  1. April's not interesting enough a character to be a shitty person and have you continue to root for her. The actress is beautiful, but so what. I hope Choi and Will find love elsewhere. Dr. Marcel is terrible, I don't know who would find him appealing... if the showrunners wanted to shake things up, they should have had April get involved with Dr. Latham. Unfortunately he wouldn't stoop that low, and it would be a nonsensical twist, but at least he'd be a series regular.
  2. I'm sure they wanted the David vs. Shaun battle to be head to head... but they also took a strong season and put the tribes way out of balance and destroyed Harry's gameplay. Love the season so far, but I hope this doesn't derail it after the inevitable drama fallout from the fake idol.
  3. I think the cliffhanger about Daya's fate might be the strongest evidence the show may return in some form in the future. Whether a revival in a few years or a feature film. It makes no sense why they wouldn't fill in that gap, if there wasn't going to be some sort of sequel.
  4. You can feel like you shouldn't bring more people into a fucked up world, yet also want to care for someone who is already here. I think that was her thinking. What sucks about this thought process... although noble... is that good people are bringing less kids into the world... while the thoughtless continue to bring more and more... creating a stupider and more terrible world overall.
  5. Hellman is warden because this is a cautionary tale about the current political climate under which we all live. It's inconceivable that he could be running that facility to a decent person yet people like he and Litvack are currently in power... not the Tamikas and the Caputos. The show is a call to action and although it would be nice to see them live happily ever after it wouldn't make sense given the existential threat the current administration poses to our country and the world.
  6. I don't know if it's because it's lean times for the television viewer right now, but I found the final season really moving. I liked pretty much everything except Piper and Alex and the ridiculously clumsy metaphor of using the Chicken Run Hamsterdam to represent the Stanford Experiment nature of human beings. It's not that I dislike Piper or Alex as characters... I enjoyed their interactions with other characters in the show... it's just they didn't really have anything interesting to say about them that couldn't have been better explained by Jason Biggs character's take. I really hope they find a way to bring this back. With such a huge cast it's probably impossible and I wouldn't want to see a half ass spinoff show up on Freeform... but we really need this show right now, at least until there's a regime change. If they don't... thank you so much to the cast and production for 7 wonderful seasons.
  7. Al would have probably been a decent man had he not been abused as a child, and I think he was implying this world was too horrible for him. I think in spite of his brutal Machiavellian nature he had a compassionate side and was only the product of his environment. It doesn't really make sense in the sense that God would have created this world, but I felt like it was something along the lines that angels or the idea of pure righteous God are too good for this world.
  8. I like Villanelle and Eve individually, but they have grown tiresome with their unbelievably contrived attraction for each other... I also thought that Hugo was a one dimensional waste of time. Jodie and Sandra and the actress who plays Carolyn are very entertaining so I'll continue watching for the humor... but I don't buy the idea that otherwise intelligent women would behave so stupidly... there's not enough history or even a short fling to create such an obsession... and even the whole psychology behind it rings false for both characters.
  9. Of course I got that part... I just didn't think fascism was the message they were trying to convey. He was summarily executing people in the street after they had surrendered. I'm surprised that they are trying to build a better world and that issue wasn't addressed.
  10. I don't get why Grey Worm had so much power just because of his personal vendetta against Cersei. I understand that the Unsullied were crucial to saving Westeros, but is the message really that one can have a semi democracy as long as you kiss the military's ass, no matter if they are right or wrong? It's interesting that Arya is heading West, Jon is heading North... was Drogon heading east with Dany's body? Is Naath to the South? Hopefully we'll find out in a few years.
  11. So his brother is King of Westeros, his sister is Queen of the North, his other sister is Christopher Columbus... and Jon Snow still has to stay with the Night Watch? Grey Worm needs to get a grip... I predicted Sansa and Tyrion would rule at the end so I was satisfied that I sort of got it right. Decent ending that seemed to build up to the possibility of a sequel so I can't complain. Thanks to all involved for such a great show!
  12. People should never be bullied or pressured to having kids, but when I see two intelligent, decent people decide to have children, I look at it as one more potential voter who might offset the millions of stupid people who have kids who become easily manipulated by the media. Not that educated people aren't manipulated as well... and that latchkey kids can't blossom into amazing people. But it seems to me if conscientious, moral people continue to pass on having children while fools carelessly multiply... it's no wonder why sometimes our democracy seems doomed to failure. I enjoyed the last season of the Big Bang Theory. Unlike The Office, Modern Family, Game of Thrones (so far), some other great series that have had regrettable final runs... this season seemed to capture some of the magic of its early seasons. Thanks to everyone involved in making this show.
  13. I didn't see Angel but Dexter and Lost were bad a long time before the last few episodes. Maybe it's most like Battlestar if the last episode is terrible.
  14. I always liked Dany... but similar to Jon, I always thought of her as a trope more than a fully fleshed out character. Her character almost feels like one of those child stars whose existence was warped by an abnormal childhood. I've rooted for her throughout the show, but I've never thought she'd end up on the throne. I still think it will be Sansa, Arya, or Tyrion.
  15. If you were referring to me, I don't consider myself a vindicated expert. I haven't enjoyed the last two episodes... this one had a couple nice moments but still not great. I only said that the madness has been alluded to throughout the series. The season still feels rushed like Boardwalk Empire's last season.
