Pretty much everyone out there seems to be obsessed with reunions happening for their favourite movies and TV shows, but if they ever do occur they’ve pretty much got a 50/50 chance of actually being decent or just ruining the show’s entire legacy.

I don’t know how that would work. I don’t think it would work with the characters grown up, which we now all are.

No one is going to buy us as teenagers any more. And I think the idea of the four of us back together as 30-somethings is going to be a bit more depressing for everyone. I can’t see us doing any more of it.

I mean it makes sense. You wanna end on a high and I think they did that with both the TV series and the two movies that came after it, which by all accounts were remarkably successful and entertaining. Think Bird is probably right that there’s no need to continue their story, especially after the reunion special that was roundly slammed at the start of the year. Let it go.
