southsider2k5 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 02:15 AM) Did anybody watch the series, "The Bible?" I kind of enjoyed the last 2-3 episodes. I watched them, and it was OK. I am way more into Vikings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandmother got really confused by the transition from the Bible straight into Vikings one night. She has a hard time seeing so the costumes weren't a dead giveaway, lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve9347 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Apr 9, 2013 -> 07:35 AM) I hated that Jimmy's fate was basically not touched upon at all. And I'm also worried the show might be losing characters. I haven't seen or heard anything but with Ian, Lip, Jody/Karen all leaving Michigan it sets up an exit plan for them. I think we're supposed to read between the lines. Jimmy's dead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I wasn't sure, but then that last scene with Fiona made it clear they have no plans to bring him back. Anyways, great finale. Although it felt closer to a series finale. I had to check to make sure it was renewed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, great finale. Although it felt closer to a series finale. I had to check to make sure it was renewed. I felt the same way, and it seems a lot of people felt it was a series finale. I knew it'd been renewed, but it seemed to cleanly wrap up a lot of storylines. Of course, with a bigger budget due to the fact that so many people love the show, it makes some sense that the show will expand even further beyond Chicagoland. There's so many writing opportunities (Ian likely getting kicked out of the Army, Lip "integrating" with regular people at MIT - they thankfully wrapped up Karen/Jody/baby storlyine. Be gone with anything Karen. We're set up for some solid office politics (and likely a romance with the funny boss). Kevin and V with a kid and hopefully the awkwardness of mom hanging around... will Frank clean himself up? Lots of good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, that was the best season finale on the best season of the show so far. My wife and I were mad that they didn't say anything about Jimmy, and I get that the writers probably wanted to keep their options open going forward, but the more I think about it the more it's pretty obvious he's gone. I think we're used to major characters getting a "send off" when they die. Though it wouldn't surprise me if he comes back late next season or in later seasons. That makes the most sense for Fiona - move on, get in a good, new relationship, and then have Jimmy come back and screw it all up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already done the come's back out of nowhere bit. I just wish it would have been shown that he was dead. I don't want the writers to have the ability to just bring him back at some point now because they can. The entire time Fiona was wrapping up her last call to him and her walking in the house, I kept picturing the scene cutting away to a shot of the lake and going under water.
