Love characters that are doomed to die. Characters who are never going to be allowed a happy ending. Love to see them realize that. Love seeing how they cope with their oncoming tragedy. Love seeing them choose to live in spite of their predestined end. Love seeing that eventually crumble around them.

Love characters that are doomed to live. Characters that want so so so bad for their story to be over but for one reason or another can never find it. Love it when they're bloodied and bruised and forced to stand up again. Love seeing them make peace with that fate. Love it when a character who believed so ardently that they were going to be allowed to fade into memory is dragged kicking and screaming into being a real living person.

Just watched season thirteen for the first time in a while, and the thing that's sticking out to me is how Church's final transmission acts as such a perfect foil to his disappearance at the end of season ten. Previously he'd left on his mission without saying goodbye (because if you don't say goodbye you're not really gone), and while that's kinda symbolically beautiful when you think about Tex and Allison, it was also a deeply fucked thing to do to his friends. All throughout season eleven the Blues were tearing themselves apart in his absence. Church and Tucker lost their best friend and Wash was suddenly expected to take his place as leader; it was terrible for everyone. When they found him in season twelve he was all up on his high horse about a greater purpose when that wasn't even the fucking problem! They were all willing to let Church go do his thing, but because he didn't tell them about it or let them into the discussion, he basically abandoned them with no idea of what happened to him. He wasn't really gone because they were all haunted by the place he should be.

In season thirteen though, Church learns from his mistakes. He's backed into a corner where he genuinely isn't able to include his friends in the discussion, but he still finds a way to leave them a message. It's not a goodbye, but it's something to give them a little closure, something that will let them finally move on without him.

Allison always hated goodbyes, and because she never gave her family that closure, the Director refused to accept that she could really be gone. He kept finding ways to undo that ending for her (because it had never felt like an ending to him), and even when Epsilon finally did let her go and accept that goodbye or no she is gone, he still passed that burden on to his friends. Suddenly he was the one gone without a trace, and even if the Blues weren't desperate enough to try and bring him back, they were still left with the awful mystery of what happened to him. Not anymore though. After all that time, he was able to be a little honest and admit to himself and his friends that sometimes people are gonna go away for good, and it's better to accept that then to fight yourself to death trying to prevent it.

It's really late but I love this show so fucking much and it just gets better the more I watch it.
