Another plane crash, this one in India. (Counting the Africa one as the first one.) This makes me a bit nervous. That's silly though right ( Read more... )

Oh yeah, Cheers. I'd forgotten that - I was a regular viewer and remember the finale as very bittersweet. That was a good one. I'm one who remembers the M*A*S*H series and finale. I watched ever single ep of that show and was very invested in the story and the characters. The finale was the most watched tv show for decades, if I'm remembering right, finally being knocked out by a football game.

Guess you are right, there seems to be one for each decade. To me, Lost seems bigger than that, but that's probably because it's had a greater impact on my life; new friends *hugs*, re-awakened creative efforts, serious fangirling. You know, the big stuff!

I have vague memories of the end of MASH. I didn't watch it, but I'm sure my parents did. And of course I have since seen the series.

Lost is big. For a lot of us. I should make a post about that, but it's maybe too big, and I don't want to think about it ending that way.

It's interesting loking back on other finals like that! I remember MASH and vaguely recall Cheers, but despite being botha huge Remington Steele and X-Files fan, I don't remember either of them!

What's the Tommy Westphall thing? Is that like the Bobby Ewing 'dream' of the previous season from Dallas in the eighties? Not that I watched that any more at that point; I kind of gave up somewhere along the line!

Lost will really be an amazing end of an era though, especially from my perspective; it's the first TV fandom I've followed and been so heavily involved in *hugs for your watch tomorrow night! Think of me in a week's time in the same place! ;-)

It is like the Dallas dream thing -- I'd forgotten that. At the end of St. Elsewhere it turned out it had all existed in the mind of an autistic boy who liked to stare into a snowglobe with the hospital in it.

I will think of you! In a way it would be torment to wait, but on the other hand you get to hang on just that much longer.

I stopped watching X-Files S7 too! And I think Moonlighting ended with them walking past the TV crew/cameras and realising it was a show.

I'm sure there are those who will disagree, but there wasn't much left of the Xfiles by season seven to keep watching.

Thanks...I looked up the end of Moonlighting yesterday after I wrote that. I do vaguely remember that now.

Congrats on the cleaning. You know SK will tear it to pieces while you're gone, right? ;) Don't be mad; it's a gesture of love...it's her way of saying she misses you.

We'll have to talk tomorrow. Although I don't want tomorrow to come. I want it to be tonight forever.

But hold my hand and it'll all turn out fine. It will. That is my mantra, and my tattoo is my talisman. I'm all set in the zen sphere. If mantras and talismen are zen, that is. ;)

Thanks, darlin'. I'm sure SK can make a mess but not as good as I can.

It will be fine. I command it.
