bye bye eli...

so i'm bummed that they only made 2 seasons of eli stone - of course i'm happy that i have them both on dvd, but i'm bummed that now i've watched them all there will be no more...

i can honestly say i don't think i have EVER watched a show that moved me week in and week out for 2 seasons - sure there are many shows i've watched that i've laughed at, enjoyed, found intellectually challenging etc, but none of them have affected me in the way that eli did, week in and week out...

when i first started watching it, it was on fox on a wed night, and so i would look forward to a thursday night (usually recorded it and watched minus the ads) when i could settle in for dinner and my hit of eli...

but as usual i got impatient and bought the 2nd series on dvd - and have, in the last 2 days, watched it all...

i just loved it - i love him (well his character), i love the idea of it, i love the relationship he has with his brother, with his acupuncturist, with his boss, with his pa...most of all i love that it reminds me that (to use a george michaelism) you gotta have faith...

and it would have been good if i could have remembered that lastnight...

sooo when i reflect on the last 36 hours, what i realise is that whilst i may have been able to move on from a life with ben and carve out a life for myself, i am occasionally lonely, but more worrying is that i am still angry (not always) with him, and with myself, and maybe just maybe i need to go deal with that....
