Hey all,
I've noticed a trend and it's really kind of gotten me confused. I'm a spoiler hog, I love to read them. As a result I tend to read threads about the various up coming episodes. Well, I've noticed that about 90 - 95% of the discussion about future episodes, which in most cases are still being written or shot, is negative. And I'm not talking about the spoilers for one or two eps, I'm talking about ALL of them. I just sort of got disgusted with all the negativity. I can understand being disgruntled about something here and there that sounds potentially bad and wanting to state your opinion on it. But everything?
Isn't there something about the upcoming season that people find exciting? I for one have found the spoilers we've gotten (granted they're very small and probably about an smidge of what we are actually going to see) to be cool and have made me look forward to season three. Yes, there are one or two things out of all of the spoilers I've read that have made me wonder, but none of it sounds as bad as some people have made it out to be, and nothing that has made me decide not to watch an ep as some people have said. And,of course, your going to be dissapointed in something if all you ever do is talk it down.
I will say this though, I write stories for fun, nothing major just fun stuff. But, I know how I would feel if I was writing a story and decided to send out a tiny spoiler that covered about a thimble full of my actual story. Only to have everyone start yelling that it was going to suck before I even got it finished. I sure as heck wouldn't be encouraged to write more or better. I mean why bother if they're going to hate it before it's even done? Maybe that's why I tend to to not be negative about the spoilers, I'm aware that there is someone out there probably reading all this and thinking "Yeeesh, give me a chance to finish it first, guys!" Granted, I don't write for a huge fanbase like the writers of SGA do, but the concept is the same. I'm not saying that everyone should talk sunshine, rainbows and flowers all the time. But you might be surpised to find that positive talk actually changes things more then negative. Or negative feedback given in a positive way, not in "This sucks and it's never going to get better", kind of way.
Wow! I guess I need to vent more then I thought! But I hope this isn't taken as agrumentative. I'm not meaning for it to be, I'm just curious if there is anything people are actually looking forward to in season 3. I would like to see some positive chit chat for once. Wouldn't that be a shocker
