Requiem

::watching FX::With my luck, this will be the last rerun I see before school. Anyway.::on to random XF musings::Maybe it's just me, or how the last two seasons and this ep played out, but the tide really turned with Requiem, didn't it?I dunno, I rewatched and rewatched this ep on summer hiatus that year. I still watch it and am not sure I can figure anything out. Two years later and I'm still asking questions, still trying to read every minute detail that was never meant to be looked at.But still I wonder. Because everything only got more strange from that point on. So strange that you could't even put the pieces together yourself because you didn't know what the pieces even were.... And somehow in my head this ep is frozen in time.It had a totaly different feel to it, which made you *know* something was up. And for as close as the signings were that year, it was very nearly the last. Thus it also had an odd impact (though not as great as if it had ended there.) But it's hard to remeber that or even care since we did get S8 and 9.It's just odd to think of Requiem as the last M&S case since it aired so long before the final end. Because really, though reunited in S8, things were not (and couldn't be put) back to the same as they were before in S7.Which I'm not complaining (i'll have to wander on other seasons later ; ), but that's a fact I realized in the middle of S8.I guess I've always just thought of Requiem as a bridge between everything, looking back. And I still want it to explain everything before and since. Which I know it won't do, but still I look. If to just put any sort of definition to it, any sort of solid marker in my mixed up head.And I think I've run out of direction for one post. But when you have to laugh at the "first case" reminders, your heart still nearly stops at the shippy spooning and the announcement at the end and when you look back with a sense of reminiscence for the old and a feeling of empathy for knowing what came next...Heh. It's been too long. I should have kept writting reviews.
