serai.
The latest on the PD fiasco, and I'm hating Logan even more now. Turns out the reason they quit is the ONE reason nobody would have been pissed off about, and it is this:
Eva couldn't take it anymore.
Back in the middle of season TWO, she told them she wouldn't go past season three. WHY DIDN'T THEY SAY ANYTHING??? "No, she must be FORCED to go on!" is a thing no PD fan would say EVER.
If they'd only told everyone at the start of season three, "This is our last season. Our leading lady isn't up to being bashed around and required to rip herself open every episode anymore. We've worked hard on this last season, so everybody give her a big hand!" THAT would have been the way to handle it, and all the fans would have said "Well, DUH. Not surprising she wants out!" And we all would have been weepy and then gotten into the third season.
But this bullshit of LYING over and over - it turns out she refused to continue to the SEVENTH proposed season, not five, not six, certainly NOT three - only pissed everyone off and ruined the ending for most of us. Had we known what was coming, had we known WHY, I think most everyone would have accepted, with grace good or ill.
*sigh* Why do Hollywood people have to be so goddamn STUPID?
ETA: The most damning bit is that the series ended not just because Eva couldn't go on, but subsequently because Logan couldn't think of a way to continue without her. Really, dude? Okay, bullshit again, because either you just admitted you're a really lousy writer (with all those other characters, there was NO WAY to continue?) or you just flat out quit because you didn't feel like doing it without that character. Either way, you clearly don't realize you just told us you're a dick.
But we knew that already..
