You know how annoying it is when a show
just doesn't seem to want to end: whenever
it's all coming up the people you love,
an evil twin shows up or someone gets shot?
But worst of all is when one of the mains
is suddenly shown to be someone else
and you start to think, not how you were fooled
or all the inconsistencies finally fit together,
but how you're sure you knew the person better
than their director, their writers, their producers?
How you still see someone for what they could be
even as the ratings start to suffer for their change,
their performances grow more and more checked out,
age catches up with their whole way of being:
it's not so much you had chosen the wrong casket
but that the casket catches up with us all.
