Sadness

Hey, guys.

So, I'm not feeling too well at the moment. A little sad, a little depressed. You know, all that fun stuff.

Y'know, it's like... my mind's accepted it, yeah? I know the show's going to end eventually. All things do, it's a fact of life. And five seasons is a long time for a show to be on the air, especially a show marketed at kids. And yet... I guess the younger, more gullible part of me wanted to believe that it could go on a bit longer.

Now, don't get me wrong. I know the show will have a sixth season. If this was the last season, they'd have marketed it as such from the get-go. But I can see the writing on the wall, you know? I'm a filmmaker and a screenwriter; I know how a story ends. You give your characters closure. You resolve long-running story elements. And that's what this last episode did. It gave the CMC closure. Now, will we see them in future episodes? Yes, more than likely. But the point is that their story in the larger narrative is now over. And I've read what was leaked for the season 5 finale, and that just sounds like they're bringing two more character's stories to a complete end. Things are finally slowing down, even if they'll keep it going another season.

I dunno, guys. I mean, it's just a show, right? Why the hell am I getting so worked up over this? It's not like the fandom's going to disappear or anything, it's just... The show's been part of my life for a long time. You've all been part of my my life for a long time. I love the universe and I love the characters. It's just like a book, yeah? Once you finish it, the story's over. That's it, it's done. And I guess I just kinda want the story to keep going.

Thanks for listening to me ramble on and on here. I gotta go to bed now. Have a good night, everyone.
