Too Hard to Repeat

OK so I finally got around to watching the series finale for, "Big Love" It's a series I've watched every episode of and like "Six Feet Under" a great series by HBO.

But the problem I have with the end of a series nowadays is that they all pale in comparison to how "6 Feet Under" went out.



You spend so many hours, years with a series and the characters and you feel like you know so much about them and the show and when the last episode of the whole kit and caboodle comes around you want something dynamic and for me, there have been only a handful of really great goodbyes.

"MASH" had a really good ending, the episode itself was a little long, but the tear jerking at the end was perfect.

Although it wasn't a series finale, the year Julianna Marguiles left "ER" and George Clooney was there in the end... that was special.


But again the best closer for me ever is "6 Feet Under" Take a look at the clip and you be the judge. If you followed the show at all you connected with every single major character in the end and it was amazing. I won't lie I had tears in my eyes when I first saw it and I still tear up when I see it now.
So I say goodbye to "Big Love," I enjoyed you and appreciate all you did, but I won't remember the last episode or truth be told the last season as being all that special. You kind of stepped out of the picture via the back door instead of owning it and marching right out the front door!
