No one should have to go out like that or force their loved ones to watch them die like that. But I get it.Ĭhristine: Gary knew he was dying and that it could be tortuously painful. It was tough, and I didn't think they were the best choice for all of this, as evidenced by how poorly they handled getting the drugs from Kevin. My surprise was that we didn't see more of it before since it still felt like it came together rather suddenly and last minute, just like their baby birthing stuff. Jasmine: He should've had an end-of-life plan. But Gary was right that lingering on in pain with no quality of life was just cruel. I think it was tough for Rome and Eddie to have to do this for him, and I'm not sure they were the right choice, though they did come through in the end. It's something everyone deserves, but not everyone gets, sometimes due to the laws in their state. I appreciated that they brought dying with dignity into the storyline. Although I hated that Gary was dying, they did an excellent job of portraying that realistically. It reminded me of some of the early episodes, and considering I didn't think I would enjoy it at all, they managed to pull things off well and in a sentimental way by the back half of the episode.Ĭhristine: I give the finale a 10. I thought the humor of it worked better, and it was as good as they could really manage to wrap things up and to come all "full circle." But they managed to make the finale a bit lighter despite how utterly depressing and dark Gary's slow death was. One of my biggest frustrations all season was the terrible pacing. And I almost wish they had just logistically had him die in that previous episode and spent the final one with everyone dealing with that loss and exploring what happened with the time jump. I am still very much upset that we had to lose Gary at all. So it was a very good ending though a sad one that I did not particularly look forward to seeing. But the ending tied many things together nicely, had the friends come together one last time to handle the end of Gary's life, and had his beautiful narration 15 years in the future.
