The use of 'Creep', as sung by a choir at a WEDDING in a CHURCH (including the line "What the hell am I doing here?"), was one of the *least* ridiculous things this show has done. As a Robert/Willow fan, I was perfectly happy with this being the final episode of the series since everyone else had become intolerable. Liam's a petulant whiny b!tch whose only fans would have to be teen girls, since his plotting/planning was lame and he was no match for Robert. I couldn't care less about him and Kathryn (she made me miss the character of Ophelia from Season 1). He was a boy taking on a man and thus was totally out of his depth.
Does NOBODY remember how Eleanor first got with Jasper? He BLACKMAILED her into having sex with him! That was something I'd never forgotten about nor forgiven (even though she apparently had). Consequently, I could never get onboard with their toxic 'relationship' and I just found them dull (Eleanor was MUCH better *away* from him...and Sebastian was better for her). She turns on her brother, Robert, because he stole her letter/words to Jasper? Big deal! Didn't she and Jasper have someone else write their letters *for* them at one point? They both became SO sanctimonious and the actor who plays Jasper only ever had one facial expression.
Helena's become woefully ineffective at doing much of anything (other than having a catfight with Willow's mother, which was ridiculous...but par for the course with this show). She's been totally defanged since Season 1, just sitting around watching reality TV...and not much else. Cyrus is, and always HAS been, a cartoon character. I guess it was a surprise they actually brought Violet *back* this time (instead of just having someone posing as her). I never liked Cyrus, so I didn't really give two figs about him (too bad that mohawked joke of an ex-King continued to LIVE). I used to like James Hill and thought he was one of the only 'mature' characters in the show, but siding with the idiots knocked him down several pegs in my book.
Willow's scenes with Robert were what MADE this season interesting/better than last season, and I liked that it wasn't clear which way she'd go right up until she said "I do". While I'm sure others were disappointed by the lack of any shooting going on, considering all the guns that were floating about, I was THANKFUL there wasn't any gunplay, as I was worried that if there *had* been, Willow might've gotten caught in the crossfire. Genevieve Gaunt got to display her comedic chops in one of the previous episodes when she was, in Helena's words, 'tripping balls', but here she conveyed all of Willow's conflicted emotions, showing nuance/depth, as she weighed her options. She was a most welcome addition to the show and certainly one of the 'stronger' actors in it.
Speaking of 'stronger' actors, Max Brown (who's a superior actor to William Moseley) brought SO much to this season as Robert, who (unlike Liam) has proven to be a COMPLEX character with many layers and I, for one, took great delight in him and Willow tying the knot, leaving everyone else looking like fools. That's why I can't hate this 'ending' for the series, as those who I *wanted* to win DID...and those who I *didn't* LOST. While everyone else seems to hate this conclusion, I'm sitting back and enjoying it. Long live King Robert and Queen Willow!
