I hope the new corporate overlords are merciful to Gerry.
But holy shit, that was an awesome finale. It definitely felt like the end of a major chapter without actually definitively wrapping anything up. I am 100% hooked for next season - the reveal about the whole group being lifers was a great cliffhanger, gripping…

Of course it fucking was.

Upvoted forever for Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. I cannot believe it wasn't anywhere on this list.

What I’m really getting from this list in this year is that out of all of its cultural, economic and sociopolitical endeavors, television is the one thing that America has gotten right.

I thought the loss of Peter Gregory/Christopher Evan Welch was a huge blow. But I still agree, Russ Hanneman, Endframe and the whole 4K stream were pretty amazing.

The actress who plays Nancy did such a great job with Nancy/Jeff.

I agree, the show has a great, understated flair for visuals. There have been a couple moments throughout the show that were just beautifully shot. The over-saturated flashbacks in Gina's backstory episode were also striking.

I am so excited for Nancy and Richard's date next week. But I really, really hope Richard's not in any real danger. As with Gerry, It's damn impressive how much likability/sympathy the writers have built into someone who is such a basically unpleasant weirdo.

The Star Wars trailers are always fabulous and you feel like they're almost definitely being put together by people who understand and love the material. They get what they're selling, which means they know exactly how to get a reaction from their target audience (those sirens!!).

Considering Kelly mentioned the alien had 'great hair,' I'm really hoping that is how they do it.

"But it also relies so heavily on these big reveal moments that I worry for the future of the show. What happens when there’s nothing left to reveal?"

Historically, yes, but the actors, especially Abigail Spencer, are so good it'd be a shame if they're never given a compelling connection to sell.

Yeah, they're also getting realllly careless about their potential effect on the past. I spent a solid minute wtf-ing when Wyatt casually tossed Rufus' digital recorder into a stream in 1754 and they just left it there.

Honestly, the overarching mystery is a flat mess so far and the time travel is pretty pedestrian but the central trio are just dynamite, individually and together. They're doing great work selling their bond as a group, like Lucy's gushing relief at seeing Rufus alive and okay in this episode.

The genuine pathos that the show gets out of its weirdos is so odd and lovely. Gerry's story was downright touching.

Seriously, people need to stop acting like all "points of views" are somehow equidistant from some universal truth. Some shit is just destructive and wrong.

I totally agree that it's awfully ironic how the obvious tragedy of Edward Herrmann's death resulted in the best storyline of the revival. Richard Gilmore's absence/presence was the strongest and truest emotional chord throughout the episodes.

I was more distracted by how obviously Melissa McCarthy was never in the same room as Yanic Truesdale.

I absolutely expected the LDB sequence to be revealed as a dream.

Argh yes, 20 minutes of the musical that had nothing to do with anything + 10 minutes of those horrible rich snits = 30 minutes that could have been spent on Lane and Jess!
