It took a few days to digest this final episode. I have to say it was done well and in the great style that lived up to the show's reputation. When the family was sitting around the table at the end, drinking wine and talking about Nate, you felt like the characters grew up and moved on even though it was mostly in the last 24 hours from a five-year running series.
When Clair drove off, it felt hard to see it end. If you have ever taken a long journey to nowhere with no idea of what the future will bring and saying goodbye to the people you love, you know that feeling and how tough it is. Still, something compels us to go. The foreshadowing of everyone's death was different in that we usually end a fictional story leaving us with hope for the characters we leave behind. This showed us finality to these characters and it was painfully beautiful.
As stupid as it sounds, I have been dealing with death, family, mortality, and loads of other issues since my father died last month. It was uncomfortably comforting to watch this show wrap up over the past several weeks and go into these same issues with it's own perspective.
also, i would like to say for the record; "rubber baby buggy bumpers" and that superman could have taken aqua man without even trying.
this is a test comment post. If this had been a real comment. it would involve more words that made sense.
