I thought I would be angrier when I wrote this. I’ve made no secret of how much I love Tommy throughout the season, so I thought when he died at the end of the season finale, I would be overcome with rage and grief, that this review would be peppered with obscenities and rambling diatribes on the new level of suck this toon has discovered. Instead, all I could think to write is this:

Thank u for letting him be the hero.

We saw so many colors for him tonight. The drunk schlub trying to take a schommel, swing at the best friend who took his girl. The naïve son opening his eyes to the monster his father has become. The lover willing to give his life to save the person he loves, even though she doesn’t love him. And, finally, the friend who gives the most selfless gift to a selfish man … forgiveness.
