Fandom is generally viewed as an integral part of everyday life
which impacts upon how we form emotional bonds with ourselves and
others in a modern, mediated world. Whilst it is inevitable for
television series to draw to a close, the reactions of fans have
rarely been considered. Williams explores this everyday occurence
through close analysis of television fans to examine how they
respond to, discuss, and work through their feelings when shows
finish airing. Through a range of case studies, including The West
Wing (NBC, 2000-2006), Lost (ABC 2004 -2010), Buffy the Vampire
Slayer (1997-2003), Doctor Who (BBC 1963-1989; 2005-), The X-Files
(FOX, 1993-2002), Firefly (FOX, 2002) and Sex and the City (HBO,
1998-2004), Williams considers how fans prepare for the final
episodes of shows, how they talk about this experience with fellow
fans, and how, through re-viewing, discussion and other fan
practices, they seek to maintain their fandom after the show's
cessation.
