Think of all the people you've known who don't really exist. You know what I mean, all those characters the writers invent. We get dropped into their life, they entertain us, educate us, distract us from our mundane worlds, they become our heroes, our role models, our villains. But what do they do when the show is over, when the actors and actresses take them off and go back to their real lives? What becomes of Picard and McGee, where will you find Mrs. Peel or sweet Abby? Somehow I think they settle into lives not so very different from ours, they live with us and in us after all, and somehow I don't think anyone ever interrupts Abby's favorite soap opera. Well, not twice anyway.
