Looking for our review of the first of the two Louie episodes that aired this week? Click here for our review of "Elevator Part 6."
Louie decided to awkwardly do something about his perceived "lack of manhood" in "Pamela Part 1" - a much more traditional Louie-style outing. Though one that still remained very much connected to the long Amia arc from the previous six episodes. As you recall, Pamela returned the States to surprise Louie and pitch the idea of the two of them becoming a casual item while he was in the midst of tragically courting Amia. Well, now that Louie was solidly down in the dumps, he figured it'd be cool if he took Pamela up on her offer.

A way less-romantic version of the way Louie and Amia hooked up a few episodes ago - when Amia first refused and then finally gave into the moment. "You can't even rape well," came Pamela's response. Which was both a joke and, well, not. Because it did get weird there for a second. And the fact that Louie took the tense, closed-mouth kiss he had with her by the doorway as a sign of victory was hilariously perverse.
"Pamela Part 1" was the first episode in a while to give us a strong sampling of different Louie vignettes. All of which worked well on different levels. It's always fun to listen to Bigelow call Louie a "classic idiot" even though he himself would never admit to knowing all of life's answers. It's as if he's become a sage by default because Louie ...
