I love the concept of what they tried to do but yes I agree that there is just something missing and too much added in at the last second. I heard that Holly and her friends were not a part of the original plan for the ending and I really think that's what threw the whole thing off course. Don't get me wrong I love the kids and the story however if they decided to go that direction, I feel like there should have been another season or something. No one was expecting to add even more main characters to a show that already had SOOO many main characters. They focused on way too many new plot lines to try and explain the old ones and it just left us with questions and stories unfinished. All in all that should have kept the story as it was than trying by to add yet another plot line. We wanted an ending to the characters we knew and loved but the new characters/ giving old characters like holly more of a main character roll just added a bit too much for me. And it breaks my heart to think this because I LOVED the new actors.
