Excuse me while I contine to ramble...
.. but I blame it on stupid show writing meeting heavy duty pain killers
I know that back in February/March the general opinion was that the Luke/Reid romance would get nowhere. That it was one-sided attraction and all Reid/the Lure shippers could hope for were a stolen kiss or two like the one in Dallas before Luke would run back to Noah, and the rest of the show would play out like nothing had ever happened
That didn't happen, as now, six months later we have Luke and Reid in a relationship ( unlike others I refuse to call it healthy due to lack of intimacy for months) and talking about being in love and planning a future
And now, the more spoilers seem to come confirmed for the last couple of weeks before the show comes to a close, I wonder what went wrong?
Did they try to make both the Nuke and the Lure camp happy? Generally, they didn't manage that ( I know, some hardcore Nukies won't see that they got cheated of a fair ending just like everyone else, but that is always the case with the extremists ... see the Harmonians who still believe that Rowling got her canon wrong)
Did they try to make the homophobic execs/sponsors/viewers happy? That they may have managed!
Did they just try to come up with the worst possible end imaginable? (well, short of a Zombie-Apocalypse combined with an Alien-Invasion ... but that end would at least still have had some pulp-y amusement factor)
Possible other endings I could make up
- Reid running off with Katie (I'd ship it)
- Reid running off with Noah (I'd ship it)
- Reid running off with Chris (I'd ship it)
- Reid running off with Henry (I'd ship even that)
- Noah sailing to the west with the Elves
- Luke decides to run off with a sparkly vampire
- Oakdale is overrun by PMSing lesbian ninjas
- Oakdale is blasted out of existence by a laser on the moon (Lucinda and Reid celebrate their achievement of World Domination with cackling laughter on their moon base)
- It turns out Oakdale was a 24 hour TV show about the real life of people who didn't know they are in a reality TV show and now that the cast has found out they are leaving the big fake studio
- The whole of Oakdale is getting ejected from the Matrix as a faulty experiment (Have I mentioned those pain killers I'm on?)
If anyone is searching for me I'm in Egypt taking a bath in that big river they have other there... called denial or something like that
