It was interesting, I was reading an article somewhere (Maybe EW?) and it was interviewing Kevin Williamson who created Dawson’s Creek. He was talking about making tv in the 90s vs making tv now, and how back then their little website for the show was novel but nothing like what we have today with official websites and unofficial sites and forums and tumblr and twitter…He said now some people hate-watch…and it comes across to the showrunners that do interact with their fans as these people, though entitled to their opinion, seem to only watch certain things to hate it and then spew their hate to anything and everyone. I had never really thought about it in that way, but it does seem to be true for some people. It came out around the same time as the A&E interview where they point out that ‘fan pandering’ doesn’t happen because shows are written months and months before anything hits the screen and viewers give their ‘feedback’. I think it’s good to finally see showrunners really giving their thoughts and opinions on that small but loud faction that have the audacity to think it’s ok to essentially say to someone “this thing you’ve worked incredibly hard on sucks and this is how you should do it even though I know nothing about what you actually do” – while the world watches. It really made me look at the ‘haters’ – of any and all groups – and see how ineffective it is, and just let it roll off my back a little more.
Anywho, I too cannot wait for tonight’s ep! I’ve decided to put less thought into the hows and whys of the curse(s) and just see what they decide to do, so I really have no idea if I think there will or won’t be a TLK and what I’ll think of either option! Of course…that might also be because I had my cousin’s bachelorette last night and am working on about 4 hours of alcohol induced sleep…so if I make it to 8 I’ll be pretty gosh darn excited!!
