(OMG, if I hadn't been thoroughly spoiled for what happens to Ivanova, I don't think I would've made it through those episodes. Someone would've found me dead of a heart attack in my front of my computer.)
I knew in advance, but I still ended up curled up on the floor in one of my then-housemates' bedrooms, kind of freaking out at her. She was very kind, despite not having the foggiest clue what I was talking about. Apparently the little medical apparatuses that are used to hold your head still after a neck injury? Really freak me out. Who knew.
And yeah, that story. Oh god, that story. ruuger pointed me to it after I finished the series, because I refused to believe he'd actually written what people were describing out of it. I understand that writers have to do horrible things to their characters, but, um. No. I draw the line at "of course he'd clone her and remove her memories of the last forty or so years and then strand the two of them alone on a deserted planet and lie to her, AND THAT WOULD BE TOTALLY OKAY, RIGHT?" UM, HOW ABOUT NO.
I think the worst bit was that I could never quite tell whether or not JMS meant it to be a good ending. o_O I'd like to think he's sane enough to know it isn't, but I could never quite be sure...
