Literally all comments about spoilers are wrong. Fate and Checks Out are not giving away anything since it is... the end of the season and all the characters had some fate.

Agree with all of this. But I think Quinn was the only one to actually have an awakening/change out of the group. Now whether that awakening is exploitative or not is up for debate (he was invited, he didn’t force himself into it) but I think in terms of story, he’s meant to be the one person who is now in a “better”…

Tanya’s excruciatingly return for her designer sunglasses with Belinda weeping

There is a non-zero percentage of people (especially in their 20's) who want to fight the system, but have someone else do the dirty work. Paula is very much the avatar of that world, even when contrasted with the fake wokeness in Olivia.

I think she’s meant to be the proxy for that audience that wants to overthrow the power structure and ends with her realizing the futility of doing that with grand, cinematic gestures. Whether or not that is a relatable, sympathetic, etc. character is a reflection of the viewer more than the writer. 

The line between tragedy and comedy is very thin

Just like Dan Harmon’s ‘Sirens of Titan.’

They could be the Winthorpe and Valentine of frozen concentrated fart juice futures.

“Wow oh wowwwww....” 

Huh. Must’ve missed that in the announcement. Seems.... not as great an idea. But they don’t pay me the big bucks.

Bitch, please.

Why not just chalk it up to “my neighbor is weird” and move on?

Lotus: Absolutely. It should be a woke “Fantasy Island” where entitled assholes get comeuppance.

Top 5 likelihood:

One of the great things about this series is how the characters are both very broad, but EXTREMELY grounded. I’ve dealt with more than a few Tanyas in my career with both positive and negative outcomes. :)

I don’t think he’s autistic. That’s just the actor. He’s the same way in “Woman in the Window” where I thought he was playing autistic. He’s just that kind of dude, I think.

I’d actually like that fade out on Kai to be the end of that storyline. Because there’s no good way for it to end that isn’t totally nihilistic. He gets away and cashes out the bracelets? Unlikely. He gets caught and we have to be hit in the face with a frying pan with the whole “fighting the system isn’t as easy as…

I have a hard time as classifying any of these people (with the exception of, maybe, Belinda, which makes me think there’s a twist coming) as anything near good. They are all bad people. Or more directly exploitative and self-centered (which is the point of the show, no?).

As a long-time fan of “Seinfeld” this show…

I think that makes it all the more ironic if it is. He embraces nature and it kills him (drowning... or something happens when he goes out with the rowers he’s talking to in the most recent episode).
