: I agree with CDNGuy: after the fourth season, OG had nomore the "happyness" of the beginning; look at Neri, how she's changed from first season: she looks every season less happy than before, more serious. OK, she's growing, but she'is too...serious. One of the things of 1st season that forced me to watch the show was Neri's happyness, Jason and Brett who tried to keep secret the existence of their friend...
: After, when the number of Neri's friends growed, there was a...bigger sense of friendship; in the 2nd and in the 3rd seasons we learned more about Neri's origin, and we met Mera, Kal, and new ORCA kids. The 4th season was "The Great (and happy) Ending" or, as CDNGuy said, "the dignified exit".
: All those things I said there are nomore, or there are but are "overused".
: It's better to keep a memory of OG as we know it, than as a lot of (usually americans) TV shows, which continue for a long time using almost the same storyline till change it in an ordinary TVshow, only 'cause a lot of people like it.
: Mr. Shiff probaly understood that his "creature" couldn't and shouldn't become so.
: But, I hope that, in the future, someone will can give "new life" to OG with a new idea for the storyline without change the characters.
: This was what I think about; here is night, so goodnight!
