I couldn't think of a good way to Title this so hopefully once I explain it, it will make sense.
My name is tippy2k2 and I love Dexter (Hi tippy2k2)
I don't have cable so I always get them on DVD the day it comes out. When this occurs, you would be lucky to see me in the next 24 hours unless you happen to wander into the darkness that is my apartment during the Dexter marathon. Dexter is awesome and one of my favorite shows...
...and I've had the Final Season in my possession for two weeks now. I'm afraid though...I'm afraid to watch it. EVERYONE it seems hated the ending. The internet despised it. The highest rating from someone in real life I could get was "It was a'ight". A'ight? A'IGHT!?!?!
...fuck
So I've finally decided to man up and start watching the last season. It did make me wonder how common this is? This is the first time I've ever had reviews affect me so badly. Usually if I think something looks good but it got hammered by critics, I'll still go for it. Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose but critical/mass opinion usually means nothing to me if it's something I'm really interested in.
Has the opinions of others affected you in this same way? If so, what was it and did you win (it was great) or did you lose (they were right...)?
