CPColin posted:We would have been so pissed to come back from a break to that episode. It's good it aired when it did. Yeah what the hell. I don't get excited for any un-bingeable show anymore except The Good Place, so if there was a multi-week gap and I came back to this, I would have been so disappointed. This was a good pause before the conclusion.

When I first started this show with my girlfriend, I'd heard good things but I'd only really seen Ted Danson's stuff. I was getting frustrated with the show because it seemed like it was taking the premise and doing not much with it outside of some sitcom tropes, just ~in the afterlife~. I told her a few times to go on watching it without me, but she wouldn't. Then when I saw the look on Michael's face in that last episode of the first season... I was hooked. All those lovely tropes made sense now! If I hadn't stuck with it, I would have been so mad. Not a single wasted episode in the entire series. (Maybe the "clip show" memory episode.) I think I'm going to go read some philosophy books!

theflyingexecutive posted:The thing that killed my buzz was the ending... where the cast talked about working on the show. I can’t stand that bullshit, especiallllllllllllly when they have a whole podcast where they feature mainly writers but also many of the other creative roles. Having Mike Schur there but offscreen was such hilarious bullshit. Even wilder that Vicki’s whole character was making fun of actors and how important they think they are to shows. They had like twelve minutes because the episode was long. It was basically a final bow after the curtains drop, nothing more. They have the podcast to celebrate the talent behind the show; right then the majority of the audience just wanted to see the actors again. It looked like they wanted Mike Shur to come up at the end, but the network needed to cut to Law & Order right then.
