So it's official:  today the announcement came that South of Nowhere has been cancelled.  They will air the second half of season 3 and then we're over.

Honestly, I don't know how I'll feel when it's all said and done.  When we've gotten our last few episodes and the end is really here. 

Right now, as a fan who adored this show, I feel hard done by.  I don't know precisely where to direct my anger and frustration.  I feel strongly that a lot of the blame can be placed squarely on the shoulders of the network.  But I cannot guarantee that every single thing that went so horribly wrong over the course of the show is entirely the fault of the network.

I know that I will elaborate later.  Make a point by point case of how South lost the plot for me.  But I can't right now.  I guess all I can say now is that, regardless of the mess, I loved this show.  I loved Spencer.  I loved the idea of Spencer and Ashley.  I loved where I thought Ashley could go.  I loved what Kyla was.  I loved every single ounce of potential that this show had to be amazing, and groundbreaking, and honest, and real.

I don't ever want to forget that.

So was it worth it?

Every single second.
