Spoiler Alert!
Yes, I'm still alive!
I know it's been over a month since my last update and I know I took too long with the final rant for Containment but 1) I've been holidays and 2) I kind of didn't want to watch the last episode because that would mean that the series is really over, not that I'm too sad about it not having a second season because you know I've always said that this series wouldn't have much of a story to have a second season but, I just didn't want to stop watching Chris Wood on my TV (I know, really weird) but yeah, I gotta get one with this rant, right?! So, let's jump right into it!
I gotta say, first of all, that I didn't really like the ending. It was a good 'conclusion' apart from one thing, we didn't get an antidote! Or did I just saw that wrong?! Because, from what I understood, the Cordon was still 'up' in the end and there was still a virus. Please, tell me if I'm wrong about that because I really didn't enjoy the fact that we didn't have a proper good ending.
Althought, I did enjoy the last part of the episode being Jake narrating how it all ended for everyone. Chris Wood does have a really good narriting voice and, I'm not saying this just because of this last part of the episode, but because I've already listen to his narration of one of Cassandra Clare's books and I really enjoyed it, even thought I didn't understand the story because it was a continuation of other book from the Shadowhunters series. I just listened to it because of Chris Wood, to be honest with you but yeah, this isn't about Chris Wood, this is about this last episode of the series so, let's get back to it.
So, even thought we didn't have a proper ending about the virus, we did have a good ending about 'who created it' and such. Leo, with the help of Lex and Lex's dad, got the story about Lommers out in his blog with good evidence and the police got Lommers. The episode ended saying that there would be hearings so, that was a good part of the ending!
About Teresa and Xander and the baby, well... Teresa and Xander get engaged and they stay in the cordon, in Teresa's mum store and I guess they will live happily ever after?! I don't know, but it seemed like a good ending for them, even thought I did't really care for their characters... For sure, not my favourites.
One of the moments that I was most exciting to see was the moment of Lex and Jana's reunion and, let's just say, it didn't happen at all likeI was expecting it to be.
Lex fnds Jana while she's (and the others) trying to excape the cordon and he didn't even hug her or anything! But, in the end, it all went well, because, even thought they got back inside the cordon, Lex got back with her (and the others) and I guess they will also be living happily ever after?! I don't know, I just know that I ship them really hard and I'm really happy they are finally together, even if they're inside the Cordon.
And, about the cure... Even if we don't have a proper ending, they did find another person like Thomas, with antibodies against the virus, which may lead to a cure, so it's good!
That's basically it folks!
In the end, not everything turned out fine but most of the characters god a 'good ending', which I'm happy about.
Overall, wasn't the ending that I wasn expecting, so I'm kind of disappointed but, considiring that they finished shooting without knowing if there would be a season 2 or not, it was a good ensing.
Anyway, let me know your thoughts about the series finale and I guess we'll only 'see' eachother in September, when American Horror Story gets back!
Until then...
Love,
Daniela.
