Finally..


...the whole point to this entire season may come together.
This latest episode focuses on Joanie and Joanie is the key to what happened to Alison.
Some people hate a Joanie episode ...but are Noah and Helen and every other side character in current day really all that important?

All I care about is the truth coming out about what happened to Alison.
Or will they leave us with ambiguity?

I'm sort of bored by the Joanie storyline. She is such a sour character. Frankly the only interesting stuff seems to be the technology in 2052.

I'm not sure what the point of this season is other than to show the ramifications from the murder of Alison... even far reaching..and discovering the truth about Alison.
Otherwise what's the point?

If Joshua Jackson hadn't declined another season or if they hadn't killed off Alison then maybe it would've gone a different way.
But that's not what we have.

Are the people bored by this scenario just wanting to watch and see if Helen or Noah end up together or what is it they want to see?

reply

"what's the point?"

Patriarchy, white man bad, white privilege, etc.
And now I guess we can add climate change?

I don't know why I still watch?
Maybe I like to see how far the writers will go to abuse and demean Noah?

Joshua Jackson was smart to get away. His character was probably due for more abuse as well?
Maybe he would have been driving his penis mobile around all season? lol

reply

Maybe ...but not as bad as some other shows...and I'm not one of those that picks and chooses what they want to see about Noah and I'm hoping he ends up ok...
I don't think going to prison for others is another selfish dick move. It's amazing how some people won't give him a break on anything..

And since I've decided to slide into home base on this I am at least hoping for some sort of closure for how Alison really died.

I don’t want to see Helen and Noah get together. I’m rather surprised by that, but she’d be a fool to get back together with him. They have a satisfactory co-parenting relationship. That is all they need.

The Joanie storyline just seems oddly planned out. Why they do through the trouble of casting bi-racial children to play the daughter of Joanie and her husband if they were supposed to be adopted from Senegal? And what is the point not telling the kids they are adopted? Doesn’t everyone tell adopted kids that now? And this is supposed to be in the future?

And gee— if I suspected that someone killed my mother, I would not go on my own to confront him. I’d show all the evidence to the police. But that’s just me.
