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.

Date: 2003-05-08 11:09 pm (UTC)I have 100+ people I read. It's not just one person, so don't feel you have to apologize-- it's my self-censorship, not that I think everyone else should stop talking.
It's good TV, but it doesn't resonate with me on some deeper level as its parent show did, and so I just never care about it as much as I care about "Buffy."
It's that exactly. And I realized this because for a while I was watching Buffy and downloading Angel (especially when Buffy was on rerun hiatus), and then i started watching Angel on tv. But if it was a week of new!Buffy, I completely forget that Angel is on at all. Several times I literally haven't even thought about it until two days later when I read about it on LJ. I only remembered to watch this week because cable tv guide said it was the last episode, and I wondered about how a Sunnydale crossover would be set up. In my mind that tells me I'm only an opportunist fan when it comes to Angel, not a particularly devoted one. But I'm sure I'll dive into it next year by default, since Alias isn't really resonating wiht me either, no matter how much i try.
::sob:: I miss Firefly! I was ready to give my heart and soul to that show.
And now I miss Buffy...
