I don't know how anyone can have watched all of this and not be totally in love with all the characters - it had mixed reviews by the look of it. How you can not love that Milo has started smelling better, and has picked up a girlfriend (let's say these two things may be connected). Or that Bill and Shelli are a natural couple. How can you not just love West Coast, and everything about him, and how we know he will stay in touch with the Devil Child, because we believe him. We have grown to rely on the reliable Gooch, and we want Donna to be happy with her baby and girl. And above all, we want Double D and Pistachio (ah - that great moment!) to get together and for Double D to save the tour - we think he will, he's working on something - and to get us into Season 2 (sadly never happened). And don't you love that after seeing Kelly Ann's new film - which is also the season highlights, of course - that there is that dramatic end of film running scene which is supposedly crap but which we and Cameron and Wilder all know isn't true. (And that ramp and stage door look suspiciously like the one in Almost Famous.)
This is the episode for which you could criticise Cameron for being indulgent, like the end of Elizabethtown, with its score of guest artists and their performances - Eddie Vedder, Robyn Hitchcock, Jim James, Gary Clark Jr., Jackson Browne and Lucius and Greg Leisz. But you can't. Because it's ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC, you see?
