If you're actually reading this group without seeing the finale...
beware of spoilers.












I'll spare everyone my personal feelings about whether this was
a "good" or "bad" show.  I agree with other posters in that I feel a
bit cheated in that I don't think the writers were looking very far
ahead as they were writing.  A lot of the make-it-up-as-you-go-along
stuff rubs me the wrong way.  But that's another story.

I'm posting about something weird I noticed while watching the
show.  These lyrics popped into my head as I watched:

"Love is but a song we sing... fear's the way we die..."

Sound familiar?  The last verse:

"You hold the key to love and fear,
 In your trembling hand  <---------------Obvious "quivering hand"
 Just one key unlocks them both,                 reference
 It's there at your command."


These lyrics are from a song the Indigo Girls cover called
"(Everybody) Get Together".  I can't recall the songwriter at the moment.
It's obviously a reference to WHITE AND BLACK LODGES!!!

Maybe if Coop had listened to more Indigo Girls instead of
Julie Crews all the time... or maybe if he'd just run a little faster...

Anyways, I say he deserved it.  If someone asks you to give up your
soul, you JUST DON'T DO IT!!! PERIOD!!!  Sure, he loved Annie, but
COME ON COOPER!  MR.TIBET/MR. SPIRITUALITY! HA!!!  If you give up THAT
part of you which is capable of love, what can you gain??  If you kill
that part of you which Annie loves, what do you do for her???  DUMB
DUMB DUMB move Cooper!  I thought you were wiser!  *I'D'VE* took a
couple of swings a WE before I forked over my bloody soul!

Regardless, I was a good run.  I'm hoping for a movie, just
because I really wanna know what happened to the vanishing CREAM CORN
KID!!!
