Louis C.K. really wants us to locate that woman he had a one night stand with...
The Season Five finale of Louis C.K.'s critically-acclaimed comedy "Louie" aired this past Thursday on FX. The entire episode was set in Oklahoma City. You can watch it online here. Before you do, let me warn you.
1. The episode wasn't filmed in Oklahoma City. Don't expect to see any passing shots of the Devon Tower, Gold Dome or Plaza District. We also missed out on the potential comedy gold of Louis complaining about eating a Gobble Gobble at your neighborhood Louie's.
2. It's not a very flattering portrayal of the 405. The show follows conventional stereotypes and portrays Oklahoma City locals as two-dimensional, simpleton, racist idiots. This shouldn't be a shock. As we've documented in the past, Louis C.K. gets a kick out of making fun of our town's culture, tragedies and easy woman.
Anyway, I figured it would be fun to write a little recap / synopsis of the episode. As with all other TV recaps on the Internet right now, I should point out I've never read the Game of Thrones books and don't plan on doing so. I'm choosing to enjoy Louie the TV show as a TV show. I don't care about what happens to Louis in the books. No spoilers please.
