Just watching now

Been in a tearful mood all day :( so this is prob gonna tip me over the edge

Snatchoo · 10/10/2013 23:20

OMG. Weeping. DH is weeping.

Have put Predator on now to combat the sobs or I'll never sleep tonight!

Lighthousekeeping · 10/10/2013 23:50

I never cried. I thought I would. Did the nurse help her on her way? It just seemed unfinished somehow.

aliciaflorrick · 11/10/2013 06:24

You're kidding Lighthouse I sobbed buckets from the last 10 minutes onwards. I thought it tied up all the loose ends brilliantly, she made sure that all her family around her were moving on.

The nurse didn't help her, she was just ready, I don't even think she got time to try the pie; Adam had passed out of high school, she'd made up with her dad, Andrea was off to New York.

She was desperate to die in the end and said she thought she couldn't because she hadn't made her peace with her dad, once she did that she was ready. She was living on borrowed time really, she should have died during her time in the hospice, nobody had expected her to live longer. What kind of system throws a woman out of care though because she hasn't died in the time allocated in her insurance policy? That was sad too.

I found it incredibly moving. I've saved the last episode on my iPad to watch again. I thought it was beautiful.

It's got to be one of the best final episodes in a series, normally they're so disappointing (and yes Dexter I AM looking at you).

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/10/2013 09:03

Sad but also acted /scripted well

She was ready to die with dignity and wanted to know that her dad son hubby brother and friend were all ok

Good ending and makes you think

Few tears but subject close to home at the moment :( and just a bit emotional /hormonal anyway

De better ending then sexter dexter

Lighthousekeeping · 11/10/2013 10:01

I get that she tied up loose ends. It's strange because I'd been at work since 7am and only got home on time. Was shattered and emotional. I expected waterworks but they never came! It's weird. Like I was ready for her to go as well?
Beautifully acted all the way through. I loved sean.

I haven't seen dexter and won't now that you've said the endings crap. I hope they don't do that with Homeland.

Snatchoo · 11/10/2013 11:14

I loved the ending! I thought it was very moving - although not sad as such. Sad, but a good sad.

When she smiled and said the flowers were beautiful - oh my.

HiccupHaddockHorrendous · 11/10/2013 12:31

I'm going to have to watch it again.

I watched last week's episode on 4od but I couldn't fastforward the adverts so it overran and I missed the first 15 minutes of last night's. Then I fell asleep and missed another big chunk in the middle Hmm.

I'm really sad that it's over. I have really loved this programme and haven't enjoyed anything anywhere near as much since ER.

What can I watch now?

Lighthousekeeping · 11/10/2013 14:53

It would've been so much better if they hadn't have had that gap in the middle of the season?

lborolass · 11/10/2013 15:04

Somehow I feel a it deflated by the ending. I'm not sure what I wanted to happen but it felt that we'd invested so much in Cathy's story and her death was almost blink and you missed it.

I was tired when I watched it last night so need to see it again in case I've done it a disservice

Did we see Sean after he went in to surgery, not sure if I missed that bit.

roundtable · 11/10/2013 15:19

No, we didn't see Sean post surgery.

I loved it. I've just watched it and although I didn't cry I still have a big lump in my throat.

I like that they didn't go for melodrama, I'm really glad I watched it. Dh wouldn't watch it with me as the topic made him feel uncomfortable which is a shame.

I had a feeling Dexter would have a crap ending. I've got nearly the whole series to watch and I avoid watching it each time. The show got so silly, they should have ended it long ago.

Lighthousekeeping · 11/10/2013 15:29

Iboro that's exactly my thoughts. I was also tired after work. I still felt let down though.

Lighthousekeeping · 11/10/2013 15:41

I need to get back to the nurse. There was some eaten pie on the side. It stood out a mile. Are we sure she wasn't from that Portland group and that's what the cheque was for?

vjg13 · 11/10/2013 16:47

I liked the ending, only cried from Sean's high school graduation onwards!

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/10/2013 16:50

she offered the cheq to the nurse and said have a weekend away with hubby, that she deserved it

nurser said she couldnt take it

aliciaflorrick · 11/10/2013 16:56

It was the high school graduation that tipped me over the edge, once I'd started I couldn't stop.

clangermum · 11/10/2013 17:22

I was surprised at the start that she was still alive - thought she died last week when the cat came in.

In that sense, I thought the end was quite realistic - still kind of unexpected in a small way, as they didn't have the benefit of looking at the clock and thinking 'it has to be in the next few minutes'. And the whole episode revolving around not being able to choose when.

clangermum · 11/10/2013 17:26

Although she had at least sorted everyone out. But didn't get her flowers from Paul.

I did feel a sort of let down. But I think that's sometimes how it is. It happens when you leave the room and aren't expecting it.

LadyGoodman · 11/10/2013 18:31

I haven't watched last nights yet I am a bit scared to I sobbed after last weeks do badly dh started crying too. He's watched it from the start me only on and off but feel I owe it to cathy to watch the end Hmm

Raeray · 11/10/2013 21:30

Just finished watching it myself Confusedgosh I did cry! Especially when Adam graduated- she wanted it so much. Ahh what a lovely programme, I agree with the poster who related it with ER- no where near as long running but I definitely felt as emotionally invested if that doesn't sound too knobby a phrase!
What to watch now?!

HighBrows · 12/10/2013 10:24

I filled up from the graduation, it was so touching. I suppose we all assume that Sean's op went ok and Paul & Adam continued on living. Andrea went to New York and Cathy's father was content that at least he made peace with her before she died.

It was a bittersweet ending, Cathy just looked so happy at the end. I'd love to rewatch from the beginning now.
