So I am hooked on this damn show and I don't really know why. So kudos to you HBO for not telling me what I am watching but still getting me to tune in every week to see if maybe I'll get a bread crumb for my efforts.
Last night was no different. I sat down anxiously waiting, hoping for some answers. I mean it's the season finale, right?!? It was ever so slightly a bit of a mind f**k. And by ever so slightly I mean my head went *boom*. All I can say is THANK GOD it was renewed for Season 2.
As depressing as this show is (I mean 2% of the population went *poof* for no reason) I really like it. I've liked it even more since they did that back story episode to show us just how happy or unhappy our main characters were before the departure. I mean when they showed her having the ultrasound and then no more baby. I got a little emotional. That scene slapped me in the face and I suddenly understood WHY she is doing what she is doing. Okay back to the finale. WTF did I watch?!?
Seriously, the whole show I was like OMG...NOOOOO....WHAT...WTF JUST HAPPENED...HOW.... OOOOOOOHHHH...THAT'S HOW ITS ENDING. I am really good usually at picking up on things in a show or book but this one had my head reeling. Connecting the dots was not an option, I felt so slow to keep up. So more kudos for blowing my mind HBO. And they totally tricked me! I was ready to hang the pastor! I was like dammit Matt, what were you thinking!?!!?!? By the way I love Christopher Eccleston in this show. Or maybe I just really like him as an actor...whatever, I like his character. Then crazy bitch showed up and I was all "yep, he's lost his GD mind". And I was so flipping uncomfortable with the intimacy being shown, I seriously looked away because she was forcing herself on him. I almost lost it when he called for his "daddy"...he seemed so defeated and scared. Then HBO went "hahahaaha made ya look". And I shook my fist at the TV and said "dammit HBO". Well maybe not but I probably should have. The rest of the episode was up and down and how in the world...and oh god, oh god what did these crazy MF-er's in white do now! After he saved Jill and Laurie and the thing with the dog, I began thinking maybe crazy Wayne dude can actually grant wishes because it looks like he is getting his family back! Which if a season two is coming how in the world with uh...Nora...adopted son...random baby.
And then it happened...I started tearing up when Nora was saying goodbye. Her narration over the images being shown, it was beautiful and sad. That was the final straw. She was giving up but thanking Kevin and telling him how wonderful he is because even with his flaws, he is pretty damn amazing. And a tad bit sexy. Any way he needs to hear that but she can't give up, she just can't. So I was upset, "no no no, don't take her, I like her, she is a little badass and kind of relatable". She just seemed real. I was so terrified they were going to end it with her suicide I had crawled up the back of my couch with my hand over my mouth trying to get away from that ending. But when she found the baby, I did a hiccup/gasp thing because you could see the moment she realized she couldn't or shouldn't give up. "look what I found" *watery smile* flash to a confused Kevin & Jill, fade to black.
It took me a minute to realize it was over! No, they can't end it like that!!! I still don't know what the eff is going on. What happened?!?!?! I need answers!!! Instead I have a million more questions and now have to wait for Season 2. I think I should read the book...I've heard its amazing but I don't know how closely the show follows the book. Probably not that close if I had to guess.
So brain went *boom*. I still have no idea what is happening but I like some characters so much more and just loathe others. Maybe I should re-watch and see if I missed anything when things went *boom*.
