All of her character development went out the window. I think they wanted her to have that ending with Andy, then when Adam DeVine left, they just subbed in Dylan, which didn’t work the same way." —kerryb4e7ff4e7a Andy was a much better match for her." —sarahpaige5 She should have moved away from the Upper East Side." —rmaxwellington After all the crap over the years, they should’ve just given her the damn “rom-com” she wanted all along." —zphyna —micahdr —dottieminerva
I still boil with anger over it years later." —taffaram And instead of her lover being like, ‘No, let’s talk about this,’ he stabbed her! The GoT writers did her so dirty. If I could watch any finale episode get a rewrite, it would be that one." —sonnyg42 —hairbymorgen —becxxxxx Then, Toby’s fiancée died, so he anticlimactically went back to Spencer. She didn’t even get a wedding, while all the other Liars did. Oh, and she found out she has an evil twin, and she was adopted or something. WTF? This is how they treated the character who pretty much held everything together for everyone else during the entire show? Outrageous." —hof I’ve never been more upset with a main character’s ending. At the very least, he should’ve followed her to Paris." —kylecswagner —iznotyouizyou Rachel even landed her dream job in PARIS just to give it all up for Ross and a toxic on-again/off-again relationship? She should’ve gotten on that plane." —mo2758 —katherinemarsh2782
Then, the writers put Cordelia in a coma for basically the rest of the show. Charisma Carpenter had gotten pregnant in real life, and series creator Joss Whedon basically wrote her off because he ‘couldn’t think of anything more for her to do.’ She deserved SO much better." —amandac4b39f8d18 It was an incredibly petty exercise in the misogynistic, controlling drama being called out in recent years, particularly by Charisma herself…and then he brought her back to be killed off as a token afterthought. Such a shame." —dingospleen She had such a great relationship with Dave, and, honestly, it still makes me angry that she and Henry never got a real chance. But for her to end up with ZACH — FUCKING ZACH — made me so angry. She never got out of Stars Hollow, her band never went anywhere, and she was using her drums as a drying rack for the laundry. NOT FAIR!" —abbyw4ed16a012 I like to think she got them back, but it would have been so much better if they showed that happening. I want a Chuck movie." —panda_13 Then, she lost her memories and reverted to her former self. The ending hinted she was starting the growth process again, but why wipe out everything she’d gone through?" —aditson All of the episodes that focused on that relationship were confusing. The picnic they had in the cargo bay in the first part of the finale was unwatchable because of how little chemistry was established." —elinumber2
—angels4d4906ef4 I want to believe that Robin and Ted could work things out, but…what if there’s another great opportunity for her somewhere else? Ted wanted the ‘coffee commercials’ life, and Robin does not strike me as that person. And telling all of that to your kids to justify dating their aunt? Plus, their mom dying?" —wherearetheyellowtomatoes
—wherearetheyellowtomatoes But also…the show did the exact same thing with Bernadette." —birdieebee It’s not to say they couldn’t have left the door open to the possibility of parenthood (Leonard obviously wanted it, so the discussions would have continued), but it felt lazy to disregard all the character development she’d had in later seasons and just have her get pregnant unexpectedly." —micahdr I get that they cancelled the show (and I’m holding out for another streaming service to save it), but they could’ve given her the happy ending she definitely deserved!" —cadams16 However, in the finale season, she abandoned her fiancé and daughter. Then she was called unethical and racist, and the friend whose life she saved basically said she was no better than an addiction. The writers retconned everything they’d ever written about the character." —natasha0726 It just doesn’t make any sense, since it had zero effect on the storyline, and the actor wasn’t even in the final season. The showrunners made the last season so unpleasant to watch that they lost about a million viewers." —jennymurray0001 Then, they then made her out to be an unethical doctor who would have run a biased, racist trial, even though, again, Helen was no longer part of the show. This storyline was totally unnecessary and offensive for a woman of color who had always advocated for diversity and defended marginalized communities." —theboredfox They turned her into someone completely unrecognizable from the woman she was and continued to trash her character all season, despite her not being on the show. It finally ended with her being accused of racism and vilified even more in order to prop up white characters. Shameful." —kirstyekua
