MAJOR CRIMES IS DONE! DONE! DONE!
I still have not seen the episode because I'm pregnant and I slept. Things of pregnancy. But the pregnancy made me more sensitive and grosser too, and how annoying I am.
I swear the rumors of weeks ago made me believe that this would happen, but when it really did not have psychological preparation that would stop you from crying.
I'm sad, disappointed, upset, angry and needing a bear hug to see if that whirlwind inside me stops.
I still did not have the courage to say the episode, but still I wanted to understand what goes on in the head of a writer / author / director / whatever it is, to disappoint the fans like that?
Ever since they invented this disease head and neck in Sharon, I did not want to see the series, I continued because of Mary McDonnell.
The other characters / actors are wonderful, they won me, I confess. But I saw Major because of Mary McDonnell, I do not have to lie.
I'm your fan, I know almost all of your work, and I've even seen the strangest ones like "Scream 4" (laughs, because I laughed the moment you died in this movie, sorry.).
But I will rather compare Sharon's death to Laura's death.
When I saw Battlestar Galactica, I was warned by my friends that you would die. Of course I cried, but never did a death make as much sense as that of Laura Roslin.
You were the dying leader, who had a chance to live a little longer, but his mission was to take mankind to the longed for home, the Earth. If I wanted you to stay alive and have a real end with Adama, yes, I wanted to, but I never accepted as well a death as Laura, because whatever happened, we knew from the beginning that it had to be like that and made him coherence of history.
Furthermore, thanks authors for killing Laura only in the last episode.
Thank you Gods of Kobol.
But Sharon? You can not understand it, it has no logic.
I started to get upset with the disease. I can tell you Mary, it has no logic, my biological father died after a treatment of this heart disease. It was not easy, but he fought and excelled and you know why he died?
Because he fell out of bed and hit his head with such force that he spent three days in a coma and died. Our hopes were super-renewed, he would be released from the hospital because he was fine, I can even say "healed" and he simply fell out of bed and died.
Why am I telling this? Because I know what this disease is and I know how serious it is. I know how the treatment is and how it made no sense for Sharon to suffer from it so close to the end of the series.
I always said, after the character was diagnosed with this disease, that would not go very far. No time would be wasted to show treatment, medicine, hospitalizations, and healing so close to the end, and so I came to strongly believe in the rumors of Sharon's so senseless and unwanted death.
Now I understand that reaction in an interview about the end of the series: really "IS DONE! DONE! DONE!"
I am a 24-year-old adult, married for 7 years, pregnant with her first girl or first boy, I have a dog and a cat, a journalist with a job and I do not need a series to survive, but just as books fascinate, plays and musicals enchant, tv series are part of our sim.
As much as we know it is fiction, which is a story invented by someone, we viewers, we begin to feel for the characters, we twist, we cry, we laugh, we scream and even we fight for you and its stories, however much we have the notion that it is not real.
I'm Brazilian and we have a culture very much linked to soap operas. For us it is common to stop what we are doing to see the big end of a telenovela. It's practically a world cup final, and for me this Sharon final was like every tear that fell on my face after the 7x1 defeat of Germany over Brazil in the last World Cup.
It was frustrating, annoying, sad and very meaningless.
After this wall of regrets I want to say that I thank every moment that Mary McDonnell dedicated to The Closer and Major Crimes. She is a fantastic, a wonderful actress, I take pleasure in seeing her on the big and small screens.
My desire now is for a new project to follow soon to accompany her performance, which is simply sensational.
