I'm the George Clooney

A fun take on a caper, this episode brings leaps in the storyline progression as the ending nears. Loved seeing rager Ravi.

Die die die

Warning: Spoilers
It's almost ending, the show with an almost as charismatic lead as Buffy; funny and charming and smart show. Nobody talks or even watches any-more. That's a shame. Everybody seems too busy with thrash 1980's circle-jerky nostalgia. It's their loss.

One of the greatest aspects of this episode is that it wasn't a simple-minded set-up for the finale: no; it had all the best hallmarks of the series: the cuteness and darkness, the romanticism and the ugliness, the campy fun and the seriousness (am I describing Buffy again?) -- I'll miss this one.

There's nothing much to write.

Oh, the teary Clive hugging his friends goodbye, what a scene! The heist orchestrated by Liv, Raj and Clive was beyond funny. No, it wasn't "rushed". Don't complain.

And crazy extremists will always want conflict, doesn't matter in which side they fall; war war war, always bloody war. I like that the social commentary, although very on the nose, runs under the story and its great characters. Great writing there.

Only one more thing: I really want a very nasty end for Blaine; what an infuriating character; death is too good a fate for him. Die Blaine, die. What he did to Don E. (in the past episode) and what he did in this one: unforgivable.

This was a great episode, setting everything up without compromising the core aesthetic and values of the show.

Show is quite bigoted in its use of cartoonish stereotypes
quallsmastiff1 September 2019
According to the writers, anti-zombie bigots include only hateful blue collar workers and people who are gun owners. Also, apparently, everyone in the South is racist against blacks. It's a shame really. Bigotry is a social problem worthy to be addressed, but the way this show repeatedly uses inaccurate offensive stereotypes of Southern and blue collar people as the go-to "face" of bigotry actually indicates a lack of true social awareness on its part. Social commentary is appropriate when used in an honest way. Simply relying on negative stereotypes of people you haven't taken the time to learn about is lazy, dishonest and unproductive.
