So I finally watched the last season of GoT and man that one final season’s gonna be kinda bad
Cool setpieces with the dragons though. I guess that’s why the season was cut short

Laura Prepon broke like every single episode and Mila Kunis rarely broke but when she did it was something genuinely hilarious like the whole MICHAEL GET IN THE VAN MICHAEL GET IN THE VAN MICHAEL MICHAEL GET IN THE VAN FINE

The thing they really screwed up was setting the first season in '76.

Yeah, isn't there a Christmas episode in every single one of the 8 seasons of the show that ends on January 1, 1980?

Why’d they break up Jackie and Kelso so abruptly anyway
I mean they had a sweet moment, get engaged and then BAM Kelso leaves for California

Also lmao Eric working as a stock boy at a grocery store and the guy who places coupons in bags of dog food made him enough money to getting seriously close to getting married
And Kitty sabotaging his chance at working in a bank because then he wouldn't go to college and you need college to be successful, the 70's were a different dimension

No I know Eric runs out on her their wedding day but he returns at the end and they’re implied to get back together after Eric’s replacement gets chased out of town or something and WOW that’s gonna be a disastrous relationship

Was it not intentional that they basically acted like an old married couple (ie, their own parents) from jump street? Was that not the joke about their relationship? Because I seriously have always thought that was :thejoke:

Just like how Kelso, the dumbest and most irresponsible motherfucker, becomes a cop, or how Hyde sells out. Everyone becomes what they hated. Because that's exactly what really happened to the Boomers.

Hyde becoming a cop would’ve been him becoming what he hates. I forget how does Hyde sell out

He just settles down and runs a record store instead of actually like going out and living a wild rock and roll lifestyle

Didn't he marry a stripper
Jackie also had a pretty decent ending if I recall. She becomes a strong independent woman who don't need no man and starts dating Fez

Yeah Jackie did okay. I don't remember Hyde's wife being a stripper, all I remember is that she was black and there was an episode where everyone had to say their own version of "not that there's anything wrong with that"

No you’re thinking of Hyde’s halfsister because it turns out Hyde’s actually half black

I mean I understand that the natural conclusion of Eric and Donna’s disastrous relationship is either one of them running away on the wedding eve but still they shouldn’t have gotten back together after that
I do wonder how it would’ve played out if Topher Grace didn’t run off to make movies

Eric's loving unbearable this season, and Blonde Donna's not necessarily a problem (although why on earth would you do that), it's just a sign of the problem

Yes. You can always tell a show is going down the tubes when characters just start having the hair their actors would rather have instead of what fits the character. Hello I'm frumpy overworked single mom doctor *maybelline hair with highlights*.

Apparently Topher Grace didn’t realize until his last goddamn episode he could've worn a wig the entire time

See, season seven of this show completely loving wrecks the conceit that the season is taking place over less than a year because Kelso's baby's mama grew a child and gave birth to it and the child had at least one birthday between seasons six and seven

It's really weird that everyone just kept going over to the Foreman's house, especially after Eric and Hyde move away.

Also how they all start making GBS threads on Eric once Topher Grace sorta kinda made it in Hollywood making it clear he wouldn't return

Again, Fez was completely in the right in thinking that Jackie only wanted to get with him because she was lonely and with no prospects. That had been her entire gimmick for the entire previous 19 episodes

The dynamic of having an evil unhelpful prick on your team that you can't get rid of because you need their skills is a really really strong source of drama, tension and character conflicts, it's amazing this reboot managed to make it dull.

Because her only skill is being manipulative which as far as I know isn’t a skill they need to get off the planet or solve their inter familial conflicts
