You’re so right! I find that, even with finales that I love, a lot of times comedy finales sometimes kind of... forget to be funny. Usually because they are jam packed with so much sentimentality and even drama for some reason. Which can be good depending on the show but definitely not b99’s style. Even though there are many sad moments since we’re saying goodbye, it’s not actually goodbye. It’s a celebration of a show we all love that takes place in this fictional, absurder but kinder world. Because these characters aren’t actually gonna leave each other’s lives, and they won’t leave ours either. Like Stephanie said, the universe they live in will exist forever.
Spot on Anon. I have to say the same. I’ve noticed that often they’re trying to just overwhelm us with nostalgia and feels that they just leave the funny out. Whereas there was hardly a moment last night where I wasn’t laughing. They brought their A Game for the finale! And yes there were those moments of sadness but they kept them brief and for the most part to the end.
It was such a love letter to the show. Every reference, every little Easter Egg. They wrote a hour celebration and invited us all along for the ride. Could not have asked for a better finale.
And yes!! This universe lives on forever. And I am expecting all of our talented fanfic writers to keep AO3 alive 👀
Thank you lovely Anon!! Your words got me misty eyed again. So lovely.
