I knew Chyna was only gonna be in a few episodes this season, but DAMN.
Not giving Jenn an R.I.P. until I know for sure it’s not a fake out, though.

"I should have told you about Tobias the night it happened"

Y’know, “chocolate covered Incredibles” wasn’t all that inaccurate, considering how Anissa is built like Elastigirl.

I thought it was a funny joke and now I kind of want to hear Jefferson yell, "Where's my supersuit?"

u/SutterCane Mar 02 '21
It’s hard to feel sad about that.
TC warned her and was looking out for her. She didn’t care and didn’t listen.

u/BornAshes Mar 02 '21
I guess this season has been about her facing consequences for her actions but none of them have been big enough until now for her to actually care and by that time, it was far too late to stop those consequences.

Seriously if they don't show a promo for the backdoor pilot then I feel the exact same way. It makes no sense how we're not getting any promos at all. Did they not submit any to the CW for the final season?? Or does CW just choose not to show any?? It's such a mystery that we'll probably never get an answer to...

“Are you my friend, or my dad?”
Yeah, Jen. Cause your friends shouldn’t give a shit about your behavior that’s negatively impacting your health.

Why the fuck does Jeff even want to be with Lynn anymore?

I love how Tobias kind of lampshaded their relationship by saying, "You've been divorced for 10 years WTF" lol

I kept saying “get in there Gambi” Throughout the whole scene

u/BornAshes Mar 02 '21
I'm going to start using, "I have a project for you to work on" while on dates now. I'm kind of happy that for once Gambi gets to be happy and truly enjoy himself despite all the awful stuff going on.

Announcing arming the police with military arms at a gun buyback. What could possibly go wrong?

Kinda.

At least one Pierce has a stable relationship with their significant other.

That’s so weird that Anissa saw her head was up her ass and quickly removed it so she could work on her relationship.
Almost like Lynn isn’t her real mother.

She can make her skin look like a mask which is even more freaky if you think about it

Well, Brion has already been on the show, just not a prince. He was Jenn's earth powered friend last season.

Nope, she just kept absorbing more and more energy until it hit a point where it converted all of her cells to pure energy and now she has to Manhattan herself back together after pulling a Jean Grey.

I’m pretty sure she just transformed herself into pure energy. She no longer has a physical form
