Enough

[hils]

I was willing to give Season 8 a go even though there was no Lex and aside from the atrocity that was Lana's return it's actually been a fairly pleasant ride. However, I was consoling myself with the fact that this would likely be the final season. Now there's going to be a season 9

Fuck. That. Shit.

Now, I love Tom and I love Clois but, really, enough is enough.

I've already reached the sad realisation that I probably won't write much more Clex when I get my final two WIPs finished, because the show just isn't inspiring me anymore. This is the final nail in the coffin really. Talk about flogging a dead horse.

I was surprised they got renewed too. Haven't seen season eight yet but am not that interested to begin with.
I'm glad though that Supernatural got renewed too! And One Tree Hill <3

It's like Mike Myers! It won't go away, it always comes back!

Aww *hugs* I know the feeling. Years ago I started an AU and while I still write in it, I don't make any progress because SV kinda killed my muse. Though, I need to put Clark in his tights!

The only show I really care about at the moment is Lost. And Merlin of course

Hee!! I'm really excited about the two fics I've started and I'm looking forward to finishing them, but I'm just not having any new ideas

Well, I'll continue to write myself and issue challenges, but I'll be honest: I wanted the show to end because that means the shipper war machine loses its fuel. I have my little fandom niche and what I like to write, and the show doesn't particularly affect that, not anymore. What kills my creativity is being treated like shit.

So what's bumming me is that I'd hope that our fandom would have a little time to calm down/heal/move on before hitting it's post-airing stride, and now we have another season of anvils and episodes designed to rile people up and make them angry. And they'll get angry at each other, mostly, and not the show runners who do it to get ratings.

Like you said. Enough is enough. Wrap it up so you can do it WELL. But no, they decided to stall once again and push for another season. Sigh.

Oh dear god, it's the show that just won't die!! Tom must be desperate for money. *shakes head*

I know the feeling there except with Nip/Tuck.
I'm actually having great trouble forcing myself to watch the latest episodes of what used to be my favourite show.
It's just got so ridiculous, the main surgery last week was a guy who had branches for arms and legs.
Branches for arms and legs.
Luckily I definitely only has one season left, one of the main characters and the biggest draws is going to die in the next series and the makers have said they're definitely stopping next year.
But I know how horrible it is when something you used to love just loses it.

On a similar note, I can't believe that something which is failing in so many fans eyes is getting renewed yet so many fantastic shows with massive fanbases get cancelled.
TV is stupid these days.

It's like Charmed all over again.

Arghh! Tom, what were you thinking? I don't know what that are blackmailing him with, but it must be really juicy.

This show needs to die asap so that the Clex fandom can recover. Every year that SV stays on the air now kills the memories a little bit more.

[wordsleadmeon.livejournal.com]

It's official, really? How'd I miss that?

And how many trucks of money did they have to dump in front of Tom for that to happen?

[redeem147.livejournal.com]

Yay! More Clois!

I figure that Lana thing was an anomaly, and I was enjoying the season up until then.

Don't hurt me, but I was never really a Clexer.

[ryo-girl.livejournal.com]

Honestly I wasn't excited about Season 8. There's been some moments, but the reason I wasn't excited then and I'm not excited now is...it just doesn't feel like my show anymore. :(

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

When I need Clex inspiration, I just go back to the early seasons. It's there in droves.

Please don't quit writing CLex . . .you're so GOOD at it! :) (And now that I'm healed up, I'd like to give that fic we talked about a try!)

But yeah the show as it is now needs to die.

[euraylie.livejournal.com]

Nine seasons is really overdoing it, but I have this delusional hope that Mike will come back that they will give us canonical CLex as a "sorry we put you through hell" gift.

I'd settle for a "See? lex is EEEEvil! He's even gay! Watch him as he fantasizes about kissing Clark!" moment. So long as it's MR putting in a guest appearance, of course.

I still think that Lois should've been played by MR in drag. . . .

[euraylie.livejournal.com]

"I still think that Lois should've been played by MR in drag "

Ha! They really did miss a trick with that one. He also totally coulda played Tess.

And your scenario? I would so settle for that. Have him fondling phallic objects constantly while they show us his evil fantasies.

[hils.livejournal.com]

I was enjoying it until Lana came back too but I dunno, I just think they're dragging it out too long. Clois has kind of lost credibility now that they've made it clear Clark still loves Lana. Blah!

[hils.livejournal.com]

See, I've been watching the older episodes and they just don't do anything for me the way they used to

Saying that I'm very keen to work on that fic we discussed *g* If we can ever get online at the same time. LOL!

[hils.livejournal.com]

I never get angry at other people. My rage is fully aimed at the writers. LOL!

[hils.livejournal.com]

I'll be over here hiding behind Merlin and Arthur ;)

[hils.livejournal.com]

Branches for arms and legs? Hee! How the hell did they explain that one?

TV is stupid these days. Lost is the only one I'm really into at the moment.

[hils.livejournal.com]

I'll take your word for it

[hils.livejournal.com]

It's so true! I have a huge long list of Clex plot bunnies and no inclination to write any of them apart from the ones I've already started :( And that's only because unfinished fics upset me

[hils.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing a lot

[hils.livejournal.com]

No, it hasn't been our show for a long time :(

[hils.livejournal.com]

That would be the only thing that would make it better

[lexalicious70.livejournal.com]

Oh YAY!! It sounded like so much fun and I've really really missed writing with you. *CLINGS* I know because of the time difference it's hard to get together here, but I still love you bunches and bunches!

[hils.livejournal.com]

I LOVE YOU TOO! *HUGGLES*

[yavannauk.livejournal.com]

Hm, I trust you're not getting up to no good back there!! ;-)

[hils.livejournal.com]

I'm just watching ;)

[yavannauk.livejournal.com]

Got pictures? *snorfle*

[hils.livejournal.com]

Hehe! I wish!
