Goodbye, Mr. Monk: marathon

Mr. Monk is on the Run Fanvideo

Okay, so I am pretty bored as I countdown the hours to the final season premiere. So, I've been taking out my boredom in creative ways. First up, a fanvideo solely for the "Mr. Monk is on the Run" episodes. I know it's been like a year and a half since those episodes premiered, but even to this day when I watch them, it's like watching them all over again. I know Mr. Monk is always going to win in the end, but I can't help watching from the edge of my seat, lol. It's definitely timeless.

Anyways, this video is set to a song that I'm not 100 percent a fan of (it's annoyingly catchy in my opinion), but as soon as I heard the lyrics, my mind kept coming back to these two episodes particularly and thus the idea was born. The song, Lost In Your Own Life, is by Alexa Vega. It's from the new ABC Family series, Ruby and the Rockits.

Like just about everything Monk-related I do, this video consists of Monk and Natalie as opposed to all characters. However, unlike most Monk/Natalie things I do, this one can be taken as either platonic or shippy - at least it can go either way in my opinion. So if you prefer one over the other, I hope you still give this video a chance.

This is just one of many fanvideos to come :) By the way, I want to remind everyone that starting tomorrow morning, there will be miny 2-3 episode marathons of Monk starting at 6 a.m. EST. This will go on until Friday. On Friday, the marathon will go for most of the day (still starting at the same time of morning).

2 Weeks / Wish List

Can you believe it!? Only 2 weeks left until the final season of Monk begins! It's just so hard to believe this day has -almost- come.

So, I'm about to begin a marathon of episodes with seasons 3-5 (the only seasons I currently own) which will last over the next two weeks. I will then watch the season 7 marathon that takes place on the 7th on USA Network to round out my marathon.

But before I watch the first episode, I thought I'd post a wish list of some things I'd like to see in season 8 before the show comes to an end. All of these are my personal and very random wishes and I know many if not all of them won't see fruition.

Being a Monk/Natalie shipper, I definitely want to see something happen with them! I don't need anything over the top or totally unbelievable, but I hope they leave it with them being "together" together...lol.
I would really like to hear Natalie call Monk by his first name! She's only ever said it twice (maybe 3 times). She said it once or twice in Mr. Monk and the Red Herring and once last season in Mr. Monk Gets Hypnotized - which made me squee so loud!
I hope Benji returns with Sharona when Bitty Schram guest stars. He and Julie should be about the same age so that could be interesting ;)
Speaking of Julie, a graduation episode would be really cute. Or maybe an episode right before she's about to go off to college. That would be VERY interesting!!
We already know Trudy's case is going to finally be solved...but what about Mitch? Poor Natalie seems to be having a very hard time letting go too, more than I think she'd care to admit. I'd like to see some closure with that too!

Those are my top 5. I've thought of a few more before, but can't think of them off the top of my head. Does anyone else have a wish list of things they'd like to see happen? This is just for fun, of course, so any suggestion is okay whether it happens, whether it's for a different ship, or whether it's just plain zany. Wish list away :)
