DC Murderverse posted:PAUL IS AN MRA THIS IS NOT A DRILL PAUL IS AN MRA Vernon is almost definitely the best on the show. I'm still not really sure how I feel about this season. I don't really see there being a future with Boone anyway, because he's got a daughter. Jimmy might finally be starting to realize a little that it's time to grow up, too, but I don't know.

DC Murderverse posted:normally I'd agree with you, but the absolutely vicious way Boone dealt with his ex's new husband makes me think he and Gretchen might be perfect for one another. Very true. I've been waiting for the other shoe to drop, but that may not happen. There are so many things that seem like they could go either way on this show. Boone's horrified reactions to Gretchen's blowup over his "wife" are hilarious in hindsight, though.

DC Murderverse posted:The AV Club review really makes a great point of this: the characters on this show are kinda growing away from each other. Obviously Lindsey and Edgar are slowly getting to the point where they're better friends with each other than they were/are with Gretchen and Jimmy, and those two are both exploring new avenues of their lives that will definitely not lead them back to each other. I can't (and don't want to) see a finale that blows everything up and returns to the status quo, and honestly if the show were to end after this season, with Gretch and Boone being rear end in a top hat gently caress buddies and Gretchen learning to care for a child, Jimmy fully giving into the erotica writing community and becoming a sad lonely man who fucks any lonely 43 year old woman who likes his writing, and Lindsey and Edgar living together as successful people with progressing careers, I'd be perfectly OK with that. Sometimes relationships aren't the ones that last forever. Jimmy is either going to have to change or end up unhappy though; I can't see him getting a happy ending without making a massive change to who he is as a person. That's a really tough balance to pull off. You don't want to stagnate because the show gets way too repetitive (and you could say that it maybe was doing that already last season) but if you too radically alter the central core of the show you can alienate your audience. I'm not saying that'll happen, since I'm not sure it's that kind of show. I think what they've got is worth continuing to watch, and I'm curious to see which way it goes. Jimmy absolutely cannot keep things as they are currently. Maybe his going to that poorly-named conference is part of that, because it used to represent a genre he thought was beneath him.
