There are so many ways they can go with Mike. The darkest I guess would be
Phil finding the burnt out remains and not realising it is his brother. But I don't think they'd do that, it basically encourages there being no hope at all.
I do think Phil2 is a goner, if only because his character had grown very stale.
The brother lands on the other side of the world, so they can continue doing cameos without having to worry so much about scheduling conflicts.
Or the twilight zone ending...
Phil's entire storyline is revealed to be a delusion in his brother's head. And the brother is the last man on earth.
Oh god, that's even darker.
EDIT: Thought of one.
Mike eventually finds the
alive in Tuscon signs and the letter to go to Miami. He gets there, only it's actually been 5 years since the virus for Mike unlike the two that we see for Phil and co, and the group has moved on without notice or died.
It's useless to pick apart the the space travel in this series (plus, I know barely anything about the ISS personally). They would not call it "Descent" module, they would refer to it by the spacecraft's actual name, as they do with the Soyuz. It's not like it's an escape pod that came with the space station.
Spoiler'd, just in case.
The sort of tumble they depicted I think would have to be totally un-survivable in reality. Spacecraft have been destroyed in reentry in way better landings. In show terms, I think this might translate to him landing 1) somewhere he has no idea where he is (which I think he already confronted as a possibility) and 2) him being badly injured, which would make his survival all the more trying.
Also the little caterpillar (silk worm? I honestly don't know) might be dead. Mark Miller will be fine though.
Phil though? Yeah, he's dead. Expect a dramatic burial in the next season opener.
Credit where credit is due: they didn't make the Gravity mistake of depicting an astronaut holding on by a tether being the equivalent of falling out of a building or being dragged behind an aircraft. Once you stop, you're pretty much freaking stopped. That's the whole point of being in the same orbit as your object of reference (the space station you desperately want to get on board of).
Phil (man) will die. Brother and worm show up. Worm secures naming rights. Tandy is still Tandy.

So new episodes started out of the blue tonight. I didn't realize the show was back on. They must have finished brining off those episodes of Border Town and got back to their good shows.
That was a cool episode, and the same vibe as some of the early Phil ones, though less on the humor side.
Welcome back, little show!
I submitted an entry to Lego Ideas, and if 10,000 people support me, it'll be turned into an actual Lego set!If you'd like to see and support my submission, follow this link.
Was expecting the boat guy's suit to be breached as well, and for him to die horribly (offscreen). Then Mike, having Tandy's immunity, shrugs, takes off his helmet, and heads for Tuscon. I suppose leaving boat guy alive lets him show up later for added comedy/drama.
The virus would presumably be long dead by now since it apparently wiped out 99% of animal life. Unless the plants can be carriers. Anyone who managed to dodge it should be fine.
Bordertown got bumped to the 7:00 deathslot. Do we know how Cooper Barrett is doing in the ratings? It seems like they're desperately trying to plug it by keeping it in the primo between-Simpsons-and-Family-Guy slot, but i really don't see the appeal.
Pathogens really aren't something most people (myself included) understand well. Bubonic Plague, I think, does not just linger in the air like in the movie Outbreak--but it is transmitted by very small fleas that might still be alive? So it's easy to see how someone would be paranoid if incorrect.
It's also kind of a comedy with comedy science, so who knows how accurate they plan to be.
Though props for at least mentioning once that gas doesn't last forever.

Cooper Barret could be decent if they got rid of the two annoying best friends.

That was fun. The Pedalo-water-trike was just hilarious. And how unlikely an escape pod would hit a cruise ship.

Did it feel like it was very short to anyone else? The credits hit the screen and it only felt like the episode was half over. Maybe I had an aneurysm.

That's been happening to me a lot lately, but because i've been playing Fire Emblem while watching TV.

I felt sad for the boots. Those are some great glittery boots.
I'm curious how they're going to handle this now, I don't want them to kill Sudekis off after all of that, maybe he has time to commit to it? He does films but not like he's constantly on call lately.

Oh my god, those last ten seconds. I choked on my drink.
They must not have expected the show to last beyond one season because this is the third time they're using the 'new guy shows up, Tandy tries to sabotage him' joke.
It was hardly the same thing, the other two showed up and were generally nice and helpful, Mike showed up and set about bringing Phil down, intentionally or not, and Phil isn't starting from a good position already. He belittles, embarrasses, and undermines him, so Phil spurts our two truths to show he isn't this perfect guy. Seemed pretty realistic and in this situation I'm fairly sure Phil is the victim, the whole group were dicks about it, considering Season 2 Phil has been doing his best.

... Tandy punched Mike in the nuts the moment he saw him. And then proceeded to try and tear Mike down because he was explaining his situation (which, yes, happened to include being in space, which is cool. He should lie about that to make Tandy feel better?)
Tandy deserved the Skidmark reveal many times over by that point.
I don't think that Mike is a saint, bou have funny ideas about what qualifies as sabotage.

Phil doing his best has earned their tolerance, but they still think he's a dick.
With this development, though, i'm starting to think that the show is entirely about Phil overcoming all of his immature complexes.

Me watching them dig up the body: "Don't bring it in the hooooouse!"
Tandy is an actual clown now. Never knows when to shut the eff up.
Phil is sooo dead. And then the rest of them, with Carol creating fire hazards everywhere.

The whole "that's not a knife" exchange was another moneyshot for the series as a whole.

The bacon thing was way worse.
One would think that Phil could help fix his potency problem by just not jacking it for a few weeks. I mean, this is Phil, but still.
Phil is dead. You're talking about Tandy.
