First of all SPOILER ALERT for the show Parenthood. It is one of my non super geeky shows I watch. However when I finally got to watching the latest season finale, I had a bit of a realization. I am conditioned to expect major characters will die. You see in Parenthood, this past season one person has been battling cancer, and doing a damn good job too. But then the season finale aired and before I could see it, my various Facebook friends were posting about how much they cried. My first thought was "OH NO SHE DIIIIIIEEEEEEDDDDD!!!!" And realizing I don't want to sob like a baby, I put off watching it. For about SIX MONTHS. Keep in mind I am a fan of Doctor Who, Sherlock, Harry Potter, Supernatural (you get where this is going). Major characters die ALL THE TIME in fangirl world. And frankly I just wasn't ready to say goodbye. Turns out I didn't have to.
She didn't die of cancer. In fact she got a PET scan and was cancer free. Oh and the kid gets adopted. The other one gets into his first choice college. The boyfriend moves out of state but loves the girlfriend and wants her to move with.
PEOPLE THERE IS A WORLD WHERE HAPPY ENDINGS HAPPEN AT SEASON'S END AND TEARS SHED ARE TEARS OF JOY NOT TEARS OF DEATH OR REGRET!!!
This world frightens and confuses me.
