there are signs that can't be learned

I wish i had posted this during the week, when it was still mildly relevant, even though by the time i watched the episode it was still like four days after it actually aired. I'm just awful at posting to the internet lately (hahahaha "lately"). My brain is a jumbled mess of communication paralysis. All i ever do is fill text files on my computer

Hahaha so going into this i was like "YEAH I'M PROBABLY NOT EVEN GONNA CRY" since this season hasn't been doing much for me emotionally and i wasn't really prepared for it to be over. And then by the end i had tears and snot streaming down my face, so yeah I'M FINE! I'M TOTALLY FINE WITH EVERYTHING RIGHT NOW! My heart has been swallowed by a black hole but I'M FINE!
THIS IS ME. I don't know I didn't expect it to give me EMOTIONS, but there you have it.

And then Peter's silent "I love you, Dad" as Walter left
Gaaaaah, I rewound to watch it again because I wanted to make sure that's what he said. Gaaaaah.

"You are my favorite thing" though, GODDDDDD.
DESTROYED FOREVER. STOLEN FOR MY PLAY.

Olivia killing Windmark was ALL I EVER WANTED OUT OF HER SUPERPOWERS, badass righteous vengeance shutting down the power in an entire city and smashing two cars together with her mind.
And then Michael confirming that that's why she had to go through all those shenanigans to get him back.

Ultimately s2-3 will always be the high points, and i'll

I was doing somewhat okay until the Peter/Walter videotape scene too, but then holycrap, THIS:

"You are my favorite thing" though, GODDDDDD. All their crying was so good and you can tell that it was the actors losing it for real AND THAT JUST MAKES IT SADDER.

Heart explosions. Walter has delivered some truly heart-wrenching material over the years but somehow, this simple line got to me more than all of them combined. And there's just no faking those kinds of tears!
