Wonderfalls: the Last Four Episodes
Jul. 16th, 2008 04:22 pmIT’S KAYLEE! IT’S KAYLEE!! Except not really, as she’s playing Eric’s evil harpy almost-ex-wife. Yes, it’s another television ex-girlfriend (well, wife in this case) who exists to have her character assassinated. The writers managed to make her both slutty and prudish, which is quite a feat, but they did at least refrain from making her a psychotic killer.
Still. Her apparent vileness is unfortunate because it makes Eric look like a real idiot for marrying her in the first place, given they appear to have nothing in common.
I’m probably the only person who’s a little sorry that he and Heidi are definitely over by the end. On the one hand, he’s a really excellent romantic foil for Jaye, but on the other, if he left with Heidi to make an honest attempt at working things out, that would have been thematically consistent with the rest of the show. Letting Eric go try to patch up his marriage to Heidi is the right thing to do, even if it hurts like hell, and it would mean that the talking animals are about the greater good of the universe, not Jaye’s personal path to happiness.
On the other hand, I really do like Eric. And Eric/Jaye. So it’s not a complete wash.
