NBC’s diverse show opened its final episode, taking viewers all the way to Castle in 1235, where abortion was discussed.
“We are now moving on to that deep moment of moral clarity, almost a thousand years ago, which laid such a clear foundation for what our laws should be in 2022,” the show’s announcer said sarcastically.
There we met host Benedict Cumberbatch and cast members Andrew Dismux and James Austin Johnson as medieval nobles.
“As I was cleaning the hole on the side of the castle where the akame and she were falling through the sky in a ditch of human feces, I started thinking about abortion,” said Cumberbatch’s character. “Don’t you think we should make a law against this?”
“You mean, like the law we have against pointed shoes?” Johnson’s character asked.
Cumberbatch’s hero noted that the court must draft a law that “stands the test of time, so that in hundreds and hundreds of years they will look back and say, ‘You don’t need to update this one at all! ! “
Cumberbatch, Dismux, and Johnson began discussing abortion and figuring out how to pass the law.
“Let’s be careful, the worst thing that can happen is for someone to spread this conversation to the city shout,” said the Cumberbatch hero.
Cecily Strong, who played a citizen, then joined the conversation.
“Knock, knock! I’m kidding, we don’t have doors,” she said. “Whatever it was, I was outside watching the sheriff throw leftists into the river, and I couldn’t help but hear you talking about a new law.
Strong’s character then asked if women should have a choice, because “having a baby means a 50% chance of dying.”
“I just don’t understand why you’re so obsessed with this issue,” she added. “Like, what about the fact that no one can read and write and everyone dies of the plague !?”
The Dismukes hero stopped her there and said, “Oh, you think just because I have an active plague means I have to wear a mask? It’s my body, my choice.”
Finally came Kate McKinnon, who plays an exhausted woman with gray hair.
“My God, Oger!” Cumberbatch’s character said in shock.
“No, no, just a woman in her thirties,” McKinnon’s character replied.
Then she explained that she could see the future.
“These barbaric laws will one day be repealed by something called progress,” McKinnon said. “Then, about 50 years after progress, they will say to themselves, ‘Maybe we should undo progress.'”
Then all the characters came together to say the characteristic phrase of the show: “Live … From New York, it’s Saturday night!”
