This is the quickest I've gone from "must watch" to "why am I watching this?". And it's not even about Phil being a douchebag. Always Sunny has some of the most horrible characters in TV history, and it's absolutely hilarious...

I think I can deal with Phil's dark shenanigans for one reason: they are not paying off for him in the least, and it seems the harder he tries, the worse off he is. Nobody is falling for it. Well, maybe Todd, but Todd is also the kind of person who would never let on that he knows what Phil is up to because doing so would be rude. And that's dishonest of Todd. Phil's comments about not being able to trust the fats is making more sense now. It is starting to wear a little thin, though. I do like that Carol is just as manipulative. Whether he likes it or not, Phil's soulmate is Carol. How are they going to get that cow downstairs? They'll have to at some point. And I guess we have our answer about why there are no animals anywhere: someone said "I thought I'd never see an animal again," so apparently, animals didn't fare so well during the virus.

I'm still enjoying the show but I don't like the turn it's taken the last couple of episodes. I really thought after Phil and Melissa had that chat where he was honest with her things would change a bit this week, but it didn't. I love the Todd/Melissa relationship and it's 100 times more interesting than Phil and Carol right now. They need to mix things up somehow next week.

Something about these last two episodes that weren't as insufferable and deplorable as "SLEAZY MANIPULATIVE PHIL WANTS TO BONE MELISSA BADLY," because it's not about who gets to have sex with who anymore, but there is still a lot of that want for Phil to move the gently caress on, already with his "If I can't have Melissa, neither can Todd!" goony-goon attitude and start treating Carol just a little bit better (who I feel has been underused as of late). At least he cleaned up his poop pool. You Are A Werewolf fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Mar 30, 2015 |

You Are A Elf posted:At least he cleaned up his poop pool. About that. How, exactly, did he clean the poop pool? It's not like skimming the leaves would do it, and it would take a massive amount of chlorine to both shock the water enough to kill the microbes contributing to the stench and counteract the ammonia buildup. Of course, chloramine would be produced, and that is a good disinfectant. It kills bacteria, fungus, and humans fairly well. If he's been using that toilet pool a lot, and he has, then he'd have a cloud of deadly gas to contend with. And even if the wind was blowing and it dissipated the gas before it did anyone any harm, doing all of that wouldn't get rid of the turds. Assuming they were being broken down by the microbes in the open pit sewer, now he's stopped that action temporarily. I'm not sure that's going to be a stink-free situation, and the turds wouldn't still be solid enough to grab with the skimmers. At least, that's what I would post here if I were prone to such bouts of arbitrary skepticism.

Not sure if I agree with those thinking it's a good thing Phil 'decided' to not leave Todd out in the desert. He didn't do it because he had a sudden crisis of conscience, he did it because he knew he realized he couldn't explain it away. Melissa isn't buying his bullshit anymore, and the way I read Todd offering to let Phil take credit for finding the cow is because he's starting to realize Phil's a sociopath, and maybe hopes if he's *nicer* to him, that maybe he won't murder him in his sleep once he gets the balls for it. Again, this is like watching a televised sitcom of Chris-Chan post-apocalypse. The only difference is the "Voting Board" would have pictures of Sonichu all over it.

This season can only end with Phil waking up and Carol, Melissa, and Todd have left because they're sick of his poo poo, so it goes back to him being the "last" man on earth for season 2.

The weird focus on sex put me off in the first few episodes of this show that I watched. It feels like a super lazy thing to go, "well, obviously, your main emotion after years of despair and isolation would be a pinpoint-focused lust for boning". That's not all there is to Phil's character but it feels like a lazy caricature that it's such a primary motivation for him. A desire for romance and companionship, even, would be more relateable than just "gotta get my bone on!"

When you think about it, he's done a terrible loving thing by encouraging people to go somewhere where arable land and water is scarce and completely non-viable most of the year, all because he's a lazy manchild who couldn't be bothered to move somewhere more suitable with near-infinite resources available to him. For instance, if you think you're the last person on earth, why *wouldn't* you go to Washington DC and live in the White House? That sounds like a pretty god damned decent place you might expect any *living* Americans to head for. I know if *I* were in this situation I'd get the gently caress over to Potomac, MD. Plenty of gigantic mansions and open spaces on golf courses to dig up and start farming. Oh yeah, and a nearby *river* far enough upstream to not have to worry as much about the muck and poo poo that collects around the city.

Yeah, I mean, if you're going to call a show "The Last Man on Earth," you don't introduce another guy so loving early in the run. Though when you think about it, *Todd* is the last *man* on Earth, because Phil's a loving manchild.

I would live near a mega mall or walmart since it will have most of the resource for the next 10 years. Living in a climate that's less like to catch disease is more important. That, or keep traveling until I find other people since that's the most pressing thing for the survival of human kind. This show is so ignorant of other post apocalyptic scenarios I feel like I am wasting my time to discuss what would real people do.

I DVR this and watch it an hour later so I can skip through Phil's temper tantrums, which take up 10 minutes of each episode. gently caress this show, but I'll probably watch it till the end. What a wasted opportunity.

The show is suffering from the premise, and better writers could make a spoiled, angry manchild furious that someone else is alive a better story, but this show still has potential. The episode titles for the rest of the season say a lot about the direction of the show, and I'm hoping it picks up.

This is the sort of thing I read when I first heard about the show:quote:We've been adamant about keeping the various twists and turns a secret," Miller says, "but we can say that there's a revelation at the end of each of the 13 episodes, and that it's genuine serial storytelling, which we're excited about sharing with people." "And just because Phil has company," Lord adds, "doesn't mean that he won't continue to do dumb poo poo like throw bowling balls at fish tanks. That's always going to be a constant. I can safely say that the twists and turns I was expecting have not appeared. Based on the genius first episode I was expecting a truly original show but it has totally devolved into bullshit relationship crap that happens to be set in a world without most people.

Cows survived for ages without humans, it probably just be in pain from its udders swelling. Surely its body would break down the milk eventually.

If I remember anything about cows correctly, then yes they can get infected etc if not milked regularly. It's also puzzling why nobody remembered powdered milk was a thing. Which either means someone is going to come looking for their cow, or as I assumed, the writers just don't give a gently caress (fair enough).

So much absolutely weird poo poo has happened to Phil since the end of the first episode that I am wondering if we are seeing his future-life flashing before his eyes as he is hurtling through the windshield of his truck because he is actually still killing himself running into that rock. Even in his fantasies he is a loser who isn't getting the hot girl. That would make him still be "the last man on earth" if this is all a pre-death fantasy. He'll survive, and S2 will start over again.
