Yeah, I didn't hate it, but I wouldn't say I liked it.
I really don't know if she's gone for good, but if she is, it wouldn't surprise me. I think they'll keep her gone so Jack is still married and unavailable...unless they need a big guest star next season as a love interest for Jack and he has an affair? Avery is declared dead? they somehow get divorced? I don't know. Very strange.
I was going to put an 'it's okay option,' but I wanted to see how things were between mostly positive to mostly negative, essentially.
Yeah, I don't know what they're going to do. My guess, after some pondering, is that they want to just put this on the backburner for a while, and at some point she'll come back and things will be awkward with her and Jack for a bit and I will unsuccessfully try to force myself to care.
I was talking to some people today who are... more casual about the show than me/all of us (and who haven't read spoilers), and their impression was that Avery would be back eventually. So... CONFUSION. (But also, I don't think they're aware that this week is the season finale.)
If I had to bet, I'd say she'd be back sometime next season. (I was literally just talking to my mom about this -- who loves the show but is not hardcore about it as perhaps you and I are, but does know the finale is this week -- and she thinks we'll never see her again.) I feel like the fact that it felt kind of casual/some people don't care about her character so much might feed into the fandom opinion that she's been dispatched permanently.
No, you're totally right. A few minutes after I posted the comment I thought, "I should have noted my mom is terrible about predicting stuff involving Avery!" Then my mind went on to something else.
I really don't like Avery with jack but i don' t think she's gone for good because it doesn't make sense at all ... half the season 4 they made Jack choose between her and Nancy and boom the next season they get married have a baby and she disappeared like that ??... wow they could have avoiding the whole thing then. That said if she's really gone, i'm good with it but i find it really weird and a little unfair to let Jack like that alone with Lidy ... of course if it means a closer relationship between him and Liz, i'm on board
( ... )
That's my guess, too, that she'll return next year after Jack has given up hope, but I saw a bunch of people saying, "Well, that's it for Avery!" and I wondered what most people thought.
I have wondered if 'Jack leaves with Avery' was going to be the plan to get rid of Alec. Honestly, though, I'd prefer the show to end at the end of season six, as I don't really want to watch the show without Jack and I really don't think a show gets better when it gets into seasons seven/eight/nine and that they should quit before it gets to that point.
I agree with *all* of this. Not a good idea to continue without him and if they have him exit with her THAT would be the WORST!! THEEEEE WOOOOOORST EVEEEEER! Ugh...
Having said that, this show is pretty damn awesome at just dropping major plots when it's just convenient for them. So I voted that she's gone for good. Based on their track record, I belive this plausible. And preferrable. I think they might have been online, seen some fans reactions and FINALLY done what they should have done at the beginning of the season. Given her the chop. (Though as I've said before, I would have preferred Jack to simply come to his senses and dump her bony ass for being such a horrorshow of womanhood.) I haven't seen the ep, but I voted that I hated it just cos coming from extremely low expectations is the only way for me to view the show these days. I renounce my attachment to them. As much as I can.

But now I feel like I've really thrown down the gauntlet for the writers...
And I mean, going on without Alec is ALREADY beyond the pale awful. They would be so foolish to do it.
