The end of Merlin

[corilannam]

Well, we certainly saw it coming a mile away (or really about 4 years away -- as Colin pointed out in his statement, it was always supposed to be a 5-year show). Yet I'm still having a lot of pretty unhappy emotions at the news that the show is, in fact, ending after the current season

Yes, I agree completely with everything you've written.

Up above you mentioned the idea of a virtual season. I am hardly the fest organizing type, but wouldn't it be wonderful if there were a fandom event of some kind after the series ends to write alternative (or continuation) episodes?

I'm going to needs lots of that, I can tell.

I've seen a number of virtual seasons start up in various fandoms over the years, and almost all of them failed because it's such a considerable undertaking. However, I think a general continuation/fix-it fest would be a fantastic idea! I guess we can see what the exact theme should be when we know exactly what we're dealing with after the finale....

I completely agree, and I want your potential story lines, as well, especially the first two!!!!!

At least we have fandom to rely on now...and sometimes, I think that's better than what some of the show's writers do...
