New season, new topic!
This season, we’re talking about how television shows bring their stories to a close, and how that affects the fandom. We’ll talk about great endings and terrible endings. Shows that got to go out on their own terms and shows that were canceled, only to later be revived in a new format.
And of course, there will be discussion about the ending of Supernatural. A LOT of discussion.
