I've literally never been that shocked and excited and thrilled by a season finale twist ever, not even by LOST.
SO AWESOME.
SO AWESOME.

Thought it was a pretty decent finale but only because the last five minutes saved it. You had the heart warming moments with Carol when everyone else had abandoned original Phil and then the space station brother twist. It was devoid of laughs however. I barely smiled. Found previous episodes to be much funnier. I did however enjoy it overall because the producers had the balls to hit the reset button. Makes me excited for the potential of season two. It should have a fresh cast now which I think will revive the show somewhat.
Glad I stuck with the show though. It was an entertaining ride.

The marriage talk I kind of laughed at but the ending... I want his brother to show up in Tucson, obviously he's the smart one and whatever so at least some time spent on that before he goes searching for Phil could be gold.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
I kind of wish that Phil's brother, regardless of whom he was played by, had a perm.
Here's a new, post-finale Q&A with Phil Lord and Chris Miller (executive producers)

Overall I give the season a B- or C+. I think some things went on too long (the whole trying to get with Melissa plot), and some of the characters really underdeveloped but overall it was decent. I know I'm supposed to feel sorry for Tandy, but I really don't. But I guess that's the point with the ending. He's just as pathetic and sad as the first episode. Actually probably worse since he screwed everything up with the group.
Carol's line to him about the kind of guy she would want to be with was probably my favorite line of the episode. She really is the positive opposite to him.
Looking forward to where they take Season 2.

This show is the only show that could ever pull off a character being renamed to Tandy. It's so effortless, and so goddamn funny.

I dont know why but I really hated the second Phil as soon as he came into the game. I mean he can do everything, but isnt even humble about that and enjoys getting praised for everything.
Some things I thought about the last episode:
Some things I thought about the last episode:
Todd knew Phil 2 will do that to Phil 1, didnt he? I mean he looked at Phil 1 with guilt in his eyes just moments before he was tackled by Phil 2.
And while Phil 1 was a big asshole in almost every episode I felt bad for him and really started to despise Phil 2 even though he didnt really do anything wrong.

Todd didn't even know he was getting left to die by original Phil. I doubt he read that far into the how others would react with him speaking out, he was just tired of being so spiteful of New Phil for the past couple episodes which isn't Todd's character at all.
I actually liked the show from start to finish. There was some slow parts here and there, but I laughed in every episode. I guess I just like this type of humor. I don't understand what the hate with the show is about. Yeah, Tandy is an asshole, but seeing him dig himself deeper and deeper into situations is pretty entertaining. I ended up binge watching it, so maybe watching it in one set is a better viewing experience than spreading it out over the course of the season.

I don't know man, Tandy has planned to kill two of the 7 known survivors of the apocalypse and has twice mislead people about the existence of others as well. That's a danger you can't really afford to keep around. Now, I think New Phil could have taken Tandy all the way to the next town instead of leaving him in the dessert, or even better, they should all have left Tandy alone in Tucson (Phil was absolutely right about it being the worst place to try and rebuild society), so that was kind of a dick move. But really, I can't fault the guy for just trying to keep everyone safe.
And I love this show and can't wait to see how Phil's

I thought the show was great overall. I liked the frequent twists and timing of the new characters coming in. I thought him being all over Melissa lasted a bit too long, but the do over episode brought back pacing I liked.
I do wish they spent more time exposing the flaws of the other characters. New Phil making all the women scheme for sex and Todd getting jealous was nice and satisfying to see after seeing phil get jacked at every turn. New Phil actually leaving someone behind with no car and tiny supplies was also cold blooded and flawed in its own way. Carol, the only character whose flaws were exposed in depth, having the heart to go back to Phil was a nice touch. And it's a relationship that will be interesting to see in the next season.
Good shit overall. Very unique show.

Haha yes, felt kinda like Poor Decisions but softened just a bit for the network audience. Exactly why I'll keep up with it for seasons, because even when the first season wasn't great it was at least attempting novelty in characterization.

What? Are they ditching the rest of the Tucson survivors?
That was the big ending in the season 1 finale, yeah. though I kinda expect them to return to Tucson at some point

I could've done without Carol too but she picked him up... Hopefully Phil is less of a dick.
How's Phil's brother going to make it back to Earth?
