I wouldn't say that I liked her more - Fi had very good reasons to be reluctant. But if they want to keep Michael alive in the end (which I'm not sure now, and I'm actually happy about it, this is what a good storyline is about!), I can't see him live with the burden of being part of Sonya's demise. I would have never thought that I will analyze the motives and emotional turmoils in any part of BN (this was not that kind of show), but the end of the last episode was very powerful. He was not only tired of acting - he wanted to be free from the burden to betraying them even more than he has already done.
Definitely. I think the fact that this is the final season it is adding to the suspense of Michael's actions. Normally we'd think "Oh he'll get through this, someone will show up and usher in the next season," but now we got Michael questioning the actions of those who he wanted to return to for so long.
The writers and Jefferey Donovan have done a phenomenal job with showing Michael's struggle this entire season. It'll be interesting to see how this all ends, truly a magnificent way to end this show!
I don't mind the spoiler in the pic. This scene will be intense. Thank you for adding these promotional pictures. A bit unusual that all the pics are based on one scene. But having these are better than nothing :)
Michael's speech about that his belief reminded me of "The Recruit" with Al Pacino. "I say we are all here in this room, because we believe. We believe in good and evil and we choose good, we believe in right and wrong and we choose right."
I don't think it's wrong. I was actually having doubts for a while with Michael's loyalty to his friends and family after 7.11. But after seeing that particular picture, I'm feeling positive now :)
I've been dreading the last couple of episodes, because I knew they wouldn't play out the way I'd like, and this strongly confirms it. I know the writers feel Michael has to end up with Fi, but frankly, I'd prefer him with Sonya, and Carlos conveniently bailing on Fi makes it look like Michael is just Fi's consolation prize anyway.
Fiona already closed the door on Michael once this season (the episode where they did the flashback, and she gave him the same "it's over" kiss she gave the other guy), if not several times. Michael has admitted that he does have genuine feelings for Sonya, and while she can be ruthless (and let's face it, so can Fi), thus far Sonya has always backed him, acquiescing to Michael's desire to keep body counts to a minimum, coming through for Michael to save Carlos when neither Michael nor Fi had any chance of saving him... And as I said, having Fi go back to Michael after Carlos left her, rather than the other way around, makes Michael look like a rebound, not her first choice. Not so with Sonya. As I said, I realize the writers are determined that Michael and Fi should end up together, but I don't think the writers have earned that ending.
NOTE: Name-calling, personal attacks, spamming, excessive self-promotion, condescending pomposity, general assiness, racism, sexism, any-other-ism, homophobia, acrophobia, and destructive (versus constructive) criticism will get you BANNED from the party.
kinda wish I hadn't looked at these seeing the result for Sonya (even though any choice for Micheal with Fi is a no brainer, lol)
ReplyDeleteThat No.8 picture is unfairly spoilerish, so beware
ReplyDeleteWish i read your comment first...
ReplyDeleteAww, even though she's on the bad side I was hoping Sonya would live. I've liked her more than Fi this season.

ReplyDeleteThis is gonna be intense... Is it wrong to be kinda happy about what´s gonna happen to Sonya?

ReplyDeleteMe too :)

ReplyDeleteMay I ask why you prefer him to be with Sonya?

ReplyDeleteI don't think they release that image if she actually dies. If anything, I think that pic shows she lives.
ReplyDeleteI can see your point. I don´t agree with it, but I can see where you are coming from.
