Wishing for happy endings

Jan 07, 2012 17:26

This week's fannish5 is right up my alley, so I'll answer it.

5 characters or couples you wish could have gotten a happy/happier ending.
( I did couples because I didn't read the character part )

The thing about JE is that I'm so mad at the way it happened I can't make up my mind how I feel about just what happened. The writing of it though...it's so far off the mark here. And after that I wanted him to suffer, I wanted him feel half alive because he just chose to walk away from a better life for NO reason.

I've heard about the Marcus story, heard some pretty bad things abut it too. Plus with that one while I wanted them to get a happy ending, the fact that they didn't wasn't a betrayal of the story and characters. I do wish RTD would write some Pete's World adventures, actually seeing the happy side of the ending would probably help; it wouldn't fix the writing in JE but it might justify the story choice.

Lee and Kara just...ARG.

AMEN to Marcus/Susan, not only because it would have meant a happy ending for Susan/Marcus, but it also means Marcus wouldn't have died.

Why yes, there is always that element isn't there? But then I think death plays a factor, in some form, in all of these pairings so I didn't directly mention it.

(Hi, found this on universe_today)

I was accidentally spoiled for what happened to Marcus on B5. It frustrates me on the one hand because he's such a wonderful character and I'm pretty sure he'd have been my favourite, and Susan/Marcus would have been my OTP, but knowing his fate stopped me from getting too attached. On the other hand, maybe it's for the best because I'd have taken it pretty badly

And I've avoided reading *that* short story because I've heard from so many people that I'd end up wishing I hadn't XD

Oops, forgotten comment was forgotten.

Anyway, you're always welcome to stop by through whatever reason.

And you know all those years ago I'm pretty sure I was spoiled for Marcus's death. Admittedly, for me that was a matter of 'this hiatus is driving me NUTS, what's going to happen in the last few eps of the season? (plus following whether there was going to be a season 5)' But I'm pretty sure it put me off spoilers until I got into Buffy in college (what? so I watched B5 in middle/high school and Buffy in college, what do you mean that's weird? (apparently I'm on a parenthetical random comment kick today)).

I've never read "that" story either, I've heard enough about it to feel wishy washy about whether I should read it. Certainly not strongly enough to seek it out.
