WonderCon 2015: The Last Man on Earth
We were asked not to reveal details of the episode of The Last Man on Earth that we just watched so I won’t. But my complaints about the lead character’s limited and narrow motivation remain. But I can talk about the panel. Specifically the question of where all the dead bodies are. They were in the original script, it turns out, but it was decided that corpses weren’t funny to enough people. Not the most intriguing answer but we did get the tidbit that Phil’s prayer to God in the pilot is a leftover from a scene where he buries the former occupant of the house he moves into. Having a panel of funny people (Will Forte, Phil Lord, Chris Miller) always makes for a good time. And, despite my complaints, the show still has plenty of laughs.
