Part of me has been concerned, considering that some factions of the fandom have been preparing to hate the finale for a couple weeks now. But then I reminded myself that they can’t steal my joy, no matter what they think. If I’m disappointed by it, so be it, but if I love it, then great. Will I have fix-it ideas? Considering I’m writing a fix-it for a series I stopped watching in 1995, probably…
None of my regular crew have been hating just to hate; their criticisms have been legitimate, even if my opinion was different (and sometimes I’ve agreed!). But, while I don’t understand it, there are those in fandom who do hate on things just for the sake of doing so. Don’t let them get you down, either. It’s easy, especially if you have rejection-sensitive issues, but don’t feel like you have to let other people dictate your fandom experience.
