TWuG, you can't enjoy 6 seasons of a show, get to the last episode, and

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) May 24 '10, 06:14

say "Oh, that was a waste." If you enjoyed it the whole time, enjoy it for what it was. Hell, some shows that are enjoyable don't get to end on their own terms.

While it may not have been a wholly satisfying ending to you, *I* watched it every week, enjoyed it over 6 seasons, and am ok with a fairly well wrapped up ending.
