No, this is Patrick.
freaking hilarious
that season 5 of The Americans heads itself off with a full 5 minute montage of people digging a hole

Hey that show is good
I really enjoyed it. It's a departure from the books in many ways but that's to be expected. The girl that plays Amy is really good and Mark-Paul was a good choice for the role.
I'm thinking this show will do the book justice and that makes me happy
That ending.
Am I Scully?

Applegate also has a trans daughter who she's outspokenly supportive of while Rowling's a TERF so fuck off, wizard lady, shapeshifting four-eyed centaur lady is our new god.
It is! Linked here for posterity:

in other news I just watched the last episode of King of the Hill
it's such a nice love letter to the fans
I find it pretty lame, actually. It's a terrible way to address children, and isn't, as she says "respectful". It's disdainful, actually.
I get where she's coming from, and if it was a story for adults I'd 100% agree
But imagine if like, Steven Universe ends with half the cast dying and Rebecca sugar says "suck it up its a war story"
like... YEAH, it is, but there are certain expectations from a child audience and they're not being assholes for being upset
Steven Universe is a great example, or Adventure Time (which did have a sort of melancholy ending, but was in general much happier and more satisfying)
Animorphs is extremely dark in tone throughout. The ending isn't out of left field at all.
Another has them trap a boy in the body of a mouse because he was too dangerous to let go free.
It's dark as fuck.
They’re free now!
Alright then! I'm out of excuses!

I dunno, I'm generally down on stories that are grim and sad for the sake of it. And I don't think Animorphs is one of those series, and reaching the end was probably a real formative experience for me.
The weird thing about King Of The Hill is there are two series finales, because they thought the show was ending, but then it got brought back for another season
So there's the finale where Luanne and Lucky get married (which is why every single supporting character shows up for their wedding, even Junichiro Hill), and the ACTUAL finale, where Bobby learns he loves grilling, which is comparatively a very small episode
But it works out for the best, because, while Luanne's wedding is very sweet, and would've been a perfectly good finale, having the final episode be focused just on Bobby and Hank, with the series ending on the two of them sharing just this tiny piece of common ground at long last, is just the right call
Kids watch Steven Universe?
Despite their best efforts yes.
I like that letter a lot. It's a powerful defense of art-as-moral-stance.
I've previously gone to the mat for the Mockingjay, because I dig that kind of, "PTSD is a real thing, and horrific stories don't get easy happy endings" vibe. It was an unpopular opinion!
I feel like as we move further and further away from release, and the hype of "this is the conclusion to a wildly popular YA franchise," Mockingjay is going to get a much better rep. Because it's not out of line with what happens in the first two, and it never really forgets what everything costs.
But I'm the guy whose favorite part of the last Harry Potter book is when they're endlessly wandering through the countryside, so I might not be the best judge
