[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ugh. I sorta hated the finale. 
I didn't love the villifying of Jon Hamm's character, which I thought was too simplistic. The real time snooping of her text message to Bradley was laughably insane. I was sad that they broke up.

I hate the idea of a merger with the other network, and there's no way they could have cooked that up that quickly.

What is going to happen to Bradley and her brother? The only realistic scenario, given the real-life sentences being handed down to Jan 6 criminals - is real jail time. In some ways, what Bradley did was worse than her brother.[/quote]

Agree with this, though I didn't mind the vilification of Jon Hamm's character as I felt it was somewhat earned over the course of the season and that he did a good job selling it. Agree the solution of the merger with the other network felt really sloppy and unrealistic.

The episode mostly just felt lazy and didn't do much to resolve things. I found all the focus on Alex realizing Paul wasn't who she thought she was, and then organizing this coup, too overwrought. She's been dating this guy for like a month. It made her look incredibly dumb to be in so deep with him in such a short amount of time, and to be so convinced that he was a good guy who would never screw her over despite the fact that he rapidly progressed from "I'm going to buy UBA and do great things with it" to "I'm going to buy UBA and then sell it for parts to save my struggling rocket business." She just looks idiotic for ever believing him, so her about face in the finale isn't satisfying at all. And her whole speech about how what changed her mind is learning he'd "silenced a journalist" because "I'm a journalist." This felt like farce -- she didn't care about being a journalist when everyone was rightfully questioning her objectivity in the last couple episodes.

I did find the whole thing with Chip going on air to reveal what was happening with the deal funny, even though it was also ridiculous and incredibly unrealistic (no way they would just keep rolling without cutting to commercial with all those F-bombs, at that point you are risking a lot more than a regular FTC fine, you are risking lawsuits and boycotts and career destruction). But I really enjoy Duplass and it was fun to see him let loose with that even if plot wise, it was really silly.

Agree the Bradley/Hal thing was not resolved at all and I don't get what happened at all. Are they coming back for a 5th season? Will Reese still be on the show? It seems like her journalism career is over.[/quote]
