User blog comment:Cartoonprincess/HOA Finale Review ^.^/@comment-4751816-20120312072218

Before I respond to your statements, I just want to say: I love your blogs. They're so much fun to read!

I would have loved Patricia just explaining things to Eddie and Mara. It's about time Mara got a story line that wasn't just fluff or about relationships and had she been clued in to Sibuna, that would have helped.

I don't think Mara came off as a cheater, though. Not all break ups are clearly defined and Mick and Mara were a good example of that. Sometimes you just grow apart. Mara tried breaking it off with Mick an episode ago, but he hung up on her before she could. Mick was in the wrong showing up and expecting her to change her mind, not Mara. (Then again, I may be biased. I've been in a similar situation.)

I do agree that a Jerome/Mick confrontation would have been nice. The Jara get together, while cute, was lackluster after all the build up. I wish they would have put a little more time into that story line instead of some of the other things. (Actually, though, the entire party seemed rushed.)

I don't think you're asking for too much. I don't think it felt as much like a finale as it could have and most of your points help explain why.

Oh, and "Fred" is everything that is wrong with television these days. Shame on the creators of that show.
