I've looked at this for like several minutes and I still don't get the joke. Probably too stupid or too tired or both. But I don't remember anything about the Steve Jobs scammer in the episode.

Oh my bad - it's based on the tweet title - "do or do not, Luke. There is no try."

Have you seen "The Dropout"?

Elizabeth Holmes (played by Amanda Seyfried) quotes Yoda to Dr. Phyllis Gardner (Laurie Metcalf) who takes her down HARD, saying something like "Okay.....you're quoting a tiny green guy to me who possesses all the knowledge in the word except proper grammar and syntax. Never say that again."

And then she tells her about how science it ALL trial and error, and that Yoda quote is dumb AF. It's hilarious. And then Holmes STILL makes that quote her entire company's entryway 😆

I found the YouTube clip! https://youtu.be/LaDHn8Ds7_I

Lmao I haven't seen The Dropout or Star Wars so there was no chance of me getting this joke😂😂

This scene is so cold, I need to add this show to my watch list😂 Laurie Metcalf is such an underrated actress!

I'm too lazy to use spoilers code thing so I'll try to not share any big plot details. And it's 4:20am and I'm sleep deprived so this will probably not make any sense

If it makes you feel any better, this is a 10 episode season. 😂

My husband and I have been REALLY enjoying this show. Harrison Ford is just so good in it. I am so glad it got renewed!

We just finished the episode that takes place the day after the engagement party and I really loved the scene where Liz and Sean are out for a walk and she stomps all over Pam's white flowers lmaooooooo

I really enjoy parts of this show and many of the characters, but the central conceit does not work for me. I don't like Jimmy, I don't care about Jimmy...so it's very weird to have every character be connected through him! It doesn't even click in some places I think. He and Brian are supposed to have been friends since college and they have zero friendship chemistry so it's like Michael Urie is just floating weirdly around the show.

Also I really like the idea of a therapist over meddling in their clients lives! That could be a whole show right there, but this show never commits to it or even explores it properly at all, it's just a vague excuse for a hangout sitcom.

Paul is a great character and I'm really enjoying his story. Love Gabby and Liz.

I love that Derek only had to think for about two seconds before agreeing to put $20k into Sean's new catering business. i was really unsure about Derek at the beginning of the season (I thought his cheerfulness was sarcasm) but he cemented my love for his character when he said hello to Pam the neighbor but as soon as Liz said, "We hate Pam!" he immediately told Pam to fuck off and then cheerfully drove away.

When Wendie Malick initially showed up as Paul's doctor, I knew there was no way they would have cast someone like that in such a minor role so I loved seeing her hook up with Paul (that's without getting into the ethics of sleeping with a patient). I also liked that the show cast an actress who is age appropriate (Wendie is 72 and Harrison is 80). Usually even much older actors still get noticeably younger love interests (Patrick Stewart was 79 when ST: Picard began airing and his love interest was played by Orla Brady who was 58, and on The Old Man, Jeff Bridges was 72 when the first season aired and his love interest was
