I like Alex especially when she became a ghost and started annoying Hal, . Hal just cracked me up with his interactions with her, . those 2 just have firecrackers exploding when they're in a scene together. I like her enough to stick around BUT I don't want Annie to leave either. She's the only one left from the original and although she annoys me sometimes, the fact that she's getting wiser and braver makes me want to know more about her. I do get the feeling that her door will come once she kills Eve. Maybe saving the world was the real reason she stayed here? Oh, if she does leave, they better show her reuniting with George and Mitchell. That would be such an awesome way to close the book on that trio.

Sorry I haven't posted since ep4, been so blasted busy!
Watched it this morning and I was all and even though I pretty much guessed what would happen. I c&p'd what I posted last week on another post as reference.

Annie's death: I felt sad because it really meant the old guards are gone. The book on the originals is definitely closed. Her departure did not have the emotional heft of Mitchell's(my chest hurt from all the sobbing and my eyes were swollen from all the crying). It was not even close to George's where I cried, though not as much and without the chest pain, . I still think it was a nice way to round out her story. She saved the world and she got to be with the boys she loved. I didn't mind her not having an emotional goodbye with Tom and Hal since she really wasn't close with them the way she was with George and Mitchell. It did bother me though that her death and her infanticide were not discussed. Oh yeah, I am very pissed off too that there was no effort to even show her with George and Mitchell. They could have used old shots for crying out loud. They were the originals for chrissakes! smiley: mad

Cutler and Mr Snow: I will always remember the image of Cutler crawling on the floor with his flesh falling off. That was awesomely gross and will forever be ingrained in my brain, . As soon as Mark Gatiss showed up onscreen, I yelled, "Mycroft!!" and then "Lazarus!!", . Fans of Sherlock and Doctor Who will get my reactions, I watch too much tv, . Anyway, he was so quietly menacing with his voice, mannerisims, teeth and fingernails. These 2 were such brilliant actors!

The new guards: I like how the finale ended with Tom stating: "Cause you're my best mate". I just went "awwww!!!". Fucking endearing I tell you with those puppy dog eyes. SO sweet considering how Hal had mentioned the possiblity of them becoming friends in one of the episodes. I like how it's all going back to what the show was about in the first season. After all the prophecies, drama, and killing, we're getting back to the main thing, friendship.

So yes, we now have new guards. Hal and Tom have grown on me and Alex is a hoot as long as they don't make her too annoyingly sassy. There will be a season 5 and I am looking forward to it. It's a new beginning. So bittersweet. I fucking love this show!!
