For those of you who haven't seen the season finale or don't watch Covert Affairs but plan to, SPOILER ALERT.
Oh.
My.
Dear.
Lord.
All right, before I spazz, Auggie was especially sweet these two episodes. Love him. But on to...
...BEN CAN'T DIE. Okay, when it showed Ben as a double agent, I teared up. When Annie was in between him and Jay, I was muttering random things. I can't believe he used that line: "The truth is complicated." That's the same line from the note!! When the shooting and fighting began, I was yelling and screaming (so high that no sound really came out) into the pillow I'd smartly grabbed prior to nine o'clock. And I was sobbing; I really started crying when Ben got attacked, and when he was so close to being killed, and then the shot--
I can't think about it. I'll do the Scarlett thing: "I'll think about it tomorrow." ...Yeah, that's not going to happen. I'll be thinking about it all night. I'm still in shock over a number of things. My lord...
That 9-10pm episode wasn't exceptionally emotional; but the finale...holy crow. I was sobbing. I'm still crying a little. And when I found out that the series Season 2 started up next summer... I just about broke something. Literally. I threw pillows and stomped around my basement. It was like someone close to me had just gotten shot and I wouldn't know what would happen for several months. The promo that revealed the Season 2 start-up didn't help: "She joined the CIA...because of him. They recruited her...because of him. Now can she prepare for a life--" Annie: "Ben!" *dramatic pause* "--without him?" Or something along those lines...no pun intended.
I was pacing and having a tantrum for about...well, fifteen minutes. I still can't believe it. And it's grossly unfair, you know, because "White Collar" ended only last week and starts up again in January; "Royal Pains" starts again in January; "Burn Notice" and "Psych" start up again in November; but "Covert Affairs?" NEXT. SUMMER.
To the website: reruns for the *somewhat painful* win.
