I just read the always sunny topic on the television board and was surprised at the negative feedback this received. Seems like the majority of users hated it, with many calling it the worst episode. Main complaint being "this is too sappy for a comedy show, makes no sense." But to me, that was kind of the point.
Another of my favorite / most memorable scenes from tv is the simpsons episode where homers mom leaves him again and hes looking up at the stars by himself. Similar situation where a comedy delivered an emotional, unexpected scene i saw as a child that still sticks with me. Like i said before, this season was a let down after a stellar season 12, but for them to bring the entire mac character arc full circle in such a powerful (and daring) way that is rarely seen on tv was remarkable.
His struggle with god (the woman) and the distance that was created between them, along with the part where it seems she is about to "strike him" with her leg, but then embraces him in the end telling him "its okay" repeatedly was, just wow. His judgemental shithead dad leaving midway, and frank being moved to tears, finally "getting" mac's struggle was just great. 13 years of mac's character culminating in a spectacular release, that only frank witnessed. Curious to see what happens next season and whether this is addressed with the rest of the gang.
