We were delighted at that, such a clever and fun cameo!

I’m only vaguely familiar with The Warriors and I didn’t understand the cameo. Could you explain? And maybe blur it as a spoiler?

So far I think this season is hilarious! I loved how the theme music at the end of the episode (don’t remember which exact episode - the PI film shoot one? - sounds like the theme music of Sex and the City.

My guess is the reference is to the _brief_ appearance at the episode’s end of Alexander Skarsgård, who was one of the main (vampire) characters in True Blood.

I didn’t recognize him.

Yes, I was referring to the unexpected appearance of Eric Northman, despite us seeing Queen Sophie years ago.

I liked the finale quite a bit. This was a fun show and they had a very fun ending.

i found the finale to be a lot like the rest of this season: not unwatchable, but not GREAT. A few good bits here and there, but just missing something.

It’s tough to pull off a final episode that pleases everyone. I enjoyed this one. 10 years (from the original movie) is a good run for any ensemble comedy. There were great episodes and not so great episodes, but overall it was a fun ride.

Is it weird that Nandor and Guillermo in bed together really was the most satisfying ending I could think of? 😅

Wow, that’s what I thought of, too! You must also be a _Newheart_ fan.

They actually did have three endings.

My episode on Hulu had Newhart ending. Were they randomly inserted?

The one I saw (DVR’d off of the FX broadcast) had them descend into a secret lair in Nandor’s coffin.

I thought that’s what you meant by “Nandor’s bed” but apparently not.

I saw both but the secret lair part came after the first set of credits I think.

They mean that there were three filmed endings for the hypnotized ending.
