That was hilarious, he even says "in the unlikely event the tiger was ever let loose -- now I have no idea how something like that could ever loving happen..." I was also wondering if maybe the food court scene was meant to imply Lee died of his wounds, but then why include the scene with him working at some specific store? I think Gamby and Lee have just grown apart since then, and Gamby's just wishing that he saw Lee more often, like when they were working together. Sort of a wistful remembrance of their friendship. I'm also not sure why Lee had to take a job in retail. If they're just sweeping the massive fistfight from last episode under the rug, then Lee was never really disgraced or anything, was he? I thought he just kinda disappeared once Gamby threatened to read his sister's diary. I woulda thought he could have stayed on as principal, or at least transferred to a school where everyone didn't hate him.

Yeah I couldn't tell if the lunch table was always empty or not Or maybe he does have the job but he wouldn't be caught dead in the food court

Lee was there and he left. quote:The relationship between Gamby and Russell, no matter its status, was always the heart of show, which made for an interesting choice when we didn’t get a final conversation between them, instead just this wistful glance across the food court. Why did you go that route?

Abbot was kind of the obvious choice for awhile. Lee made sense narratively but would have gone against the surprising amount of heart they were able to build in the show. Anyone else was a wild card.

I love Jody Hill’s stuff, and this show was no different. I’m sad it’s over with, but it was really great while it lasted and I hope Hill, McBride and Goggins collaborate again in the future. (With regards to a TV show; I know about the Legacy of a Whitetail Deer Hunter movie) Lee getting headshotted and then walking around like nothing happened was incredible.

ChesterJT posted:I expected more people to jump in and say they thought/knew it was abbot. I WAS set on Abbot after the episode where they went on spring break, and I posted as much in the thread back then. The only thing that made me wonder if Ray was in on it was this:  The shooter is standing on the curb, but it looks like he's at least Gamby's height, and from that first shot it's pretty clear it's a man, or at least a woman much more slender than Abbot. So Abbot either had an accomplice, or this is a comedy that wasn't trying to put together an airtight murder mystery and might not have settled on Abbot by the end of the first season. Either way, I probably put too much time into this.

They filmed the entire series all at once so I'm pretty sure they intended Abbot to be the killer from the jump.

Well poo poo, really? I was only half-serious posting those pictures, but then was there really an accomplice that shot Gamby? I suppose its possible they just had some random extra in the mask because they didn't want to leave the internet with a year to analyze those freezeframes and see it was Abbot?

Gamby got together with Snodgrass, became a principal, has a good relationship with this daughter and apparently beat up a tiger.

Man, I thought for sure that the last shot of Russell suddenly disappearing in the food court was 100% a sign that he had actually died from his wounds and that the store scene and food court scene were just Gamby was just imagining what Russell could have gone on to do. I thought for sure that this meant were taking a page from the Brendan Fraser in Scrubs playbook and delivering us a brief misdirect before finally hitting us with the bombshell that the character actually died. And then when they showed the empty bench (which in my mind meant that it was actually a fantasy scene and that Russell was actually dead) I actually got a little bit choked up, even though I knew Russell was a sociopath. But then I go online and find that the creators have spoken and they actually meant for the scene to be taken completely literally and Russell didn't die, was actually there eating in the food court and then the last shot was just showing the fact that he had got up and physically walked away? OK....I loved the hell out of this show but surely I can't be the only one who thought that the "Russell is alive and fine and managing a clothing outlet! Now he's messing around with Gamby in the food court!......oh wait.....this was all in Gamby's head and Russell is actually dead" was absolutely brilliant and poignant and meaningful, and then going online and finding out the true ending meant that all of it was to be taken literally was a big letdown.

Well thread, it's been a wild two seasons, and I'll miss the increasingly ridiculous shooter speculation theories that kept this thread going. But thank you all that are bad at tv watching and thought Lee was a ghost/vision even after the scene of him pushing around his employee and stealing her smoke break.

I didn’t really see it as Russell dying. Too many details with his injured hand, plus that theory just reeks ‘baseless dream theory theory with not enough evidence to back up it being a dream’ E: also put me in the ‘knew it was Abbot as early as the SB episode but with inkling suspicions since the Russell party episode’ group

for a sec I thought that shot at the end in the food court was highlighting the empty table that had no chairs at it at all, hence Lee could never have been sitting there But then I realized there was an empty chair at a different table in the foreground and that's what the focus was meant to be whoops. Good for Lee Russell, burned down a woman's house, shot in the head, and mauled by a tiger, and still living life

What was the point of Robin? I don't think he contributed anything to the story whatsoever. He was always just sorta there, being a disinterested stoner kid. And then he got a perfect score in a manipulated test. The end. I guess he gave Christine someone to talk to and some drugs, when she had her breaktrough.

The point of Robin was that Gamby actually gave a poo poo about righting the wrongs in his past and is actually a decent guy without when Lee isn't being a toxic influence in his life. Robin eventually meeting Christine also kind of kickstarts Lee's downfall.

facebook jihad posted:Eh I mean there are posts going back pages where people were saying they thought it was Abbott, so...? It's just a personal pet peeve of mind I can admit it. Any show with a mystery people are throwing out guesses left and right, most of the time with no real proof and then the ones who were wrong stay silent and the ones who guessed it right say they knew it all along. No one knew until it was revealed on the show and there's no prize for guessing right so I never understood the people who rush to message boards to say "I got it right". And now my soapbox is broken, thank you for your time.

Even though I loved the show, it's still crazy that these guys faced basically no repercussions for all the poo poo they did to Belinda Brown. The scene of her doing well feels like a bit of a writer's copout in a "she's fine, so all's well that end's well" kind of way.

At the same time, it's nice to see something subverting expectations. From a story standpoint, Belinda can't do anything about it. If she did, the video of her gets leaked, and she's hosed. The only ones that know (I think) are Gamby, Russell, and Snodgrass. They have to live their actions, and in the case of Snodgrass, she has live with the fact that her partner did some hosed up poo poo. That will always be hanging there. No matter what good they may do later, it's still there.
