They are going to infect that man on the island, aren't they?

Yup, saw that on Erik Durbin's Twitter feed.
Also, it seems that Rich Blomquist (aka Mr. Kristen Schaal) has joined the writing staff -- he was the credited cowriter on the season premiere (along with director John Solomon), and he also wrote an upcoming ep (#407) that KSchaal will direct. :)

KWiig and Chris Elliott aren't listed as guest stars on this one... :\
If they aren't guest stars, I wonder what we think will happen to them (or if they will go off on their own). My theory is that they are going to show Pamela developing symptoms of the virus and send her off, but later this season, we will find out that some mutation made the virus lose its lethality, leading them to finding Mike alive as well (or possibly showing them at the same time).

Do we have the cryptic tweet episode summaries yet?

There is a minor continuity error concerning Pence and DeVos's ages at death, but I am going to pretend that they said Pence was 60, not 61. Or, maybe Pence instructed the media to report his age from conception.
2018: Mike Pence takes over as president for unknown reasons
Early Summer 2019: The early days of the virus, including Pamela's banquet when one guest falls ill
Late Summer 2019: Society starts to panic, MotoCross Championships with the masks (the Motocross Championships are usually in early September, it seems)
September, 2019: President Pence dies, President Ryan takes over
Fall 2019: The presidential line of succession occurs (possibly more rapidly than I first imagined)
November (?), 2019: President DeVos dies, society begins to fall apart
Thanksgiving-ish 2019: Pamela's husband gets sick, Pamela enters the bunker
2020 and 2021: The events of the premiere episode
November-ish 2021: Tandy meets Carol after attempting suicide
2022: The bulk of Season 1, including the introduction of more survivors
Summer/Fall 2022: Tandy is banished from Tucson, and Carol leaves with him
Fall 2023: After being surprised on the beach, Gordon dies of a heart attack
Late 2023: The events of Season 2A
Christmas 2023: Phil II's appendicitis and Mike's return to Earth
December 2023/January 2024: Mike's interaction with Pat
Mid-to-late January, 2024: Mike meets up with the group, much of season 2B
February 9, 2024: Mike coughs up blood
February 10, 2024: Tandy wakes up to see Mike having left Malibu for Tucson
February 11, 2024 (date known from fart jar): Tandy leaves Mike in Tucson
Mid-February, 2024: Pat arrives in Malibu and is eventually run over
Late February/Early March 2024: Group arrives in Silicon Valley, bulk of Season 3
Late March, 2024: Gail gets stuck in the elevator, Lewis dies attempting flight
April, 2024: Jasper arrives
October, 2024: We return from the time jump and see all that has happened, along with the events of the finale

I love Will Forte's mindf*ck writing but lately with this show he's pushed it too far into full dumbarse territory. It's his show but I feel I may finally be done. It's a comedy but I want a little less psycho Tandy and maybe more on the days of the virus.
I want more virus backstory as well (that's why I liked the Pamela episode), maybe even a plot where it mutates so some of them are in danger. That could be genuinely terrifying if done well! Another interesting one would be where someone (Carol might be best for this) comes down with what they all think is the virus, causing everyone to freak out, but it turns out to be just a really bad cold. When she gets better, it prompts Tandy to go back to Tucson and figure out if Mike really had the virus or not.

I'm confident in its renewal this season, so I don't think it will be canceled after 3 without a proper ending. A few ideas I have had, some sadder than others:
-It was all a dream, but with a twist- the virus was real and it takes place in 2019 or early 2020, sometime after President DeVos's death. Tandy is having a dream about what it would be like if he happened to survive, as he is one of the last people left. But, in the final scene, he wakes up and coughs up blood and it pans to an image of Mike stuck up in space.
-It was all real, and the survivors have made a nice life for themselves (probably in the late 2020s). But, then, the virus mutates so that they are no longer immune, and we see them all die one by one- except for Tandy, who, by some miracle, happened to be immune to both strains and actually winds up the "last man on Earth".
-They are able to completely rebuild society, finding Pamela, Mike, and some other survivors, enough for a diverse enough gene pool, and we see the children grown up with a food source (possibly even including some animals), and the show ends in a flash-forward with the elderly characters reminiscing on how they succeeded in regenerating the human race from near-extinction.
-The most likely: they find a community of people that are living well, almost as if the virus never hit, and Mike is there.

With the time jump, it's likely now about August of 2024

I still think he is going to turn up at some point, whenever Sudekis is available.

Was I the only one expecting either Pamela or Mike to be in that police car? And, what will come of that asteroid hit?

It seems like we will be pretty happy with the ending, with something crazy happening in the middle of the hour.

I love this show, but I felt like they let their Hollywood left-wing political bubble get to them in writing last night's episode. The pro-2A Republican Senator from Montana is the bad guy? Kirkman and his wife go off on gun control, his wife on the mythical "gender pay gap" (and did anyone else notice the not-so-subtle attack on Trump with the factory worker). I don't want to be too political on here, but this show got so political (out-of-nowhere, really) last night. I bet it was the first episode written after the inauguration. Kirkman may call himself an "Independent", but his entire staff are Democrats and he served in the Democratic administration.
This is all a shame because I love this show, but I don't love hearing my values and beliefs mocked constantly by Hollywood. I will keep watching because I want to find out who is behind the conspiracy, but I don't know how much more liberal propaganda I can take before I tune out. Let me guess- conservatives will somehow be behind this- and Kimble turns out to be bad, naturally, since she is a Republican.
I hope the Designated Survivor of March is back next week, not that atrocity we witnessed last night.

I gave up on this show after this episode. It's ostensibly a (black) comedy, but it just keeps getting darker and darker. Almost no people left on Earth, and the writers keep killing off the few who remain. Every time a new person appears, they get killed off eventually. I have no doubt that the Kristen Wiig character is doomed, if she ever does manage to meet the rest of the gang.
The show is just spinning its wheels. There is no hope for the human race, as there is not nearly enough genetic variation to repopulate. It's all just too depressing.
I'm still almost certain that Mike is going to turn up alive at some point. If he had died, we would have gotten confirmation of that by now.

The Den Of Geek writers'-room walk-throughs are back for the second half of LMOE s.3! :)
Part 5 -- "Got Milk?" (3x10)
Topics include casting Kristen Wiig and fitting her into the filming schedule, how this wasn't originally planned to be the mid-season premiere (it was the last episode filmed for this season), how the character of Pamela Brinton came about, why the writers finally caved on their "no flashback episodes" rule, tidbits about the drone footage, introducing the idea of bunker people, the last-minute Betsy DeVos joke, etc.
That presumably means that we won't see Pamela again this season (maybe unless she shows up at the end of the finale).

I'm picturing what it must have been like for a kid to try to survive (2 years now?) all alone in that environment. Damn, that's heartbreaking,
We're nearly 5 years removed now, actually. It's the spring of 2024, and the virus seems to have been in the summer/fall of 2019.

Teams started out from all different places in the containment area, though, ranging from South Carolina to Florida. Doubtful the same rain would be falling everywhere in a 100,000 sq. mile area at the exact same time. That would be a bit much for a hurricane, even. :)
It was Tropical Storm Colin, according to when Stephen and English started, which did affect most of that area.

It wasn't either of the winning teams. It was the Muslims.
A theory that occurred to me in watching the finale. According to the timeline we were able to put together, Stephen and English were the actually the first team to start, right? Them being the first to start and then succeeding would explain why the hunters were cracking down on everyone else that much harder. They'd already been beaten once.
I thought they all started the same weekend, since it was raining on Day One for a bunch of the teams.

Reading that article, I'm not sure I entirely buy that killing Tandy off was ever seriously considered, at least not after series one. He's the title character! Will Forte runs the show! Surely that just...wouldn't work?
He did scare me for a second in last season's finale when he pretended to have the virus as a practical joke to Mike!

I wonder, How many characters have died now?
Gordon, Phil II, Pat, Darrell, Lewis, and possibly Gail and Mike (so 5-7, not including everyone in the virus episode).

Did the showrunner who usually tweets out cryptic 1-word/phrase summaries for each episode do that for this spring yet?

I know, but maybe it was a contractual thing, like they had to forfeit their ownership if they got sick.
But then, they could have gone inside when Pence died. They wouldn't get sick for a while (I'm assuming it was a while, since five more presidents died in the interim, plus all the cabinet members they skipped over), and they had to realize it was bad then.

S04.E10: Paint Misbehavin'
in The Last Man On Earth [V]
· Edited by Matt1
I hate to be that guy, but the show messed up its own timeline in this episode. A couple times earlier in the series, the virus was revealed to have occurred in 2019 and they revealed the present to be early 2024 at the end of Season 2 (probably late 2024 now after the time jump). Tandy said it had been only four years since the virus (unless they want to reframe the virus as 2020 so it doesn't seem so it doesn't seem so near to viewers).
