The end of the episode where Al has no idea what his usual is was incredible
Worst episode I’ve seen. Nothing made me laugh or smile. I felt like I just wasted 30 minutes watching that trash. There was certainly no payoff at the end of the episode.

I’m not liking the new season.

I was blown away by the episode. I've never fallen for horror/suspense but this was a masterpiece. The execution was great, taking you high then gradually taking you back down for a breather, only to send you back even higher by the end. Only thing I didn't care for was the music selection at the end. A bit too on the nose and corny for me. But outside of that, the creative and production team on that deserve nothing but praise.

Anyone else sorta confused as f*** after the last episode? Specifically the old guy in the woods. He was that crazy that he put the box cutter to Al's neck and then didn't move? Was that guy even real, or in his head?

Tough couple weeks here for Paper Boi.

Eum, I thought it was pretty obvious that he was a ghost but I could be wrong. I believe Alfred goes directly through the man's arm when he gets up after being threatened with the knife, no? Or was that my eyes playing a trick on me?

With that said, the last episode involving all the guys served as a needed breather. I really liked the concept of each episode focusing on 1 character at a time but it was excellent to dwelve back into the dynamics between each character and their dilemmas.

Nah, he pushes his arm out of the way.

Sometimes I miss school and being a kid. Today is not one of those days.

Think they did a great job casting young Ern.
Man, that was too well done. Way too close to reality of walking around unsure of everything.

Of course, they took it to some extremes to prove a point about the consequences of cowardly decisions.

He wasn't real, he was a representation of Alfred's flight or flight instincts/subconscious.

Great season finale. The episode and what transpires in the one before that was so important for how this one ended and understanding Ern and Al's relationship. Love this show.
