It looks like they are setting it up for Selena to be Katherine and Katherine to be Selena. Selena gave up last night.

The thing that makes this show hard to watch is the lines come out of nowhere. I almost chocked last night when she said "I hope I did not **** Richard". My drink came up through my nose.

The movie will come back as well. It was mentioned way too many times

They won't be able to do that. This show is too great for that. Once we have a president then we have a president. If that president is not constitutionally able then the vice president will take over. Selena will not be president next season. If they pull something like that then I will be disappointed.

Really great season wrap-up Q&A with showrunner David Mandel. Talks quite extensively about his thoughts and ideas for the future of the show...

Really seemed more like a series finale...to me if the show is not set at Blair House or the WH, then it has effectively morphed into something else. The beauty of Selena Meyer was her incompetence and petulance juxtaposed against great power...the life a former, unelected president...? Yawn...

Disappointing...

I trust that whatever this morphs into will be hilarious given the writers and acting.

That's the spirit. After five seasons, these guys definitely don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

I'll watch...but it wouldn't surprise me it it goes downhill...your typical HBO series lasts between 5-7 seasons so maybe it's run its course...Selena with the Washington monument behind her in the rain listening to the new president's parade would have been a great series end!

I do agree that it definitely felt like a series finale and might have even been a perfect one. That said, I think they can get a solid two seasons out of whatever's next, then close up shop. As long as it's the same cast, I don't care where they are / what they're doing. It's not like The Office trying to limp along after Steve Carell left. It'll literally be the exact same team- both behind and infront of the camera - as this past season, which I think may have been the best yet.

I agree with what you are saying and I do fear a season 9 of scrubs, but I am optimistic

If the focus shifts to their jobs in the media and Jonah running for office again then let see this.

Ben asking for a divorce while at Disney World is exactly the kind of show this world needs.

Agree. I was just thinking last night that the actual plot really doesn't matter to me on this show. The characters and the jokes are so spectacular they could do anything.

They perfectly hit the thing that drives me nuts about mexicans on the national stage.

Flawless, non-accented english for everything they say....until they say their ****ing name, then it is the thickest, I've never heard an american speak in my ****ing life spanish accent.

so much this.

The show has been great, the cast has been great, etc.

I think they could spin off and shift focus to sort of a 3-phase world where attention for certain episodes is on Selina/Gary and whatever theyr'e doing, Dan/Amy and their rise back through either media or a new political team, and then also have Jonah's team and term as a congressman. Then by the end of the season they could tie the 3 storylines together to intertwine, and possibly at that time give JLD the sendoff she deserves for her work on the show.

Now that she is out of the presidency/vice presidency, the show should not focus on her. That much I do know.

Shouldn't it focus on the new VP?...just saying

"I gotta go, something amazing is happening"

during Gary's meltdown

Maybe Selina will move to New Hampshire and make a run for that open seat kinda like Hillary and NY. Selina vs Jonah would be fun.

I wish I had 100 Richards
...but what if we all killed each other...

Don't remember the exact quote but it was great

So did they not leave open the possibility of using the found votes? The eagle guy - I know he is senile but maybe that is a way Selina gets back in power? Or was that just a way to mind **** us?

No, read that article I linked to earlier. The showrunner straight up says that's not going to be a thing, he just thought it was a funny line to end on.
