"You gotta have faith." Right?
Click here for a preview clip. That's the great veteran NYC actor Tom Noonan in the image above and in the preview.
Leave it to Louis C.K. to begin his episode of religion with a conversation in and around a glory hole in a gas station bathroom.
Three episodes left and I can't imagine the two after this one getting any more provocative than this one, which I saw thanks to the fine people at FX, who I thank.
If you have ever had a crisis of faith, or if you aren't a person of faith, or even if you just tangentially have a connection to being told to believe in something that seems completely outrageous on its face, you gotta see this episode.
And I'm not entirely sure, but I think there's a pretty good chance that William Donahue from the Catholic League will scream himself red in the face afterward. Or at least he would if he didn't have so many pals at another Newscorp unit, that collection of schemers and scammers who work at the Fox Noise Channel.
(I think some Donahue-based controversy would be great for the show, especially with the two-episode season finale running next Tuesday night September 7.)
And I'll just say this as I close ... this half hour of television is the most honest portrayal I've ever seen of a parent and child discussing religion, and that final scene between young Louie and his mom may be the best single scene in the series.
At least for this fallen Catholic it was.
