Thanks, I hate it
I am aware the show got cancelled and they wanted to wrap it up, but why in the name of God did they open up a thousand new conflicts? Ryan and Taylor, Seth and Summer, Julie and Frank, all of them are all of a sudden estranged for whatever reason. All of them had satisfying character arcs until this point and now they start to have new ones that they have to hastily resolve within one final episode. And don't even get me started on their characterisation. Summer telling Julie she felt a little too comfortable in her relationship with Seth with Julie replying: "I wouldn't know" doesn't make any sense. She was married to Jimmy for what? 15 years? And she got very comfortable towards the end of their marriage, not even wanting to hear about his problems. This episode was written by the shows creator and honestly it has jarring parallels to the ending of game of thrones. Character don't act like themselves all of a sudden, rushed ending, unnecessary conflict, all written by the same people who started the show. I still love the overall show and as a teenager I watched it several times, but for reasons I now completely understand, I couldn't remember the ending. There were so many memorable moments throughout the show that I was eagerly awaiting but this episode I hardly remember. Apparently it is just extremely forgettable and doesn't seem connected to the rest of the show. Like a dream that doesn't make sense which makes it hard to remember it after you wake up. I can live with this ending, but it could have been a lot better.
