Considering how much Ted and Alexis had been through and loved each other, 3 years doesn't seem insurmountable. Especially since the other characters got fairy tale endings. |
| I always got the feeling Alexis loved Ted, but wasn't IN LOVE with him |
| Loved the Ted and Alexis ending. Sometimes love isnât enough, timing and circumstances play their part. Alexis wasnât ready to follow him around, nor should she have to. She has options and needs to start her independent adult life. |
Nobody suggested she should follow him. It would have been easy for them to bring Ted back for the finale to propose and follow her to nyc. Now that I think about it, I think itâs selfish of Daniel Levy to not give Alexis a happy ending. He clearly wanted the limelight. He gave his real life sister (the actress who played Twyla) a randomly unnecessary happy ending. |
Shrug. I think Alexis did get a happy ending. |
| Thereâs a SC documentary on Netflix and itâs super cute! |
PP here and watch the documentary. They talk about Alexis and that scene. Everyone was crying while they filmed it. It WAS a happy ending. |
| We started watching this yesterday and are approaching season 3. I am obsessed and I usually hate sitcoms. |
But they just didn't love each other like that. They were deeply affectionate, had great sex - and wanted different things. I think they had the exact right happy ending for their characters. |
I never really believed their relationship. Didnât seem very ârealâ. |
Yeah - I believed their relationship but it didn't seem like a forever relationship. It seemed like a mix of lust and companionship, and helping each other evolve and grow. But then that sent them in different paths. Also Ted got really hot around season 3 (I think? Matbe 4) and so I believe the lust part. |
| Just started watching this show. I keep getting super distracted by Alexisâ teeth and wondering why, if they were so rich, she didnât have braces? |
Get over yourself. Itâs only America thatâs truly obsessed with straight, white teeth. Sheâs Canadian and her family is Canadian. Annie Murphy is stinking gorgeous and super talented. Your distraction is unwarranted. Want straight white teeth? Go watch American TV. |
Goodness, of course the actress is gorgeous and talented. Iâm referring to how weâre supposed to think of the character Alexis at the beginning - that sheâs shallow and appearance-focused and as a teenager would have cared about things like having her teeth straightened, as every other teenager in her socioeconomic set was also doing, Canadian or American. Iâm not talking about real life, Iâm saying it slightly disrupts my suspension of disbelief in watching the show. Which I just started season 2 of, so still have a lot left to watch, but Iâm really enjoying it. |

Iâm watching the series for the first time. Iâm almost done with season 3. Itâs kind of tiresome. Itâs the same thing over and over:
Some kind of discussion that sounds like people are talking about sex. Alexis misunderstanding something and acting dumb. The son (who I really liked initially as an actor) is the same old, same old. |
