Goodbye moon

If you have ever read the children's book Goodnight Moon, you know it is a very simple book. Essentially the child says goodnight to all the objects in his/her room before going to bed. May 13, 2011, I will be doing  a similar thing. It will be the best of times, it will be the worst of times. We all knew it would happen one day; however, I find myself sorely unprepared for its ending. May 13, 2011 is the last time Smallville will grace our television screens live. All the characters which we have grown to love, (or hate), will leave us concerned for their fates in offscreenville. No more cliff hanger finales, no more mid season hiatus, no more visiting websites to get spoilers concerning future episodes. No more Smallville.  Yes, we'll still have Young Justice, and Batman the Brave and the Bold but animated shows don't allow you to have a true emotional attachment to the characters like a live action show can. Oh well, maybe someone will make a spin off sometime in the near future. But in till then, after 10 years (4.5 for myself), it is time to say our farewell. Goodbye Clark. Goodbye Lois. Goodbye Ollie. Goodbye Chloe. Goodnight moon.
