protests that certain things Should Not Be Done on TV shows where people might have some sort of emotional investment in the characters
Um, so they only want big, emotionally impactful plots in shows where the characters are blanded out bits of cardboard that no-one CARES if they live or die???
Offhand, I think B7 would have had these fannish campaigns: - bring back the original Travis - and the counter campaign, No don't - the new one is fine. - bring back Blake - and the counter campaign, No don't - the new guy is fine. - bring back the Liberator - and the counter campaign, No don't - the new ship is fine.
Repeat ad nauseam for Cally, Jenna, the whole crew, etc.
