I won't lie to you: I couldn't help myself and watched last night's Gavin & Stacey season finale all over again last night. I'm a sucker for the laughs-and-tears combo of the brilliant British import.You've already read my advance review of Gavin & Stacey's sophomore season finale (the series returns this month in the UK with a Christmas special), which aired Stateside last night, but I am curious to see what you thought of the episode, which featured the birth of Nessa and Smithy's baby, a truce between Bryn and Dave of Dave's Coaches (who knows Bryn and Jason's secret about that fateful fishing trip), and, of course, a possible reconciliation between estranged couple Gavin and Stacey.
Did you think it fitting that Gavlar and Stacey reconnected after seeing Nessa with baby Neil? Did you buy the happy coincidence that Nessa's dad and Smithy both happened to share the same first name? Did you howl with laughter at Nessa's choice of delivery position? Want to scream at Pam to stop trying so hard to please Stacey? And are you going to miss this delightful series as much as I am?
Talk back here.
P.S. You might be asking yourself, "what's occurrin'?" after seeing the above picture of Nessa, which is decidedly NOT from the season finale, but I couldn't help myself as it sums up nearly everything we love about Vanessa Shanessa Jenkins. Tidy.

I adore Gavin and Stacy. The humor isn't forced but grows out of human condition and lovely characters with normal quirks. Nessa is indeed my favorite, played by Ruth Jones - who is also the co-creator and writer, alongside James Cordon who plays Smithy. It appears they are a sensation in England. What a shame series three hasn't been green lit yet.
I can't read everyone's comments. Don't want to be spoiled, but had to speak up.
