So be thankful, Thankful for what you got

I used to love this fandom, it used to be a place I could escape to from all the real world problems. Not to mention a great change in pace from the last fandom I was apart of. I used to think Soap fans were bad, but I guess ever fandom has his fair share of fans. But since it was announced that Cote was leaving the show I've watched this fandom slowly crumble. After a while I just coudn't take it anymore, plus there were some other reasons, personal reasons. I thought maybe just maybe once the show started that maybe things would change, but I guess I was wrong.

It breaks my heart to see what this fandom has become. Yes I know it's not everyone, but honestly I haven't seen a lot of positive things lately. I think I can could the people who I have seen who are positive about the show on one hand. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I see so much more negativity then anything else. Sure fans are upset their favorite is gone, it's only natural. Someone I know once posted that if you are only watching a show for a character or a couple you aren't really getting the whole of the show. We all have our favorites, but if it was anyone else on the show would you put up this much of a fight for them as well?

So it was Sean who left? Or Rocky? Or Michael? Dare a say if it was Pauley? Would you still be this ticked off at the show? Or would you be fighting as hard to get them back on the show? (If you do answer this, just take a moment to think about and really ask yourself if you'd do the same if it was anyone else.)

There is another little titbit, while you are all coursing out the show and the writers, the same people who gave you eight years of Ziva David or Tiva. The same people who introduced you to Cote de Pablo. (Before we get annoyingly technical, yes I'm aware the writers change and powers shifts, but not the point.) Cote could have easily have not gone out for the role, it could have ended up being someone else. Or even yet the show could have even been taken off the air years ago. It didn't get to the number one spot until it's 7th year, which they have mentioned is not something that happens often. So while you are bitchin and moaning about all these little things you think are screwing over your favorite character and couple, maybe you should be thinking about how you got to know them at all. Also while you are complain about Ziva's lack there of mention, quite saying it be better if Ziva was dead. You don't mean it, because if she was dead you'd be even more pissed off then you are. At least for now there is a chance she could come back. Whiter or not she does is up to the show and her, but at least there is a chance. Let me tell you a chance to see your favorite again is better then knowing you never will again.

So be thankful because you were given something you could remember and could cherish for as long as you did. Not many fans get things like that. And be thankful that you got the last two episode with Cote, whiter you liked them or not you got them. Sometimes fans and shows don't even get that much.
