let's stop to let everyone know our sexuality.
If there's one thing to do at the end of the world, it's fuck.
But they don't. They just talk about it and virtue signal.
I've heard it's one of the lowest rated episodes of the show by viewers on RT. Lots of backlash from people saying it was completely forced, isn't necessary to the story, and if it must be done, could have come in an earlier season not when the heroes are prepping for the final episode. Fair criticism.
I think that's one of the things Hollywood doesn't understand. Nobody is pissed about gay people. They're pissed when it's thrown in their face. It's like the comedian...I forget who, maybe Giraldo...saying the gay pride parade is fine, but do you have to wear assless chaps while marching?

Over all, I felt like this show was way over rated. This season was pretty over the top and over acted. I feel like as the kids got older, their lack of acting skills really started to show, and so things got unbelievable and clunky. The 80's nostalgia was fun, but not enough to carry the whole show.
Best thing from this season was the guy using the name "Austin Millbarge".
Oh, and the product placement was at a disgusting level.

Right? As Jeremy Johns said in his video, "The story was over, so why was there an hour left in the episode?" (Paraphrasing.)
But I will say that it was all well done. You know what would have fit really well here? Someone coming out. It wouldn't have been forced and something that would NEVER happen right before the world potentially ending.

TLDR: ST fans upset with the finale thought a secret final episode would be released today with the "real" ending. They're wrong.
A thought on the fate of one character in the finale:
I think Mike's explanation of 11 being alive is too accurate to be wrong. Until someone can explain how she could use her powers to talk to him, despite the military hitting her with the "kryptonite", it's the only explanation that works within the show's logic.
