It seems very final to me.

You mean as the show is over?

Have they not released any other on-going show's shooting scripts?

Not that it would bother me - I'm not one of these people who insists that programmes go on to infinity just because they are the best thing on TV. I like things to feel complete and come to a satisfactory end, and TFP did seem to fit that bill to me entirely.

On the other hand, if they ever did decide to come back and give me a special now and again over the ensuing decade, then that would be brilliant too!

No, it doesn't mean the show is over. The script of ASiP has been there since shortly after the show premiered. They've just added the rest of season 1.

This was posted on Twitter today. It's the script for His Last Vow, from the Emmys website. I was planning on reading it later, but someone pointed out that the ending is a bit different from what we were shown. If you don't feel like reading the whole thing (it's 124 pages), go to page 119 and start there.

I wonder if it was ever actually filmed as it was in the script? I'd love to see the uncut version!

Thank you!

Actually, I found something interesting in page 117:

"You know what we did to our sister."

In the aired version, that was, of course, "You know what happened to the other one."
