Yorick's casualness and reluctance to absorb the seriousness of everything, while most of the entire world was in despair, was never a good look. That's not to say it didn't help punctuate this episode, but it was such a boon for his character that now one can only lament we didn't see this side of him at the halfway point. It was needed, but maybe sooner than the finale would have been better.
We may never see these three again so it's nice to know they're at a good place now as they head into the mysterious maw of the Culper Ring.
Sonia getting taken out quickly didn't quite have the bite the show was aiming for, since she seemed like a doomed character from the start (especially now that Yorick is headed to Beth), but the time these past few episodes have taken to strengthen the bond between 355, Yorick, and Allison really helped mold them into a trio you care about. It doesn't excuse laggy episodes, but it does help build to big moments like this. Keeping major characters separated for this long was frustrating, but that's par for the course with sprawling apocalypse epics. The flashback dinner scene worked nicely to remind us that there was once a family unit here - a dysfunctional one, sure, but a family nonetheless. How this knowledge would have figured into their future stories is unknown, but having Hero actually see Yorick alive, and briefly reconcile, was a much-needed beat. Hero and Nora also know that Yorick's alive. All in all, it was a good outcome for this part of the story. Now it's Nora and Hero, believing Jennifer (and the government) to be dead, leading the Amazons under a new, less-draconian directive. And - yup! - it was cool to have her hear that right before Nora unceremoniously shot her down her in front of everyone. Now, she's in pure survival mode, but from a much wiser and more practical standpoint than Roxanne, who was revealed to be as petulant and power hungry as the men she despised. Of all the characters, she best represents the balance between loving men in her life and also having had her life rudely dictated by men. Nora's arc throughout this season has been one of the more fascinating to watch. Matt Fowler gave the three-episode premiere of Y: The Last Man a 6/10, writing, "the tale definitely has unique elements and a ghastly hook, but the actual doomsday-focused moments don't land as provocatively as intended given the overcrowded landscape of dystopian ruin in pop culture." What we said about the premiere of Y: The Last Man With the assumption the town was filled with "soccer moms," Roxanne led her cult into a bullet storm and the mistake would ultimately cost her her life. It was immensely pleasing to watch the Amazons mosey into Marrisville completely unaware they were riding into a lioness' den, filled with hardened convicts who were more than prepared for invaders. storyline could have used a few more minutes, besides Kimberly's sex dream about Yorick and Jennifer getting nabbed, but the need to keep things lean is also understandable. Considering all the violence last week, the aftermath of the D.C.
Y: The Last Man wrapped up its first season - and series, if the show doesn't find a new home - with (more) welcome chaos, a handful of satisfying moments, and a notable flashback string involving Hero being an utter s*** to her family.
