Yeah, this was god awful.

I agree about people saying episodes prior to this one were “hilarious” -- I was wondering what I wasn’t seeing (clever? good satire? yes, but hilarious??). But I don’t know, this one got quite a few guffaws out of me.

I’m wondering if they think there’s a worst-case scenario in which the series actually asserts a “truth” that has yet to be proven?

Right? I don’t understand how it wasn’t obvious that the character, in fact, did “talk in complete, well-argued sentences,” the thing Sally just said people don’t do. How did anyone read that as making fun of woke millennials? Where did that even come from?

I was surprised by the review, I actually watched this episode on Sunday evening (not watching it at the late-night hour usually dramatically decreases its comedic value for me) and got a kick out of multiple sketches — slightly more so than I usually do!

So was the finale all your worst fears?

I mean yes, I don’t think it was organic that they got together and were all cutesy for an episode, but I also don’t imagine the audience would’ve been much happier if nothing had ever been consummated. It was such an abysmal season that I enjoyed the little road trip love story as its own self-contained thing,…

I know I’ll lose my membership card but I never really understand why things like this count in the bad “Bury Your Gays” trope, since Villanelle herself was pretty routinely and sadistically burying gays all by herself. Were Comer and Oh adorable together? Yes. But honestly I felt like this season was so bad that…

Oh, I didn’t even know Pitt needed to get sober! 

I want to know more about the “notorious AA sponsor” part??

Agreed.

Even shared what Denzel said to him about it! Extremely direct addressing!

It felt like there was a promise going in of an exploration of why people were so taken with her. Instead, we got a depiction of people being taken with her with zero interrogation as to why.

I was wondering the same about the timeline and the illness. But given that it was December 3rd, wouldn’t that be a little early? (And isn’t sneezing decisively not a symptom? I don’t really know, I only say that because I was sneezing my head off at one point in mid-2020 and everyone kept telling me it was a good…

Awkwardly

Yes, and particularly: “I’ve never been in that mindset like, ‘Guys are funnier than girls and girls can’t be funny,’”

I’m only three in, but this is better than expected, in a way I find difficult to articulate. Yet here I am posting about it simply because I want the show to get some traction and it seems like the thing to do, I guess?

The read I’m getting is that of course at first she thought it could be made real but it didn’t matter how (because of her extreme arrogance), and that she continued to use deceptive means to buy time until it was actually made real (again, not based on an information she had but just a sense of entitlement, assuming…

I don’t think anything in this show is asking for us to sympathize with Elizabeth Holmes.

I was grateful they didn’t show us, but of course it wasn’t exactly un-painful that they used the extremely, extremely effective manipulation tactic of having the dogs crying at the door.
