re: New series - The Last Man on Earth

maybe they figured that if they went back there'd be problems. First, with people being upset that Phil is back and possibly there being a major struggle between new phil and tandyman. Second, when people realize that carol is leaving (and everyone loves carol) they may try to convince them to stay. For the purposes of them starting a new life together, it probably was in the best interest to just leave right there.

I wonder how far they'll go? The country is pretty much their oyster at this point, and it would almost be impossible for the others to find them if they didn't want to be found. I also wonder if they'll end up getting married again but this time do it "for real", like phil has bought into it.

I was kinda suprised that he actually had a song to sing to Carol

I still couldn't tell if that was in earnest or if he just miraculously pulled it out of his arse, because it didn't rhyme.

I would kinda be surprised if he made it up on the spot, he has not been shown as the kind of person to be very good at that, making up ridiculous stories as he is put in awkward situations

Sudakis is going to take this series to the next level

Eh, I'm not a huge fan. But then again, I wans't a huge Forte fan, but this series has been awesome so far.

Props to the writers on long playing the story. I wish (pretty much like everybody) that they hadn't painted Phil.0 into such a shallow, emasculated corner - but the slow roll of suprises kept me watching.

What looked like a hard concept to keep fresh for four weeks now seems pretty wide open.

Knowing these two, their next stop will be friggin Alaska, because Carol "always wanted to go there".

They should go to Beverly Hills or Malibu.

I'm wondering if the second season won't involve Tandy and Carol setting up shop in a new city and meeting new survivors. Or maybe astronaut Miller crashing to earth in an escape capsule and fighting with Tandy over Carol's affections.

There was a pretty interesting interview with the show's creators last week. They were saying it hadn't been determined yet how many episodes would be in the second season, or when it would come back....that there was some talk Fox may bring it back for the fall to capitalize on the buzz the show is getting.

They have the opportunity to open things up now with at least 3 locations going at once. Jump back and forth with 3 story lines going in 3 distinct locations. That's a plus and that's what they should do, not just stay in one desert town. Now you have the cul-de-sac, the couple venturing into the vast unknown and the situation in outer space. Very clever.

This gives the show some legs. Otherwise, I think it's cancelled. Let's face it, the show, with it's current ratings, is on the line to not be renewed. Plus, they have it up in a time spot that is nearly a death sentence once GOT begins. They should move it to a better time slot and the writers should show the brilliance they displayed with the initial idea, coupled with the closing sequence of events.

I have not been a fan of the overdoing the boy vs. girl thing at the cost of all the other possibilities of pure comedy that exists in this new world. Sure, keep the friction stuff, but come on, there's so much more. Plus, we all know this is not how it would have played out in the first place if there were just a couple people of other sexes left on the planet. So, stop with the G-rated relationship garbage and go for the comedic gold that's awaiting them all over the world, actually.

They seem to be finally going in that direction. Was it too late?
