planet_taters | disappointing (Reply)

could the stories i've been reading lately BE anymore fucking depressing? seriously... why do i even bother if it's just gonna end in shit?

and also. what is up with the office? it hasn't been that funny in a while. the end of last season and this season have been near impossible for me to watch. it has become disturbingly uncomfortable to watch. these situations are not funny. they are uncomfortable and embarrassing. what happened???

i read things and watch things for ENJOYMENT. my life sucks enough as it is. i don't need it in the things i use for ESCAPE. i want happy, i want fun, i want sweet, i want nice, i want exciting. good things. i don't mind a little angst or drama or whatever. but fuck people. this is just awful, and depressing as hell.

i stop watching shows when they go in directions i don't want/like/enjoy. some people may say that is immature, but i don't give a fuck. it is MY leisure and enjoyment. if i DON'T enjoy it, then i am not going to waste my time.

examples:

that 70's show - first when eric and donna broke up, then i watched again once they got back together. then again when eric left. altho i did watch the final 2 eps of the series, and cried my eyes out. it was a depressing time in my life.

gilmore girls - when jess came onto the scene and rory started liking him. god i hated jess. i stopped watching til he finally (finally!) went away. then i started watching again. then i stopped watching when lorelai slept with rory's father while engaged to luke. i didn't watch a single ep of the final season, and have no idea what happened (and no desire to find out either).

smallville - the whole clark/lana thing drove me bonkers. i couldn't take it anymore. enough already! so yeah, stopped watching. (YEARS ago at this point).

prison break - when they decided to 'kill' sarah. (and then they brought her back wtf)

and damn, those things STILL bother me. i'm killer at holding a grudge.

this is why i keep insisting that torchwood BETTER BE GOOD! i don't want to have to stop watching it. altho who knows... we may not even get anymore after 'season 3' so it may be a moot point. i mean honestly, the show is kinda crap already, and yet i still LOVE and obsess over it. unfortunately, i think i love more of what it COULD be (and should be) then what it really is. because it could be SO awesome... and yet it always seems to kinda miss the mark. and i can't keep loving something if it never hits the mark! and i'll be really bummed if i have to stop watching yet ANOTHER show because it pisses me off. especially one i love so dearly and has a character i love and ADORE beyond what is truly healthy.

torchwood... make me happy. PLEASE.
