DPP: The Road to Recovery

Oct 29, 2012 08:49

Hello everyone! Happy to be back on the DPP train after two months of inappropriately busy real life.

It's been nearly four years since the finale that broke our shipping hearts, and I am wondering how you are all feeling about the finale these days? With fandom becoming less busy on the pilot's side, I would like to know where you are on the ( Read more... )

Not angry. Kind of wistful. Wishing them both peace, I think, and sorry that they didn't manage to work things out in the limited time they were given. But I think their relationship in that last season was beautiful.

Lovely. :) I do wish they'd had more time. That's a nice, non-Ron-hating way to look at it. ((HUGS))

I've had a little bit of the upper hand since the beginning of the end because while Kara and Lee not ending up together felt like a definite slap in the face for a time, I didn't detest everything about the fact that Kara was dead as much as I was sad from the general dropping-the-ball on several aspects of my pilots (not an unpopular opinion, but I don't really voice my anger at the poof specifically if that makes sense). But between a lot of time going by, and getting invested in a different pairing that makes Kare and Lee's story look like When Harry Met Sally (hehh), I'm actually at about a 9.

...who is the other couple? (are they Rob and Cassie? Because oh goodness, do they make you hurt.)

Yes. I don't know if I will ever get over Cassie and Rob (especially since there's less fandom for group crying, LOL).

yeah, I thought In The Woods was bad enough and then The Likeness came along and gutted me even MORE, if that was possible.

Worst is, unlike pilots they don't even get the chance to mend their friendship, like what happened in UB. The lack of resolution will forever bug, and like you said the mini-sized fandom means less group commiseration.

I fluctuate ... Due largely to 1) emotional overload, have to step away and 2) fic . These days I'm around 5. But like a few others I didn't really watch until just after it ended. I still have my moments of a solid 2....

What did J&K say about Lee & Kara's ending? Would love to her that.

About 5.

I think of it as similar to pain caused by the death of someone dear. Although the pain never goes away for good, it does get bearable and with time and choose to focus on the good times rather than the loss. So, distance (and tons of fics) have quietened the pain. If I'm pushed to think about it too much, though, I still get incredibly sad and angry (I'll never be okay with their end and with Kara's death).
