Thanks for the comment here, too. I always enjoy hearing from you. I'm still trying to post it to numb3rs_fic. It's a slow process for me, but I'll keep trying.
“It begs to ask what part television has in our lives. We have to wonder what drives a group of seemingly normal people to homicide over a television program. When did their reality cross the line into fantasy? The truth is, it happens all the time - on a much smaller scale; the actor who convincingly portrays the cheating scoundrel on a daytime drama is accosted in a restaurant by an indignant old lady slinging her purse at him, or the actor who plays the dreamy doctor on the prime time medical hit is asked to diagnose a troublesome ache by the person sitting next to him on a plane. There was even the actor whose portrayal of a whimsical, curly-haired elf in a popular Christmas movie years ago was so believable that he still has trouble shopping at the malls during the holidays for the scores of children wanting him to deliver their Christmas lists to Santa Claus personally

Thank you so much for your review. I know I might have stepped on a few toes with this story, and, as I said in the author's notes, the views are not necessarily mine, but I do feel strongly that CBS mis-handled the situation. I agree, wholeheartedly, that fanfiction can sustain us - giving us our Numb3rs fix - and I, for one, pledge to continue reading and writing. Thanks again for the comment.
It's funny how much effect television can have on people's lives. With a show like Numb3rs, that had great characters, it's hard to see it go because it was so well done. Actors move on, but the characters don't, and that's the hardest part. The characters are what make me watch a show, most of the time, and I will genuinely miss these ones.
I finally watched the finale (was holding back because it wasn't over as long as I hadn't seen that one, right?) and came by to read this. I bet this helped air a lot of feelings in the writing. A therapeutic piece.
I'm glad I read it after watching. And I totally agree with the sentiment re: reality shows. I hate them.
I'm glad you enjoyed my episode of venting. I was mad as h*ll at CBS for cancelling them and I sort of felt like CBS had killed them, so... Yes, it was therapeutic and I feel a little better and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm also glad many of the authors intend to continue writing Numb3rs stories. Hope you do, too.
I'm just scrolling around LJ today and found your birthday wishes. Thanks so much! I'm afraid I have not utilized my LJ account as well as I should have. I check LJ everyday for new stories and find I am getting hooked on drabbles (they are addicting). FF.net is kind of sad these days - but every once in a while a good one turns up.
Thanks again for the birthday wishes. And I hope you have another story in the works. Love your stories.
