now that was a finale!
I saw the finale yesterday. Had to write up some thoughts.
R.I.P. Mitchell. :( That really breaks my heart. I probably should have seen it coming. After all, they put Mitchell/Annie together, and it did seem a bit rushed, but I loved it! I've shipped them since season one and I wasn't sure if they were ever going to be together, but then they WERE and then...yeah. :/
I've had to watch season three on YouTube (BLESS YOU YOUTUBE PEOPLE. I LOVE YOU). I pretty much mainlined the whole season in a few weeks. And BBC America on demand has some of the first two seasons up (why do they hate the fourth eps? urgh- so I've been surrounded by bh for a bit now). So, I before the finale I joined two bh LJ groups, just in time for the sadness. Great timing, self! :p
Upon joining, I heard that AT was leaving- but since I'm a noob to the whole bh fandom, I didn't think anything of it. I didn't really think they'd off him.
I squeed so hard when they kissed. When Lia said that they he had a torch for her and they'd be cute together...and then Annie seeming to think hmmm... I was so STOKED. And then his conversation with George. How he suspected she fancied him and the whole how can we have sex thing. <3 goober.
Then the kiss, and the awkwardness and then the <3. I was so happy. (and foolish.)
I cried my eyes out over the line- "you're the love of my long life." *HEART BROKEN* That destroyed my soul. And then she told him the same. GAH.
I was so glad that even though she was confused and angry, she still loved him. I really hope she crosses over and gets to be with him. I can't see it ending any other way
Like. right now their love is on pause, but soon they will meet up again and finally be able to be happy and together forever.
They'll both be ready for each other. *sighs* is that too much to ask?
I really should have seen it coming. My ships ALWAYS end in disaster. Seven times now I have seen one half of my ship die. It's gotten to the point where I find it both amusing and frustrating. Geez, can't I have ONE happy couple?
Maybe it's cause I got it all in one lump, or because I never really thought to hard about this show, but the one thing I'll take from this season is Mitchell/Annie. It's going to be the first thing that pops into my mind. I'm okay with that. I really liked this season.
I don't have any deep thoughts on the mytharc. So I can't really comment but I wasn't shocked with that took place in season two. I mean, the man was a vampire after all. Is it really that shocking that he gave into the bloodlust? I mean, he held out for so long and that's admirable, but what he was...he didn't have any time off. He had to go against his nature. I think his story probably would have always ended like this. That doesn't excuse what he did, but I understand why it happened.
I think Annie had an easier time of accepting his death (the kitchen scene) cause he stopped being *her* Mitchell. She told Lia as much. The man before them was no longer the happy friend back in season one. He was too far gone. If he had still been Mitchell, I think she would have been against it. But I understand where she was coming from. He was a stranger. (though, basically all of season two he had pulled away from them. It wasn't that hard to see coming. Especially since Lia put that paranoia in his head. He had a very narrow minded view and it cost him. :(
I'm glad that Nina was saved. Her and the baby. I hope that she and George have a good life. I think those two are the only ones who could. Annie will have to cross over at some point. She would have a very lonely existence otherwise. She can't have a life, Mitchell couldn't, so I hope that they do. <3
He broke me apart, his reaction when he thought Nina was dead. I sincerely hope they win some kind of award. I'd totally give them a Emmy over here! :p
I don't want them to forget Mitchell. I'd love to see a few moments when they remember. I'm glad they could remember him doing the right thing. Maybe George can tell his child about his "Uncle Mitchell" after all.
I still want to watch next season. I am curious to see where they will go. I love Annie and George's friendship :)
All I ask is that when the finale comes around (the final ep ever) please let Annie cross over to Mitchell. It will make me bawl my eyes out, but it would be closure. I could deal with this season finale better.
R.I.P. Mitchell. You were funny, sweet, loyal, a big old bucket of angst and fucked up ness, and I'll miss you.
(now to get this freakin' season on my tv. grrr)
