I'm not pissed at the WB - TV is a business and they apparently believe the show's not lucrative enough any longer. I think they need a better understanding of the fannish mindset if they think the diehard fans will just move on to Dark Shadows, but whatever. Their decision.
I'm not even angry that the show's ending now. I'm gonna miss it a lot to have new eps, but I don't think the fandom is going anywhere anytime soon. Star Trek is still around, and Buffy/Angel plays in the same league.
What pisses me off beyond belief are those fen who're popping the champagne corks at the news. If they don't like the direction the show has taken, okay. They think this season obviously sucks (even if they're not watching anymore). Okay. But how does anyone gain satisfaction from the fact that those of us who still enjoy the show don't get to watch it anymore? Misery loves company, or what? That's company I can easily do without.
I think sometime today I moved from denial toward anger.
