Oooh, that Mary Sue article is me! Thank you for linking to it! Also, good news about the DVDs, I hope they have bloopers on.

There is actually a petition going round asking Hulu to save the show: https://www.change.org/p/hulu-save-the-last-man-on-earth

I'm really cut up about this, but I suppose tweeting Hulu couldn't hurt. On the other hand, I have no idea how these things actually work. Poor cast and crew. :(

I'm still hoping that enough fan buzz might tip the scales. I've been tweeting to FoxTV almost every day. So... uh... I suppose the other likely outcome is that they block me. Or not!

I think we're meant to assume that at this point in the future, self-driving cars are a very common thing.

I have to admit, I don't like that Mike's left again, even if he's alive and well this time. We only just got him back! It smacks of no-one knowing in advance what Jason Sudeikis's schedule was, and I'll be really disappointed if we don't see him again.

Ah, leaving him a self-driving car set to exactly where they're going is very different to just leaving him! And it sounds like Melissa already talked to him and he refused.

This article bears absolutely no good news whatsoever, and now I'm mildly depressed/angry.

I really wanna see that clip, is it online anywhere? But as far as Jasper goes - he's made it kinda clear he doesn't wanna be in the group anymore, and he survived fine before he met them, even. He can drive cars, use explosives, sneak into places wearing only a Yoda costume... I wish they would write him out in a better way too, if that's really what they're doing, but "this weirdly capable kid has gone off to have adventures of his own" is definitely better than "this kid was killed by a bomb" which is what I feared might happen all the way through the first half of the season.

Oooh, what a good interview! The fact that the writers are being so cagey about Mike's "survivors" story makes me all the more convinced that it's true. Or at least some of it is.

Ooh, that's reassuring. It is a very weird situation they have set up, though. Jasper's pretty close to being a "feral child" (that definitely doesn't sound like a polite term, but I don't think there's any other?) and I guess they lack the capacity to care for him the way people would've done in a pre-virus world.

I have a feeling that the bunker people have ill intent. And I hope I'm right, because this show could really use a good Big Bad. One question that still hasn't been answered and I can't help but think it's going to be important: Where did Mike get that science van with the heat detector from? Those things aren't exactly common.

The promo pictures for this episode seem a bit more spoilery than usual, which makes me wonder: https://www.spoilertv.com/2018/04/the-last-man-on-earth-episode-417.html

I worry about Jasper. Keith L Williams isn't on the cast list for the season finale either...

Speculation based only on the promo clips: Mike spends the entire episode trying to get away from the rest of the group and investigate, and won't explain why. (I am convinced, completely convinced, that Mike is hiding some sort of Dark Secret.)
