2. I mean I know we got to see Mary-Louise versus Celeste and Mary-Louise versus Renata and Mary-Louise versus Madeline and Renata versus the trains and Jane versus her bangs, but you brought this whole entire ass show back just to conclude it with a group of white women escorting a black woman to prison?

3. The same black woman whose only narrative purpose in season 1 besides โ€œbe a Lululemon mannequin and occasionally crochet crystals while men ogle herโ€ was to save Celesteโ€™s life?

4. And then you just had her mom die?

5. The same mom you wrote to be abusive, as if โ€œLetโ€™s have Bonnieโ€™s mom be a 50-something black woman who is also maybe a witchโ€ wasnโ€™t enough?

6. This is how you treat her?

7. And you know sheโ€™s going to prison now, right?

8. I mean, in a just world she shouldnโ€™t, of course, but sheโ€™s a) a black woman who b) killed a white man and then c) allowed those white women to convince her to be the fulcrum of a criminal motherfucking conspiracy, and you know how that probably ends for her, right?

9. SO EVERY PRINCIPAL CHARACTER GETS A HAPPY-ISH ENDINGโ€”CELESTE KEEPS THE KIDS; MADELINE RENEWS HER VOWS WITH ADAM SCOTTโ€™S CHIN; JANE GETS A PONYTAIL; AND RENATA PLAYS BASEBALLโ€”EXCEPT FOR THE ONLY BLACK WOMAN, DAVID E. KELLY?

10. If you bring back this show for a third season (Donโ€™t!!!) and it starts with Bonnie in prison or Bonnie just getting out of prison and hugging her cute but mute daughter, do you know that Iโ€™m going to break into your house and melt down each of your Emmys into big little sparkling flasks?
