My friend Shane said it was like they shit the bed and showed everyone, and I agree completely. The end of the series, after two increasingly-interminable seasons devoid of narrative tension or meaning, told with some of the worst dialogue and ham-handiest editing in recent memory, managed to somehow get Worse and WORSE with every passing minute until the credits rolled.

They set a slow-motion montage of people disintegrating to a discordant cover of “What a Wonderful World,” including a straight-from-fight-club “let’s hold hands while the world burns” shot, and it didn’t mean anything;

they “it was all a dream”ed it, to no end, and it didn’t mean anything;

they made us look at some computer graphics that were BOTH the matrix AND interstellar ON PURPOSE, showed two characters who DON’T KNOW EACH OTHER because they ARE BOTH FROM DIFFERENT WORLDS FROM LIKE AN HOUR AGO look at each other’s child selves through Narnia Time Doors(???? which isn’t a thing at any other point?????) and then learn it was them in their memories AND THEN THEY EVAPORATE BECAUSE THEIR WORLDS DON’T EXIST AND IT DOESN’T MATTER;

they use the WORST biblical Adam & Eve + bullshit German philosophy hodgepodge of symbols to show these two old lovers slash rivals slash aunt and nephew slash they never actually met, sort of reconcile for no reason and it doesn’t matter??????

They said over and over again that it has all happened in an infinite loop and had to be preserved but if the time loop started over catastrophically then there’s LITERALLY NO WAY THEY COULD KNOW THAT BUT IT ALSO DOESN’T MATTER BECAUSE THE SHOW ISN’T ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT TRYING TO PROVE HOW SMART SOMEONE WITH A LATE-90S POP CULTURE EDUCATION IS,

BUT THEY AREN’T!!!

IT’S FUCKING STUPID

THIS ISN’T EVEN 10% OF WHAT I CAN CRITICIZE ABOUT THE SHOW, and it doesn’t matter, because no one can hear me, it isn’t my job, and I just have to put it on the mental shelf with every other “I wanted this to be cool and instead I hate how bad entertainment products are, and how I have no role in improving any of them, and it’s also the stupidest thing to be mad about in our backwards world, and all I wanted was to watch an interesting story that other people said was good and instead I have to wonder what’s wrong with everyone, including me.”

Anyway don’t watch it, thanks
