On TV Series, Books and Endings

You know that feeling, when you come to the end of a book and wish you hadn’t?
Like, with Films there’s always an Ending (with a capital E) and everything gets tied up in a nice little bow. But so many books end on a sort of, “huh…” and then there is no more and you’ll never know if White Fang went on to have more adventures or not.

Did he get over his injuries? Did Collie ever stop being a Bitch?
Dammit, why can’t I know?!

The other place this happens a lot is TV Shows. This can be because they got cancelled (possible due to Fox Network being a load of dicks), the latest season has not started yet or that’s how they choose to end it. Regardless of why, it is really fucking annoying.
I fear change and get very attached to the things I watch and the characters there in. You watch and you watch and over time you grow to love the characters and then suddenly, one day, that’s it. You get to the end of a seemingly innocuous episode, never suspecting the abandonment just around the corner, and BAM! There is no more. It’s like the TV show is saying, “Look, I know we’ve had good times together and it’s been fun, really, but we both knew it had to come to an end one day.”

We’ll always have Hallmark.

Law and Order: SVU is one of my favourite shows ever and it fucking finished. You watch a show from the very beginning, you think you know it, you think you have a connection and then it goes and finishes without any concern for your feelings or how you’re going to fill the void it has left in your life.

My planner is empty and I feel weird inside.

Ok, I just Googled it and it would seem that I have seen to the end of season 10 and they are currently making season 12…
So where are the new episodes? Why has Hallmark gone back to the beginning? WHY ARE THEY DOING THIS TO ME?!

The last episode I watched was filmed in June 2009. Does this mean I’ll have to wait till next year for the newer episodes to hit Hallmark? Why wont IMDb tell me what channel they’re on? Why are they all conspiring against me?

Now there’s a very good chance I wont know they’re airing the new episodes until I’ve already missed most of the season (which happened with House and Lie To Me) and then what the fuck will I do? I’ll have to wait for Hallmark to play them from the beginning all over again! I cannot wait that long!

I’m going to go find a quiet corner and have a little cry.
