Cece has maybe been the MVP of the season so far. Loved her comment about how the preschoolers looked “super hot” in their uniforms, and when she snapped at Schmidt and Jess for patting themselves on the back when she was the one who was pregnant.

My season grades: S1 A-, S2 D+, S3 C+. I thought this season was generally mediocre and it ended kinda badly, but I was entertained throughout, so I’ll be watching S4 (hopefully it’ll be the show’s last, though).

Oh shit, she sounds so good. I need to see these guys live sometime.

Jesus, Cece was hilarious this episode. I really like the two child actors that play Ruth, too. I laughed at quite a few of Ruth’s lines, and the delight on her face when she yelled, “Wake up, daddy!” was adorable.

Not to be picky about feline acting, but if Syd and the cat switched minds and the cat-in-Syd’s-body is cleaning herself and slinking around, shouldn’t Syd-in-the-cat’s-body be sitting upright, walking on two feet, doing other human mannerisms, etc.? The cat constantly looking around, lying down, and licking its lips…

Man, this just made me so happy. This has long been one of my favorite shows, even in the off seasons, and I’m so glad we’re getting this abbreviated final season.

I have several friends who stopped watching the show in S3 or even S2, saying that the show got so bad, which I really think means they just got bored with it. (They’re also not people who watch a ton of TV.) S3 was probably my least favorite, but overall this is one of the most consistently great shows on TV. But…

I’m becoming increasingly sure that this is the best season of the show. It’s on a hell of a run right now, and somehow this season managed to make me come all the way around to Jane-Rafael, which is a miracle (as a #TeamMichael person who was pissed at the idea of her getting back with Rafael after Michael’s death).

Ugh, this sucks a little. I think if there’d been one more season, it could’ve ended in the perfect place. And there’s no other show I watch that’s quite so light, happy, and pleasantly meandering (especially one set in NYC - I’ll have to rely on High Maintenance and Crashing for that now).

Hmm. There’s not really any huge cliffhanger that’s left unresolved, and generally this show isn’t very plot-driven anyway. You kind of watch it and enjoy it and take in the visuals and feel of it, but rarely are there big crucial plot movements.

Eh, I don’t like it at all - the main protagonist is even duller than usual, the sexism/exploitation bothered me more than usual, and I didn’t even really find it as stylish or fun as some people seem to. But to each their own.

IMO F8 is the worst of the series other than Tokyo Drift and Fast & Furious (the fourth one). Definitely disappointing after I really enjoyed 5-7. There’s maybe one or two memorable action sequences (there’s one fun one with raining cars), but nothing as good as the box getting dragged through the city in Fast Five or…

Really excited for this, and curious how KJ will do based on only having seen him in Riverdale. The book is excellent.

“The Hate U Give” refers to Tupac’s interpretation of THUG LIFE being an acronym for “the hate u give little infants fucks everybody.”

I assume you finished the episode and figured it out, but yeah, I had the same reaction at the beginning: I was super disoriented, and thought I must’ve forgotten how the last episode ended.

Agreed, but I liked that Chase said “She’s not that old. But that’s how the public will see it.” So I think the in-universe explanation for it was that the PR for it would be bad because the media would make her out to be an innocent old lady.

I thought this episode was okay, but having the Rubik’s cube take Karl out makes the story less interesting. It would’ve been cool to see Tandy (or anyone in the group) actually have to grapple with having to kill someone.

I actually thought this episode was pretty good. Only thing I didn’t like was the idiotic Jeremy romantic subplot, which...I’m baffled that Jeremy is still on this show, and treated as a valid romantic lead. He should probably take the fall for Yael and Coleman dying and leave.

I had this same thought. I only read the first two sentences of the article before I watched the trailer, so I got unreasonably excited for a dramatic game-changer, then realized everything was the same. The trailer was really the show in a microcosm.

You’re right that I’ve been lucky never to have a Trent in my life, but it’s not that I don’t think goofy-creepy guys can turn dangerous-creepy. My argument is more that in the context of the show, Trent has always been a comedic figure, and I don’t think the writers did a great job transitioning into making him a…
