Yes, thanks to all of you for sharing, whether doom or gloom or cynical this is why it went boom, or hope and pretties, it all comes around to the fact this part of the story, this pair of characters and their journey touched us and connected with us in various ways. I love reading the hopeful stuff too because in the end a story about wish fulfillment, second chances, true love and magic, happy endings and all that Jazz sort of invites that kind of thing. I think it is natural in a story like this to continue to imagine what ifs, along with talking about the wonderful bits of story we did get.
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?” -- Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking-Glass
