And now for some sads.

++ Lost Girl will end after its upcoming fifth season. This is bittersweet news, because while S4 was a complete shitfest I still cannot deny having loved the show and its run, and it'll be sad to see it go. But at the same time, it's understandable, and from the way things have been going I definitely feel like it's time. At least they're concluding the story on their terms. Although I'm curious, since they announced they were getting a new showrunner, if there was something that prompted this decision or was it just timing? Regardless, I'm hoping S5 learns from S4's mistakes and that the series has a satisfactory ending.

++ Longmire has been canceled, although they are shopping the show around to see who will might pick it up. Now I'll confess that I've been like wayyyyy behind on my Longmire watching, but hearing this news is kind of sad. I don't know if it'll have much chance, but I hope they find a home elsewhere, if only to just conclude the story proper on their terms since I heard they recently ended on a cliffhanger.

I'm hoping so, too. :)

That's a bummer about Lost Girl, although Season 4 was a right mess, so maybe it's for the best.

Yeah, I agree, and I really don't want them to suffer the unfortunate fate of extending the show longer than it needs to be while continuing going downhill like so many shows do. S4 was kind of proof that they're kind of losing a bit of steam, so it's definitely for the best to kind of end the show at this point.

I'm sad to see Lost Girl end because even when it hasn't been as good, I still kind of enjoyed watching it.

Pretty much. As much as I disliked S4, it doesn't mean I'll be happy the show is coming to an end. I just think it's at the right moment when they should be concluding the story.

But that video though, you can tell that the actors really enjoyed working on the show and that they'll miss that environment, so it's all bittersweet.

Yeah. Me too.

Yeah. I think they made friends with each other and they'll miss shooting the show together.

I'm sad about Longmire. I had a complicated relationship with it, in that I liked the books so much more, but I do hope the show finds a new home. There was indeed something of a cliffhanger, and it would be sad to leave it there.

I hate it when shows get canceled right on a cliffhanger, like I feel like there's nothing worse to have happen. If they can get another home, I sincerely hope the show can at least give it a proper conclusion.

I'm surprisingly more sad about the news for LG than I'd have expected myself to be, since it ranks as an alright show for me. I don't know if s4's mess was because they didn't have a good idea from how to progress from s3 (which is so strange given how much steam s3 had built up) but still, what a bummer.

It's not a perfect show, and last season was definitely my least favorite of them all, but damn if it hasn't been entertaining and something good for me to watch. I've been invested with these characters for a good while that to see them conclude the story next season is kind of sad. :/

Yeah, it's definitely bittersweet. Lost Girl S4 was incredibly disappointing save for maybe one or two episodes, but it's also been such an important show to me in the long run. I'm just hoping that they shape it up for the finale run.

Also I'm still holding out hope that Kenzi and Hale come back but I don't know if I have that much confidence in the writers.

Pretty much the same sentiments. I've loved this show, and even though it's had its disappointments I'll be sad to see it go. But you figure, there has to be the right time for something to end. I'd rather Lost Girl end on a good note rather than drag it along for many seasons like other shows do. But as I said, I hope that they've learned from the mistakes S4 made and give the show an excellent sendoff.

Also I'm still holding out hope that Kenzi and Hale come back but I don't know if I have that much confidence in the writers.

I'm pretty positive that the entire season is going to be focused on getting Kenzi back. Hale, not so much. :/
