They haven’t filmed anything, though.

They paid her off and iced her out of any further compensation for the spinoff.

Good.

It’s actually a lot better. They’ve got actual customer service.

It’s a damn good plan.

I actually seem to recall him doing an apology tour in a fair bit of press when Autopsy of Jane Doe was released. What he did was vile and should’ve ended his career, but he didn’t duck when confronted about it.

Maybe a little of both? Love and eternal suspicion? FWIW Noah Emmerich’s take seems to lean a bit more towards yours in post-finale interviews. He at least says Stan would deal with it and not let it go.

I also guiltily enjoy it, though their accents are ludicrous. Irish was very in at the time.

My take on Stan and Renee is a bit more optimistic - I think his (presumably) getting the info to Moscow and letting P&E go indicates he has begun to see shades of gray. I took his behavior in his last scenes with her to indicate that whether or not Renee is one of them, he loves her and doesn’t want to know.

I was terrified every time he had his eyes on Philip. He should never have looked away from her.

Same. I thought they might blow Stan away until I remembered the scene in the promo with him looking at the sketches. Even then I thought that clip might’ve been filmed as a red herring.

The AVClub has a serious blind spot when it comes to fictional characters who say and do things they don’t like. And it’s not just Roseanne. Brilliant episodes of Sunny in Philadelphia got bad ratings if the show “punched down”. If a show didn’t express the view they wanted to see, it got a terrible grade (the Kimmy…

I don’t agree with everything Alex has to say, but I’m glad he shut down that blatant misquote of the Buzzfeed article with the writers.

Yeah, I’ve heard the argument. I don’t think that’s what they intended to do with the line but it’s how Roseanne’s delivery (and RL context) weighs it. We’ll agree to disagree.

Wish I was dead, thanks

Uff, no

We interpreted that joke differently, but fair enough. I did think it was tin-earned despite what I saw as innocuous intent.
