I finished the finale of Monk and tbh one of my favorite show finales I’ve seen though it would have been unbearable to watch in real time, especially with that cliffhanger at the end of Part 1.

Also I say this not just for the finale but for the series as a whole,

Tony Shalhoub earned every single award he won for this show holy damn.

I’m gonna go die a little now. Then when I’m done doing that I’m gonna start the whole thing over.

I’m on the third to last episode of Monk and it’s like the first half of the last season, the writers had senioritis and were just throwing whatever weird shit they could think of at us.

“Meat Loaf as a voodoo priest? Sure why not? It’s the last season, who cares?”

Then around the midway point they realized, holy shit it’s the last season. It’s our last chance to destroy people’s emotions and leave them a hollow wreck of what they once were.

The finale is going to actually kill me, isn’t it?

Did I mention that there’s an episode of Monk that has the exact same plot as the Gurnius Affair? Only instead of a Nazi the evil twin is a hitman. Unfortunately there was no angsty friend on friend torture scene. There was a friend on friend stare down that was charged in a way that I liked so there’s that.
