Did anybody else notice that in S1 when Tandy meets Gale and Erica at their Tucson home, it’s the same home as from S4?

Just a funny continuity error. Not technically a spoiler because I didn’t say the location, right?

Is Carol sexy?

Kristen schall is not sexy by any stretch, and happens to look cute from time to time but so far season three, she's a solid 6+2 for loyalty and personality. Thoughts?

Phil flying a stealth bomber?

I'm just curious, I'm only starting season 3 but season 2 episode 1 Phil is flying a b2 stealth bomber. So around the camp fire in season 1 when Phil Miller #2 says he's ex military, tandy claims he's also ex military, and then season 1 finally tells Carol there's a lot she doesn't know about him. Those two things made me expect to hear something interesting about tandy in season 2, but never came about. Am I missing something from later seasons? Or is tandy a boss?

Just watched the series and still reeling that it was made in 2015

The fact that they predicted that a virus would rock the world within 1 years of when it actually happened (they said the virus in the show hit in 2019?) like. What are the odds, its kind of insane right? When I first started watching I assumed it was created in 2020 as a worse case scenario for how covid could have ended. I think that it’s kind of a brilliant setup for a sitcom and was executed spectacularly, and though I understand why the creators would be reluctant to continue the series after the events of the last 4 years, but i’ll remain disappointed that this series didn’t get a final season to wrap up all the loose ends.

What I would have wanted for Season 5

I recently finished the show and with that cliffhanger I just can't stop thinking about what could have happened in Season 5 or a movie conclusion. I've read the articles about what Will Forte has said would happen but I think there are still some holes that weren't filled in. Im going to use what he said as a starting point and kind of riff from there, let me know what you think or how you would have wanted it to end!

Season 5 would begin with the group waking up in a stark white room with plain walls and a large mirror on one end. They have been stunned and taken captive by the bunker people in gas masks. They were brought into the bunker and quarantined, and now that they are waking, the other survivors talk to them over the intercom. The other survivors are nice and polite, and are very reasonable with Tandy but let politely let him know that they will be keeping the group captive and experimenting on them. When Tandy asks why, they say "To find a cure of course."

The bunker group has been tracking Tandy and friends, watching them remotely, and they have determined that they are immune to the virus. The head scientist intends to use their blood to synthesize a cure but it could take some time. They can't say for certain if they are carriers until they run more tests, so the group is kept in isolation. This leads to some interesting group dynamics as they are kept in a small room under possible observation and scrutiny from the others. It would also be a bit of a role reversal from characters like Karl and Pamela who are subject to the group's whims, now the group is held at the mercy of the larger colony. Meanwhile Tandy develops a friendship with the lead scientist in contact with the group via the intercom (this character would be a celebrity guest star).

Eventually Tandy gains the trust of the scientist and is let out of the isolation chamber in a decontamination suit. The scientist leads Tandy around the bunker colony and the true strangeness of their underground society begins to set in. As much of the show pokes fun at and subverts other apocalyptic tropes, this would play on the idea of vaults and bunker societies. The bunker survivors do things like recycle human waste for 100% renewability, follow strict reproduction guidelines to optimize the gene pool, and other odd anachronism that the scientist character has grown numb to and doesn't see as strange. When Tandy returns to the group, they are still under observation, but Todd and Carol have worked out a very strange method of discrete communication that allows him to share his discoveries.

The scientist is continually performing experiments on the group and drawing blood for examination. He confesses to Tandy that none of his tests have shown any promise, he doesn't understand why, but nothing is working. He won't be able to release the group until he has a successful cure to save the colony, so Tandy hatches a plan to trigger a false success on one of the scientist's vaccine attempts. He reasons that it won't hurt anyone, they will let the group leave and be none the wiser. The virus must be inert by now if people like Mike, Pat, Glenn, and Pamela had no problems after leaving isolation. The group puts their plan in action and prepare to be released.

In a terrible twist of fate, the test vaccine that Tandy falsely marked as successful, instead proves to be lethal. The colony goes into crisis as nearly everyone inadvertently kills themselves with the deadly vaccine injections. The group in quarantine make their escape through the horror show of a bunker as the entire population die around them (mirroring Will Forte's original vision for the conclusion). It would be awesome if during the chaos the bunker could even somehow self destruct! Finally the group, plus perhaps one celebrity guest who survives the bunker ordeal, makes it back to the orange grove with the herd of goats and live happily ever after, thankful to be above ground and free again.

This ended up a little more long winded than I thought, but let me know what you think or if you have any ideas for subplots that some of the other characters could be involved in during all of this.

Just finished the show, and thoughts

Hi! I just finished watching the entire show as of tonight and to say the absolute least, I'm very bugged about not getting to see how things with the bunker people and specifically all of them went. And I know most of the fan base wants a season 5 and have tried to do anything at all in hopes that fox hears our cries but.. with it being off air for so long, i guess I'm just another person who seriously loves this show with all their heart and wishes the people who were involved in making it got the comfort of wrapping it up. :(

EDIT: thank you all who interacted for doing so <3 i really appreciate and love this show and everyone who does too, and I think im speaking for all of us when i say id do anything for hopes of a FINALE finale or anything at all even if theres no hope for it.

How was Tandy, who showed his complete lack of carpentey skills repairing Carol's door in S1, able to build a masterfully crafted play house for Carol in S3?

BRING IT BACK LIKE ICARLY (I won't accept defeat ): )

I made a post yesterday asking why we dont fight for the show, and many good points were made such as the cast being older, and the show being forgotten by most of the actors but might I remind you the show boosted the acting careers of all those actors, and I'm sure they'd all be happy to come back, they may not have a platform but the writer was will Forte, if we all banded together and increased its popularity we could potentially bring it back
