Writer's Block: Mind reader + More thoughts on SPN 5.22

[Error: unknown template qotd]

SPN WTF MEEP.

( Things wot I have chosen to believe (spoilers) )

What do you believe?

And yes, I am somewhat calmer than I was last night, but I think I need a massive re-watch of the last few episodes. And thank everything that is good and beautiful for the lovely codas that are already showing up from longsufferingly, innie_darling and more.

Heroes was canceled

And I am strangely...

I am okay with that.

I should be upset, but I just re-watched the end of the last episode from back in February, and I am so comfortable and good with where the show ended. I don't want to see Peter's life apart from Nathan (although I would have loved to see the sorta-maybe-un-twins (Gabriel and Peter) working together), I don't want to have additional random characters show up, I don't care enough about some of the plotlines, and I think the cast is all so amazingly terrific (and unbelievably nice and sweet) that everyone will go on to fantabulous things.

It was a show of brilliant moments and omgwtf were they thinking? missed opportunities and it's clear that Kring was pulling plotlines out of his ear and the scripts were being written by committee but there was so much mythos there that it was possible to retcon and fanwank anything you wanted - especially because the writers couldn't remember Claire's healing blood or the fact that the eclipse "six moths before" didn't do anything, or a million other plot deviations from the storylines themselves. The side-projects, like the comics and the webisodes, were nifty even when they didn't gel, and the cast was just good. They loved their characters, they loved the on-set crew, they worked well together, and I wish everyone the best.

I would've been more upset had Chuck been cancelled, because I think there's a lot more story to tell there. I think Heroes has told all the stories they need to tell. Maybe we'll get a six issue comic book to wrap anything up, if NBC or Kring think there's any use for it.

They probably won't. I don't think they care enough. Maybe it'll lead to some futurefics and AUs before the fandom bubbles down to nothingness. Maybe I'll do one more vid. A swan song of sorts. But before I put my fannishness for Heroes back on the shelf, I'll watch Peter dive off the building and into the sand at the playground, see Hiro shout YATTA! in New York City, remember Nathan fly Peter into its skies and Sylar in Mohinder's kitchen waiting for him to come home. Claude and Peter will swordfight and they'll all save the cheerleader and then she'll learn how to save herself. The strings will be hung and they'll be cut and Nathan will fall and Gabriel will return to himself and the show will be placed in that box of things that were so good, and so troubled at the same time.




Heroes was canceled. Do you care?
A little.
A lot.
I hope the cast all goes on to nifty and cool things, because they were generally great.
Hardly.
Ask me this two years ago.
Never watched, never wanted to.
You mean there've been episodes since Claude left?
