The End of the West Wing


***Probably some spoilers in here***

Just got to the end of the very last episode of the very last season of The West Wing. Why they ended it... well, I suppose I can come up with some reasons. It would have been hard to continue the show the way it was before, maybe. There was a natural point to end, it's true. Some of the actors wanted to go do other things, perhaps. The ratings were down, that's true too. And yet...


And yet the ratings were still bloody good, and I can't believe that most of the actors couldn't have been persuaded to stay around, or at least enough to keep the show going, and the show, even in its less well regarded final series was still superb.

There is another side to this though; given that I have final year finally looming, perhaps it's for the best that I have no choice but to put my obsession behind me? Maybe.

Maybe.
