Hey there -- I saw this post and was going to wait until tomorrow to reply because I'm not a my own house and it seemed rude to take over Terry's computer... but she's asleep and the house is quiet and I keep *thinking* about this, so I just decided to hell with it and logged in. :)
I never thought about defriending before. *laugh* You can do that?
I wasn't able to read any of the comments on my flist about the episode because my watching it and then writing up the Stream of Consciousness was done in such a hurried fashion I never got a chance. Now, reading this, I don't think I'll bother (for this episode at least).
I read the comments on my review and I read the reviews of a few trusted souls, and I'm gonna say that's enough for me. Because, yeah... I don't want to be Titanic'd. Plus... and this may sound harsh, and I don't mean for it to, but... if people are "thinking about not watching anymore" I think they should just stop watching. I do agree with one of your comments that if people didn't care so much about a show and its characters they wouldn't get so up in arms about it, but on the other hand, those who "threaten" to stop watching because of reason X, Y, or Z make me think "are you wanting us to beg you to stay?"
I'm just not sure what they are expecting to get out of that... other than, I suppose, the right to express their opinion. *shrug* Just because I have yet to be disappointed in the show or the direction it's taking doesn't mean my opinion is the right one. Nor does it mean they can't express thiers, right? Hmmm... I think I might be talking myself in circles.
My point, if I have one, is basically that I am glad for your thoughts. And I'm glad that you've read my thoughts. And I'm glad that there is such a passionate fanbase for this unique and totally captivating show. And I'm glad that I didn't read (many) negative comments (I saw one thing on BuddyTV that made me shake my head with a genuine WTF moment).
*puts hand over heart* I promise to always put a pre-cut preview that will let you know if I'm disappointed in episode. Not that I ever foresee that happening...
Okay, maybe I can go to sleep now. *laughs at self*
