"Perfect for US": The NEXT TO NORMAL love thread! — Page 18

I hate the new ending, too. Granted it sums up where Diana is...but thats really all it does. I liked the 2nd Stage "Light" MUCH MUCH better. But I don't think they should end it after I Am The One Reprise....I like the semi-hopeful ending.

My husband said, (and I agree with him), the end of the show should be the word "GABE."

When the father says that word, it's devastating.

you're talking to the wrong person, i said SHE DIDN'T KILL HERSELF.

Wow, I've never heard anyone say that they interpreted the ending at 2ST as Diana killing herself.

Sorry ZONEACE, dunno how I mixed that up. Corrected now.

When it was still Feeling Electric, it had Dan attempting suicide right before "Light"...which was really dark, but I liked it. I'm not surprised at all that it got axed though.

"Wow, I've never heard anyone say that they interpreted the ending at 2ST as Diana killing herself."

Hey, I'm not saying that she killed herself. The end of the show used to be WHO KNOWS? I love a who knows? ending. And it WAS there.

I'm not saying I want that ending.

I just like it if the possibility is there. It's more.... well, more, if you get what I'm saying.

Sorry about the Lolita thing.

I just didn't like the new husband.

Bryan Darc'y James was AMAZING in that role, but he's in Shrek.

WTF is Norbert doing these days, and why didn't he play the husband? He would have ROCKED.

It IS possible...I suppose...but I don't think that was Yorkey/Kitt's intention whatsoever.

Well now that you've made it clearer what you meant in terms of the idea of the suicide, it does make more sense; people will have different dispositions to how dark they want a story like this to conclude. Some will want everyone to have died, some will want them to become the perfect family. It seems we are all somewhat talking about the same thing now, the idea of posing the possibilities, but in varying degrees.

What I'm curious to know now, though, in more specific terms, is why you feel like the current ending is, as you say, bull****. I can understand having feelings of ambivalence and wanting to see them tweak it, as people on this board have suggested about other elements of the show. But why such strong words? At first you seemed to be suggesting that anything other than suicide would be bull, but what really would make the most sense to you?

Yes, he did. I'm just happy that SOMEONE is giving Bobby credit for making the role his own and not whining that it's not someone else.

You knew Brantley would say great things about Alice Ripley, but I was so happy with all the praise he gave the rest of the cast, especially J. Robert Spencer who doesnt get the credit he deserves and Jennifer Damiano who I think is giving the most underrated performance around.
