Joel & Midge - I Miss You, I'm Sorry

WARNING: LONG POST lol Okay, I know the season 4 finale was a big one for a different ship and I know I am in the minority for shipping these two. But I can’t help it. And I also can’t help but think it’s not a coincidence that Midge finally went for it with Lenny right after learning about Joel and Mei’s baby and possible marriage. And literally right after her set where she states she and Joel are still “something.” Not to mention how jealous she obviously was when Mei showed up at the hospital. That’s totally how you act when you are over someone and ready to move onto someone else. Plus, how many times do they still refer to each other as husband/wife and Susie has to correct them? I don’t know. I just think a lot of their interactions are always very telling.
I don’t want to disparage any other ships, and I do think that Rachel and Luke have great chemistry, it’s just hard for me to root for a couple where one half was a real life figure with a tragic end. There can be no happy ending there. Plus, other than her career, I do not see Lenny ever really fitting into Midge’s life. But I will not get into that here. I also like Mei, but again, I have a hard time seeing her integrate into all the areas of Joel’s life…but then again, we (like him) know so little about her.
I think Joel & Midge will obviously always love each other and will always be…something. There is just too much history and too much love shared. , I don’t think season 4 was as well executed as some of the other seasons (which I think is a fairly common opinion) but I still enjoyed it and I’m excited to see where everything goes next year. I do hope a lot of the things they set up this season that weren’t resolved get tied up.
