What do you think were Lexi’s intentions with it? Tomi: All right, let’s talk a little more about this play. I was more affected by how this tragedy will forever change Fezco. He was a complicated character, and my feelings reflect that. To be clear, his death is sad and shocking, but it didn’t rip my heart open.
It’s also difficult to be an Ashtray stan considering how he’s callously extinguished enemies and perceived foes throughout the series. He’s a hothead and a literal child who's been raised to be cold-blooded, but offing his character seemed like an easy route to take because he wasn’t one of the main characters. I will say I absolutely LOVED Elliot’s song and hope it’s available to stream ASAPtually.Īshtray’s death felt in line with how his character would go out - with a bang, but it was disappointing in terms of the story. I’m not against characters developing but so many of the changes seemed to happen out of thin air. Also Rue just up and decides to be drug-free for the rest of the year? So much of the writing felt like a retcon of the characters we’ve come to know over the past two seasons. Sure, his dad’s messed up, which in turn rubbed off on him, but are we supposed to forget that he pulled a gun out on Maddy? Cassie’s confrontation at the play with Lexi was too much and the scene kind of dragged a bit. It doesn’t make any sense that he’s suddenly decided to turn over a new leaf without there being any serious reckoning for the things he’s done in the past. What I disliked most were the random ways certain characters just started behaving unlike themselves, Nate being one of the most puzzling. While I was definitely entertained while watching last night’s finale, it was all spectacle. Shannon: I was laughing at all the memes of people skipping over Elliot’s musical interlude, though. The finale had a lot of the worst parts of Euphoria, IMO self-seriousness, dreariness. I found the finale so overwrought: The camera lingering on Fez’s note to Lexi as he’s being dragged away by the cops Nate bringing a loaded gun to tell his dad that the cops are already on his way the random Dominic Fike music video toward the beginning. I could believe that Laurie would just decide pursuing Rue isn’t worth her time, but if I were Rue, I’d certainly be worried either way. Maddy will confront Cassie when it’s the most melodramatic possible moment Rue will just choose to ignore a gigantic plot point. I hate that Sam Levinson, the show’s creator, decides to pick up storylines and put them down at his leisure. What’s annoyed me most of all about this finale: We don’t circle back to Laurie and the missing suitcase. Nate has been careening toward violence all this time - why is he suddenly pulling back? Also - kids beat each other up onstage, and the show goes on? This is a school production, right? Yet we haven’t seen a single faculty member, even when a brawl breaks out? Do the children run this school?īesides Ashtray, the only other thing that really *happens* in this episode is Nate turning his dad over to the cops.
#I hate rue from euphoria full
Lexi’s play did not need to take up two full episodes. If this was a show that cared more about story than about spectacle, she would have ripped her hair out seconds after Rue first mentioned seeing Cassie and Nate together. It’s sooo goofy that Maddy inexplicably waits to beat Cassie up for the finale. But there’s something about that choice that feels a little sloppy and unsatisfying? Somebody did have to die, though, and I guess it makes sense it’d be Ashtray. OK, from the top: I’m really glad they didn’t kill Fez, as a lot of people feared they would. This show really suffers from feeling so obviously *constructed* rather than like the lived reality of real people, living in real time. This might be the point when I have to stop watching.
Shannon: This was the episode another wildly uneven season of Euphoria was supposed to be building toward, and it was such a letdown! I mean, it was so bad.
