Goodbye to Bloo (Series Finale?) - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

Actually, thinking about it, "jumping the shark" was yet another feat which Bloo had technically already pulled off. Well alright, "Bloo" may not have done it, but "Deo" did (according to the TV announcer in the Sweet Stench of Success - we didn't actually get to see it, mind). I guess that since he didn't actually do it with Mac, it met the criteria.

The various nods and throwbacks to several of the previous episodes throughout were nice (LOVED the Orlando Bloo reprise), though there was a pretty poignant undertone to them which was hard to miss - basically, the writers seemed to be acknowledging that they had exhausted all the possibilities of this particular world and that the time was right to close the book on it. That in itself is what gave the episode such an impending sense of finality for me - like many people here, I'd deduced that Mac wouldn't be going anywhere far, and I liked how open-ended they kept the basic set-up at the end, with no particularly earth-shattering alterations, other than the indefinite arrival of Cheese (which, incidentally, is something which they probably could've only gotten away with in the show's final episode - otherwise they'd maybe be baiting the JTS label a bit too much for real, as I'm sure this episode was fully aware).

Anyway, it was the perfect send-off for the show - all the trademark heart and humour was present, and I really appreciated the large volume of minor characters who were able to put in cameo appearances throughout.

Goodbye is the hardest word to say, so...I'll stop short of making an all-too obvious (not to mention seriously inappropriate) Not The Nine O'Clock News reference, and simply say "Later Days".
