When you write about the Golden Girls it can bring a lot of people good memories. But what about my favourite episode? I have so many but I will write about just one and that episode is the Finale.. And I will write about another episode favourite of mine in the future.
The Finale-
In a way this episode was pure Golden Girls, the emotion, the writing and the comedy in with it was one thing I loved about this episode. The 27.2 million American viewers watching the finale, with many millions more watching overseas, which is almost as much as The Simpsons season 1 premiere. I think it was the emotion of the episode that brought the girls together, knowing for them this was the end for the show. As everyone knew from interviews and the intimate portrait that in the end that during season 5 of the show that Bea was done, she had enough. She signed on for season 6-7 and brought an amazing experience to the final season of The Golden Girls. That is and will be my opinion on her final season.
Because of the last words Dorothy says before leaving. "You'll always be my sisters.. always" that includes Sophia as well. But what is great about this episode is the fact that this episode ended the way a series should.
An emotional goodbye and a wedding.
My favourite Sophia quote from that episode was "No.. You need to go and be married now alone.." saying that she wanted Dorothy to be happy without Sophia interfering in his 2nd marriage. Sophia even said that she thought she was to involved in her marriage to Stan and that's what ruined it for her and Stan in the first place, saying she was going to stay in Miami with "her girls".
Seeing Dorothy in the end scene say goodbye, leaving not once but twice, and that is why the episode is so important. For seven seasons they were a family, they laughed and cried together, the goodbye makes it so much more emotional and no doubt other people will think the same, and that's what people need.
