and a few preliminary reactions

[kindkit]

My first reactions to the end of TMA S4, .

1) Oh, fuck.

2) Elias, I don't think I like you any more.

3) How the hell can there be a fifth season???

4) Oh, fuck.

5) At least Jon and Martin got a little time together. Not a lot (a couple of weeks?), but some time. There is, indeed, life before death.

they're together going into whatever-the-fuck Jonny has planned for S5

I found myself happy to hear, in the Q&A, that the relationship would be more in the background in S5, because hopefully that means we won't get a lot of Relationship Angst. Not that I expect or want their relationship to be perfectly smooth, but I don't want Jonny to break them up to create drama, or something. I don't think he would, but it's still reassuring to know that the focus will be on other things.

Yeah, once you've ended the world, you really don't need Relationship Angst on top to add any extra emotional pain and drama!

(And after 160, I think Jon's going to have to be getting some emotional support to be even semi-functional.)

I like the idea that S4 has the big romantic drama arc, and in S5 they're an established thing and the focus is on dealing with the apocalypse.

(I mean, I'm braced for one or both of them dying heroically, trying to save the world and/or each other, but that's different.)
