So, "The X Factor" winning single hasn't done that well in the charts - only entering at number 9 and with selling figures that aren't that great. This series was very weak though with falling viewing figures, a forgettable winner and a boring winners single I guess it was bound to happen. It's a shame for Louisa but maybe it's showing that shows like "The X Factor" have had their day? Or maybe sales will pick up in the week leading up to Christmas?
In other news: on Friday night I watched:
Haven 5x25 & 5x26 (series finale) - so we'd reached the point where this show was gonna end and even though I don't think this season has been as strong as some it's still quite sad to see this show end. I thought it was a fairly satisfying ending though and these two episodes wrapped things up pretty well.
It was horrible that Duke had to die but his sacrifice was very in character for him, I thought and he managed to change that destiny he'd always been worried about. The scene when he begged Nathan to kill him was quite sad but I was almost glad that Nathan did what Duke asked him to do. Nathan was always that kind of loyal character though, I guess. I thought Nathan was gonna shoot him so was surprised at the actual method off death. It seemed quite brutal. I did like that we saw ghost Duke during his interactions with Dwight though.
I liked the way the Nathan and Audrey stuff played out - and I liked that the show recognised how important their pairing was. Of course, Audrey had to make the ultimate sacrifice too and I liked that Nathan knew it had to happen and didn't try and fight her on it (like he had done in previous episodes). Their final scene was heartbreaking and Lucas Bryant played it really well.
I thought the final scene of Nathan meeting Paige the exact way he'd meet Audrey all those episodes ago was quite bittersweet. Everything was sad but almost happy at the same time.
Needless to say that by the end of the final episode I was crying. Even though I think it was time for this show to end I'm really gonna miss it, and all these characters I'd grown to love. I'm happy though with the way everything ended.
In other other news: Going out this afternoon with friends for our Christmas meal (if this uncomfortable feeling in my chest goes away). Sometimes I really have to force myself to be sociable.
