Hate to say it, but D&D made the right decision and maintained a holistic vision for the show’s ending. Excellent direction would have been jarring alongside piddle-poor writing.

I mean, the review is not wrong... It’s a shallow episode, with cringey messaging. But I hadn’t actually stopped to think how stupid this all was...because I was having too much fun! I love a good swerve, and this had one: It went from grim to goofy, and to my surprise, I was charmed by the gall of it. Who doesn’t…

That’s the problem! The last two seasons were a rushed mess of major setpeices written by two assholes who were too busy to make their Confederates show and write for Star Wars that they were too lazy to finish the job they had started. The journey these last two seasons sucked.

This is a show I began watching a couple months into Season 1 purely due to acclaim on the AV Club, having passed if off without a second thought when I saw the name elsewhere, finally proving that despite skeptics, this place ain’t too bad. I came for the pop music satire and stayed for the honest mental health…

One of my favorite running jokes was White Josh’s exasperation/indifference to Rebecca, and his utter bafflement at why all his friends were in love with her. The only reason I *kind of* wanted the Rebecca/Darryl kiss to happen was bc I thought it’d be funny to watch WyJo lose his ENTIRE shit.

I watched it live from the very first episode. Hah! Take THAT you Netflix late arrivers! Also, listened to ‘Crazy Ex Girlfans’ podcast faithfully starting with season 1 episode 2, So long everybody.

I think “Rebecca has to be in a relationship with herself” is a misread of what happens. I can see how you’d get there, but it’s not about self-care. It’s that she realizes there’s this part of herself she’s been repressing and devaluing. It’s four or five steps further into the conversation. But to each their own.

Great finale.

Sweet, beautiful, insane Legends of Tomorrow, how I have missed you.

Ugh I was TOTALLY Team Nathaniel until the effing last 30 seconds where Greg pretty much won me over, salmon or no salmon plate damn it! That was a quiet and honest moment. I also find it doubly romantic that the episode was directed by Rachel Bloom’s husband and definitely knows how to showcase his wife. 

Just popping in to say thanks as always for the great discussion. I haven’t always been in the right headspace to wander into any comments section, even one so regularly lovely as this, but with the end creeping up I couldn’t resist. Y’all are terrific. 

David Hull knocked it out the park, for sure.

Greg’s declaration at the end was one sweet punch to the feels.

those last few minutes were so lovely

I thought this episode was much stronger than “Moo Moo”, in part because the characters felt much more comfortable discussing the issue.  In “Moo Moo”, it felt like the characters were tip-toeing around the the issue of racism in the law enforcement profession. Whereas here, Amy and Rosa are confident in their…

Briga Heelan is perfect in everything. I hope she gets another show.

I say again: We are watching completely different shows.

As I was heading to bed last night after watching an episode of The Punisher, Netflix insistently played the preview clip for this show, unsolicited. Usually, that would annoy me, but I sat through the clip every time it played, and it intrigued me.

God I love the “Hedgehog Day” episode of Legends of Tomorrow. I especially love that all Zari has to do to explain her situation to nerd Nate is say “Groundhog Day,” and he understands that she is stuck in a time loop (to her amazement--she has never heard of the movie in her dystopian future timeline, but as he knew…

I don’t think I could skillfully express why, but that final line reading of “Take my heart when you go” shocked some honest emotion out of me. I teared up just a little bit.
