Last Man on Earth; season 4 (open spoilers)

Heads up; Last Man on Earth comes back tonight on Fox for season 4. When last we saw the gang they were fleeing a have of nuclear power plant meltdowns, found a yacht, Pat caught up with them, Pamela met up with the group and promptly killed Pat.

Not so promptly as we thought, it turns out. :slight_smile:

Hilarious cameo.

That’s gotta set some sort of record for shortest cameo.

Probably was. Though this show has now had 3 really short ones. The Will Ferrell (Season 2) and Jon Hamm (Season 3) ones were both quick ones also.

The show is weird, I am always unsure if I want to continue watching and thus far I always seem to edge over to yes, I’ll give it 2 more episodes.

Well I was wrong about Pamela having yachting skills, but at least she found her dog. And can turn breast milk into White Russians.

I lost track of this show about a season and a half ago. On Demand isn’t free so I’m not going to catch up. Saw about half of this episode in a bar with the sound off:

Who is Pamela…what’s her story?
Who is Pat…what’s his/her story?
Where did the little black kid come from?

Well it’s a shame to see Pamela go (though I wasn’t really expecting Kristen Wiig to join the main cast). Also Glen’s been alone since before the Virus, but it didn’t occur to anybody that might not be immune and will just end up getting sick later like Mike did.

Pamela hid out alone (except for her dog) in a bunker for millionaires for years, found the group when the bunker sent out an automated drone looking for survivors. Before Pamela herself appeared the drone found the group and was shot down by Melissa.

Pat was a crazed survivalist type who lived on a sailboat and would only go ashore while wearing a blue hazmat suit with oxygen supply. He rescued Tandy’s brother Mike and after a series of violent delusion-driven encounters, was run over by the group’s van and left for dead. He reappeared to menace the group and was promptly shot dead by Pamela, making her first appearance, who’d spent some time with him beforehand.

The black kid was wandering about on the periphery of the group’s territory for a time, wearing various scavenged Halloween costumes (when they first spotted him, he was dressed as Yoda). The group found him and called him Jasper when he was unable or unwilling to speak to them for several weeks. His behaviour has since somewhat normalized, though his backstory remains unclear.

So how would one rig a Rubik’s Cube to explode, presumably the moment someone solves it? I’ve seen the interior of a cube and you don’t have a lot of space for explosives or anything else, and the independent movement of the cube faces would require some fairly elaborate and robust contacts. It’d be quite the project, and I’ve studied and taught electromechanics.

Are sleep births even a thing? :dubious:

Sure, they used to bring the expectant mother in the hospital, knock her out and give her a pain blocker and then she would wake up with a new baby.

Oh, you mean without the drugs. Good lord I would doubt it, especially for a first birth.

Erica’s getting drawn into Carol’s insanity (& not being as good at it) was funny. For they know Jasper could be gay (which would suck even more for him than being shared by his 3 little ersatz sisters). I’m looking forward to seeing Fred Armisen (& whatever explanation they come up with for him serving being locked alone in a prison cell for years :dubious:).

Well Karl the Cannibal should be fun. :wink:

I’m not a fan of Armisen, but he was excellent in this. I’m a sucker for the whole mythology aspect of the show: how’d they get to be the last person wherever they are.

;); I’d forgotten about the Rubik’s cube until the last moment.

I had completely forgotten about the Rubik’s cube too. I was watching him fiddle with it and thinking “there’s something I’m missing…KABLAM… oh yeah.”

It might have worked better binging them all at once than the long wait we’ve had since the first week of January.

I was worried about Melissa; for awhile it seemed like she was having a problem with her meds, but she was just awkward because she never had a girlfriend before. Also Mike’s back, I guess Phil should’ve checked his bedroom after all.

It didn’t occur to me how awkward it’d be for Mike rejoining the group now that everyone else has paired up. :smack: Then it get’s even more awkward when you remember that Erica & Gail are both straight women to turned to lesbianism because there weren’t any available men. So any thoughts on what that was on the satellite images at the end? Other survivors, a massive fire, etc?

What we saw looked like a massive fire. And, by the way, I thought they’ve said in the show that virtually all animals died in the plague. So I was surprised that Mike mentioned seeing, in the satellite images, a moose in Canada and birds in Australia.
