A Tale of Graceful Ends

This one episode is one of the worst episodes of television I have ever seen. It's been made for a audience but not the audience. This is the truth anyone giving this a 10 must be on mind altering drugs, in my humble opinion. I am disappointed that a series that could have been of the highest quality falls far short of what I was expecting.

This is one of those tales that you wish would never end. Acting: good Storyline: good Actors: Great (except for 1,we will get to that).

How the moral message was revealed was absolutly heartbreaking. You can understand Why it needed to happen but you didn't want it to. To see how it all comes full circle was a delight. To see how Shakesphere's works were used was absolutly heartstopping when you finally get "it". The little easter eggs and references used is more than brillant.

But, as in life, there is always disappointment. Lylas character. She did ALL that, only to have no concequenes at the end. While the actress may be lovely, she lacks depth to her character. Here is a mom, grieving for her son, a wife, still grieving for her man, and there is no anger in her performance. She was the reason for Dreams downfall and at the end, nothing... no punishment, no reflection from her about her actions. It felt, awful, like we have been cheated almost. Everyone in this show had a epifany,a character arc, but her. Everyone got the message but she was still crying about herself. It didn't feel Like that was a proper ending. I had expected for everyone to be mad at her for trying to kill Dream and yet she was just walking around like it was her house.

Anyway, this was a fantastic show. Loved the visuals, so beautiful some looked like paintings, all the actors, 'cept for 2, (Lyla and Rose) were outstanding. Hate the fact that it is tainted with you know who allegations.

Yet, i leave you all with this....

Langston Hughes 1901 - 1967 Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly.

Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow.

The story wraps up and I can't help but feel it was rushed.

Perhaps the reintroduction of earlier characters felt tacked on in a way to force the plot to a close without involving prevalent characters whom would have directly had a hand in the conclusion.

The way the story concluded, it's just not on par with the quality of writing displayed in the first half of the 2nd Season, much like the 1st Season which is unfortunate.

That said, it is indeed a Graceful End even if a little rushed.

I am so grateful the creators got to make a closing ending after the cancellation. It was slow paced and beautifull. The entire two seasons subjects were about change and to see the siblings also changed warmed my heart. This is the most beautiful show of the last decade and the rewatch value for me is through the roof. Absolutely love it.

What this was was a season 2 of 10/11 episodes of pure cinema to end on conceptual trash. I believe that I understand the point of the final episode is that dream is a concept not an embodiment which perhaps an audience would entertain at a midpoint of a season but not at this stage. It felt poorly written as if they weren't sure how to end it it and I did not enjoy it after loving both seasons.
