the last man on earth midseason finale
that was the bleakest sad-song montage in a series full of them
that was also the bleakest goddamn episode they’ve probably ever done. if we’re meant to take the ending at face value, holy shit. :(
a few more things:
Some very smart person on AV Club pointed out that Tandy’s behaviour lines up with the symptoms of mania, and has done for some time. Meanwhile Melissa is disassociating to the point of almost getting herself killed, Carol is the most depressed we’ve ever seen her, and when Pat inevitably comes back presumably he’ll still be paranoid. This series is going HARD on the mental health issues, and it hasn’t always done them perfectly but damn. Despite all the jokes and stuff, it seems a very realistic (in some ways) depiction of what people would actually be like at the end of the world.
I don’t know what’s going to happen with the aeroplane plot, but I sort of hope Lewis will attempt to fly to Tokyo, fail (he hasn’t exactly had much practice) but find another survivor or two along the way.
ERICA STILL HAS NOTHING TO DO, though the baby seems to be starting to show now? She was at least a month or two ahead of Carol, surely…
