It can't be.

I watched the Jason Patric episode back in '94. From the opening monolog to the end credits, it is incredibly difficult to watch. He even tried to do the whole self-aware thing, openly saying that he had no business hosting the show and that the part where he goes backstage to talk to Lorne is dumb, but instead of coming off as remotely funny, it makes me want to shoot Jason Patric.

Also, aren't the early 80s episodes especially bad.

Its kind of funny how they're altering the online ads each week. Originally it was all "Will Forte is The Last Man on Earth" while for this week they changed it to "Will Forte is REALLY not The Last Man on Earth"

But he is the last man on earth thus far.

Well, the preview for next week all but confirms my suspicions about what was going to happen this week.

Adding a 4th character, a hot dude. And the "you should procreate with her" argument being turned back against Phil and used on the hot dude.

I thought the beginning was especially hilarious when Forte was acting all coy around January Jones in the limo, all the while trying to exclude Carol.

Not a great episode but a required set up episode. Him picking up the home made door and setting it aside got a good laugh from me though.

You guys put the idea in my head that Melissa could be a lesbian who'd want to hook up with Carol. It sounded so perfect to me that I ended up scrutinizing this episode waiting for the twist; it may not have come this week, but I'll be hosed if that's not where they're going. She practically throws herself at Carol when she lays eyes on her ("HERE PUT YOUR ARM AROUND ME"), seems just a little disappointed when Carol mentions she's married, and looks right at Carol when she describes her type -- a provider, which Carol certainly is having made the food -- even though Phil was the one who asked.

My guess is that Melissa somehow overheard Carol tell Phil that she would never cheat, and decided to use his obvious attraction to her to break up the marriage so she'd be free to move on Carol. That, or I'm too attached to this "Melissa is a lesbian" theory to rationally interpret her actions.

I still thought Melissa is a lesbian because she liked Carol so quickly and never felt comfortable with Phil. She still seems uncomfortable after saying she misjudged Phil.

I mean, it seems like the twist for the next episode is revealed during the commercial in the credits, but I would bet that the actual twist hasn't been revealed.

By the way, why is there a 1 hour special next week?

To add to the lesbian theory, I think Melissa is now under the impression that Phil is gay. That's what she misunderstood, why she eventually opened up to him and why she said she really wanted a man and he said 'me too'. She thinks he's gay and only agreed to get married for the sake of re-population, so when Tatum arrives at the end of the next episode and is gay, they will try to hook him and Phil up and it will cause a lot of chaos and comedy.

Anyone else think it's funny that January Jones is going to have a part in something where another man's wife actually *wants* her to get pregnant by her husband?

Hopefully a Mexican nanny or French au pair survived the viral apocalypse, too.

Most studies I've seen peg a minimum viable population for humans between 500-1000 individuals.

I can see how you'd want to mix it up as much as possible, both genetically and ethically, but out of curiosity what exactly would be the proverbial stop sign on the human race if you tried to recreate it with two people? Is it just higher infant mortality rate/illness rate and more difficulty in creating offspring?

Also this show rocks, and I can't wait to see more TWISTS.

According to IMDB There are two more characters appearing in 7 episodes this season, Todd and Erica. Erica looks like she'll be another attractive female to tempt Phil while Todd certainly won't be the Channing Tatum we've predicted.

January Jones evidently was supposedly screwing Matthew Vaughn while he was directing X:Men - First Class. Vaughn is married to Claudia Schiffer.

It would be a pretty abrupt stop. You'd need about 50 breeding pairs as a bare minimum to get a decent start, preferably with good genes. The *safe* number is ~500-600 breeding pairs.

Also, just an aside, but this show became a whole lot funnier when I started pretending Will Forte was Chris-Chan. I also really thought he was going to try and kill Carol (or just think about it) when he said "what if I wasn't married?"

I think the forced saccharine ending really hurt this episode- if after all of carols little sappy speech Phil look at her and went "I want a divorce" it would've been a lot more comedically resonant

As it stands it's Phil being a creepy shithead for 20 minutes than magically learning how to not be in the final two

Yeah we didn't really need a whole episode to establish he's into the new girl. We knew that was going to be the joke the instant we saw her face. These new shows that are only doing half seasons now really shouldn't be wasting time like that.
