Season Finale Time - Why Do We Have to Say Goodbye?

This seems to be the year for sad character exits.


Dear Fringe,

WTF?!

What is it with you and breaking my heart at every opportunity?! I mean, last season there was the whole 'bacon' incident which I am still attempting to recover from. Now this year, you first of all kill off Olivia by having Walternate shoot her point blank and then show poor, beloved Peter suffering over the death of his wife.

Then, you give me false hope by having Future!Peter make the ultimate sacrifice and send back his memories to Present!Peter, which then leads to the two universes merging, so to speak, which is all awesome (except for the little fact that the holes in the universes are now worse). And then, you ruin it by making it so Peter never existed now that his purpose is completed. Which, looking past my rage that you did that to Peter, leaves me utter confused. As far as my understanding goes (and I admit that I missed the majority of this season due to school), Peter was the inciting incident to everything in the world of Fringe - without Peter, none of the events would have occurred - so how exactly do the writers plan to explain that?

More importantly, how is Peter going to come back?


Dear Community,

Annie gets such intense scenes with the most awesome people - there was the almost kiss with Don Draper, the sex with the Elf maiden and now an awesome kiss with Han Solo. I seriously love Annie and Abed's 'romantic' moments - here's hoping that they end up with more role-playing roles in the future.

Needless to say, I loved the two-part finale - from the Western to the Star Wars theme. Unlike the initial paintball episode in the first season, we got to see all of the study group being kickass and saving the day in their own ways. There were so many great moments, but I'm still giggling over Leonard saying that he was in several wars and none of them scared him like the paintball war of Greendale. I also loved the fact that the television provider was kind enough to give us the first fifteen minutes without commercials.


Dear Bones,

I haven't watched this show faithfully in so long, but I found myself watching yet again out of nostalgia. Thanks for that huge punch to the heart strings. It's not even the season finale and already I'm bawling out my eyes and remembering why I loved this show so much because it was always about the people and the team and their reactions to death and their various ways of honouring the dead and their lives.

I can't believe that they killed Vincent. I didn't even realize that he was my favourite of the interns until he was bleeding to death and begging to be allowed to stay. His "Don't make me go" won him the most heartbreaking character exit of the year.
