Time has not changed the past and Patrick Reid remains dead by tiny Corolla bump. During Puberty Blues they sneak peeked at the first scene of Season 5.
And while I'm still on the fence about if and when I'll recap this last season, I gotta admit I enjoyed this teaser. Tonally it felt more reverentially to Patrick's character than anything else before it. It played well the Proudman family connection that they all have and it was moving. And DAMN that baby is CUTE! Patrick's offspring (so intended) certainly is a good one.
I still am concerned that a show that had it's viewers invest so much in Nina's love story, is going to give us a rushed happily ever after with a new dude. Nina as a character was never better than when Patrick was there to balance her out and I'm still concerned that she'll return to zany, Proudman hijinks without the grounding that a tragic event such as this would give the character. Time will tell and with the months of interesting interviews and producers calls for calm, you have to wonder, if the show can't recover - will Matt Le Nevez be smirking somewhat proudly to himself?
