BTVS fandom gripe
May. 8th, 2003 12:25 pmI have to stop reading other people's episode summaries.
I just have to... stop.
I was happy. Really, really, happy. And other people's comments are making me feel depressed, and what's more making me bad for liking the show.
Unlike a lot of you, I like this show, I like this season, and I liked the last episode.
And I don't want to be made to feel bad for actually liking my favorite show on tv.
So I'm just going to skip all the episode summaries for the next 2 weeks until it ends. Or, most of them. I'll probably break and read a few. I'm weak.
But instead I'll be commenting on icons and fic and random stuff, rather than ep response/discussion.
ETA: This is not meant to pinpoint one specific person. And see previous post where I said I :heart: you all and want to read your fic. Just not ep summaries, for another 14 or so days.

Date: 2003-05-08 12:37 pm (UTC)It's ok. I've just decided that it's easier to be happy in my own bubble than to try and defend my happiness in other people's bubbles.
I felt the same way last season cause I lurrved it but everyone else didn't and I felt like I was stupid for liking it.
I vascilatted last year. I loved the show but hates some of the things the characters did. I only hated one episode, and loved most of the rest. Season 6 gave me some all-time favorites: Tabula Rasa, OMwF.
But honestly, I only started last year. I'm not ready to give up the fandom and I'm not jaded enough to claim I don't love every minute that it's on screen.
Plus it's then end and everyone is bitter about that.
Yeah, I can kind of see that coming out in places when people write.
Plus, I think everyone's going to be disapponted in some way, because the only way for it to disappoint no one is for it to not end.
