I've seen all of New Amsterdam now, and I'm alternately mopey, pissed, and in denial about the fact that there isn't going to be any more of it. Ever.
Now I know how fans of Firefly who came upon the show years later must feel. In fact… this is even worse. A new Firefly fan in 2012 stumbles over the show, watches all of it, falls in love with the characters and the writing and the world, and then, if they want to, they can immediately start participating in a very active, cheerful, prolific fandom that was so vocal it got a movie and still has all kinds of events and fan meetups all over the place. All I've got are a couple of inactive lj communities, a message board that hasn't had any new threads for four years or new posts for one, and a couple of fanfics scattered about the internet. This is even marginally true for shows like… say… Xena, or Magnificent Seven, or Robin Hood. Off the air? Yes. Forgotten? Not even a little bit.
