Eve Polastri as anything but a lovesick fool or a day-drinking, foul-tempered loser who occasionally wanders into the frame to dump some exposition before we get back to Villanelle’s designer duds to dispense death in.

I am more interested in a show being of highest quality and most entertaining, not necessarily being a “star vehicle”. I just think it’s working much better since we have more of everyone else and less Eve and her issues. I never found Oh and her character to be all that compelling, at least as it was handled in the pr

- “Get her working...without this extracurricular crap.” - excuse me!? So this what VillaneEve is to you, hot lady from The 12?

“thot” is an anti-woman term, just wanted to get that out there.

I get along quite well with my partner’s aunt, and we both quite enjoy spending time with her. The problem is, sometimes she invites us round and only once we get there do we find out she’s invited some of her other friends that we don’t get along with. Basically, you’ve got to let people know what kind of situation

Maybe not rude but inconsiderate for sure. And asking Molly if she’s ok with it....what else is she going to say but yes? If I’m meeting a friend, taking time and making the effort to be somewhere (when not going anywhere is wildly preferred), a surprise guest sucks.  

I have a friend who almost always wanted to include others in our plans, without asking me first. I had to tell her ahead of time when I wanted our plans to just eb the two of us. Luckily, she caught onto that and learned to ask first, btu when she didn’t it was always awkward and a bit painful, as if my company wasn’t

It’s pretty rude. Not aggressively rude, but passively. I’ve had plans with friends for dinner, lunch or some other activity, and then when I get there my friend has brought their partner/other friends. I did not make plans to hang with your partner or other friends; if you asked me ahead of time, I would have either

Eureka is RIGHT THERE and SHANGELA is the one you have a problem with??

Like most American series this show got a bloated at the end. The bit with the other people could have been 2 or 3 episodes total and they’d have a great, tight final season that ranks with the first. Season 3 was also a few episodes too long.

But in the end, that’s fine. The overall arc of the show much of that was

my take on the show is basically exactly the same as yours.

There was such a general drop of quality after the first two seasons. Having most of a season happen on earth was I think a big mis-step.
But this was an excellent finale, though not an all-time great finale. But it will keep the shows reputation high

Thinking more about it, David Sims summed it up pretty well on Twitter the other day:

Yeah, all the energy and wit seemed like it dried up after the Season 2 finale. Seasons 3 and 4 aren’t bad, but the reason I’m so harsh on them is because I know what the show is capable of. 

I agree. The series ended with personal annihilation, and trying to say that’s a good thing.

Of course it’s depressing!

You and I are very similar. I think it dropped in quality starting from the season 2 finale, and that the last two seasons were kinda bad, but in the end I really liked this finale.

As for how The Good Place stacks up overall, I think it’s first two years were great, and its final two significantly weaker, even considering this excellent finale. In particular, almost the entire final season felt pretty inessential. I just did season rankings and favorite episodes for Arrow, and I’m in the mood,

At a certain age I found myself just not wanting to watch things that are depressing.  All the characters kill themselves?  Hitting the ol’ Delete button on the DVR.

I’m always seeing this idea that eternity would get boring, and I just don’t get it. As long as human civilization keeps rolling, there’s always new material for the book club. There’s always a new Netflix series to binge. There’s always new film and music and videogames; always an ever-evolving marketplace of ideas;

It's all about about what they were doing at the time. Although I mean no disrespect, I disagree with the author on a bunch of points. For example: one of the biggest impacts that Scream had was that it killed nudity in horror films for a very long time. It's still nowhere near as semi-mandatory as it used to be.
