Agreed tbh. I liked the musical but it wasn’t worth all the misery. I have to admit the tone of those first couple of Season 6 episodes felt very appropriately apocalyptic for the darkest 9/11 timeline we were in. I remember watching them at the time and being like, yup, this checks out. But I don’t think it added anything to the conversation.

Honestly, I stopped watching after this. I thought it ended beautifully and, as much as I loved her and the show, it felt complete. To me, there was no need to continue on to UPN.
