I think we're past denial and anger and into bargaining. The threads have been dead today. Except the games. Especially the role playing games. I don't go there (I'm not good at them beyond all the playing I do to get through the day), I just watch the number of new posts. Actually, the game thread traffic went up almost as soon as the CW/WB press release came out last Thursday. Perhaps there is some sort of magical thinking going on. "If we all work to move the characters and plot forward, the real show will get energy from that and come back". Hey, it worked for Tinker-bell.

For those of you who have a real seven year investment in GG, I know it's hard to let go. I am, probably, one of two GG fans who had an 11 year investment in M.A.S.H. and grieved at its demise. But, I came late to GG.

From Christmas Day 2006 to January 20, 2007, I watched every episode from 1.1 to 6.22, twice. Except 2.3 (Red Light). I still haven't been able to bring myself to watch that one. I started season 7 "live" at 7.12 (To Whom..) and I saw a few of the 7.1 to 7.11 episodes during the hiatus.

After having watched all the 1-6 seasons so close together, the awfulness of season 7 was a shock to me. 13 was maudlin and contrived. Episodes 14 and 15 were just awful. "Will You" (7.16) was great. 17 and 18 were rotten. 19 was wonderful. 20 was spotty.

Lauren has said at TV Guide, in Newsweek and on Ellen, today, that ending was the best choice. Given the post-ASP incompetence of the writing, I have to agree with her. My hope is that like me, all of you (the two who actually read this) can skip depression and go straight to acceptance.

As Bogie said to Ingrid, "We will always have Paris". (The character, not the city.:lol: )
