There's some kind of safety in watching a series that has already finished. For me, anyways. My whole fandom/obsessive thing started with Buffy and when I started watching, I think it was about six months since Chosen had aired- so I always knew there was an end in sight.

And to be honest, I kind of wonder if part of the hatey hate for season seven is that it's the last season- a kind of anger at the show for ending? I could be wrong, just talking crap. But I wonder.

Off the top of my head, I watched Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Tru Calling, Gilmore Girls and Six Feet Under in their entirety after they had finished. Of all of those, Six Feet Under's finale was probably the easiest to watch- it was just so fitting. For the record, my Buffy obsession was taking place while Angel was still airing, but I didn't have a TV or internet at that time. (Me without internet? Seriously? I have no idea how I managed that.)

And now I am watching Bones. Sigh. SO much more attached than I thought I would be, and now I am getting close to being up to date- up to 4.03- and my OTP have broken up and I don't know what to do! Of all the pairings on any show I have ever seen, this is my favourite, and from the spoilers I've read so far, I don't think I'm going to cope really well with the upcoming episodes.
