#like CLEARLY there was quite a bit of studio fuckery limiting time but also the writers needed to better adjust to those limitations

the thing about the ofmd season finale killing izzy is that it's interesting and has a lot of potential as the midpoint to the story, but as the end of the story it fucking sucks.

the season 2 ending chickened out by presenting itself like it could be a full series finale when all it's done is set up a foundation of fucked-up for the next season to build itself on. but it presented itself like there would be no next season and that this was just the happy ending for the characters, while everything is still clearly in the fucked up mid-point emotionally to set up for season 3 but it's simultaneously saying "no it's not emotionally fucked up. it's all emotionally wrapped up into a happy little bow, you see?"

like, pick ONE, you can either make fucked up things happen, leave the character development in a tenuous mid point to set up for the third season OR you can wrap the characters up with a happy ending but you cannot actually do both. if it's meant to be the midpoint they needed to say "this is the midpoint of our story, the story is not over" with their WHOLE pussy.
