scrb December 9, 2015 Share December 9, 2015 Of course they're not going to end it. If the show gets any ratings, Showtime will keep it on the air because they're trying to build up its library vs. HBO. The show is no longer about the affair, it's about the trial.

There have never been any rumors or stories to my knowledge about them with anyone else. Plenty of people don't have children or get married and it doesn't mean they're in open relationships. For the record the guy Diane was supposedly making out with has denied the story.

Personally I obviously don't know these people, so I won't say for a fact they are or they aren't in an open relationship. If they are, whatever, to each his own. I'm just speaking from my own personal experience as someone who has never wanted kids or particularly been fussed about marriage and been in relationships and have never done or been interested open relationships.

Cosmocrush December 15, 2015 Share December 15, 2015 Seems the critic at Vanity Fair isn't impressed with Noah's novel or the writing on this show: http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/12/the-affair-season-2-noah-novel It now feels as if the series has been saddled with Noah’s bad book in some metaphoric or karmic sense—just as, in a more literal sense, it has always been burdened by its silly murder mystery subplot, to which, further indulging the Aronofsky overkill itch, the writers have this season added a paternity muddle. At some point, presumably in Season 3, a show that was once admirably character driven will devolve into a Perry Mason–style courtroom whodunit, with Helen’s purloined pacifier eliciting gasps from the jury. Descent—they said it, alright. And I’m not holding out much hope for Noah’s “great man” novel-in-progress about Omar Bradley. Neither, it turns out, is his editor, Harry. In Sunday’s penultimate episode he begged Noah to put the new book aside and crank out a sequel to Descent. Drop the pretension, Harry suggested, and just admit this is the kind of writer you are: a potboiler novelist with a literary veneer. The Affair seems to be struggling towards a similar realization. http://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2015/12/the-affair-season-2-noah-novel Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/17834-the-affair-in-the-media/page/2/#findComment-1805364
Milburn Stone December 16, 2015 Share December 16, 2015 This is an ongoing problem with lots of shows, because we never know anymore how many episodes a season consists of. 12? 10? 8? 6? It could be any of those answers with any show. So--how many episodes does this season of The Affair have? Is this Sunday's episode the finale? I haven't seen last Sunday's episode yet, so I don't have the benefit of having heard any announcement that would answer my question. Knowing how many episodes matters, because as a viewer you kind of regulate your response to a given episode with that knowledge. If I'm watching the season finale of a show, I want to know going in that I'm watching the season finale of the show--not be surprised next week when it isn't on. Moderators, if you're reading--I think it could be a public service to put a pinned topic at the top of every show forum saying "This show has X episodes."

I didn't know the co-creator, who was the creator of the masterful In Treatment, had left the show in the classic situation of starting out to make art and then having the network push it in a commercial direction. I'd say no wonder it has gone downhill so badly, except that the one puzzling thing for me is that I felt it maintained its quality until halfway through the second season, and it sounds like he left long before that. (Maybe he left when they pushed for the first drop of piss in the pie, and it was only recently that the thing just became an all-out urinal cake.) Whatever the case, it is now hard to believe this was the show I was so thrilled by over the summer, catching up on S1, and then on into the fall until just a month or so ago.

It's possible, since the events of last season's finale obviously caused a rift between Noah and Alison, so poor victim Alison will need a (sympathetic, horny, male) shoulder to cry on. Cole won't be available since he's presumably happy with Luisa, so I can see her having another affair. Another possibility is that Brendan Frasier is for Helen. She didn't seem completely happy with Dr. Tinder last season, and when she told Noah that he had a job offer in LA, she didn't seem sad that he might be moving across the country. But then he was sitting next to her at the trial, which means he didn't take the job. Perhaps Helen feels suffocated and cheats on him.
