I am with you Merlinloverxx. I can't even bring myself to watch the last episode again. I've only watched it once, but it was too painful to review. I guess with so much sadness in the world it is hard for me to wallow in this type of show. It came on the eve of a joyous holy day (Christmas) and ended with such tragedy. I'm from the U.S. and we had just experienced real life tragedy with the murder of 20 kindergarten children and 6 school staff. It hit us all very hard here. Then, to watch a show that only added to my grief.

Then I was equally pained on Christmas Day with the BBC choosing to sack another main character by killing him off the show Downton Abbey. Holidays should be filled with episodes that give hope, not pain.

As I try to recover from this I have saturated myself in The Vampire Diaries with a drink of cheer. At least American shows have lighthearted fanciful endings with hope.
