Medium Finale
I'm going to pretend it did not air. that the show got cancelled after 7x12 - a good, solid, standard episode.
the finale? sth special? better yet sth jarring.
I can understand the beauty of ending the show with Allison and Joe meeting as ghosts to enter their eternal life together.
Allison: You waited.
Joe: Of course.
it was beautiful. poignant. but they could've arrived at that scene with 40 years later for joe and then a year later for allison - or even a day later - which would've been much more consistent with the heart of the show.
the family was the heart of the show. not the ghostly stories of the week. not the paranormal but the very normal.
thus, I refuse to believe that ep even exists and am fine to consider s7 cut short at 12.
thank you for 6 wonderful years and this uneven last batch of episodes.
btw, what's the point of having Ariel in an episode just to see her on the phone with a big belly as a show of time?! like that's the only way to show progress of time with an intelligent woman like Ariel.
Bridget, while not a show stealer like her older on screen sibling - you gotta admit when Ariel left and they tried eps with Bridget being the main gal, they didn't quite work - her absence was sure felt in this last ep.
uneven final conclusion to a wonderfully heartfelt show about family, commitment, love and understanding - and dreams.
