OMG WTF
I was going to be a spoiler virgin for QAF season 5. Uh, yeah, that didn't exactly work out.
But this is where I'm drawing the line! No watching screeners, no reading exact dialog! This spoiler-whoring has to stop.
I read Keira's Big Spoiler Post. Oh, Fandom.
Oh my god, people, take a Xanax and relax! Maybe I'm just an optimist, but I'm rather happy with the ending. I think a wedding would have been way too much. My only peeve is that it is kind of cruel to the fans to dangle a wedding and then turn the tables at the last minute. I'm kind of relieved I know what will happen in advance.
I'm particularly bemused at people who moan about wasting the past years of this life to this show. Uh, what? I imagine that they are exaggerating because I doubt that QaF was anyone's ENTIRE LIFE. But even if it was, if you enjoyed being in the fandom while you were, how did you waste your time? Why should it matter how it ends?
Also, I'm so sick of people bitching at Justin, it gives me hives. I adore Brian, but I tend to defend Justin. Because I love him, but also because the whole fandom worships the ground Brian walks on, and Justin constantly gets bitched at every time he does something that Brian might not agree with. Justin is a person, you know. A very young person with feelings and neuroses and fears and hopes, JUST LIKE BRIAN IS. And I wonder about all those who condemn Justin for leaving, did they read what comes before the whole 'Marry me' thing? Brian is an asshole to Justin through most of the season. When Justin leaves, Brian does nothing (that I know of) to try to get him back, and if it wasn't for the Babylon bomb incident, maybe he never would have done anything -- which makes me want to smack him so hard.
So anyway, what I'm trying to say (not very eloquently) is that I completely understand the whole 'Justin leaves' because, honestly, staying in Pittsburgh? When you're on the edge of success? Brian was right in encouraging him to go. Imagine the building resentment if he had stayed ("I gave up my whole career for you!").
But that doesn't mean I'm not crossing my fingers for Brian to decide to follow him to NYC at the last minute. And if not, well, I fully expect many a good fanfic where he does.
