Trying to be civil )

They had to force him to sleep after part eight of To Boldly Flee. They openly admitted to protecting him from bad comments.
*wibbles* Good god.

Everyone on the site ever has complained about his constant apologizing.
Yeah, in his commentary for TBF I noticed he seemed to want to stop doing the anniversaries because of the "hell" he was putting people through with the film shoots. They ... chose to come, dude. Every year. Knowing it would be like that. Film shoots are like that. They're long and crazy and people get exhausted and sick but it's WORTH IT in the end.
Plus, TGWTG anniversaries were like, one of the few times everyone could get together. They were always describing themselves as a family, how happy they were to get together, despite sunburns and injuries and sickness and sleepiness and bad weather.

And from the TBF commentary, I'm wondering if Critic's year-long depression was Doug's.
That could make a lot of sense. Does that mean I'm still allowed to be angry or should I be sad now?

You know Lindsay said the RHPS crossover will happen now, but I can't even feel happy about that.
On the one hand, yay, Critic in a corset, we've wanted that for years but ... but ... I can't enjoy that now because of what's been done to get there. I just ... every time I laugh I'm going to feel guilty, because to get these laughs, to get that RHPS crossover, the Critic's sacrifice had to be fake. Donnie had to be fake. The Demo Reel crew had to be killed. These past months of getting through it and getting excited about Demo Reel were all pointless? My crying this summer wasn't worth anything? My pain doesn't matter? All the fans who cried but loved it ultimately, or at least accepted that this was the end for the NC and it was a good ending even if it hurt really bad ... we all don't matter? We don't COUNT?

Why at the expense of Donnie?
And oh God, Donnie, why do that to him? Why go to all that effort of making him so tragic only to have not mean a single thing?
*gulps* I'm not going to cry again tonight. I can't. If I start crying again tonight I won't get to sleep in time ...

And after THAT episode, about his mom, and him fighting off the creepy family and coming back all badass and triumphant ... WHY!?!??!?!?!?!?!

Be both sad and angry. He should have got help for his guilt thing in Suburban Knights when it sent him to a day's depression in bed. There's only so much anyone else can do.

It's just so pointless that I think I might puke. :(

Yeah ... that sounds like he should have gotten help then. I mean, nobody can control the weather, and with all that outdoor shooting, problems weren't all his fault.

It was pretty sickening. That was such a great episode and now it's all a lie.

Once I stop being so angry and sad and hurt, I'm going to try and write Demo Reel fic. Oh yeah, I'm not stopping with that. I'll write goddamn epic space adventures with the gang racing through the universe, having adventures and fighting aliens and getting drunk on space booze and dragging Donnie out of the Plot Hole's tendrils, because Donnie is Donnie and NOT the Nostalgia Critic!

Screw classes in the morning, I'm writing something RIGHT THE HELL NOW.

I wish you lived at my college, not over in England, or I was over in England now. Because we need to hug each other now. We need to hug.
Yeah, that episode ... auuuuuugh! So much HoYay, and so much canon, and Doug's puppy eyes and ... and ... I REFUSE TO LET IT GO! I REFUSE!
