Saturday woes

[zinnith]

When am I going to learn that I just shouldn't watch the last thirty minutes of Serenity. Damn you, Joss Whedon! Five years and I still bawl my eyes out. Every. Single. Time.

I was going to catch up on Supernatural today but I think I've had my heart torn out and stomped on enough for one day. Might finish the latest Dresden Files instead. Or maybe not, if what I've read so far is any indication to how it's going to end. (See: heart torn out and stomped on. And no, I do not want to be spoiled!)

Soooo... sitting down and waiting for Doctor Who? Check.

By the way. Am I the only one who has trouble finishing a book or a show or a movie if it looks like it's going to end badly for my favourite characters? Just to take an example - I was spoiled for the end of Torchwood and I still haven't been able to bring myself to see Children of Earth. (Let's not even talk about SGA. The last episode is sitting unwatched on my harddrive. I know what happens but it's like, if I watch it, it's going to be over for real.)

These are the things I ponder on a Saturday evening. How about you, dear f-list?

The weird thing is that, intellectually, I like the dark and angsty with the unhappy endings. If it's good storytelling, my writerbrain will love the hell out of it. My heart, that's a completely different story. Then again, my heart has the consistency of a marshmallow.

TW actually managed to kill off every single character I cared about! Maybe some day I'll be able to watch CoE but not today and certainly not tomorrow or any other day this year. I don't need happy endings but I need hopeful ones.

This, this, this. A thousand times.

I like your summation too, not necessarily happy, but certainly hopeful.
