Members All My Shadows Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 I really don't need a ton of clips. Not separated "flashback"-type clips, at least. IMO, the more flashbacks, the less time to wrap things up. Of course, I know a lot of people say screw the current stories, but as someone who is generally enjoying the show right now, I want some closure with these stories. The best thing for me would be the show's final montage being a mix of old scenes and "current" scenes, ending with whatever poignant ending they decide to use. I have faith in Lorraine, Addie, Agnes, and whoever else is in charge at the end to make me ugly cry without relying on flashbacks. Which, really, because they use the same flashbacks over and over again, wouldn't really grab me like it should. Erica and the bear. Jesse "dying." Travis and Erica holding newborn Bianca. Ryan, Kendall, and Greenlee in the pool. Joe wants to be Ruth's "friend." Jenny's jet ski explodes. Nina and her bridesmaids ride in the horse-drawn carriage. Langley dreams of shooting an arrow at Phoebe. Etc etc etc. One thing CBS did right for both ATWT and GL was post some really good clips online, stuff that they'd never aired as part of the shows and wasn't (as far as I know) already on YouTube. ABC could do something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jonathan Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 Of course. Time to go to Costco and buy some Kleenex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 I myself would LOVE it. There has to be at least some flashbacks for the finale. I hope we get plenty of my Marcy in the early days of her 1st run, some SMG Kendall (prob won't happen), Brooke's tubal pregnancy (the storyline that got me hooked on AMC), Ryan & Gillian (back when CM was likeable), Cindy Parker's AIDS storyline, old school Jessie/Angie, Jenny's death on the jet skis (or wave runner or whatever it was), Erica's abortion, etc... YAY!!! I'm so happy for the AMC fans. I fully hope and expect that LB & AN will come up with something wonderful, heartfelt, and sentimental for the ending. Julie Hanan Carruthers, SIT DOWN! It's sad that it's taking AMC's cancellation(!) to get that woman out of the EP positon but at least it's happening. I hope she never helms another soap again, and it's likely she won't. Like I've said from the get-go, Y&R, B&B, and DAYS are going to be the last soaps standing. I still say that's how it's gonna be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NYC123 Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 Good decision on ABC to calm some of the fans. You know this is going to be GREAT with Lorraine and Agnes there. Now like many of you said you know you are going to CRY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 Yes indeed...I'm gonna be a mess the whole two hours and then a zombie over the weekend. Part of me wants to watch the finale the old way I watched for most of my run with the show: on a crappy VCR tape at around 9pm-ish with a bottle of Minute Maid pink lemonade, but there's no way in the world I'm gonna miss watching this live. I might even skip the live thread that day just so I can soak in every second of the finale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 We should all get to watch the final episode together. I wish there was a way to create a chat room or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 I'm just mad Biggie Smalls is still "hearing" things. It's like, dude... you're hater. Have a seat! And you already know I love you just as much! Girl, please... you know the live thread will be -- what? LIVE that day. Betta come on with it, girl!

Members All My Shadows Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 We have the SON chat room that never gets used (our very own SON version of the "good forks"), but yeah, that live thread's gonna be at least 50 pages long by the end of the finale. And that's on the low side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 I like this idea, why not just a live thread though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted July 1, 2011 Members Share Posted July 1, 2011 Nothing against a live thread. I just wish there was a way to record our individual reactions on video so we could send the whole thing to Agnes. It's one thing to read our responses but it's another to see our faces as we watch. Or to send video "Farewell Pine Valley" messages. Also, I really want a backup in case SON crashes. Plus as much as I hate to say it, a live thread is open season for haters. I don't want to deal with the Jamey/Nelson types who would only pop in to say, "Screw AMC! Way to go OLTL!" That would be perfect. I hope SON lets us use it.
