lonetreadFirst off, when I told my parents afterwards that I wasn't going to be able to sleep, I thought I was exaggerating. Turns out I wasn't. The three parts that really got me in the gut were:
1. Watching A get skewered. Even though he deserved it, it was still sad. (And for the record and clarification, watching A knife W was not sad, it was justice and poetic and beautiful. Now you ought to know who A and W are.)
2. Them letting us think B died. Again. Twice, even. Bastards.
3. That C could have lived if only he'd Gotten On The Stupid Boat, Stupid.
For some reason, the thing with C was what occurred to me afterwards that kept me up last night. Damn it. I mean, I know he had to die, it wouldn't really have made sense otherwise, but I liked him. (I know I'm probably the only one.)
(Note: To be clear, the survivors are X, Y, B, and Z.)
Speaking of people I liked, there was a point somewhere in there -- I want to say it was when A was chasing Z, just before B fell off the damn cliff, lol -- where I seriously said out loud to myself, "I'm not going to like how this ends." And well, even though X & Y survived (I really disliked X and Y; X mostly because X liked Y so much. I really hated Y), and A had to die, it was still a good ending.
Oh, and yeah, I was totally right about A. (For the record, I was 98% sure, and only had my second guess to cover those last two percent. My second guess was, don't laugh, Z. *shrug*)
Finally, slightly OT, "Sigh" made me realize something -- that I probably don't ever really want to see Dexter found out by, say, Rita. Deb, maybe; Lindsay pulled it off in a way I've really enjoyed in the books. But the whole scenario here with A and Z just looked like -- well, like if you switched the actors, it could have been Dexter. I don't know, it was just what I was thinking when I was watching. It freaked me out a little, gotta say.
Oh, oh, oh, and one more thing. D's death scene. Jeeeeeezus. It was a good death scene -- I'm still bitter over 7's, and consoling myself with someone's suggestion in an interview that, maybe, really, W sniped him -- but omg *shudder*. I was sitting there, backed up into the couch, arms crossed over myself, in total bodily retreat, just going "oh shit. fuck. shit. shit. oh fuuuuck." ad infinitum until it was over. *shudder*
And okay, a second thing, too. B in "Gasp". I think the guy playing B thought he was the killer for a while there. It's the only explanation for all those Facial Expressions of Evil he was making, lmao. I was watching that episode until the reveal just thinking, "Um, obviously you're the red herring, not the killer, please stop making those faces. >_<"
I kind of want to watch the series again, now that I know how it all turns out. Caitlin hasn't watched it yet, so maybe I'll get to. :D
