Pretty much every TV show has ended at some point. Once got 7 seasons which is more than a lot of those failed ABC “pilots” got in episodes. There are some genre shows that seem go over for 13 or so seasons, but it also depends on what’s demanded of them.

Season 7 was essentially a business move and the decision to cancel was also a business move. Wrap up this epilogue in a nice bow and it’ll make a great dvd set.

I understand, we you have to admit some very poor choices were made

Under other circumstances, I bet the show could have gotten a 8th season

Poor choices were made? Yep. But some is rotten from the head down (I think Adam and Eddy did wonders, but I think that Once’s end is a necessary break for them. I think it’s pretty clear that Once had a typical 5 season stretch than was extended and didn’t do it many favors.

I binge-watched Supernatural and it was a 5 season story thing, but hey, it’s still going strong at season 13, even though it’s running into some narrative flaws. Similar things happen with many shows.

Plus, what was relatively good on Once was that it experimented with some things. This end also gives actors and actresses and the writers and crew the chance to bridge out (even if it’s another Adam and Eddy show, down the line). I’d like to see Adam and Eddy and Jane co-run a show again (or some combination with a strong new talent to round out the duo). I’d like to see where Lana and Colin go. I haven’t seen them in much, but this hopefully gives them room to not be one-note (as in character: They’ve been playing the same character for years now). So much potential.
