The Last Resort is done. I've been too busy worrying about GMOs and 6th grade reading response essays and guns to actively engage on the show's behalf, but it's gone now. Cancelled unfairly. Season finaled. Kapoofed.
They speed dated through the ending last night. You got twenty awesome seconds per scene with the great cast, great dialogue, great suspense, but at too quick a pace -- the urgency to get it all in for us before the ship went down-- which made the mind panic along with the characters, 'Wait, huh, wuh??? I missed two weeks of development! MORE of them!! Please! More time!! WHY did he just shoot himself???" It was the strangest/saddest/most exhilarating television goodbye I ever experienced.
Network decided the show had to end in January for some stupid reason, rather than the END of the regular television season. Either it was way too expensive or we're about to bomb Pakistan. Who knows.
Andre Braugher stood in the middle of every one of his scenes and acted the crap out of ANYTHING else on television just with his piercing eyes. If HE'd been a NAVY recruiter outside my dormitory in college, I'd be floating around in his sub right now he's so good... such charisma, and depth, and high quality lusciousness. The laughter near the conclusion of the plot, delivered with such honesty (possibly because they were channeling the unfairness of a great show with so many well working elements getting canned for being TOO good). And then the rushed RUSHED ending... "NO! I want more!!!"
I felt sadness. Real sadness.
Gone.
For stupid shows like Nashville = Dallas, but in Nashville.
Or reality shows about Amish gangsters.
It's a sign I need to stop turning on the TV.
Although, now that Danno's girlfriend's (Autumn Reeser) show got cancelled, she'll be back on Hawaii Five-0, possibly, but how will I be able to stand it, watching her go back to being the under utilized antiquities expert after she went and assassinated the evil president of the United States in her father's living room to save the country and avenge her lover??? Oh, Kylie. Your boyfriend who I never got to get to know was sure a dreamboat-even through that whole experience of him making you shoot him--How did you make that sexy??? (When did you two start dating????)-- I will miss you most of all. Now you've gotta go back to standing on the beach in heels looking confused and submissive. And poor David Rees Snell is back to selling used helicopters. It just blows.
Maybe the entire cast of Last Resort will be given regular supporting roles on Hawaii Five-0!
*I'm sorry I didn't sign the petitions to save Last Resort, Last Resort. I failed you. And now I wait in George Martin purgatory for Season 3, which I already know is going to devastate me.
RIP, Last Resort.
(Unless it gets picked up by another network, they say. Arrrrrgh!)

I'm not sure, 100%, but I think this is how I felt when Homefront (1991 - 1993) was cancelled.
