Well, I am pleased, to hear that I was part of the thought-process for this!
I've been feeling some hankering to go back to the beginning and remind myself of who Gabrielle was back then; she changed so much over the course of the show. And yes, those were eyes-wide-open choices that she made, but from among a slate of non-ideal choices. She can make those choices, and feel no "I should have chosen otherwise regret," but still grieve the outcome of those choices. It really is a marvelous Gabrielle vid.
