I really don't know how I feel about the way The Umbrella Academy ended.

With you on that.

I don't hate the ending but I'm not really happy with it. I can see why it seemed like a good idea in the abstract and it's not in any way badly executed but it's just not viscerally satisfying to me. Even so, I think it's , I don't know, sweet?

I do kinda want to watch the whole thing from the beginning in a giant binge and see if that makes a difference. Maybe someday.

What I mostly wanted from this season was to spend more time with these characters I'm so fond of, and I'm not at all disappointed with that aspect!

Also, it struck me as entirely hilarious that Bennifer = DOOM just as a celebrity gossip joke

just as a celebrity gossip joke

Benifer (Bennefer? whatever) was DOOM in every timeline! That was pretty hilarious. I also deeply love the hilarity of Luther's (and then Diego's) tearaway clothing. Definitely Chekhov's gun.

I also love love LOVED the confirmation from the scene in the park at the end that Agnes and Hazel were meant to be together.

I would have appreciated more episodes, since this season was so freaking short. I feel like it would have (maybe) been able to fill out some plot holes and give us more character beats.

I watched, but have to watch again with Brendon so we'll see how I feel then. Mixed feelings.

More episodes would have been good!

Thanks for confirming that was Agnes and Hazel. I thought so, but I was distracted by a lot of feels at that point

Thanks for confirming that was

Tim was the one who caught them. I did see Grace with the baby carriage, the Handler with dark hair out for a jog, the Swedes randomly playing frisbee, and Herb and Dot (from the Commission) at a picnic table.

I 100% do not understand how Claire and all of Diego and Lila's kids still exist after the reset, because the whole point was that all of the Umbrellas were being erased from history and would never have existed, and therefore wouldn't have been able to have kids (among other things that nonexistent people can't do). I'm wondering if maybe there was a loophole because Diego and Lila's family, along with Claire, were down in the weird-ass subway station when the reset happened. Or maybe we're just not supposed to think about it too hard.

It's totally because they were in the subway. I feel very certain, for some reason. And I'm real curious about what happened to the cafe.

I was doing a lot of "...is that? Somebody familiar? Can't quite place..."

The actual marigolds made for a lovely image.

One of the things I'm most mad about from S4 of Umbrella Academy: goddamn Baby Shark. Because man, that gets stuck in my head FOREVER.

HAHAHAHA

I think that's the first time I've actually heard the original version, or at least so many verses of it

I was aware of Baby Shark but hadn't really heard it before.
