After much thought and teeth gnashing (not a good idea in my present condition) I've decided to just go ahead and be optimistic. I almost couldn't enjoy the episode last night... and found myself picking at things that I wouldn't usually even notice, probably due to all the negativity that I ramped up on before the episode. So I went ahead and read the spoilers, and spent some time talking to people who are even more relentlessly optimistic than I am... and while I don't feel super happy about the spoilers, I feel a little more hopeful than I did before that maybe it won't be a total train wreck. And while re-watching the episode today, I also realized that I will most likely follow this show to whatever end that it comes to, because I have an unreasonable love for these characters.
Have you resigned yourself to giving up... or are you going to keep at it?
After much thought after last night's ep, and reading more spoiler-talk and peeking at sides, I realized that I feel much the same as you. I don't think I can not watch - even if it's to a very bitter end.
I really think (hope, hope, hope) that it won't be as bad as the initial spoiler from Ausiello made it sound. I think it might be a bit goofy... but... mostly that doesn't bother me too much, until someone points out how bothered they are... and then I start dwelling and feeling like I shouldn't love the show like I do... and I'm just kind of tired of feeling that way... so I'm going to stop. There may be things that make me roll my eyes or that I just don't like (Booth and the stripper last week would be one of those) but on the whole, even those things make me laugh or whatever... don't stop me from loving the show. So... I think I'm going to try and just keep my rose coloured glasses on and get back to being optimistic and having faith that while the writers have occasionally had a misstep or two, generally continue to deliver on a show that I love.
