DPP: Daybreak

[winegums]

Today, March 20th, marks exactly three years since the airdate of Daybreak, Part 2, which ended both BSG and pilots canon story by leaving Shipper Nation in absolute ruin, devastation and disappointment.

I can't even imagine what it must have been like for people who were watching from Day 1 - over five years of your life, only to come to THAT. For what it's worth, you have all my sympathy, bb, and every right to be bitter over that ripoff. **hugs** and it's also good to hear from fans of that era, because heaven knows so many people (understandably) quit fandom, I don't think I've ever seen a show that so effectively managed to alienate its fans with the finale. (not even LOST).

Not only was it the end of a show that we loved, it was the end of everything we had wished and hoped for, for these two characters.

I know - I just was not ready to let them go, but to leave them to a fate like this.. and without fandom, I would be so bitter too. As it is, I'll never be able to let two fictional people get under my skin that way, ever again - it never happened before pilots, and it'll never happen after them because they simply ruined me for anyone else.

And pilots are an initiation by fire into shipper land.

(they ATE MY BRAIN and left me a hollow shell of myself, but I don't regret my love for a second, despite the pain)
