We'll stay forever this way...

This is not a post about Titanic even though the title is a line from the song My Heart Will Go On (which maybe is stuck in my head a little bit at the moment or something). 

This is a post about tv shows. Yay, more musings on tv shows. 

I'm about to reach the end of the three original seasons of Arrested Development. The fourth season (and now, apparently a fifth?) was added on years later on Netflix. I'm not sure if I'll watch it. I assume they intended for the show to end after season 3 and therefore any additional ones are kind of... iffy. If that makes sense. This can also apply to the Millennium Trilogy and how recently a fourth book written by not Stieg Larsson has been published. And it also applies to the final (10th) season of Law and Order CI. All three things ended, and then were revived later. (4th season of Arrested Development, 10th season of CI, book 4 in the Millennium series) 

I figure, I enjoyed the original run of these things so why possibly let the later additions to them be possibly disappointing? Hence the "We'll stay forever this way..." title to the post. I'm going to purposefully avoid consuming the post scripts, if you will, or perhaps you can call them epilogues... well, you get the idea. That's how I consider them, at least. So that I don't have to worry that the additions won't live up to my expectations. I'm okay with how the things originally ended so I don't necessarily need to watch the epilogues and see an additional ending. 

Although of course perhaps I wonder what happens to the detectives, or the Bluth family, or Salander and Blomkvist after their respective original stories ended, I'm okay with just leaving it at that. The fear of disappointment is greater than the desire to know what happens in the post scripts. 

Also, an update on Criminal Minds: haven't been watching that since I got into Arrested Development, but seeing as I only have like two more episodes of that left, perhaps I'll start back into watching Criminal Minds. I think I'm in the middle of season 6 or so. Maybe like 1/3 into that season. Something thereabouts.
