Wow, the season four finale delivered with a bang!

Poor Rico!!!!! I know exactly how he feels... I think we all kinda do, what with first loves and all that. He messed up and all, but it was only the window that let him and Vanessa see what was really wrong. I'm so rooting for Rico, and I'm hoping he'll have more interactions with the various Fishers in the next season.

Okay, so I've been very wrong about Claire's arc this season. Still, I can't bring myself to really even care about her "crew", so to speak. Except for Billy and Olivier, who I love as characters. I loved Olivier's remark about success leading to corruption... and he's so right, and Claire doesn't even see it. Starting of course with her commission from Margaret and Nicole Richie wanting more paintings... it's the money telling her was to create. It's her telling her friends and teachers to :):):):) off. He may be an arrogant pain, but Olivier knows what's up.

George's secret finally comes out... and I'm a bit underwhelmed, I think. I was expecting something a bit more, though it certainly was hinted at quite a bit, what with his son. Ruth just always picks the winners, doesn't she?

David's scenes were awesome, as were Keith's. By far and away they're my favorite people on the show. Especially moving was Keith's support of David, and David's confrontation with his attacker. "It can't be that easy." "What if it is?"

Finally, the big finale story, Nate, Brenda, and more of a picture of what happened to Lisa. Now, I'm not sure Nate and Brenda getting married is such a good idea, especially considering the circumstances of how he came to that. It was great with Nate and Lisa's brother-in-law verbally sparring, and Nate just cutting through all of his crap. I think he knew that his wife was going to be there, and he was prepared to die, as soon as he knew why Nate was there. In fact, I'd bet that he gave the photo to his daughter in the first place to give to Nate via David.

Man, once again SFU shows how great a show it is. I only wish the season were longer... I don't want to wait a year for the fifth season!!!

Great insights. I'm torn about where the photo came from, but I agree, it could have been Lisa's bro-in-law. I don't know about him having set that whole thing up, though... dunno, seems to "perfect," everything coming together the way it did.

The shooting was quite shocking, I expected more holding it in his mouth, like they usually do on tv and movies. And of course as such, it was quite effective.

Still an excellent show. The first part of this season I found to be a bit slow (excepting David's harrowing experience), but it picked up the last few shows.

Great stuff.
