Wrap-Up:
Me, Myself & I certainly closed out on a high note. I would go as far as to say that this was the show's best episode yet, serving as a great series ender. Everything was done very well, with some hilarious moments as well as some deeply touching ones. My personal favorite story this week was 2042, because it was what the show has been leading up to the whole time. Alex and Eleanor finally getting together was a spectacular (though not unexpected) way to end the show. While I would have loved to see the continued adventures of Alex Riley, I'm honestly okay with saying goodbye here. Farewell Alex, Eleanor, Darryl, Ron, Justin, and the entire MM&I cast. I will most certainly miss you.
Score: 10/10
Grade: A+
