It’s Burying Your Gays because they teased a relationship for four seasons, had them get together in the last 20 minutes of the episode, and then immediately offed one of them. BYG isn’t just about a queer person dying, it’s about them being killed just as they are finally happy and together with someone who the…

Lol, it’s a petition to have her arrested for crimes against humanity. I think you are taking it too seriously.

Also, Sorry you’re leaving. Fuck G/O, fuck AVClub and the garbage way they treat their writing staff.

I had low expectations for this finale, yet it still managed to disappoint. In an episode where the characters finally get to confront the Big Bad that’s controlled their life for four seasons, there was zero sense of stakes, zero sense of danger or excitement, and unsurprisingly, zero payoff. It felt so rote - Eve is…

And why did Caroline kill her? What was the point? Who was she working for, what did she get out of it, how did she feel about all of it? She went from being an intriguing mystery to being a total mess of a character who did whatever the plot demanded at that moment.

We got pretty close to having Villanelle run off to Scotland and become a lumberjack in episode 7, so it could have been worse I suppose.

The Americans had one of the best finales of all time. I still think about it. And it maintained a consistent quality for six seasons.

It’s almost like they had no fucking idea what they were doing and didn’t care if it made sense.

It is nice when your unrequited crush supportively throws you a knife to murder someone with.

Hard disagree, the next ep is the same slow motion forward momentum on the plot. Not sure how they’re going to wrap it all up with only one more episode to go.

This show makes even less sense than it did last season, and that is quite a feat.

That would be an ending I’d be mildly interested in seeing.

even if it means eating a stew of deformed vegetables instead of the pot pie she’s been craving

Oh, no dispute he’s a fuck-up in the MCU prime universe, he’s just not a complete fuck-up.

The funniest part of this episode for me was the Watcher saying, “Not you, Stark” when he went to fetch Gamora. The whole series is basically, “What If Tony Stark was a complete fuck-up in every universe but one” and it was great.

Just a reminder about how AVClub works:

Yeah I think that’s largely my feeling. I was happy enough with it, and I will watch it if there’s a second season. I think they were still figuring things out this season, and that uncertainty shows.

You prefer it to Loki?

She immediately made Black Widow 1000x better as well. The opening sequence of Captain Carter and Black Widow working together was better than anything they gave Scarlet Johansson to do in the live action movies.

The show as a whole is completely standalone, I don’t think the episodes within that show being connected in some way undoes that.
