Is Grace Going to Die?

Before I start my ramble, I got say a big ttttthhhhppppptttttt to TNT and the people in charge of their website.  They have next to no decent publicity stills and the few that I can find, you can’t save a decent sized image to post on your blog.  I mean, they DO want people to talk about the show, right?  Sheesh.

Okay, onto the show.  Who all is watching it?  I do like it, although I don’t really like Grace.  I’m not sure we’re supposed to.  She’s a bit of a tramp, unapologetic about it and she definitely living the hard life.  I do like Earl.  I like some of Grace’s friends.  And if she sleeps with Stillwater, I’m going to get ticked off.  Some guy on this show, besides Earl, needs to show some restraint.

I do like the person I suspect Grace could be if she hadn’t let her past screw her up.  And I do think she has control over that.  A lot of people have had lousy childhoods and a lot of people have suffered serious loss and heartbreak without turning into a drunk that lays everything with the right equipment.  I like the promise she holds, the person that Earl seems to feel she could be.

And I really like Earl.  Did I mention that part?

I had a speculation when I was watching Saving Grace last week.  I’m wondering if the series won’t end with Grace dying.  I could see this being a short series, purposefully, maybe only planned to run a few seasons and the ending will come when Grace dies.

Why do I think this? I could be wrong.  She’s definitely on a fast track to an ugly end, and I mean the ultimate of all ends.  So maybe Earl, her angel, is there to pull her out of this downward spiral.

So far though, it seems Earl likes to show his face to those who are already one foot in the grave.  A convicted murderer on death row, an aunt of Grace that has been told she has less than two months to live.  So is Grace dancing with death and doesn’t even realize it?

Only time will tell, but it’s an interesting thought.
