The IT Crowd FINAL EVER EPISODE happened yesterday! It was good. A bit overstretched, but good. (The IT Crowd is one of those shows that really doesn’t work as a feature-length, but what the heck, they tried.) And they got back a lot of old characters! Apart from Denholm, which is a shame because he was always one of the funniest. Oh well.
Basically it was good but not as good as ‘The Final Countdown’, which is one of the most hilarious episodes of anything I’ve ever seen ever. Also I like to think this isn’t really goodbye, there might be a reunion special twenty years or so down the line…

Hi! Two things: 1) I absolutely LOVE “The IT Crowd” (Moss. It’s just — the part in his ‘fro kills me every time my husband and I re-watch the series! Love Moss!) It’s been difficult to find too many other IT Crowd fans in my neck of the woods (Louisiana). So hello, fellow fan! 2) I just finished reading “May” (“Holes” fanfic, and why is there like NO OTHER “Holes” fic out there?!), and I love the way you dovetailed the disparate events into the woven cord of their destinies. I loved the projection into the near future. And I like your economy of language; you tell your story without seeming to feel the need to engage in exposition for the sake of the almighty Higher Word-Count, which a better piece of writing does not always make. Loved Sam/Kate in the movie and the way you portrayed them in your story. (I’m a softie for Dule Hill since my introduction to him during his “West Wing” days. And I’m a little behind the curve; I’ve only just discovered “Holes” {thank you, Netflix!}. I should love to read more of your “Holes” fic, should you have any. Anyway, that’s about it. Have a great day!

HI! (Sorry it took me so long to see this!) Thank you so much for this detailed review, I was so glad to see it! Holes is one of my FAVOURITE movie/books of all time and I’m so happy I did it justice. <3 (There are a couple other fanfics on Ao3 I think? It is still a very small and hard-to-find fandom, alas.) And omg Moss. My TV nerd icon! I love him!
