Wow
I'm going to TRY to be a good little non-ego-driven girl right now, but it may be difficult. Yesterday, or actually Friday as I was heading to my meeting, I was writing a little scene for my Keller story where Keller discusses how Toby feels about him at that point. And I'm thinking, good, I hope I'm close. Cut to today, sitting on the floor in front of the television watching the final B/K scene unfold for the first time and hearing virtually everything I've written about 24 hours before within the dialogue of that scene. It was scary. It was inspiring. I finally feel like I've gotten my touch back.
BTW, Eamonn Walker in those original cast audition scenes - absolutely beautiful.
After watching it, and not really dwelling on it, I'm not sure why the majority of folks hate the season so much - it seemed to do what it had to do to wrap things up (sometimes steamrolling over characters - Schillinger, McManus to do so). I'm a bit upset they didn't show the complete Omar death scene - that would have been worth seeing, and the very end ticked me off a bit - I know why it ended on Hill, but I don't know why it had to end with Hill. I liked the overlapping voices bit. And I hated that they had to leave, I knew why, it was sort of silly, but it served its purpose. And Keller's death. It couldn't have ended any other way - I did warn him though as he was approaching the railing (just like I do every year to Sonny in "The Godfather" not to answer Connie's phone call). They never listen. Really, folks, it's the romantic ending. There's a saying that in sentimental movies, the boy gets the girl (or the boy) and in romantic movies, the boy has no chance. That's the beauty of B/K. They'll always have that perfect moment at New Year's.
Possibly in subsequent viewings, my opinions on this season will change but right now I'm just glad to have seen it - the good, the bad, and the Omar.
