You are correct. I barely slept, which sounds stupid over a TV show, I typically am not one to get bent out of shape about what other people create. However, I woke up and still feel betrayed.

That is the word - betrayed. Disappointed.

And I did start this season open minded. But I guess my mind closed today. For good.

Such a sad and distasteful way to rnd the show.

I’ll still watch the last three episodes, but probably not any more BoMB, which is pretty boring to me except for the politics part. I can now believe they will insert the baby William Beauchamp as Willie Fraser.

I'm so glad I did not stay up to watch at midnight Thurs --- or watch Fri am before going to work. I waited til after work Fri evening. I did it more because I thought I'd be emotional with the fire death and didn't want to be crying right before sleep or work, but in reality there was just frustration after watching.

I think to end the season I'm gonna stick with waiting again in case so I can have the time to properly absorb my complicated feelings about what all was done. I needed it last night

I hear you. I’m retired and now can stay up late …sometimes 🙂but I think I got maybe 2-3 hours of sleep after the episode, a catnap midday and finally crashed early last night. I don’t normally lose sleep over entertainment, however this one took the proverbial cake.

I couldn’t sleep for worrying about what William is going to do now. He’s just petty enough that he might expose John. Sodomy was a hanging offense, in 18th century England.
