Why this must be read: Nothing lasts forever. In the final episode of Sports Night, the station is bought out by a rugged-jawed venture capitalist who, the implication is, will ensure the show's survival ad infinitum. But, as we all know, the real world doesn't work like that. Everything ends, and it's easy to take that fact and spin a bleak, dark story full of sadness. It's much more difficult to take the same fact and turn it into a beacon of hope for the future, but this is whattorchthisnow has done here. Some of our characters have already moved on, some of them are still assessing their different circumstances, but all of them will survive; and all of them have at least the chance to be happy – even without Sports Night.
Which isn't the easiest thing in the world.
He’s glad, suddenly, so glad that they’re ending this together. It would all be so much worse if the show hadn’t been cancelled and it was just Casey’s last night, if the show had gone on without them as a team, a pair. Partners. They started it together and they’ll finish together, and it seems right and just.
