The Big C Review: R.I.P.P.

I can see and enjoy the big C for many reasons: Laura Linney amazing action, the interesting point about cancer, humor. But do not expect me to show the impact of an episode of the season as "Crossing the Line", one struck me on my couch legitimately surprised, totally surprised by death, is not coming. But, well, RIP, Paul. What a twist of tragic events. Can we really say that they thought Cathy survive longer than her husband?

Looking back, the previous episodes to build this very passage. Paul pointed out to pay the bills for the entire season. Sean was a lot more than the father of Adam. Still, I think a lot of television to make my life, and takes a lot of surprise for me at this point. So well done, The Big C. dvd are still shaking his head as I write this.

Poor, poor Cathy. I can not even imagine the guilt and anger, which will be the result of Paul's death. The first because it was his decision to keep the dying hand that led to Lee's family leap from his trip to Italy, which would have meant an intense confrontation of something Paul office of insurance, and anger because, after all! She is dying of cancer and, yes, of course, it is also hard on her beloved, but is it really too much to ask her husband not to snort cocaine?!?

Is safe to assume that Adam and Cathy will be forced to sell their homes now. Seek to live with Sean in the third season, which should give John Benjamin Hickey mine materials further. (Sean wants to be a father, right? Not so, of course). However, the practical consequences of the loss of Paul does not match the emotions.

As is always the case when one of the main characters is killed, some viewers may take issue with this development. They accuse the show of a grapple notes, trying to shock the shock value only. But the Big C dvd set does not need it, for starters. The series is doing very well on Showtime. Also, as I said above, if you return in the season, you'll see the seeds planted in recent weeks. Paul has always been a time, obesity, anger filled individual. We do not focus on his health, because Cathy was much more urgent. But people definitely get heart attacks, especially when they use cocaine. You can not accuse the show of a lack of realism here.

You must also give credit for the performance of the final scene. It was shot well and set the perfect song. Both Cathy and the public realized what had happened at the same time, with the additional tragedy is the unconscious reaction to Adam: Dad is not there yet. When Cathy fell, literally, my jaw opened. It turns out that Paul was not found in the beginning of the episode: what really meet his wife at the finish line.
