The Last Man's eyebrows?


I haven't started watching this show yet. I just want to know why does the main lead wear fake bushy eyebrows?

Long story short: In the season 2 finale he had his eyebrows, plus his long hair and beard, totally shaved off (to even out a half-shaved look he had received a few episodes earlier as a prank); and in the s.3 premiere (picking up right where s.2 left off), his wife was having trouble reading the emotions on his face without visible 'brows, so she had him wear fake ones to make it easier.

Ok. Thanks. Thought it was weird at first, but now that actually sounds hilarious.

Yer welcome.  I thought it was a pretty funny look at first, but after the first couple episodes or so I just sorta got used to it and became more wrapped up in wondering where's the story gonna go next.

Same here. I don't really even notice them anymore unless it's a close up on his face. At least they've stopped making the Tandy put your eyebrows on joke.

did Todd ever shave his eyebrows?

Nope, just his head and mustache:

Did anyone else notice Tandy grabbed his eyebrows and quickly stuck them back on prior to running from the shower? haha

reply

Yep, that was pretty great.

reply

 Yup. (Even with his real 'brows not fully grown in yet, I thought he looked so cute without the fake ones.  )

Not necessarily -- the timeline of the show doesn't line up with our real time. It's only been six episodes since Tandy had both eyebrows shaved at the end of s.2; s.3 immediately picked up after that, and each ep since then has probably taken place over only a few days or so.  So unless there's a time-jump in the near future, he might be wearing the fakes for a while... (I seem to recall Will saying his took maybe a month or two to grow out again, so however many eps the show takes to cover that time period in its own timeline, that's how long Tandy will be waiting for his to grow back.)
