I'm literally in the middle of a discussion about the show with a friend (you remember jean, Vonnie!). I knew going into S3 that it had been canceled, so I'm glad it did have closure.
If you're a fervent Anne devotee, it takes a little bit to get used to the changes. It's really Anne AU fanfic, where it looks at the original canon with great affection and then uses that as a base to expand the world into something closer to reality.
you remember jean, Vonnie!
Jeannie from Tuscany trip? There is probably another Jean I'm forgetting, heh.
It's really Anne AU fanfic
That is the perfect description for it. It's an extended universe Anne of Green Gables with a bunch of new characters to populate and enrich the story we all know and love. Same as you, it took me 3-4 episodes to get used to all the non-canon stuff, which I thought initially was unnecessary padding. As a matter of fact, I tried the first 2 eps of the season 1 a couple of years ago and didn't continue because of that reason. But once Matthew brings Anne back to Avonlea, I was in, and I was in allll the way. (Oh my God, so much crying in so many episodes because of Matthew and Marilla. Maybe it's not terrible the show is cancelled because I won't have to see Matthew die. Great, now I'm tearing up just *thinking* about Matthew dying.)
Jeannie from Tuscany trip? There is probably another Jean I'm forgetting, heh.
Heh, no. Jean from Toronto roadtrip and overnight visit.
A-ha! Yes of course I remember now. Brain like a sieve, etc.

We've watched through episode 4 and are pretty into it.
This past weekend, Buffista spirit baby Joy Reid mentioned that HBO is reconsidering it's decision to keep Watchmen a close-ended series. I would be very into another season, as I feel like what it really was was Angela's origin story, and then it ended.
Anyone watching Dispatches From Elsewhere? We saw the first episode last night and we really enjoyed it.
