I wait until it goes down to the 4 chord after "all that you get."

We always watch credits to the first and last episode of shows. Skip the rest.

Except when the credit song is a banger. So right now, Warrior and Clone High don't get skipped.

Let's see...Cowboy Bebop obviously never got skipped either. Don't skip the Midnight Diner one either, feels essential to the show.
Clone High… RIP. The JFK caricature was great.

On a side note caricature is stupid. Should be spelled like character.
This where I point you to the my post a few posts above that the first two episodes of the Clone High reboot are out and they are solid. Looking forward to the rest.

Damn. The Mothers Day episode of Bob's Burgers, "Amelia", was really well done. Good for them.

The crucial scene was just uncomfortable and the outcome kind of sucked. Tom is a gigantic pos

i thought it was a good episode, and appropriate way to end it. Basically reiterated why each never should have gotten it, and the one who was really most loyal to Logan is the one who got it. And shiv kinda ends up like her mom.

Yeah, I agree with this. Tom sucked enough ass to get it, and there was no Roy legacy/skeletons in the closet for GoJo with him. Plus Tom is easily manipulated. Solid ending imo.

Solid finale. Didn't see that twist coming and Barry's public redemption either.

Solid meh. Sure it subverted expectations but I was left fairly dissatisfied with basically every main character’s conclusion.

Well, for one I would’ve liked to have seen the scene where Shiv changed her mind. It goes from her being pissed at Tom and in with her brothers to suddenly changing her mind. We’re missing a scene here and a swerve for swerve sakes is lazy writing.
But overall, I would’ve liked to have seen one of the kids come out on top, likely at the expense of their relationship with their family. Not because I particularly rooted for any of them, but because I watched a show centered on a family business called succession for 40ish hours only for none of the family to be named the successor. I haven’t been shy about my feelings on this show. It’s been treading water and one note for a while now. I’ve found many of the episodes boring. And with how it ended, it feels like the rest of the series was a waste of time. None of it mattered in the end. They sold it to dude who joined the series with only 12 episodes remaining and we never really got to know all that well. Neat.

Like my opinion on the show as a whole, I’m fully expecting my thoughts on the finale to be unpopular as well. People love this show and it’s just not for me.

I get what you’re saying about Matteson, but think they needed some bridge from logs to the kids that also brought chaos, otherwise it’s just less interesting. And I thought that storyline brought a lot of good stuff to the show.
My feeling on Shiv switching was that it was in the moment. Tom once again **** her over, so her immediate reaction was to go with the bros. But then she’s essentially in the same spot she was with her dad. With Tom in charge, I think she knows she can pull his strings.

I think the lazier writing would’ve been giving the company to one of the kids. None of them deserved it, and the show was about how flawed they were and about how their father (and mother) destroyed them. It’s because of him that he didn’t have a successor.

Different strokes though, which is why tv is fun.

It was interesting to watch the 5 min or so after the credits with the creator/writing team was interesting. They said this show is a tragedy and every time a little bit of hope is shown it gets ripped out. Mrs litt and I watched the episode over two night and in between the viewings she asked what I thought was going happen and I said the kids would screw it up somehow and it would go to Mattson.

I think the ending was the logical culmination to end the series where they did. It wasn’t the feel good outcome but the most logical for the trajectory of the show

We're already at the finale??? I was hoping for a couple more episodes. I didn't realize we hit the end already.

This is good for me, as it decreases the chance of idiots spoiling it online.

Ted Lasso potential Twitter spoiler
The "Ted Lasso" twitter account tweeted that it was he and Beard's last game tonight. I mean we kind of knew that, but that was very direct. Also Nike had a cool commercial about AFC Richmond

I thought it was a good finale and fitting for the show. I didn't really consistently enjoy the journey this season, but the destination definitely delivered.

Lasso finale was pretty good overall 👍
I didn't love that the final scenes were with his kid, even tho it makes sense plotwise. That kid is just the biggest goober. But I digress. Of all the numerous callbacks, I think the subtle Nate "S'wonderful" was my fave. Was a bit surprised they didn't win the whole f***ing thing like they set up, but idk, if it just makes more non-footie fans hate man city, then I support it.
