So were the flash forwards what will happen or some bullshite he made up for his movie?

Never expected a stellar finale, but that was bizarre with the African village and shite. ODing on drugs would of been better than that weird shite.

I took everything after he hugs April in the house as Kenny just being over the top for his memoir...up until the point they end the flash forward and he's sitting in front of his computer.

When they're standing in the house, before the move to Santa Fe, Kenny tells April she's gonna need get some "Spanish style stuff" and "Navajo rugs" to fit the Santa Fe style. Cut to Kenny sitting at his computer, the room he's in is decked out in Spanish and Indian shite. There's even a chief on his desk.
So, I just assume he ended up moving to Santa Fe with them to start over.

I was pretty satisfied with the ending. I especially like that Kenny couldn't write himself as having gone completely grey, even when he died he had dark-ish hair.

and Stevie being completely fine that he's being played by a guy with down syndrome...

I liked the finale. The ending with the future stuff was kind of odd, but it had some moments. I loved that they played the song from The Highlander when his wife was killed.

Gene going off on Dixie was excellent. I was crying at the World Star moment.

I liked it as well. All the interactions between Cohen's character and the young teen cracked me up. Didn't recognize that Kenny's future son was Alexander Skarsgard (the tall vampire from True Blood/Meekus from Zoolander) until the credits.

I was really hoping they'd end it very very dark.

That's twice they've done that to me. I was so happy when the car wreck happened. Would've been a great end to his life. But they brought him back.

I liked the finale, but had all the stuff been real, April shot and he ODs on drugs in the street to end the series wouldve been phenomenal. Especially if right after he ODs we see Cutler walk past and spit on him.

That wouldve been perfect.

Instead its just kind of a good ending.

Eric from true blood was great. Was Lohan his daughter. World star was great. Had to explain to my wife what it was. Was the fake movie ending supposed to be Return of the Jedi with land speeders and him being burned ala Vader?

I actually thought the burning was a Wicker Man reference.

Wished they would have kept it going longer, this season was great. I think the whole TV show narrative had a lot of potential but they blew that up so quickly it never really went anywhere.
I liked the finale, the whole flash forward stuff threw me for a serious loop. I thought it was just him imagining things, but they kept going on and on and on and I'm like damn they're really gonna end it like this then they switch back to the real end

Thought thebwhole season was great. Best of the series. Season 2 just didn't work and season 3 was kinda all over the place. This time they figure out how to put it all together. It made sense yet it still had Kenny doing outrageous shite.

Thought the writing and dialogue were great. Actually thought the worst episode was the one at the water park with Kenny falling back into his old ways.
