Let's go Ben Stiller. This whole show has been a showcase of great storytelling, rich character dynamics, acting, artistic set design, camera movement, music, the whole thing. And this episode brought ALL of that to a new level somehow. It's a cliffhanger for sure, which I can either love or hate. In this case I thought it was perfectly executed. They let it go juuuust long enough to answer burning questions that you are begging them to address, enough to move the story forward in the way a good finale should. When the cut to credits eventually comes, you are satisfied, yet wanting more. And DUDE I want some more!
(Mild spoilers ahead)
The idea to stick with "innie" the whole episode was perfect. I kept expecting it to get cut short and perhaps the innies would go back to work and tell each other what they saw. Instead, things just keep escalating as revelations unfold like wild. I have so many questions that will have me waiting for next season. This episode brings every thread of the story to a boiling point and does it with amazing editing, music, themes, surprisingly funny moments, really intense moments... I could list so many more things. Okay one more, it's another seriously impressive acting turn for Britt Lower and Adam Scott, as they are having to confront the harsh reality of who they are, while also fake conversations with people they don't know, and remain in character as their innie personality. Bravo. Bravo indeed good sirs. All those involved.
