Eek! Sorry for like the, week-long delay in replying. I got caught up in Flashfic and holidays
Lol, no problems. So totally understand how that goes. I'm notoriously bad about responding to things...especially e-mail ^_-
So the whole pre-disposed to defend Keller totally makes sense. And I think that's the reverse that happened to me. I, and a lot of people on my flist, were just optimistic/enthusiastic to have Jewel Staite on board, so when the character failed to deliver, we were disappointed. That disappointment just heightened our negative feelings towards her. Coming from a defense position totally makes you view a character differently. I've been there myself in the past on occasion.
think the Martin Gero interview did it for me. I can't even think about this episode now without getting irrationally angry. Which is really stupid, because it's just a television show.
First off, yeah, see neechan's response on the Gero interview for how I feel. We were SEETHING. As to getting irrationally angry over TV...*shifty guilty eyes* Um...yeaaaah, you should have SEEN/HEARD the rants going on here. (They get even louder when there's two of you to bounce the rage off of). Course, after Smallville, we have LOTS of practice :-p. Though at least with SV, we knew going in that the show was gonna drive us up a wall. With SGA, it feels much more like a betrayal. This was my happy place, dammit!!
I mean, I was seriously depressed months ago that my show was ending. Now I'm just wanting them to not kill my squee in the last three episodes with this ridiculous hack writing.
That is the EXACT way I'm feeling about it right now. Just...if we can get through these last four eps, we can look past it, to the much much happier place that is fandom. Neechan and my solution currently is to poor our canon love into NCIS, which the show is making us terribly happy right now, but has very little fandom to speak of, and continue to dedicate our fandom love to SGA, whose fandom continues to impress in volume, quality, and squee .
