nothing is irreversible
THANK YOU FOR BEING EXACTLY WHAT THE BSG FINALE WAS NOT.
I thought it was beautifully done and incredibly moving. And while parts of it (okay, a lot of it) didn't necessarily make sense or answer all the questions we wanted answered, it was gripping and heartbreaking. I loved that they made it about the characters, rather than trying to jam in perfunctory answers to all the questions the writers had created throughout the seasons. I felt like that was the problem with the BSG finale, and it was so dissatisfying.
I felt satisfied by this ending. I ADORED that the Sideways world turned out to be purgatory. I LOVED IT. I thought that was absolutely perfect, and every single one of the characters realization/revelation was lovely. In particular I thought Kate and Charlie and Claire's shared moments were wonderful.
JULIET.
And of COURSE Jack would be the very last one to be able to come to terms with his own death, the very last holdout. I really liked that Kate made him start to remember and he trusted and remembered her enough to go with her to the church, but that his father was the one who made him really remember and finally be able to let go.
And every time I get annoyed at Jack's martyr complex, Matthew Fox goes and reminds me what a FUCKING AMAZING ACTOR he is. Like, damn, he just knocked every single scene out of the park this episode. Especially in the church with Christian. You could literally SEE the weight and pain lifted off his shoulders.
But I didn't start really crying until Vincent ran up and lay down next to Jack, so he wouldn't be alone. VINCENT. OMJESUS. BECAUSE DOGS REALLY DO THAT. AUGH. The tears, they're coming. I LOVED the symmetry of the ending, with Vincent in the bamboo forest and the plane overhead and Jack's eye closing. So lovely.
UH. NOW WHAT.
