Final Days Part 19 ~ Let Us Begin At The Ending (12/30/11)





By The Pricking Of My Thumb ...


Something Wicked


This Way

Comes!


One could say that events in Llanview got off to an auspicious beginning if not for the inauspicious warning of impending doom from The Hobbit Madame Delfina.


She warned of darkness like no other descending on Llanview and that things would never be the same again.  Delphina checked in with the Chief of Detectives before she headed over to Llanfair to officiate over the wedding of Rex and Gigi.  The fact that this woman/man (Delfina/Delbert Fina) has been in the tour guide for Rex and Gigi's destiny says a great deal.  Delfina says it all has to do with the allignment of the stars, but it has more to do with how deep the horse manure gets. 


For Starr and James, there's good news
and there is bad news.

Starr's video, "Jail Bait" went viral much to the dismay of her boyfriend, James and Starr accused James of stifling her dreams to become a singer.  (When in the hell did this happen?)  Starr is a pre-med student, which actually is more suitable for the character.




John and Natalie got to spend time together, but instead of seeing movement, we see more of the same.  John doing his best redition of Gary Cooper.  "Ummm... Shucks Mame!"  "We gotta talk!"




Bo and Nora did the unthinkable!  They had fun!  If anybody is deserving of a respite, no matter how brief, it's Bo and Nora.  2011 was a disaster for the two of them.




After years of tragedies (Shane being kidnapped; Rex being shot; Rex and Gigi being lost in 1998; Shane having leukemia; Rex hafing Stacy and a Bag of Blood; Gigi having Schyler; Rex having a series of mamas and pappas; Gigi beomg presumed dead.) Well, on Friday, Rex and Gigi finally said their "I Dos" at Llanfair among close friends and family.




For Todd and Blair, it was a time for new beginnings.


There was the new ritual of tearing up ugly shit!  Todd goaded Blair into destroying the portrait that Tomas had drawn of Blair.  Tea thought that Blair should hold on to it.  (Nobody should hold on to that artistic nightmare.)  Blair gave that piece of mess some knee action and then she killed it with the heel of her high-heeled boot.


The ritual of putting regrets in writing and tossing them into the fire.Blair's one big regret is trusting the wrong man (As written, Blair's regret is sadly ironic since
Tomas was framed by Todd for Victor's murder.)



Leave it to Todd and Blair to also break the
rules and their own rituals. They finally broke the
ritual of the near kiss

for some real kissin'
