Being alive and feeling alive just isn't the same (or, all the ways Sam Tyler broke my little heart)

[nekare]

That goes without saying, but I loved it. Loved this episode, loved the series, loved the characters, loved the way it's told, and filmed, and the way it sounds. EVERYTHING. My love, it is big. ♥

all I knew was that Sam would jump off the roof
I went in knowing the same thing, and it still worked. I was thinking WTFWTF throughout the episode. THAT is good.

The song brings so much more to the story and the feeling of that ending. It's perfection.

I keep thinking that it ended up being a lot like Neverwhere, which is my favorite book ever, so of course I liked the finale. :p

[nekare]

Yes! I love a show that keeps me questioning myself and that doesn't give anything away. ♥

It so is. I can't think of another moment in which it would've fitted better than that one, oh no. *sings along*

I thought of that as well, and it's so archetypical, isn't? The hero comes home after yearning after it for time on end only to realize his life there is mediocre and unfulfilling. Hehe, favoritest book ever? Cool, my favorite of Neil's is Amerian Gods (or if one can consider it a book, then Sandman).

Exactly! Otherwise, why watch? Unless it continues to never give me any sort of answer or data to move forward. Then I just can't be arsed to keep watching.

It is! But then I tend to link my favorite things to other good things so Neverwhere was about to come up. I think I posted about Sam being Richard, Annie was Door and Gene was the Marquis de Carabas. It worked out sooo pretty too. Hahaha.

I haven't finished American Gods yet. I think I have about 20 more pages to go. I kinda don't want to finish it, but then I have Anansi Boys waiting for me. :p

That... sounds oddly remniscent of Lost. Brilliant at first, it just got TIRESOME after a while. *shrug* And that's why LoM is so incredibly good - it just has the perfect balance between ever constant mystery and giving answers.

Oh man, it DOES fit! Especially Sam being Richard although not as... loser-y, lol.

...And I JUST realized that the girl that plays Door in the miniseries, Laura Fraser, is Henriette in Casanova. I KNEW I'd seen her before, lol. Woah, what a fandom mixup, though XD

Fiiiiinish it. It's so very awesome. (And I kept on giggling madly while reading Anansi Boys, heee.)

[mellafe]

It is. I hate Lost now. As long as it's going somewhere, it's worth it, but Lost just kept going further and further and it got to a point where nobody knew what was happening and no answers were coming so I stopped watching.

Richard is not a loser! WTF?! *pokes*

I didn't know she was Door when I watched, so that was a surprise. Still, too old. Haha.

I will. I will.

[nekare]

Ugh, yeah, it got so damn repetitive and annoying and JACK, oh man, he's the king of annoying and it got to the point where I was only watching for Sawyer and went 'ugh, this can't be happening' and gave up on it altogether. *shrug*

He's not now, you have to admit he was a major loser before he met Door... And then he became the kick ass Richard we all know and love. *g*

A bit of a secret: I never did finish the miniseries. I watched the first episode, and... part of the second one? I'M NOT SURE. I just got... distracted, I think, and then I'd already lost the links. o_O Oh well. It was too 90s for my tastes ANYWAY, lol.

[mellafe]

OH, ok. Got it. Yeah, he was. Haha.

OMGMETOO!!!! First episode, part of the second one and stopped. It was so baaaaaaaaaaaaad. I hate the guy they picked to play Richard and Door was too old, and the Marquis was strange and I just didn't like it at all. I want to watch it again and see if I can digest it, but I'm not holding my breath on that one. haha.
