If only it were.

100%. Any goodwill for Mickey or Gus I had in the One Long Day episode was spent long ago. They're both horrible people whom I don't give a fuck about. Bertie though…..

Holy shit. The writing is not even in the same stratosphere. Seriously, are you even listening to the horribly stilted dialogue, the way the characters react in ways that serve the plot instead of being true to characters, etc? I appreciate the world building on the show, but long for decent writers to take on the

I agree with most of what you said about writing, but you're mostly talking plotting, which the 100 does very well. The writing, dialoguewise and character consistency is weak at BEST. No one talks like an actual person, no one considers things ever, it's all knee jerk reactions etc. pretty terrible.

Even if her assessment of Gus was on the nose, it's not inaccurate to say she's manipulative and shallow for her choice of break-up method.

Okay, hold up. The OP was about "brilliantly written shows". I watch the 100, but The 100 is about as far from brilliant writing as you can get.

Which changes nothing about my point, making me wonder why you replied to it.

SPOILERS!!!

It might have made for an interesting wrinkle to have had Negan upped the demands from Hilltop as retaliation for the killing of him men (which he would likely think the Hilltoppers did).

FFS, whatever. If you can't just tell us what you're on about, what's the use. Forget I asked.

Wasn't me, can you lay out your point a bit more?

Even the super crappy episodes!

What the fuck does "Canadian Nice" mean, and why do you think a Canadian's pleasantness is superficial?

You mean Natalie, MIss "I could break up with you because I'm clearly not in to you, but I'd rather start treating you shitty so you'll do it instead, that way I can pretend to be the bigger person"? That Natalie?

I have just the final episode to go, and most the goodwill that the One Long Day episode bought is more than spent. The only people on this show I'd even consider hanging out with are the Title Song gang, and Bertie, whom I'm seriously convinced would have been a much better choice to make a show about.

This episode straight up sucked, and Andy Dick is 90% responsible for that. It was a chore to get through.

You realize how god-damned pretentious to say something like "overpraised by people who are often not very well versed in Hip Hop", right?

He's already made his test reel with Kingsman,

Salom, Super G, Cross Country, Biathalon….

Except that she seemed to blame everything on Gus's inability to break up with her, instead of nutting up and doing it herself. I'd say that's a bit manipulative, less than sensible, and pretty cruel, really.
