9/11/2023 0 Comments Halt and catchThough he remains a fascinating and flawed former antihero - one who was born in an era where men broke bad but who became his best self after he was broken - focusing on Cameron and Donna (Kerry Bishe) in the last hour was indicative of a series that adapted with the times. What will he do next? For that, we need to backtrack again. Joe largely took a backseat in the finale, and the episode was better for it. Or maybe he’s hoping the real Cameron will show up, as indicated by the photo he keeps of her in his office. In a callback to the first episode, Joe MacMillan (Lee Pace) walks in front of a classroom and says, “Let me start by asking a question.” Anyone who remembers the pilot episode knows that question will be, “How many of you desire to be computer engineers?” And perhaps Joe is hoping to see the next generation of Cameron Howe ( Mackenzie Davis) walk in, plop down in the back row, and impress him. There aren’t a lot of TV shows that could get away with ending on a Peter Gabriel song - especially “Solsbury Hill” - but then there aren’t a lot of shows like “Halt and Catch Fire.” From the second the familiar strumming started, tears flowed and the question of how AMC’s one-of-a-kind drama series would end was answered: It ended as it began, literally and figuratively.
