"It's Just A TV Programme"

[remuslives23]

My response to yet another 'get over it, it's tv' comment in meta post about Glee's finale. Not liking the episode isn't just about wanting Klaine kisses or hating Finchel and I'm so tired of seeing that shrug of dismissal in comments. I'm not going to be an asshole on someone else's journal, so I'm taking out my frustration here.

I don't watch Glee, but I've heard around the Internet that the finale left something to be desired. That blows.
Hang in there.

I spent all Wednesday reading reaction fics in order to make myself feel better. I do get too attached like you, and I still rant about Ianto, and about Sirius, and as ridiculous as it sounds, it took me a bit to accept Natalia Tena's character in Game of Thrones because of Tonks.

I'm glad they at least didn't break up Klaine. I was really worried about that, but Kurt not getting into NYADA and it being all about Rachel once again was really frustrating. I'm hoping SJP joining the cast as Kurt's mentor next season means he will be attending college or something. It's the only thing making me feel better about his situation. My poor babies.

I haven't seen the Glee finale yet as I'm a few eps behind, so I can't comment on that, but I CAN send you hugs!

And it's totally OK to get involved in a show. I found out a disturbing fate for one of my very favourite characters in one of my shows this week and to be honest I've spent the whole week feeling bereft, and I haven't even seen the episode or indeed season yet! And I've definitely been triggered by stuff before. So you are not weird (or, well, no weirder than me) and the people who are being dismissive are just idiots. And yes, I am happy to judge and generalise in this regard! Idiots.

As someone who cried buckets for hours after Ianto died a horribly written death and was later told to get over it, I feel your pain.

The Glee finale left me with a WTF expression on my face. I'm pissed that Kurt didn't get accepted into NYADA, but what's a poor boy to do when he's stuck playing the police officer in Wast Side Story and singing backup at nationals? And Brittany having to repeat her senior year because she had a 0.00 GPA made me really sad. Isn't there anyone looking out for the poor girl?

That" it's just a tv programme" argument just sets me off. Apparently people who say that either don't read/watch anything and can't get close to people created in a precise media. So yes, I so hear you.
Though Glee season finale 3 didn't make me react this way, but I so felt it for others tv programmes...
