Messina is finding his way a bit better- his awkwardness is fading and he seems to be finding his character's awkward quirks, instead.
Cuoco again shines in her dry humor, deadpan delivery is definitely her specialty. But her friends are just so incredibly cringe, and the phony veneer of pretension LA-style is too much. I get this is a campy send-up on the genre and how completely insane these fanatics are, but the fringe characters far too irritating, like fingernails on a blackboard, irritating. Ruby is just gross and the epitome of disgusting.
I don't know if these ancillary characters are friends of Cuoco, but they need to stop being featured so prominently.
Basically the episode is better than the first, so we'll watch another episode.
