How does it all end? (not as mauldlin as that sounds)

Sooo... I was watching the end of my favorite tv series of all time - prior to Bones. And I've watched this clip like a thousand times (the last 7 mins of JAG):





And I'm wondering how it will feel when we watch the last 7 minutes of Bones. I'm thinking bittersweet. Thoughts?

I'm so glad you commented! As far as I know you're the only one on my f-list that was into JAG. (i will probably be snagging icons, btw)

Watching that last ep, and some clips on youtube, really does make me realize how easy it is on Bones. And you're totally right, sometimes I really resent DPB for taking 10 years of my life, 9 with Harm/Mac, and all I got was those measly 7 minutes? I have to confess that I was so frustrated by season 10 that I never actually watched the whole season, only a few eps and then the last one. Now i regret it because it's not on dvd.

Against the Wind by Sooz is one of my favorite fanfics of all time, not just JAG. There are several more that I want to add to my recs, but I've been re-reading a bunch to try to pare down my list.

back to Bones, I agree whole-heartedly that the team is just as important to me as Booth and Brennan. I don't want to see HH send them all off in various directions at the end of the series. I'd like to be able to imagine them all still together in their little squint world when all this is over.

P.S. - haven't heard much from you in a while. School okay or are you finished?

You're absolutely right, seven minutes doesn't even begin to make up for nine years of "will they won't they" followed by "why the hell not?" I would have loved to see what you wrote as your ideal for Bones (which I would love to see on Bones as well) - getting together but still showing the trials and tribulations of their relationship (I'm sure there would definitely be some).

As far as I can tell season 9 comes out this November, I think the last season shouldn't be too far behind. Honestly it wasn't all that great however there were a few bright spots here and there.

Definitely looking forward to your revised rec list! I have favorites of my own but lost my various bookmarks and lists from one computer to another.

I know I've pretty much disappeared off the face of LJ but yeah school's going ok, just started my fifth year (and also just got my ass kicked by an exam this morning) but all I can do now is just study harder. With that I am off to the library although thank you for asking. Hopefully I will not be a total bum and will actually keep up with the fandom haha. Thanks Doc :o)

*points to stolen icon*

It really would have been nice to see how JAG dealt with the relationship, because with all the drama between those two it would have been really fun to watch. I'm thinking about getting Season 9 in Nov, and just keeping my fingers crossed for Season 10. They show the older ones all the time on cable now.

Would love to hear more about school from you. I'm sure we could commiserate on a few subjects! Hang in there. It'll all be worth it in the end :)
