The Last Man On Earth (TV series)

Is this filmed mostly on sets or did they clear out parts of neighborhoods and hose down the trees with paint for a dead look? Like it's got a very high production value. I'm sure it's a mixture of both sets and practical locations but they're generally seamless. Some shots are obviously green screened but even then they're very very good.

And where did all the bodies go? And why were there no riots or rushes on supplies like we see in Walking Dead where life is a daily struggle?

 

Magic.

 

Extended sex scene:

 

That was waaaay more than I saw last night! I wonder what will happen next week? Hmm...

 

I recently looked at some sort of list on the Comcast Home Page something like "The 20 shows you aren't watching but should" and did a mini-marathon of about 4 episodes this weekend. I enjoyed it much more than my husband's usual type of comedies <cough>two broke girls<cough>, and he enjoyed it as well. Is nice when we can agree on show. In a role-reversal, the hubby likes "chick flicks" while I go much more for more thrilling fare. Still, I enjoy a chick flick from time to time, and he goes with me to things like the Bourne movies.

For a completely different type of show, the same list recommended Fortitude, don't know how I will feel about this dark non-comedy show as I continue to watch it but I very much enjoyed the pilot.

 

New Phil isn't listed with the main cast in the credits, so maybe we'll get to see the first murder in the post-plague world.

 

I wonder how they'll handle the situation. Both guys hate the new Phil, and the women and Phil Tandy and Todd did as well. It won't turn out well for someone.

 

Spoiler: Potential Spoilers Based on Speculation

Isn't everyone besides Forte and Schaal listed as "guest stars?" I know I already read that January Jones is only signed for season one. I have a feeling the group is going to separate and Tandy will once again be "the last man."

 

That would make me stop watching. It's one thing to speculate that there might be more people "out there". It's another thing to know it. It would have to be reflected in the writing. That's all that mattered to those wandering and looking for a safe haven on The Walking Dead - get to the others still alive.

Yep, it's time for murder, "accidents", or something ironic like a common cold killing new Phil. How about a cow trampling?

 

I can see much of the current cast getting frustrated with Tandy's crap and moving to another area. It's not like they have to stay in Tucson, and there are probably other people out there.

 

It's kind of funny that nobody is talking about the repopulation plan anymore.
Nobody should be frustrated...everyone should get laid...

 

Exactly. If that was on their To Do list, they could repopulate in an ongoing basis. I think Todd and Tandy aren't into repopulating the earth as much as Carol is.

 

Maybe Carol's experience with New Phil will pay off?

 

But Carol can't be trying to repopulate with New Phil, they aren't married.

 

The ratings have been pretty stable:

The previous 6 episodes:
3.22 - 3.41 million viewers

 

Carol was also upset about the stolen paintings in the beginning. Fast forward a couple of episodes >>>

 

And yet she is so consistent with her dirty talk. Hmmm.

 

This show is worth the Carol’s sex scenes alone.

 

Will Forte ‏@OrvilleIV Trying out toilet boards with @chrizmillr and @philiplord

 

"A first-time showrunner, Forte admits he’s made mistakes. Midseason, Last Man lost some viewers and critics when Phil’s wacky antics and the introduction of too many new characters threatened to turn the show into a generic suburban comedy, like a Cougar Town: End of Days. “I know my character spins out a little bit,” says Forte. “To some people, that seems to be polarizing.” So its renewal is both a validation and an opportunity to recalibrate. “It feels so good that we didn’t hand them a s**t sandwich,” he says. “I’m excited.” Then, suddenly, he’s not: Forte begins fretting about how he’d told Fox executives to “make it quick” so he didn’t keep me waiting. “I felt like such a dick saying that, now, after they were giving us this wonderful news,” he says. Then it really hits him: “Oh, God, we’re going to have to start doing this again. We have to figure out what the hell we do now.”

Another interesting quote:

"The network, says Forte, “was rightly terrified at first,” given that nearly the entire pilot has Phil talking to himself, to God, to a female mannequin he’s trying to date, and to a coterie of sports balls he’s named and drawn faces on for companionship, before deciding it’s time to end it all by driving his truck full-speed into a boulder. And Forte stubbornly refused to compromise the storytelling by resorting to lots of flashbacks or even explaining what caused everyone to die. (Additional survivors, though — such as Kristen Schaal’s Carol, whom Phil marries to procreate with but can’t stand, and January Jones’s Melissa, the “freakin’ smokeshow” of a woman who shows up after Phil has married Carol but is totally uninterested in him — were part of Forte’s vision all along.)"
