why was the last scene ever so iconic? i never saw the show, but goddamn if i don't love "breathe me"

[pandancer]

for so long after I watched the finale I couldn't listen to Breathe Me without crying

[presidentmlissa]

me too

[anime_fanatic19]

oh yeah, me three

[hotel]

well, it was a show that revolved around people dying and the last scene shows how each of the main characters die.

[rev0lution_cry]

that actually sounds really well done, i'm gonna check this show out at some point! thank you!

[hotel]

It is, it was the perfect ending for the show. Also the actors are great and play the characters really well thoughout the show, you can't help but feel attached to all of them, flaws and all.

this comment makes me want to watch it bc i love actors who can act well! thank you for letting me know =)

[pandancer]

this. Also, it was the way it played out as well, I believe. Between the final scenes and the obituaries they posted on the site later on, you didn't just see how each of them died but how each of them lived out their lives and eventually overcame (or didn't) the struggles we saw them deal with throughout the seasons, even if it was in brief intervals.

And it was all while witnessing one of the main characters finally leave her family and life behind to go on a journey where she would finally find herself. Her imagining Nate running alongside her car as she was driving away? That kills me every time

[hotel]

aw man, this comment makes me want to rewatch the whole thing!

[pandancer]

aww, join me in crying over my rewatch sis!!

[totalrecoil]

"eventually overcame (or didn't) the struggles we saw them deal with"

This is cracking me up because it's reminding me of Brenda literally being talked to death. So fitting.

[pandancer]

LOL I'm not gonna lie, that is the first thing I thought of while I was typing that.

[soelusive]

this comment just made me realize how much I need to rewatch.

I unknowingly spoiled myself by watching the series finale of Parks & Rec before starting SFU.

LOL did they have a reference to it?! I never did finish the finale
