Continuing our popular series, "Learned Analysis of Discontinued TV Series Whilst Awaiting The Trump DEATH":
Dear Alexis continues to grow. She had the idea for the town council arts and crafts grant. The council accepted it, but over the discouragement of Moira, her mother. Moira poo-poohed Alexis' proposal to her face and then went to the council meeting who approved it, to Moira's jealousy. Who, characteristically, sterotypically for a Jewish mother, puts down any idea by her daughter. And then, when council enthusiasm was expressed, insinuated herself into being co-chair of the project, a Single's Week, with her eye, always, on stealing Alexis' idea.
Alexis visited Mutt, vacillated about staying for fire water, took a few sips, refused Mutt's attempt to seduce her and left. "I have something I have to do." She went to Ted's veterinary clinic and movingly confessed, "I love you. I'm in love with you." I hope that this is not where this is going, to Ted and Alexis' marriage. That would be a fault in the screenplay. The Ted character truly is too boring for Alexis. I have not watched ahead but I could not help but see that the final episode is David marrying Patrick, and Alexis giving David away; Alexis, not Moira. Darling, little Alexis will find a good man. Won't she? I don't know how Eugene and Dan Levy wrote the ending for Alexis but it sure doesn't look like marriage.
The Moira character has not grown in almost all episodes through season four. She is discouraging of anything her daughter does or suggests and failing that is actively sabotaging her. Moira lives in her past as a floozy C-list actress which her imagination inflates to a modest B-list actress. That was her ceiling. She can't even do that now. Can't even get through a 30 second wine commercial without flubbing lines and being asked to leave the set. She was never an appealing character but she was funny. Her character has ossified and she is increasingly less funny.
Surprisingly, since he is based on the real Dan Levy, the David character has not grown. He is not really competent, is relentlessly sky-is-falling negative; has always been dependent on Patrick to make the trains run on time in the business, and on his baby sister to prevent the store being run off with by Townie gypsy thieves, and to close the biggest deal in the store's history, and on Stevie to talk him off the ledge. David has become less appealing as the series goes on as Alexis has become the responsible one, the take-charge one, the one to fulfill Jocelyn's statement to Moira that "Alexis is the most talented person I have ever met."
Alexis seems best poised to redeem and advance the family name and the Alexis Rose character most likely to succeed as the screenplay’s most vibrant, living creation.
