Craig you are so not alone. I keep hoping that something happens. Deep down I know I am crazy to hope, but there is hope none the less. | My emotions are all over the place, as much as anyone's. Sometimes I think it's good to have it over, so we don't have to hope any more, and can just start to move on.
Many posters are listing "best memories" and objectively, I agree those were excellent TV. Should we be grateful for them? It's a mixed question but there's no right or wrong. For me, the memories are still overwhelmed with sadness over the betrayals, and it still hurts knowing they'll never be put right, that we're leaving it this way.
Eventually I'll stop caring, and be able to objectively "appreciate" those scenes and those memories. But many fans stayed only out of hope, willing to go through the dark days to reach the original promise of decency and a satisfying ending that did justice to the characters and brought them back. We cared enough to want to leave them restored, in a good place. That will never happen. Some of us need to get over caring before we can again enjoy the original scenes and memories on a more superficial level.
I know I'll get there, but who knows when? When the emotions are gone and I'm left with just objective analysis, ASP and DR will never end up in my 'pro' column. I certainly won't watch another show they're involved with. Maybe I'd know to keep my emotions in check next time, but those two could still be hooking a new group of lambs to the slaughter.
Fiction is about emotions not only detached appreciation. They promised different, in their own words, then betrayed that. Otherwise, we'd likely not have hoped, had the choice to give up earlier - for many, it was their words that kept us hoping and waiting for a payoff, a satisfying conclusion, that will never come. Some posters are OK with the crumb we're getting, for others, it doesn't begin to lift the cloud, whose rain falls on all of Stars Hollow.
As to the showrunners. All the brilliance in the world - and they're not that good - will never justify their lying. __________________
