Best. Television. Show. Ever.

I'll admit, I have been prone to falling head over heels in love with tv shows recently and then not liking them quite so much when I have a chance to mull it over, but right, now having just finished the thee seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender, I'm just..squeeful and satisfied and happy.

Very few shows manage to sustain an arc like that, with a beginning middle and end, character growth, and engaging suprising plots, while still making the individual episodes and moments entertaining and fresh.

I've recently been in the mood for romance novel and romance-novel-like stories, and have been pondering what exactly it is I've been seeking since some non-romantic stories hit the spot and many romantic ones don't. Reading fanfic has helped make this more obvious since you can so finely control exactly what kind of story you're looking for (to a point). EDIT: I read other types of stories too! Just sometimes I get a craving for a particular sort.

And I've decided that while some of it is that I'm just feeling soppy or whatever, what I'm really after is the characters going through a major positive change in themselves and their lives leading to a satisfying happily-ever-after ending(*).
