Why go out of your way to insult fans of a show you don't care for?
Regardless of ratings, because of its history SNL is still considered an institution and there is zero chance it'll face cancellation prior to its 50th year.
Eh I doubt it will go anywhere for a few years. My guess is Lorne Michaels will be hanging it up after the 50th season along with a lot of the more veteran cast members and then the network will decide on the show's fate. I like a lot of the current performers but imo the show plays it too safe now. I'm also not even sure what ratings mean anymore considering the changes in the way people watch television shows now (I watch the show on Hulu the day after every week).
Also mostly liked the show but I had the same exact thought. I guess the theory is he felt that the kidnappers had so badly destroyed his reputation by branding him an abuser/murderer online that he thought the only way to reemerge would be to go to the police with his catfisher to explain he was innocent. It's really pretty flimsy and that he even knew where she lived (a woman from work twice his age, seems odd he'd know) and was released close enough that he could walk there in his beat up (not to mention hungry/thirsty) state without stopping anywhere else also seems pretty weak.
I don't think the dating app aspect was fleshed out enough but from what I gathered, he signed up for the dating app but never actually had it in him to follow through on an actual affair. The exchange the catfish stumbles upon before taking over his identity is:
Mandy: Hey Nick, did you get my pics?
Nick: I did! Looks like a blast. And can I say you look amazing in a bikini.
Mandy: I'm happy to show you more if you are so inclined ;)
Mandy: Haven't heard from you lately...?
Mandy: What's been happening?
So based on that, I see Nick as a man who had his moments of weakness but when it was on the brink of the point of no return he walked away from the app and didn't respond to a woman who was very obviously into him. Like I said they could've done a better job fleshing this out and showing Nick at conflict with himself.
