I guess one nice thing about having a global crisis is that everyone understands when you say you've been a bit stressed from the global crisis. :P
I think the other hard thing about the final episodes were how angry people got about it. Like, I said, I was disappointed that I didn't like it, but I was expecting not to like it - and even if I hadn't been expecting it, I'm not sure it would warrant being openly angry about it to the point some people seemed to be. I think my initial step out of the fandom was partially to avoid people tearing into each other about what parts about the finale were good and which were bad.
It'll definitely be interesting to see how people's opinions change over time (if they do at all.) Right now, I kind of feel similarly to Supernatural as I do to Firefly - I loved that show, but I just pretend that the movie doesn't exist. I loved Supernatural, but I think I have to pretend that 50-90% of the final seasons don't exist.
Anyway, nice to see you on my page too! One sucky thing about stepping away from fandom spaces is missing interactions with cool people.
