I feel like I've lost a best friend...

Yes but revisiting is never the same. I'd prefer the story to continue, though I know it can't.

Never seen any vampire diaries.. to me it's all a rip off of Twilight. Perhaps it's not, but Twilight was popular first, then all of a sudden I'm hearing about all these other vampire things.. to me that's cheesy. LOL

I used to like Charmed too.. but I cannot watch the reruns. Parts of it were just so.. overdone! Like the whole Cole and Phoebe thing. I thought Cole was awesome as a demon.. like the demon who wasn't trying to kill them. Then he was human and sort of pathetic.. then he was the source of all evil and that sucked.. then he came back and was all pathetic again. I mean come on.. real men aren't that pathetic over a girl, even if she does look like Pheobe.. I'm so over it! The whole crud with Leo never being able to be around got old real quick too. And then at the end when they brought that new girl in and her sister.. ugh! If I ever have to see another one of those episodes I'm going to scream! It just seemed like there was always something irritating going on.. like when Paige first learns she's a witch and isn't really helping the sisters and doesn't want to be part of it, then goes and blabs the secret to her friend there.. that was just irritating.. like get with the program, you're a witch and have to vanquish evil.. just do it! But I do have a few favorites I wouldn't mind seeing again.. like the one where Piper and Leo switch powers, the one where Piper turns into a Fury and Cole hits her with an energy ball.. there's a few others too but those are the ones that come to mind.

haha. yeah, the first seasons were the best. i liked it better when cole was a demon too. i think the new girl was brought in to increase ratings but it didn't really work out, i guess. i didn't like that story line either, the story revolved more on her and her sister than the actual charmed sisters. i like prue's seasons better. too bad shannen doherty quit the show. it was better when constance burge was on board too. but i still like charmed anyway :)

I like detective novels. Right now I'm looking forward to the new Monk book in that series. It's based on the TV show about a police detective in San Fransisco who is obsessive compulsive and afraid of everything like germs and milk, but he's got this unbelieveable eye for tiny details that normal people over look. I love those books.

Starting a new book is not the same as you want to read more about your favorite characters and their adventures.

Just because I'm sad that it ended doesn't mean I haven't picked up other books and found new favorites.. but still there's a sense of loss there. I really don't think I'd mind if a favorite character just kept going and going. I mean look at like Nancy Drew who was loved by millions of teenage girls back in the 70's... there are dozens of Nancy Drew stories.. that series really never did have to end. If they wanted to they could create brand new Nancy Drew stories today and people would love them.

All good stories have to come to an end though. If the story just kept going... I don't think it would stay good. Would you really want your favorite characters to constantly be in a state of adventure, peril, danger, drama, and all the things that make fiction good? I know at one point, I want the story to end. I want there to be a happy or mostly wrapped up ending. Even if I love the characters, I doubt I could love a series that just went on forever. I'm constantly reading, so I'm always discovering more character I love and more great stories. I have my favorites, but there's so many books out there just waiting to be loved! There's no reason to pine after the ending of a series that deserved a good ending.
