Basking In The BB After Glow
First of all, I see that the open thread has dropped way down out of sight. And other threads are being used for that. So everyone who wants, feel free to co-opt this one for general comment or socializing if it makes it a little easier to find somewhere for that close to the top.
Anyway, I've been posting here since about the beginning and have enjoyed it. Really enjoyed getting to "talk" to many here, especially the "regulars". And I think this brief period just after the final episode is about my favorite time. It's when the forum slows down enough that it's not all bunched up and frantic and you feel like what you say may actually be read before it spins off into space. And, the regular forumites are likely to still be out and about.
It's kinda like the leaves are falling in the BB world, the moon's up and the stars are coming out. And it's getting colder. But there's still a nice warm feeling of enjoyment and satisfaction with what we just witnessed, being the end to the best writing and acting to be seen in decades of TV history.
So, this is my last post.
I'll of course tune in next season, but my personal hunch is that it won't and can't match up artistically to what came before. Frankly, I think there's no where meaningful left to go that's either not way too obvious, or that would only be a pale shadow of what was. I expect that'll show in the ratings. They just should have ended it here, in other words.
But, since it's to continue, I'd offer a little word of advice. To keep it interesting I'd take the story into completely different territory. Don't just re-start it with JnW cooking meth for the cartel or someone. Have them strike out in a whole new direction with other and different story lines.
Anyway, it's been a pleasure. Take care...
