Out of the Blue

The lull around the holidays is a welcome break since I work year-round, so it's a chance to take it easier. Today the quietness has an additional benefit, as I got sick last night. I woke up in the middle of the night and vomited, and this morning had what we'll delicately call further bathroom difficulties. This is unusual for me, as I have a pretty iron stomach, but it sounds a lot like food poisoning. But MrsBlue and I have been eating the exact same leftovers since Christmas, so it's hard to see how I could get an isolated bout, as she's feeling fine. But I'm feeling much better already too. So I'm not happy at being sick, but it's good that it didn't really disrupt things here too badly. Not exactly a Festivus miracle, but prettay, prettay good.

Holy cow! It's just a show. You'll get over it in time.

Anyway, I agree with Simon Says about how the show got progressively worse in the later seasons (season 4 was the peak IMO) after they ran out of book material, although later seasons did have some really good individual moments and episodes.

My point is that there are actually people out there who expected and wanted a happy ending, and they are not a small number of people. I suspect many are casual viewers who probably missed the first few seasons of the series, only to start watching as positive word of mouth spread about the show, and don't know or care that the books even exist. I know many of these people. When the show didn't end how they wanted, they were upset. After the series finale, most of the show criticism I came across on social media (outside of reddit or forums like bluesnews) was about this, and not the bad writing or butchered characters.
