The highs and the lows of 3.3

Oct 01, 2012 23:10

Okay, I know we've already flailed a bit on my last post, but I thought I'd do another 'recap' and and some other thoughts about the rest of the eppy. Because, other than the epic parts, there were some other fun moments and some heartbreaking ones.

warnings: spoilers, bitchiness and much squeeing )

Oh my yes. When even Mrs. Patmore ships you, it's a done deal. I'll admit it is worrying that no one went into Clarkson's office with her. And I thought the nurse gave Elsie a rather pitying look as she called her in. But, we all know JF has ADHD. I mean, he has already invested 3 eps in this cancer scare. He does like to drop things: remember the possible Patrick return from season 2? Also, much has been made over Elsie appearing to sob at the end. Hopefully they are tears of relief and wonder that CHarles could care for her so deeply. I mean singing about stealing hearts. Oy!

JF would be mad to get rid of PL or JC though. I mean, how could you replace Mrs Hughes? It would be so crap without her!

I love the Mrs P and Mrs H friendship. I still say it's come about because they are friends in rl. They have such a natural way about them. And who would not want your bestie to be happy with a 'nice man' like Carson!

Oh yeah, dropping storylines... Not only Patrick, there's Richard, Evelyn, so many others... And then, just to be annoying, he drags some out for years (Pamuk... groan...)

I didn't get that she was sobbing, more that she was laughing and trying to hold it back in. But I was squeeing so much, I feel like I need to study it again!

I literally have just blacked out the whole rest of the episode because my shippy heart exploded so badly so I'm glad someone reviewed it, haha.

At this point I have watched the last 5 seconds of the episode over and over to determine if she's lying. I don't know. I think I may have steeled my heart though just in case she is.

At the very very very least though - we have that end scene of him and his happy lovey dove state; and that's more than we have ever had.

LOL. Even without the shippy parts I found it a very enjoyable episode. I'm so pleased season 3 seems to be back on track. I couldn't cope with another season 2.

I don't think they played it like she was lying. If she is, she's also lying to Mrs P. I think I'm just being overly cautious. I don't want to be shattered if that is the case.

I wanted him to turn up too. I was praying and praying for it but once he did that singing I forgot all about it. I'm still over excited by the entire ep. Fangirl buzz is riding high. LOL

I've been rewatching the series with bugsfic and they're such an old married couple and such good friends if JF hadn't done something with the cancer scare, I would have been very disappointed. As it was, I was very very delighted! LOL!
