Thank you!

I still wish that the episode had ended on the pier, mostly because the glimpses we got of their future lives were so fleeting that Ellen's in particular felt very incongruous. Writing this and ranting for a good while has helped me flesh it out a little in my own head.

I was never the biggest Chris fan, mostly because I like to pretend that the majority of season four didn't happen, so that particular part of the "happily ever after" was especially jarring in light of the events of the episode. I think that given the pregnancy he would have tried to move past the betrayal, but yeah, I definitely don't see it working out long term. As for Patty on SCOTUS, yes! I would have been really bummed if she hadn't come out on top in some sense. I love the idea of her reaching that level of power.

I'm still in mourning. This show is pretty much unparalleled! I had my issues with the finale, but for the most part I thought it was a great and fitting end to one of the best shows I've ever had the pleasure of watching.

Got I don't even know how to post on livejournal anymore. But I'm new to Damages fandom life and it exists nowhere anymore so I dusted off the old li and am having a look for fic. This cropped up and it's delightful. I really enjoyed it, thank you.
