Should he have been kept as a useful idiot
One slight thing that always feels off towards the end is how revered he winds up being with the producers acknowledging his influence.
Would it have been better if he was just kept as a creep who they all humoured because he was bringing them material. And that after everything he did and as low and disturbed lengths that he went to did not get him any further up the ladder, maybe in his own head but not actually.
That line she say's about how Lou is inspiring all of us to be better rang a little unrealistic to me
