DPP: Wish List & Coping

[rdave1.livejournal.com]

During the last few episodes of BSG, I was scribbling down all of my thoughts and predictions as to what might happen during the finale. Then the finale happened and I needed to find a way to accept what happened and how it ALL ended. So other than crying, talking with all of you lovely peeps; I wrote a list in the middle of the night. My version of what I’m thankful for that we got to see with pilots and what I wish we had gotten to see. This list made me more functional for the work week after the finale.

What I would like to know is what did you all do to cope with finale? Did you rewrite the end; create happy pilot gifs and icons? Did you make lists? I’m really curious about those who came into fandom after the finale.  Also, did anyone else have a wish list for pilots, things that we should have gotten to see?

If this doesn't work or you want me to post it on another sight, just let me know.


**REMINDER: The revelations for the challenge from last week are due Sunday, May 16th.**
I was supposed to post this yesterday but I fail!:)

I realized I had more to say than I thought! I made a couple posts that deal with my post-finale process. The first is the commentary (http://shah-of-blah.livejournal.com/28328.html#cutid1) to The Disappearing Ground which goes into a bit more detail than my above comment. But then there's my (fashionably late) Special Destiny Manifesto (http://shah-of-blah.livejournal.com/29552.html#cutid1), in which I detail all the ways the 'destiny' arc failed in the matter of basic coherency.

In short, I don't hate the finale as an episode. I don't even hate the poof. What I hate is that the finale revealed all of the show's gaping holes. The poof did not have to happen because Kara's death and all that was completely unnecessary and nonsensical. That storyline was initially devised purely for shock value, to boost falling ratings. And that is just bad storytelling.
