I've been looking forward it. I wonder if they are going to tie everything up, or just kind of move it along until the final 2 episodes.

They haven't had any problems having major characters come and go, with the exception of the main handful.

I started watching in the 4th season, and got hooked. Luckily, our library had all 6 seasons on dvd. So I took them on loan and went through each and every season. Now...I've seen every one!
