When you SHIP for a living, watching TV IS A LIVING HELL.
For reals, y'all. For reals.
So, some of you may know, but those that are new around these parts, I used to love the show Glee with the obsessiveness that only a fangirl knows how to give -- my OTP was Puck and Quinn, and I still love S1 with every piece of my heart. S2, lost me somewhere around episode four, even though I tried to hang on. Eventually I gave it up, found The Vampire Diaries and we've been living (mostly) happily ever after since.
Last week, Glee, for it's 100th episode, and three and half years after I stopped hoping, gave me my OTP. This twist of fate happened and I cried happy tears over a show and a couple I have literally not thought about in years. It was AMAZE BALLS AMAZING. The episode was just everything I could have wished it to be--I downloaded it from iTunes sight unseen and haven't regretted it a bit. It's the best episode, possibly ever, but most definitely since the 1x07, 1x08, 1x09 era of Best Puck and Quinn scenes. AND DID YOU HEAR? THEY GOT TOGETHER! They are actually TOGETHER! And they are going to be on this week's episode as well. I am verklempt (and yet nervous) about this happening.
I should have realized that if something like this occurred to make me so shiny shippery happy that some horrifying thing was about to explode elsewhere. To be truthful, I was worried about this week's Vampire Diaries and Walking Dead episodes, but neither of those destroyed my respective OTPs, at least not yet.
No, what happened, happened on The Good Wife. Completely out of nowhere. And I got spoiled by it because lately I've been reading the spoilers on Sunday night and watching the show on Monday because being spoiled on that show has always been a happy thing.
Not this time.
THEY FUCKING KILLED WILL GARDNER. THE MALE HALF OF MY OTP FOR THE SHOW.
So, yeah, yeah, I know, Josh Charles wanted to leave the show, the producers didn't want to do a Julianna Margulies/George Clooney/ER-type split of the couple who OBVIOUSLY BELONGS TOGETHER just because one of them wanted to leave the show. I know it's more believable, and having suffered Ziva leaving NCIS inexplicably earlier this year (and having quit that show without her), this is a definitive ending, but IT SUCKS. This is a definitive ending, for my ship, and it's not with them being together. And this isn't TVD, so nobody's coming back from the dead, FOR SURE.
I haven't even watched the episode yet, because I've already cried. How can I possibly be expected to watch it happen, and ever think that Alicia will truly be happy? She has spent all this time fighting that she loves Will, doing everything she can to stay away from him, even make him HATE her to accomplish it, and I'll never get to see her realize that what she should have done was be with the man she loved, while everyone else goes to hell. No, in fact, what will be worse is she WILL REALIZE IT, BUT HE'S DEAD.
UGH. I'm seriously a ball of fangirl emotions with no good outlet. I'm devastated. Really and truly. So, so, so, SO SAD.
