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'll just join in on the S7 lovefest, 'kay? I loved "Touched" and the B/S snuggling, in particular. Loved. It. Don't get down if everyone doesn't agree, though. Just think that you're getting more enjoyment out of it than those who are disgruntled. But I find that reading the dissenting opinions can be educational, even if I don't necessarily grok why they don't love it as much as I do. Ya know?

Hn...Yes.

But I find that reading the dissenting opinions can be educational, even if I don't necessarily grok why they don't love it as much as I do.

Is "grok" a type-o? If it's not, I don't know the term. If it is, my brain is too fizzled to guess. I'm curious though.

Grok.

It's a word coined by Robert Heinlein in "Stranger in a Strange Land" and means (according to Dictionary.com (http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=grok)): To understand profoundly through intuition or empathy.

A most excellent book, too, by the way.

thanks.
