Indeed, the absence of Servalan was a major storytelling error. For months afterwards I went around muttering to anyone who would listen: 'Servalan wasn't there, they've got to get them out of it somehow. If it had been real Servalan would have been there to gloat.'

I didn't know about fandom or fanfic and had no insight into the decision from on high to end the series. I just couldn't believe it... And then when time passed and I believed it I couldn't believe it had been done so sloppily. Why not just have the big Monty Python foot come down on them all? It would have made as much sense.

No logic, no resolution, no redemption. no taking Servalan down with them... Gah! I'm still angry!
