Countdown

Yesterday we got our first taste of the 2006 season finale. I've been wondering what it could possibly be after my confident assertion that "it will be the birth of Sky's baby" was very wrong. Certainly no baby has ever been born peacefully on Ramsay st and little Kerry's birth was no exception.. baby drama AND fire weeks before the finale! How to top that?

Apparently with a Moment of Truth at the Altar scene. And hostages. Whee!

This is similar to 2005 in that the most dramatic moments were played out prior to the finale. It is more satisfying than a cliffhanger because you have been caught by the drama and moved along into it already, rather than just waiting the summer out to see who lives or dies. I wasn't exactly sweating after 2003 to see if Harold survived falling by the side of the road like a sack of potatoes.
