Phenotype posted:Is that true, by the way? A few years after a supervirus or zombie apocalypse or whatever, all the old power plants will turn America into a radioactive wasteland?  They did mention the map was from the 80s, but the only plant around LA was at San Onofre (closed 2013), and shouldn't have set off the Geiger counter.

Big Mean Jerk posted:That time skip was such a lazy slap in the face, they really should have devoted at least five loving minutes to an actual resolution for Melissa and Jasper's issues. Helllllll no. The Melissa plot was insufferable, and the kid not talking was already wearing thin. I'm glad they just pulled the ripcord on those, even if it was just being lazy.

I agree because I was tired of the plot device but I wonder why they did it the way they did. They spent sooooo much time on it holy poo poo, did they just realize there was no way out doing it the right way? I loved these last 2 episodes, especially the ending of the finale that was hilarious.

I agree that it was awful, but pulling the ripcord robs you of at least a one-episode b-plot that could have made the past 10+ episodes amount to something. Instead, you have 3/4 of a season with a running plotline that goes nowhere and gets conveniently hand-waved in time for the finale. It makes the whole season worse, because what the gently caress was the point of that plotline in the first place?

They got to such a serious place that they couldn't just go like "OK she got better in like two weeks of being medicated" so it would have hung around into next season. They coulda got the kid talking in an episode but god it would have been a whole episode of Tandy singing him stupid songs or Carol making scrapbooks of famous speakers.

Ardlen posted:If the plants were going to go supercritical, they most likely would have done so immediately. There's no reason for them to be stable for years and then suddenly meltdown. In addition, the map they showed for nuclear plant locations is hilariously inaccurate. Here's where they really are: maybe there was a cat litter factory nearby.

The one thing I thought was a little cute was that when they were evacuating, Todd took the time to vacuum up and label Lewis's ashes. But then I remembered the time skip, and realized everybody had just left his ashes to sit there for seven months  . And the part where Tandy came back with the washcloth, I said 'Oh God, he's gonna be in blackface' (I was like, one degree off). Though I got through this season, I don't know if I got it in me to ever watch it again. I like the other characters, but I'm just getting too increasingly irritated by Tandy and Carol (even if their antics are the 'point' of this show).

I think the problem is that Tandy and Carol are so similar. You can have one of those characters on your show, but not two. Just have Forte scale back his unfunny bullshit, Schaal's better at it anyway.

This show is the only one I watch that makes me feel like I wasted my time. I don't have super high standards, and half the time I'm checking emails or making breakfast while watching it. It still feels like I should be using anything else as background.
