Earth jumps the shark?

Is this political arc supposed to be a comedy? Cause i gotta tell you, it's downright hilarious. And i don't know if i should be laughing. Perhaps i should write a letter to the producer.

If it is, someone needs to fire the writers....

They can come up with better jokes than our current list of candidates.
 
I think the series finale next December will reveal that everyone was in Purgatory all along.

:biggrin:

Or it will go on, just like it always has before.

No, they definitely said that next season would be the final season.

To be fair, I can understand that: best to end the show on a high, and with a satisfying conclusion that ties up all the loose ends, than to let it go on for longer than necessary. Hopefully the writing will improve now that they've got an end date in mind, just to show that it's not just the writers making it up as they go along.

That said, I can understand if the audience clamours for more afterwards. :p

:p

I hear they're just going to do some kind of spin off series, The Great Successor, or some such nonsense.
 
I hope they include all my deleted scenes on the DVD. I think my best stuff ended up on the cutting room floor.
 
Look, it could be a lot worse.

They could start repeating random seasons. Anyone want to go through the 80s again? All that big hair and shoulder pads. Yeesh.

If they have any plans for next season, I hope they give things a more positive spin. All these doom and gloom storylines get me down.
 
Maybe they need to retitle it. Instead of 2012...

'8760', starring Keifer Sutherland.

This will hopefully encourage a few more Big Bads.
 
For the last 60 years or so the showrunner has been teasing us with aliens. Yet here we are with the final season on the horizon and no sign of aliens. I tell you, kind of disappointing really.
 
I dunno.. I felt the writers had a road map, but after 2011 seasons I wonder if they have jumped the shark. What will they do in season 2012?

There will be the continuation of the GOP primary arc from this season and then followed by the Indecision 2012 arc.
 
Maybe a juicy close election storyline, like the one we had in the late fall of the 2000 season.

I recall it was a real ratings winner.

Did anyone watch Charlie Brooker's Wipe 2011?

He described last year as one long season finale for planet earth. :D
