B X J Forever (2021) Episode 8: Forever

Not everyone will be delighted with Episode 8: Forever. But personally, I'm satisfied with this finale. It's relatable and realistic. And even though it's a bit sad, it's quite hopeful in the end. Bogs and Francia, my favorite couple, are now happy as they continue to fight against discrimination and struggle for equality. Dante is finally looking towards his future as he goes back to school to earn a diploma. The Dante and Flo ship has a future too! Sure I would have wanted more character background and character development for Amber and Burn, but Olan and Yana staying as best friends forever (BFF) and not ending up together is good enough for me. I love Olan and Yana's chemistry! Val deserves to be happy too! At least Leo looks well. And his singing voice sounded nice too! While I'm sad for Jim, I can understand why Ben and Roy together makes more sense. For now, it's Ben and Roy. And since Ben and Jim's love for each other is forever (B X J Forever!)... who knows what the future holds? Screenplay had a few cheesy and preachy lines but overall, it was fine. There were numerous sensible and sensitive dialogues that were quite good. Acting was mostly on point. The actors who played Ben's father and Jim's father were the weak links for this episode. Even their lip movements weren't in sync with their spoken vocals. Jerome was really good but Royce was the best! No role is too big or too small for the excellence of Royce. Production design and cinematography were up to par. Soundtrack "The One" by Johannes by really nice. All in all, this was a very good finale. Would I want another season? Hmmm... that's something to think about.
