Season Finales

Isn't it ridiculous that when a show goes on a break it comes back 6 months later? By the time it comes back you don't even remember what the season finale was. My friend and I are big fanatics of "The Vampire Diaries", we watch it on Thursday nights and on Fridays we complain about it at school. The next week we would rave about how that night was Vampire Diaries then one of us would ask "what happened last week?" Imagine that. If in a week we forgot what happened on the previous episode, how do they think we can remember in 6 months?  Who do they think we are Sheldon Copper? It is absolutely absurd. The season finale of Vampire Diaries was on May 10 2012, the season premier of season 4 is on October 11 2012. A six month wait; how fabulous.
