Scott takes off, as a result of, in fact—nearly as rapidly established because it’s launched—he doesn’t actually die preventing Matthew on the finish of the primary episode. It’s finally revealed to the viewers, and thru Ramona’s personal investigation over the course of the season, that Scott has been kidnapped… by none apart from his future self (performed by Will Forte in a pleasant flip), one who wooed Ramona, defeated all her exes, after which dated her earlier than rising aside, and changing into distant and bitter within the course of.
So his plan is just about to kidnap his previous self, present him what a horrible individual he’s, after which blame it on Ramona to try to twist younger Scott into by no means courting her within the first place. Which would be attention-grabbing, however then Takes Off layers in a twist that Future Scott laces his previous self with nanomachines that forestall him from with the ability to kiss Ramona, organising a giant battle between everybody and a hulked-out Future Scott on the finish that may be very visually enjoyable however… simply type of a bizarre sideways jaunt.
The entire level of Future Scott rising other than Future Ramona was his personal communication points and unwillingness to really speak to individuals, so the truth that Takes Off nearly has to finish with a giant scrap as a substitute of navigating that in a extra nuanced method is a bit disappointing.
