What did I do? Well, I didn't break my TV. Though there was a moment or two there...
I bitched absolutely to high heaven FOR WEEKS. Okay, maybe it was months. Alright, alright, a year. Plus. So, yeah, I vented a lot.
I don't write FF myself, but I threw plot bunnies at a number of my talented friends and waited with clenched jaw and fists for them to fix it for me.
I refused to buy 4.5 and won't watch Caprica. Hell, I even stopped watching Smallville when I realized Mark Verheiden was a writer on it. I can not trust anything the writers or producers will do after what they did to BSG. Not just with Kara & Lee but the whole damned thing. I know, I know, the finale is on RDM (who clearly wasn't watching the show his writers had been writing and the directors had been directing all the way up through IiaSoS) but, that not ONE of them has said a word, even an oblique one, about the lack of story-telling integrity in the finale turns me off to all of them.
I drank a good bit, cried (and felt pretty stupid about THAT) and then, moved on with my Shippers.
I didn't *touch* my DVD's and for the most part *still* can't rewatch with getting ragey (thus my absence from the rewatch. I tried, I did!!).
I too thought I was losing my mind in those initial days because seriously, I could not envision myself as someone who gets so wrapped up in a television shows that it consumes me. (My family came to that question 2 years+ prior!!) I made some incredible friends due to BSG and for the path to them, I'll be eternally grateful. But, it also changed the way I approach any entertainment venue. I was never a skeptic before, but wow I am now! And, I really don't appreciate that. The flip-side of that though is, I'm older than just about anyone around this comm or even in the fandom I've met, but I can say that I've never ever connected as strongly to a creative endeavor or a pair of characters as I did to BSG and Kara & Lee. And, though I'm still heartbroken over the ending, I'm grateful for feeling that connection.
