I have a soft spot for this ridiculous show because when it first came on, it was when the covid shutdowns were starting to his hit network TV hard, and it was the only new content. (I didn't have a lot of streaming options at that time, maybe it was better.) I was so grateful for something new to watch, stuck in the house, in the middle of everything in the world falling apart. And I do mean everything.
So I've always kind of just enjoyed the absurdity of it, and retained a fondness, despite the incoherence which makes "Lost" look like a textbook example of tight story construction. This last season was something else though! Points made in this thread, I co-sign.
Mostly, when I remember La Brea, I will think of Mr. Teeny: "This plot makes no sense! Tell the people!"

I am going to be so sorry when this goofy, incoherent, illogical show is over.

I was particularly distracted by the scene with Marian and Peggy in Marian's bedroom when Peggy was telling Marian about her trip to Alabama. The bottom of the screen was blurry, and then I kept noticing it in other scenes.
Same!

I think it will be Attic Girl. She finally got her "prom night".
I also think this episode and the UK episode with a similar plotline are really interesting to consider together. The UK show is a little darker, a little less sitcom-y. The UK version, it genuinely felt like something bad might happen, and the ending was a surprise. In this, the US version, you knew there was going to be a "Bewitched" resolution. The way this show rises above Bewitched is in the performances (IMO), and the little character asides. For example Jay post-sushi.

And lets not even get into the fact that all those bags of evidence would not just be left laying around in the open. It completely ruins chain of custody and would render the items inadmissible in court.
I couldn't stop thinking about this, not even Jensen Ackles could make me think of other things! Also the investigating in the dark, confronting someone suspected of multiple murders over decades IN THEIR CLOTH JACKETS!
Worst. Cops. Ever.

Seriously. It helps and is a lot less annoying.
esp. since currently so many of the ads are for political candidates. Seeing your obnoxious ad fifteen times a night won’t make me vote for you, it fills me with rage.-

Pulling this modesty card whilst dancing and doing sexy moves in tiny hotpants combined with a very short blouse that is meant to enlarge and showcase the girls and a massive cleavage? Really??
Exactly. So if you’re in some skeevy dude’s spank bank in a (branded! with sleeves!) push-up bra and adult diapers, it’s wholesome. But if you’re in a swimsuit it makes Jesus cry. I liked Lauren, I thought she was a more substantial person than most of the TCCs, but this particular attitude is obnoxious.

Marian got away with being a total idiot and willfully blind in the face of multiple warnings and red flags with ZERO consequences.
Pending any uterine secrets.

This split screen presentation is infuriating.

That Badd wouldn't give them that - I have no words. 👿
Yes. He (or they) made it about HIM, about being “clever” and … provocative, or transgressive, or something, and not about Sam and Dean. Supernatural was a really unique thing, with a really incredible relationship with its audience and fans. The ending should have honored that. I’m bummed that the people in charge cared so little about that.
I suppose they’d say, if you’re still worked up about it a year later, we did our job. That’s just another way they completely miss the point.-

Finally recovered my Primetimer password after a loooong time in order to finally put this down. Obviously have had a lot of time to think about this, and the last season has cycled through TNT at least once since it aired originally. (WFH for 18 months now, live alone, and have the TV on low volume most of the time to keep from going insane.) I haven't watched the finale again, and doubt I ever will, but I have paid sort of half-attention to some of the final season episodes. I find that the "Chuck has been running the show all along for his own entertainment" storyline actually holds up decently well, knowing what we know now, going back many seasons.
I'm sure TPTB did the ending they did because they thought it's more memorable than a "happy" ending, or even a "the road goes on" ending. But -- it's memorable because it was terrible (and lazy and incompetent), and it sours the experience of the show both retroactively and prospectively. I thought at the time, and still think, that Sam and Dean, and we the fans, should have been given a happy ending, given the 15 years we've put into it. And because of 2020 generally, for glavin out loud. I'll never stop thinking that. I was extremely surprised that isn't what happened.
But. If Dean had to die, and Sam had to carry on, it would have cost NOTHING NOTHING NOTHING to have allowed Dean some period of time after defeating Chuck to enjoy a life. It would have been so easy to put up a "five years later" card. The way it was done wasn't in any way meaningful, it was just mean. It wasn't bittersweet, it was just shitty.
When Covid hit and it looked for a minute like we might never get a final ep, I thought that was the worst thing that could happen. But it turns out that would have been better. Because then we would have been able to create a fitting end in our imaginations. Or at least, not have to have the canon ending.

I guess the incompetence of the thing is due to Covid more than anything -- that hideous wig, worse than a CVS Halloween costume. The logic gaps and general clunkiness. What was that paperwork on Dean's desk that looked like it was going to be significant for a second? Dean taken out by Stunt Demon, I mean, Vampire #2? The absence of any other characters, except for Bobby and his unconvincing dye job? Dean so subdued? But MOSTLY -- after fifteen years we, and THEY, deserved a happy ending dammit. "Reuniting in heaven" is not a happy ending. At least not until after a good long happy life on Earth. If it was always going to be the endgame, fair enough. But this was just half-assed. So disappointed.

I did love how the episode ended on a cliffhanger (oh no! whats-his-name lost in space with air running out!) followed IMMEDIATELY by scenes from upcoming episodes with whats-his-name hanging around, completely not dead. I have a good feeling about this season!...being fundamentally the same as last season.

All of these Cindy-type hoarders need a seminar on the concept of “sunk cost”. That [whatever] you paid a lot of money for, that rotted in the yard and/or the rats pooped on? That money is never ever ever coming back. Move on from there.

Trying not to get too worked about the people not as familiar here with Dwight Yoakam, though, lol. The King of Country Cool as far as I'm concerned.
I knew of him, but hadn't heard a lot of his music until a friend got me to go with her to see him in Bakersfield at the Buck Owens Crystal Palace (which is an AMAZING place). This was quid pro quo because I've dragged her to many Mavericks shows over the years. Anyway, he puts on a fantastic show. Even if you're indifferent to country music generally, you'll have a great time.
The Mavericks are even better live, and well worth seeking out. Country mixed with Latin and all fun, all the time.

All we know is that it is called Pandora's box.
I lol'd and backed up to make sure I'd heard that right. Yes EVERYONE on this show is very interested in Pandora's "box".
Edited to add, I still adore this terrible, terrible show.

Watching so many of these older shows thanks to Pluto, I am becoming more and more disgusted with Kitty Carter. I've had supervisors who "told it like it is" in a way that wasn't demeaning. It's not impossible. I mean, we only see what the TV shows us and who knows what she's "really" like, but she just seems to enjoy being aggressively mean. Her criticism doesn't seem to be constructive, it's just...mean. She just told some poor girl, "you were on the plank and I pushed you off." BRAV-OH. If that's something you take pride in, I invite you to take several seats, assuming you can find one that fits your ample cushion. Plus, as someone else pointed out, she PUTS HER HANDS on these girls. Not okay.

I forgot Jinelle and Angela were different people.
How did Brittany Schram ever get cut? Still baffled.
