To prevent another episode of broken heart syndrome, many healthcare professionals recommend long-term treatment with beta blockers or similar medicines. These medicines block the potentially harmful effects of stress hormones on the heart.
While watching the episode, I jotted down a few of my favorite lines:
-Trevor's "So you've been here just the right amount of time to leave no opening for conversation whatsoever." when Susan clearly does not want to speak with him.
-The Trevor/Dan exchange, "And they say *I'm* delusional." "They do?"
Really sad episode. I really thought it was going to end up that Susan was actually in the witness protection program, so her whole "I'm dying" thing really threw me off. Other than that, though, I liked it. It's sad to start really getting invested in these characters, though, because I know it's going to end soon.

"He's a god. The man is a god. Plain and simple."
As I was reading Alan's thoughts on the god/delusional thing from this episode and the last (Pick up Schticks), I thought that maybe this is what happens to a god when he comes to earth--the descent into form brings out some crazy shamanic qualities that don't manifest on Mount Olympus.
Yep, I think he's a god--a delusional, homesick god.
One of the things I loved most about the episode is despite the sentimental, happy ending, Trevor isn't comforted by it. Dan is still dead. As he tells Claire, "I'm not taking credit for this one." And the final shot is a dejected, emotionless Trevor passively watching Three Stooges videos in an attempt to cheer himself up.
Great episode, I've been waiting to talk about this one. Yeah, this did not 100% confirm for me that Trevor was a god, either (even though I am biased towards that as what the truth is). Good twist there.
The ending scene, with Trevor watching the Stooges and not laughing, is lovely, as was Trevor's remark about losing a friend. I liked seeing that depth in him.
This makes me wonder: would the powers that be count this couple as a match, or not? Any thoughts?
I'd like to mention that there was a Tru Calling episode that reminds me of this- in that case, Tru keeps trying to save the life of a guy, but he dies every time. Turns out he's supposed to die so that his dying kid can get his heart, and Tru's real goal is to manipulate the situation so that can happen.
I thought the Alex/Claire dynamic in this was interesting. I've gotten that sort of treatment from guys before, and it ALWAYS meant that they were going to dump my ass within (at longest) two weeks. However, having Alex's cold behavior translate into "I love you" sounded...well, totally fake given my experience. Can any guys reading this give their thoughts on that? Would any male actually act like that?
I haven't had a chance to review the episodes with you, Alan, but this is definitely the episode that I remember most strongly from its run on TV. I definitely thought at the time that the upshot of it was that he was a god---he matched the woman with a broken heart with her true match.
And that closing scene where Trevor is so silently distraught has always stayed with me.
Brand new to the show, and just caught up with the posts over the weekend (suffice to say I'm totally hooke now).
Agree with everyone's comments here in what a great, sad, and fun episode this was and I think it was a brilliant partner to the episode prior (having watched them back to back).
A great moment that seemed to get buried by all of the later events, which you alluded to, Alan, is the introduction to Dan in the video store. As he and Piven begin ranting back and forth about their philosophies on life and love... just as it verged on 'this would only happen on a TV series' moment... Piven (and the writers) points out how odd the context of the conversation is, with Dan jokingly citing his security in his sexuality as his reason for being ok with talking to some random dude about love in a video store. From that point on, their friendship and kinship is totally believable (in the context of a series about a guy who may or may not be a god) and I'm along for the ride for the rest of the episode.
Can't wait for Lost on Thursday, and the Wire is totally keeping me going these days (I vote yea for the On-Demand blogs instead of waiting a week, btw) but I can't say I'm missing much of the rest of the network garbage thanks to gems like this stoking the fire.
Count me among the saps. This episode choked me up quite a few times.
Am I the only one that doesn't like it when the episode's opening scene doesn't include Trevor and Claire? Last week we had Claire and Alex in bed, this week we have Trevor and Dan in the video store. While I loved the banter between Trevor and Dan, I think that this shows greatest strength is the interaction between Claire and Trevor. As good as these episodes are, the beginnings always startle me a bit.
I think if every episode opened with the two of them bickering, it would get tired after a while. But if it's Claire/Trevor banter, ye seek, then get thee to a YouTube browser for the next episode, which has the longest (and one of the funniest) of those scenes to date.

Not to mention one of the best visceral renditions of a hangover ever put to film.
Along similar lines, as Trevor and Dan were bantering at the video store about the oddness of two unfamiliar men talking about relationships, my wife wondered aloud how the hypothetical "Cupid" remake might deal with same sex couples. In 1998, this wasn't really a possibility ("Will & Grace" had just come on the air, but it would be years before it was allowed to show two men kissing), but standards have changed somewhat. The gods themselves -- and the Greeks and Romans who worshipped them -- seemed open to various romantic and sexual combinations, so I would think Trevor gets credit for pairing off two men or two women.
In another episode, earlier or later (I cheated), Trevor is talking to Claire's assistant, and they refer to a gay couple he set up. Their dog-ownership was his clue. Anyone want to point out the specific episode? It might even be the pilot.

No, it's definitely later - although I can't remember which one it is - but I noticed it too, because I'd been wondering when same-sex couples were going to show up.
This one didn't blow me away as much as it seems to have done for other people, I think because aside from the Dancing Bennetts I haven't had much invested in the couple of the week. What I remember most is the look on Trevor's face when Alex tells him he (Alex) is in love with Claire. Piven continues to astound me with his range. It's funny to see that Rob Thomas thought Katy Selverstone had a Jodie Foster vibe because that's exactly what I thought too. Can Selverstone speak perfect French, though?
Speaking of the Piven, there's a suggestion for you Alan, should you ever find yourself lacking in stuff to blog about (ha!): what about S1 of Larry Sanders?
Wow!
Just wow.
Okay, more than just wow...
I kind of remember this episode from when it originally aired, and knew where it was going. But that didn't diminish its power - what a moving piece of television. Although things tied together almost too nicely, it was well written, really well acted, and yes.. it made me cry.
I loved Trevor's inconsolability at Dan's loss, and the fact that he was trying to work through it by watching comedy films - that was a nice end to the episode.
And Claire's reactions this episode sort of redeemed her manipulativeness in the last episode - she was back to being a regular flawed human, instead of a deranged person.
And the guest cast did a great job: Dan & Susan really pulled me in and felt like whole human beings, not just walk through guest stars.
Well I know I'm a sap for that kinda stuff, so it's always good to know that people who DON'T consider themselves saps also feel something :)
Fantastic episode, and I totally didn't see the end coming.
And Jeremy Piven really is my hero. The guy really deserves more fame than he has (although Entourage has shot him up a bit, still).
And I know it's a minor thing, but this show is just old enough that I still get surprised by some things that have changed in less than ten years. Trevor renting a stack of video tapes was one of those moments. Most places by me don't even stock ANY anymore.
This is the other episode I remember from the original run. I'm conflicted. At the original time, I think I liked the big transplant twist--it was well done--but as the years went on I realized how corny it was, and it still came off that way. It wasn't fantastical unbelievable like the dancing in "Heaven..." but more poorly contrived unbelievable.
But Selverstone and Piven did a great job.
Add me to the camp you don't view the coincidence as strong proof the Trevor is Cupid. Partly because it seemed contrived by writer fiat, but also because he not only doesn't take credit, but can't quite believe it himself.
My only other complaint is that there was no scene of Claire's reaction when she learned Trevor didn't lose his godhood in the previous episode.

I don't know, but it feels true. I'm feel like it's something I would do. (I also feel the breakdown Trevor had at the end of last week's episode and the cut violent tantrum are things I would do too. :-) ) 0852c4b9a8
