Yeah, but the implication is, HR is going to get it on as soon as Adam learns how to drive

Although, oddly, relatively few HR post-season fics actually assume that premise is going to work as advertised.

As for selective canon -- very little open-ended series TV can escape that, I think. A mini-series can, to a large degree, and movies, and novels - anything that is conceived from the beginning as an entire, and single, entity can. But serial TV really can't be (there are amazing exceptions, I know, but they are famous *because* they are exceptions. And even some of those don't work. From what I understand, the BSG reboot was conceived that way -- but I don't think I have *ever* seen anyone in the fannish world who liked anything about the ending of that show.
