The Last Man On Earth Season Finale: 10 Big Questions That Need Answering
3. Does Phil Really Want To Be With Carol?
Phil's song and Carol's decision to be with him was one of the more satisfying endings to a series that often provokes its fans into resenting the lead character. Phil and Carol just seem right together. Or do they?
Phil always found Carol so annoying. From the very first time that she scolded him for ending his sentences in a preposition, they have clashed. He resented her for her raisin balls and how much she made him follow the laws of the road when virtually every other driver no longer existed.
Conversely, while Carol always seemed so innocent she was way too hard on Phil. She demanded the vows of marriage before she'd have the party on the Posturepedic with him, but got down with new Phil with no strings attached. What gives?
The two desperately needed a fresh start, but how bad does Phil really want to be with her? His feelings for her grew after seeing her become more romantically engaged with new Phil, but it was never explored how genuine those feelings were. Did he really realize what he was missing out on or did he just want what he couldn't have?
