Reaction: Harper's Island Finale
Okay, now that it's begun to air in the US if my time zone calculations are correct, here's a short reaction to the Harper's Island finale.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SERIOUSLY??!! Okay, Henry being the son of Wakefield was my second option, but also being a secret serial killer all along, training as daddy's protege, and doing it all for his childhood summertime sweetheart/half-sister because of something she said on a beach once when they were kids... SERIOUSLY???
I kind of love it. It's like random plot twist salad, with chunky little croutons of "lol WHUT?" I sat through the entire end grinning like a loon just because it seemed like just such a load of Jekyll-Hyde cracktasticness. They did explain just about everything, sort of point-form, and I'm rather dissapointed Uncle Marty didn't have his own secret plot going on, but oh well, the money got explained (he was going to rescue Malcolm's brewery and be the big hero, aw.)
I'm kind of tempted to rewatch the whole thing for any script hints of it being Henry all along. I think Jim Beaver said in an interview somewhere (Winchester Radio?) that the rest of the actors were not told if they were the killer or when their character was going to die before they got the script for each day, so I wonder if they did the same with the guy who played Henry, or if that actor was given a little more direction. The revisitation of the wedding video at the end was really "ha ha ha I see what you did there!"
It's like shiny sparkly unexpected!psycho serial-killer candy-floss. It's still rotting my brain two days later. Oh, and tigriswolf? If you haven't been watching the series, I think you might want to track down and watch the finale regardless. Father and son serial killer team? ;-)
There. Now. That was the last bit of 'appointment/taping TV' I had for the summer. My VCR is no longer flashing at me to be fed a blank tape. Maybe now I'll make some actual progress on Summergen, hmmm? :-P
But first, Nathan Fillion is forcing me to buy bean dip. Evil bastard.
