Wilfred: Season 3, Episode 11 “Stagnation” (B+)
It’s easy to forget that other people exist on this show besides Ryan and Wilfred. This episode brought back two recurring players from this season, Ann and Kristen, to help explain how their presence in Ryan’s life was affecting his productivity. Ann thinking about moving out was a great impetus for Ryan to meet with a recruiter, but, as always, he never quite follows through on the goals that he sets for himself. His sex dream was about as productive as he got, and I suppose asking Ann to move out was a positive step that might actually lead to something, if not a new course altogether for Ryan. The presence of her pit bull in heat was over-the-top in all the ways that you’d come to expect on this show, and proved to be a generally entertaining if appropriately brief plotline. Ann departed with just the right amount of weirdness, noting that her new home will be closer to her boyfriend’s prison. Kristen, on the other hand, revealed herself to be entirely dependent on Ryan, and telling the masseuses that she and Ryan were a couple just to get a free bottle of wine was pretty twisted. Leave it to Wilfred to scare Ryan into thinking that Wilfred inseminated her with his sperm to get him to wake up and realize that their “funemployed” friendship was getting unhealthy. Of the random moments on this show that seem to pop up at least a few times each episode, my favorite from this half-hour was the anger that Wilfred expressed about Legos not being for adults.
