If Tomorrow Never Comes, Good Bye Rayna James

As a fan of many TV shows. it is always sad to watch your favorite shows kill off a main character. Most shows kill off characters fast and sometimes brutal, Sometimes you see it coming. The AMC TV series The Walking Dead has become a true champion of killing off fan favorites. Sometimes we celebrate when a character is killed off depending if they where a hero or villain.

The last time I cried over a characters death was when Beth Green was shot in the head on "The Walking Dead" I was ripped apart because I did not expect it. Before that was JR Ewing in the Dallas reboot on TNT, Larry Hagman died the year before that but the writers gave him a great send off.

However Last night I watched Nashville episode " If Tomorrow Never Comes" I was heart broken and Devastated and shocked in my TV world that Rayna James (Connie Britton) died. This was a heart felt tear jerking episode of epic proportions. This was not so much how or why she died as what happened when she died. This episode was one of the best written episodes of any show that killed off a major character. It was what happened building up to the moment of her death. She was getting better then took a turn for the worse and from that moment, the gathering of friends and family. Decon's (Charles Esten) heartbreak and the struggle of Maddie (Lennon Stella) to get to the hospital before her Mom dies. And then you have the youngest daughter Daphne (Maisy Stella) cuddling with her mom one last time. But I can't forget Decon pleading with Rayna not to leave him and the moment she passed as the family hugged and cried was overwhelming because I have witnessed a family member die in almost the same way. I related to this episode in a big way.

I have to wonder what is going to happen to the cast of the show now. How will this affect them? How will the show change because now it has to. What is going to become of Highway 65. The two I am most worried about is Decon and Maddie, and yet there  is Daphne, her role in the story is getting bigger. Big changes are for sure coming. Nashville will never be the same.

WHAT I LIKED

What was not to like? This movie had it all, action, comedy and a little drama, but I would consider it more of a dark comedy. The movie starts out very dark and kind of depressing but then all hell breaks lose. This movie is FUBAR in the best way possible. The FUBAR makes the movie and it is pure adrenaline entertainment. Before this, the only movies I have seen Jesse Eisenburg in is Zombieland, Social Network and Now you See Me. This was a perfect movie for him, I could not imagine any one else in that role. Kristen Stewart was awesome, Her and Eisenburg was a great match, they fit together well. Watching Connie Britton use the F word was poetry. She was kick ass.

WHAT I DID NOT LIKE

This does not apply this time, this movie caught me buy surprise, I did not expect to be this much of a rush and that good. So I would not like any bad reviews

Movie was rated a very well deserved R for foul language, heavy violent images, I would not recommend for family viewing

I gave this a 10 on IMDB, and thanks to LIONSGATE  for providing free passes, I was able to see this on the big screen, and it is very well worth the price of a ticket, I will buy this on Blue Ray
