Great post! First, it allowed me to wallow :) Secondly, I like your take on things like Cho's cluelessness, Abbott as the voice of the shippers/his behaviour in the penultimate episode, they clarified some things for me. Thirdly, yes there were quibbles, it wasn't flawless, but there was so much to make us really happy. Like you, I loved what he said and that she'd drawn the line where he had to tell her how he felt.
And now there is more, and I want to see all the domesticity suggestions in the comments.
One last thing, I don't think I realised Heller was quite so 'no ship here, it's all platonic'. I wonder when he changed his mind/caved.
Thanks! I did really love the episode, I just wouldn't have written it that way, I guess. I now demand domesticity.
At the start of the series, Heller was definitely playing the: "Theirs is a sibling relationship" pretty consistently. And apparently in the original character descriptions, Lisbon was significantly older. It apparently wasn't supposed to be romantic at all. (And then they cast Robin Tunney.)
Ah, I started watching the show properly in season 2 and I'd read Lisbon/Jane before that, so I was biased! I didn't realise that Lisbon was meant to be older, altough that makes sense, but however much I am pro casting older actresses in principle, I can't imagine anyone other than Tunney playing the part.
