she put into words what I was thinking after watching it on Thursday alongside Twitter (Jane Espenson the writer was also tweeting) and why I felt so upset about other people's negative reactions

Faith takes effort (my son is very good at being 'dizzy' or 'headachy' just when I want to go - funnily he wasn't dizzy once we actually got to church today) - I've been a born again Christian longer than I've been a fan and I bank on it being there long after fandom fizzles out for good - but yeah, it takes an effort to go and focus on someone bigger than me, though that is also incredibly comforting. As you say, I've got stuff to deal with and yet I also see him living up to the promise: 'I will supply your needs' (not his fault I want my WANTS met too *grins*)
