I've wondered sometimes if I'd respond to it better in a marathon watch over watching as the series progressed, but I haven't managed to get myself to rewatch it since the show ended. Even before getting to the finale a lot of things were pissing me off and then the finale just duped a truckload of other things to be pissed off at. But if I hadn't spent so many years with the show before getting to that point it might not have been so...upsetting that I didn't keep the love throughout the show.
