Late as always but I'm so so glad you're keeping these up. I was worried everyone had given up on this wonderful show and it was going to go out on a whimper and be forgotten.
I had the same mixed feelings as you going into the episode. Knowing there were only 6 to come I didn't want to dive into it, fearing the end would be unsatisfying.
I'm going to stay positive though. True Detective only had 8 episodes. On top of that it was a new show and it did great both story and quality wise. Children of Earth, Torchwood's third season had six, and it is still considered its best, most masterful season. Having only 6 episodes this season might translate into a tighter, more refined show. We'll have to see.
Is it my shipper goggles or did Peter in this episode flat out admit he loved Neal? And not just "love like my partner/CI." He compared his love for him to Rebecca's, which we know is romantic, and sited his choosing him over El. That's powerful stuff. Fanservice? The truth? Guess we'll never know.
Rebecca, so sad. I don't know how Matt does it but the moment he walked into that room I wanted to wrap him in a blanket and give him hot cocoa. Poor boy was so so hurt by her, more so than he was by Kate. It got worse by her suicide, which I thought was a tad bit cliche and unnecessary.
And ditto on El being pregnant. God forbid there's a happy, functioning couple on TV without babies bouncing around. The American Media's conviction that no human being could live happily unless they pass on their genes is really annoying and baseless. But I could see it as an excuse to bring her back to New York. Question is, why did they send her off to DC in the first place.
Looking forward to the rest of season's dish. It's good to know I still have this place to give people virtual hugs when the time truly comes to say goodbye to the show.
