Exactly, and not to twist things around for their own unproductive ends. I think in a lot of respects they're forgetting that people are watching here and that this is supposed to be serviceable to those who are watching, and are treating it too much like a joke or their own thing to screw around with at our expense. They may think what they're doing is funny but it comes off as being oblivious or ignorant of what the fans would prefer to see, I often feel like they're making it for themselves and their own crappy ideas rather than acknowledging that there's an audience out there that expects better from them.

If you ask me, it's a pretty idiotic episode, the challenge is one of the lamest in the series' history. Plus, starving the interns is absolutely inappropriate, is starvation funny? This episode is ****ed up on so many levels, but the deliberate destruction of one character in the most coldhearted and aggressive way possible is absolutely deplorable, coming at the total expense of that character's still very prominent fandom and at the cost of any development or progression previously seen in the season. Not to mention repeating more of the old BS that not only has dragged down the series altogether, but shows how devoid of imagination they really are. No grasp on what they could do better or how they can rise above and past what they've already done before, especially when a good sized chunk of it has been extremely unpopular. There is no excuse that can be made for that kind of bias, and it needs to be confronted at its core to ensure they understand that it is unacceptable.

Yes, episodes where they don't try or don't put their best effort in usually are just boring and messy, but these episodes are worse, they're something worse. They're open insults, is what they are, totally not an accident. Yeah, Booty-ful is completely brain dead, talk about not giving a s*** about what your'e doing. It's embarrassing, it's pathetic, it's unprofessional, and it says a lot about them as writers. If they didn't care, they should not have committed to this.

Absolutely not an excuse for sure, again where does that even come from? It's aggressively unfunny. It's a point I'm sure to attack again later, and I think it'd be worth demanding an explanation as to how it's quote on quote "funny" to imply eight characters died and to not reveal anything on their fates, characters infinitely more popular than the two finalists and an action that was so uncalled for and too stupid to even be conceived by a human being. Someone looked at this and thought this was acceptable? I find their taste to be abhorrent and deluded.

Perhaps, but should I drop a reminder or something on the Flush question? I hope they realize that the point still stands and that the "Kids' show" excuse is not going to get them off the hook no matter how much they reiterate it.

Should I move on to new questions then?

Yeah I'll be hugely appreciative if you or others backed me up on that point at your own choosing. I really don't care to put up with the defenders, since the few who do I swear just don't get it. Fresh needs to remain aware of how much anger, how much hurt this episode stirred up, and that it is where the backlash became very much real. The season pretty much was dead at that point, nobody gave a crap about what remained, they had nothing to look forward to, and those later two just made things worse, but this is the episode that opened the floodgates. I intend to immediately shoot down the kids' show excuse and to spell out the emotional toll it took. This thing was a grave insult.

The season is an absolute nightmare, the Unholy Trinity was a nightmare, it was an absolutely damning debacle. The arrogance that led to them needs to be confronted, this cannot be allowed to repeat itself, they cannot keep doing this to the characters or to us.

Just don't expect too much from it, it'll be back to the status quo when it's done.
