I hated that beyond words.

I am literally sobbing as I type because this actually feels like the end.

What happened to my beautiful, bromancy, interesting, scary, intriguing show? My show that had "something up its sleeve", my show that only ever had brothers at odds with each other FOR A REAL REASON! My show that had brothers who loved each other. My show that knew it's history. My show that WAS NEVER a soap opera. My show.... *sobs*

My heart is breaking so much and it fucking hurts.

I trust that I missed something. To be honest I don't even have the energy to rant. I am so disappointed and hurt. The season cliffhanger is Amelia walking back into Sam's life... just. No words.

I have never witnessed so much distrust, disloyalty, dis-LOVE between the brothers....EVER. Even when they were fighting at the end of S4 there was at least passion. This was just...nothing. All those things without any reason. They were hardly even on the screen together. I think I even detected real hate between them. And if that's supposed to make me tune in to see how they resolve it?...well...yeah. Not so much.

The show has changed. I suppose it had to. So many of you already saw it. I glimpsed it and clawed myself back. But this is what the show has become and that saddens me so, so much.

I know I shouldn't post. I know you want positive stuff. But in one episode it cemented everything I feared this season would turn into. A boring soap opera.

(I will say that it was beautifully filmed. And if it was a soap opera then I am sure it was beautifully written).

"Over the course of the next two episodes, Sam's relationship with Amelia -- and how it fell apart -- will be explored much further. We'll finally learn why he left her (and his dog!) in the middle of the night."

If the Zap2It article posted last Thursday was right, then de_nugis's rumor is right, too: we've only seen one of these "next two episodes," and based on what aired last night, there's no way we've seen why he left her in the middle of the night. So I'm withholding judgment for the moment, too, even though it's harder to do that right now than it's been all season. :(

Thank you. Apparently (and I'm going from missyjack's tweet) that was the planned mid-season finale. I can accept that it's a two parter though. It felt like a "to be continued".

Unfortunately the quote is no less upsetting for me. I feel like just saying...so? (not to you of course hun, but to Carver ;D) I am curious why Carver would think this is something that a mid-season finale should end on. I feel like he honestly thinks that Sam's relationship to Amelia is that compelling.

But...maybe her walking back in at the end is as "shocking" as Sam acted like it was because of the way he left her - in the middle of the night. There probably is more there (though I dread that it's probably as mundane as everything else we've seen. As in it's a relationship thing, nothing to do with anything supernatural).

Man....I am so sorry for spewing all that. You don't deserve that. I am desperately trying to cling on to something positive and you have given that to me so thanks. <333
