Can't believe it's over. Do you miss it too?


i never never in a million woulda guessed this series would capture my heart. but it did, and i find myself even now thinking about it all the time. when did it end? two years ago? do you still think about it sometimes during the day like i do?


it's a rare performance that digs into me deeply enough to carry the characters with me onward after it's ended.

i just can't say.....


serious, i really can't say.... what it was that grabbed me with this story. there's some 'nether' element there that pulled me in like the death star tractor beam.

it's something about the existential nature of their existence, the fatalism of it, like the clock was ticking on their whole setup right form the start. (as in, it was doomed from the beginning somehow).... but even then, the life they had or rather how life was TO them, at them, made for kindof a moodiness. heck i dunno how to say it. but something about this series rung extremely poignant, sanguine, bittersweet with me. i think it was more the time passages, the daily life trailing by toward an inevitable train wreck, that did it for me.


in any case, this show, these characters, even the setting and light of the photography, i found gripping.

that's when you know something is well written, when it becomes real in ya and you carry it after it's over.

the mark of a good show. sad to see it go.

Yeah I never really thought the marriage would last but I was hugely happy with the finale because I always thought that the three wives worked when they weren't fighting over Bill or being forced to deal with the fall out from his stupid decisions.
Barb makes a better priesthood holder than Bill any day AND she has the right kind of personality to deal with Nikki and still be sympathetic towards her.

Seriously he made one monumental cock up after another.
