BTVS fandom gripe

[timepiececlock]

I 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.

I love your icon!

I like this show, I like this season, and I liked the last episode.

I'm with you on that. I've liked loved this entire season. I liked last season too. DMP wasn't my most favorite episode ever but it still had it's likable moments.

I was thinking that maybe I'm just too easy to please, that's why I really don't have any gripes about the seasons. Actually, I have one gripe with this season, it's the last one. *sob* I don't want it to end!

Episode reviews should have warnings. A nice little note saying, " I am pleased/neutral/dissatisfied with *insert episode title here*. "

but not if you're watching spoilers! Only for episodes that have already aired!

No spoilers. I am spoiler free... or at least as much as I have managed to be. Who knows? Maybe I will be completely happy with the next ep, and will end up jumping up and down with glee! Hell, I sure hope so.

I almost got spoiled earlier today. Saw three very evil words out of order in a sentence, but I stopped instantly and didn't really learn anything, so I consider myself still clean. It's hard being pure. but at least people are trying not to spoil the end for us, and being considerate.

DMP wasn't my most favorite episode ever but it still had it's likable moments.

The DMP episode consisted of two solid minutes in which Spike entered the fast food place, said the words "Service me", and left. Shortest episode of Buffy I've ever seen. Wonderful, of course. ;)

*sob* I don't want it to end!

That's one thing I think even disgruntled viewers will admit too. I know I don't either-- It's only my second year! They can't end my show in season 2! I deserve more!

I'm still waiting for the other 41 minutes they owe us. They still played the normal # of commercials.

I feel your pain, it's only my 2nd year too. We're being cheated. They should give us free stuff to compensate...maybe the DVDs or Spikebots.

No, no spoilers! No hints at spoilers. *looks at spoiler devils, who have their mouths duct tapes shut, and waves* HAHA! You can't tempt me! *Spoiler devils give Psycho the one finger salute*
Little warning of "I am pleased/neutral/dissatisfied with *insert episode title here*. " is only for episodes already aired.

Now that's a tricksy moral dilemma... botsex, or the orgamic joy of an entire season of naked Spike watching? They owe us.

I knew there was something wrong with the repeat I watched. They played the real episode, but accidently added on footage of some monster worm and bendy pencils. I hope they fixed it up.

::cries a few tears:: See, I've only had one year! One year! (Although that's probably the reason I'm still the psycho Buffy love cheerleader that I am.)

oh, one year! wow. You missed the Sex Year. Reruns, dearie, reruns! Hop to it!

Ahhh! I'd be out of my mind if I hadn't seen last season. I've pretty much caught up on the past seasons through avid FX watching and the dvds.
