The season finale of #TheChi was crazy. We had multiple deaths of longtime characters. We saw some people come together in ways we couldn't have imagined. And we had both new heroes and new villians m

ove up their respective ladders. Here are my 5 big takeaways from the end of Season 6.

#1. This Is One Sloppy Neighborhood - I know we have suspend disbelief for the sake of the show, but there are a lot of connections that just don't make sense. You have Papa at a his the Pastor of his

Dad's rival church. Jake is messing around with that Pastor's wife. Keisha's baby Daddy killed Tiff's man. Keisha had Thanksgiving at Tiff's place moments before Tiff's man was killed by said Baby Da

ddy. Shad is dating Tiff's dead boyfriend's mom. Oh, Jemma went to the Thanksgiving with the rival Pastor because her man is having sex with the Pastor's wife. And last, but not really last, the Pasto

r's daughter is dating the right-hand man of the the guy who killed the boyfriend of Tiff, who's ex-husband used to employ Papa, who also use to the date the Pastor's daughter. You see what I mean?

#2. Douda Will Kind of Be Missed - I know everyone wanted Douda to go, but me personally, I wanted him to stick around for a bit. I'm actually not sure how this show can go on without him. He was the

reason everybody had drama. It's really an indictment on the writers that he was pretty much the only straw stirring the drink. Now, it looks like somebody else will have to take his place, but the sh

ow hasn't really done a great job of setting up another character to be all that. For example, while I know everyone wanted Stringer Bell killed in "The Wire", the show wasn't the same without him. Th

at show did a good job of expanding its scope the following season (4), but season 5 proved they couldn't last long without a truly diabolical, smart, villain. I think we may see the same in The Chi..

.unfortunately.

#3. Will We Get Fun Emmett Back? - I remember when Emmett's character was just about the jokes. Whether he was climbing in Keisha's window, helping J with his food truck, or dealing with one of his ba

by mama's, he brought the comic relief. Now it feels like he's been running for his life for about 3 seasons, and everytime I see him I get anxious about what wrong move he's going to make next. With

Douda dead, hopefully, we can see him bring some of the humor—much in the same way his dad's character has brought the comic relief.

#4. Can Victor Rise to The Occassion? - I really didn't like what came of "Trig's" character this last half of the season. He didn't accomplish anything. He didn't set Douda straight. He didn't fix th

e city as a politician. He didn't even really keep tabs on his messy brother, Jake. He was supposed to be the Douda-turned-good guy on the show, and he's been failing in every way as of late. And it's

not even a respectable fall—he just seems to be getting caught up in a very uneventful manner. I'm hoping there's a comeback for him in Season 7, even though, it seems to be setting up for something

else...

#5. Nuck vs. Alicia - I don't how I feel about the decision to let Nuck take out Douda, especially when Alicia was so close to doing it herself (and I'm not even going to comment on how corny and non-

transparent it was that Alicia was in a position to kill Douda). The show has been (poorly) hinting at the new female triumvirate of Tiff, Alicia and Bianca. I thought it would've been great to let th

em get the dirty work done, and have them actually become the trouble-makers for the South Side. Instead, they opted for something much more tried and true, which is the #2 taking out Douda and drummi

ng a potential rivalry between good and evil, Alicia and Nuck, after Nuck killed Alicia's son, Rob (Iman Schumpert). It certainly is the more soap-opera-y route to take, but if they were really trying

to make the new big 3 huge movers in the show, there was a better way.
