To me, theirs still a lot of episodes to go. So yes, this could be the end. I dont care what decision they make, as long as they dont botch it up in the end. This has been a very good series one to remember and watch over and over again in the coming years. All in all, I have to watch the first to last, to see how they compare to other series out there. Character development doesnt seem to have changed through out the entirety of all the seasons. kinda feel bad about that, but the story was always good. The characters... You could probably say that they we're at their full development from the start. This isn't goodbye yet, I've got about five seasons to go yet.
