BTVS fandom gripe

timepiececlockI 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.

You're definitely right, and after the show ends I plan to talk about and analyze endlessly. Without pulling any punches. But one of the problems is that when I read what some people say, their arguments are so intelligent and convincing that I begin to change my opinion to suit theirs, often in a more negative way of viewing. And I don't like that feeling, so I'm just going to tone down my fan-consumption of it all for a the next two weeks.
