On the Road to Glory: To the toilet bowl Episode 12

The penultimate episode of Intramural Glory finds the team coming to terms with the failed expectations as they prepare for their final game. It also seems to be a 2 part conclusion of the the series, but no word on when the conclusion will come or if Humdinger will roll it into a 2nd season. So there's a bit of a cliff at the end.

This by far is one of the best episodes of the series. There are so many great commentaries and get this- there's even drama. Yep, the violin would seem to be playing as Ledge attempts to discuss his friends. However, what tops that dramatic display is Shelby. Yep, Shelby comes back with strong performance. In fact it is Mark Anthony like speech to inspire the team which she nails. Too bad the Ledge misinterprets it. I think one could also see the Shelby speech much like the G.I. Joe's "Knowing is Half the Battle" epilogues.
The Owen and feral cat caper could be another spin-off show after the confession he makes about handling his anger. I believe this is a true tale. I have an acquaintance at work who regularly does in the feral dogs that roam the outlands. He also speaks with great joy about it.

Now for the kudos:

Best Exit: Kyle. During the tension build of the Kraabel's spat, Kyle removes himself from the center of the scene while giving a authentic non-verbal grimace.

Best Rant: Difficult to pick one but Ledge again edges the others out because he showed some new sides to his man ego. I particularly liked the mistaken identities line: Roger, Omar and Beamer. You could see Coach McCue holding back his laughter.

Best Performances: Shelby and Owen. We don't need much explanation for Shelby. She got it done in this episode by being frank and honest. Owen showed a bit of that in this episode too. His 2 monologues were well done and showed us a level of controlled thuggery that Owen has not reached before. Honorable mention should go to McCue for a his superb composure in middle of an issue riddled team.

Until next time.
