[intrigueing]

I had such a bad experience of this during the second half of the 7th season of How I Met Your Mother that I'm extremely wary of getting into any other currently-airing TV shows -- HIMYM was the first ever show that I watched week-to-week as it was airing, and might be my last. I stopped watching Parks and Rec partly because of this ~omg paranoia~

When a show or franchise is finished, I don't care if it's horribly flawed. I can think "okay, so there are these issues, the writers fucked up and made it bad, but I can work around that" (like I did with Buffy the Vampire Slayer and The West Wing). With currently-airing shows, however, there's that horrible period of hope and trust and speculation that gets twisted into denial and trepidation and betrayal when things start going to crap, where you hate something but don't want to admit it to yourself because that would mean contemplating the idea that a show that you have all these high hopes and possibilities and theories for is actually going to butcher its plot or characters and go down in history as another one of "those shows" which were great for their first few seasons -- but make sure to stay away from the later ones!

Happened to me outside of shows too. Harry Potter ended with Deathly Hallows, which was awesome and satisfying in a few ways, but a massive letdown in many, many, many others. DC Comics smacked me in the face with the reboot just as I was getting really deeply knowledgeable and invested in that fascinating, sprawling fictional universe and well of continuity. And The Avengers snuck up on me unawares (because I never thought I'd get so emotionally invested in it) and gave me unrealistically ambitious hopes for the characters' futures, then crushed them with "oh lol no we're actually going to screw over your favorite character's story arc in his next movie". Also, Whedon.

*sigh*
