Ted/Tad: I'm glad Ted finally has someone, but... I don't know. Something about Tad rubs me the wrong way. I don't know what it is, I just feel like there's something... bad about to happen. I mean, he's convincing Ted to drop the birthday dinner even though he was looking forward to it, and all. That alone is enough to make me kind of dislike him. blah. I think my problem with him is that he's so possessive, and guys that are that possessive always seem to be one step away from controlling their partners, and then that ends up being one step away from abusing their partners (either verbally or physically. Or both). I kept expecting to see Tad try to control Ted, even if he didn't go to the extreme of physically abusing him, and I think the end with them kind of was like that. At least, to me.
Drew/Emmett: Aw. I loved Drew/Emmett. I mean, I wanted to punch Drew for kissing another guy, but I still loved their relationship. I had hoped they'd end the series together, but that doesn't look likely now. Oh well.
Hunter: ...ok, I don't really have anything to say about him, except that I adore him and I'm so glad he's back. And he's going to school! Yay for Hunter.
Melanie/Lindsay: I thought it was kind of obvious that Michael would end up agreeing to let them go and Brian would want to keep Gus. Just from everything Justin said to Brian and Michael's expression throughout that dinner with Ben, Hunter, Debbie, and Carl. I don't know. That last Brian/Lindsay scene was totally awwww-worthy, though. Poor Brian. I didn't really think Melanie was being fair to Brian when he told them he wanted Gus to say. I know that she and Lindsay both expected Brian to be fine with it and Michael to have the problems with it, but it was still pretty shitty of her to be like "Eh, it's ok Michael, we expected that from you," but then to Brian "WHAT THE HELL? YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO SAY NO EVEN THOUGH WE SAID YOU COULD TOTALLY SAY NO AND I WAS JUST FINE WITH MICHAEL SAYING NO!"
Brian/Justin: The first scene! guh. And all their reactions were awesome. I loved Ted's spitting out his drink, and Debbie's line that Brian must've knocked Justin up. hee. And Jennifer's. Aw. That was awesome. And them dancing. So sweet. And Justin looks so much happier, so less blah. I did notice that Brian said at least once, if not twice, about the marriage that it was what would make Justin happy. I think that sets it up well for why Brian would suddenly propose to Justin and makes it more in character, even if the last episode made it seem like he was doing a 180.
Oh, man, next week is the finale! I can't believe I've only been watching this show since May. It seems like it's been so much longer. I'll be so sad when it ends. :(
guh. WHY DID THIS SHOW HAVE TO BE CANCELLED?!
First off, I totally shipped George/Mason from the very first episode, so I really didn't enjoy all the Daisy/Mason-ness. I grew to like Daisy more throughout the season (really disliked her when she was first introduced), but... just as long as she wasn't with Mason. Actually, I was fine when they seemed to be just friends and there was no mention of Mason's crush on her, but still. I had really hoped George and Mason would get together by the end. Oh well. =/
The saddest death of all = J.D.'s death. I almost started tearing up at that. I really liked J.D. :( But hee, J.F. Awesome.
Man, seriously. My thoughts are so incoherent on this because... there's so much going on and geez, why did it have to be cancelled? I'm glad this show got 2 seasons when a show like Wonderfalls was cancelled after four fucking episodes (yes, I am still bitter about that, even though it's been over a year. I don't think I'll ever get over that), but on the other hand... when watching the DVDs of Wonderfalls, after the 13 episodes, it seemed over. Like... I don't know. Complete. There were loads of stories that could've still been told, but it was fine being ended where it was. With Dead Like Me, even after two seasons, I felt like there was so much more that needed to be told. It didn't feel complete to me. So I guess that pisses me off about the cancellation the most.
Oh, but that reminds me. This show really reminded me of Wonderfalls in a lot of ways. That's not very surprising, as Bryan Fuller created and was executive producer on Dead Like Me and he was also executive producer on Wonderfalls. For all I know, he also created Wonderfalls, but I didn't check that. Not the plotlines or premise or anything, just a lot of the little things.
uh. Ok. I don't know what else to say. I just wish that it hadn't been cancelled. :( I may have more coherent, intelligent thoughts at another time.
