Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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

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

Our wings are not tired.

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

Rebel Ridge on Netflix is yet another movie that makes me sad that ita wasn’t around to see it.

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Just finished Umbrella Academy. I agree that it's a fitting end but not entirely satisfying. I think I will consider it an AU ending.

Though honestly, I think I liked the versions of these characters from S1 better than any subsequent season.

Hm, I would need to rewatch the whole thing to decide that. Which I kinda want to do anyway. But I loved season 2 the most, I think? Which may or may not mean I prefer those versions of the characters. Hmm.
