This is not a bad payoff but the setup was far too long.

I'm also impressed by the fact that there's actual backgrounds, actual physical things they're interacting with.

But I feel compelled to note that the last time they were in present-day they were on an isolated tropical beach, and now they're at some lake where it's warm. Just how much traveling do they do? Especially as this scene could be set anywhere. It could be set in Central Park. It could be set in their living room. It could be set at a party where people are talking about how they learned about sex (a frequently hilarious conversation). Instead they are isolated, occupied only with each other. No friends, no family members - including their own kids.

Which, I mean... we had an entire extended story line about how badly they want to conceive children and the final (?) scene is them as adults who have children but the children aren't there.
