I'm totally in denial. I don't know how I'll deal with a series without Mitchell - he was such an intregal part of the show. Yay for Aidan, but booooo for him leaving :(
I was thinking about it this morning. I'm sure Aidan jumped for joy at the news that he got the part and then thought, "Oh no, what am I going to say to them?" Something, maybe Toby's message, said that they were all congratulating him and then setting down into, "Whoa, what about Mitchell!?!"
Leading up to the finale, I thought of all the vampire fiction I've read since I was a little girl. I thought of maybe Mitchell getting buried, like Lestat, for I don't know 10 - 15 years. They can fastfoward the show to where Nina/George's baby is a teenager . . . maybe big enough to unlock him, like in Underworld?! There were just so many ways to avoid killing him. But I imagine Toby thought they wouldn't get him back.
I was inconsolable last night, eating everything in my house. It's going to be a tough couple days . . . especially the part about not being able to explain why I am so upset.
I'm honestly kind of empty right now. I just...I think for the most part I'm pretty pleased with how things turned out, but I still wish for some things. Like more good Annie/Mitchell moments. Like a longer Annie/Mitchell farewell. Like more of Annie's powers (they had damn well better happen next season!).
I...I think I might need to take a break. I don't remember the last time I was glad for a break between seasons. If there even is a next season? I can't imagine there not being one, to just end like that. But. Guh. Absolutely gutted. Annie and Mitchell had better meet again in the hereafter.
I think I'm a little in denial - plus the fact that I feel like I have whiplash re: how Annie and George acted in the last half (minus the last 10 minutes) - they just seemed to callus and like they didn't give a shit and yeah I get it but they were acting like they didn't have this major history with Mitchell and I didn't know how to take that (luckily they seemed more like themselves in the last 10 minutes). I'm glad we got something for Annie/Mitchell - it was enough for me (though a little more would have been nice), but I love what they gave George/Mitchell - it was heartbreaking.
Apparently there IS going to be a 4th series, and while I really hope it'll be "Annie's season", I'm not sure how I'm going to handle a season without Mitchell - he was such an intregal part of the show and he was 1/3 of my favorite OT3 - I just don't even know right now.
I feel a little better with posts like this and this. Still, it was very hard to watch, and I think I just want to watch happy, funny shows for a while. Like Community and Modern Family and White Collar. Yes, they will make it better.
I truly hope next season will really be Annie's season. They have been hinting and hinting at her powers and stuff, and by god they had better deliver on it or I will be very upset (I was kinda sad there wasn't an Annie vs. Herrick showdown, that would have been awesome. This new big bad vamp will do though). I hope though that next season also focuses on the big gaping hole Mitchell left behind now. Things can never be the same.

SAME! When he first came back I TOTALLY thought it was going to be Annie staking him to protect her friends - that would have been AMAZING - and would have made a lot more sense than her staking that random copper vamp to save Nancy. That's the one grievance I have with series 3 - tpo much focus on Annie being in love and not enough on Annie realizing her strength and coming into her own. That better be the major story in S4, along with the fallout of Mitchell's death. It would ridiculous if they didn't have the flatmates grieving for their friend/their lost relationships/the actions that led to his death. It would be a total disservice to the original OT3 and the viewers - they better not fuck it up and ruin my happy supernatural OT3 memories!
I haven't watched this series yet, because I can't stand waiting for episodes, but! I did just read on the BBCAmerica twitter that a fourth series was announced.
They have announced a 4th one? I'm not surprised - the way they ended the episode definitely set up another series, but with what's been going on cast wise you just never know.
THIS SERIES WAS AMAZING IN SO MANY WAYS. The whole 3rd series is linked to here.
I read a spoiler on Being Human's Twitter last night. CANNOT WATCH THE EPISODE! I almost cried when I read the tweet(s). Watching it will be torture. :(
I think going in knowing what's going to happen might be a bit easier - I mean I had a feeling that Mitchell/Aidan was leaving, but the way it played out just TOYED WITH MY EMOTIONS and made it even more devastating when it actually happened.
While I think the episode was great (especially including the last 10 minutes), it will never stop being really fucking depressing :(((((
I just watched the end of the episode. Saddest thing I've ever seen! :( :( I think I cried more during that scene than when I watched David Tennant's final scene on Doctor Who. :( And I cried again when watching the behind the scenes for Aidan's final scene.
Brit shows...stop breaking my heart please. Thank you.

Was this finale supposed to be the last one?
