...it's got nothing to do with holding hands or painting anything. Everything they do would be great - AWESOME - if it were remotely connected to stuff they did in the books. It really isn't, and it's just weird and yes, annoying. Fuck Xian rituals - i hate all that shite. These are simply not the people I got to know in the books, and absolutely loved.

If you like, yay you! Go on and enjoy the heck out of it. I simply do not, and prefer the book characters over the series ones.
