Author's Note:
I so don't own The Big Bang Theory
Hey guys! You are going to have to be a little patient with me. I have hit a small case of writer's block. Well, technically it is not writer's block...more like writer's depression. Meaning, I have pretty much everything decided in my head. It's just putting it down in words. Yesterday, however, I was diligently typing up a new update for you guys, and I had a little breakdown moment, and I haven't been able to continue ever since.
It seems like a lot of the syndicated Big Bang Theories lately have been the old-school brilliant episodes. And I just see all the perfection...the hints, the moments, the looks. And, then, it leads me to think about where the show is now, and how it cannot even compare. Add in all the spoilers and taping reports, and it leaves me one very disillusioned Big Bang fan. I feel like the show is just going nowhere, going in circles, and going downhill...all at the same time.
Two things that happened yesterday. I was watching Episode 100...I should have just stopped watching it. But, just that this was the best that they could come up with for that episode and that we were going through the same old crap again...just ugh. Also, I saw the preview for tonight's episode, which I knew was coming, but with the long break, I was able to delay it in my head. I won't be watching.
What it comes down to is this:
I find myself asking: What happened to the characters I knew and loved?
Which leads to this hard question: Did I ever really know the characters at all?
Which leads to this epiphany: How can I continue writing about characters that I thought I knew, but are ultimately so completely different than I have always seen them?
It would be like...writing a love story based on the Kennedys, and then finding about Marilyn Monroe. How do you continue, as if nothing happened? I imagine it would be quite difficult to go on. Your vision, your whole way of thinking has been blown apart.
And, so, here I am...a little bit broken as a writer. A lot broken as a fan. I sincerely hope to be able to push through, and get some new material to you guys soon. It's just a wall that I am going to have to break down piece by piece.
Thanks for all your positive thoughts and reviews. You make it all worth it!
