"if you expect something to be bad and prepared to hate it, it will always be like that"

My expectations for newer material are through the floor, it's true, but I'd like to think that doesn't stop me from appreciating what I would normally enjoy going into it fresh. There are certainly moments in seasons 6-7 that I thought were great, same for the movie, and Legends of Magic #5 blew my socks off. I've no doubt I would find some moments enjoyable in newer episodes, and perhaps someday I'll check them out, but at the moment I'm just not up for it.

"it always makes me sad that all people can't enjoy the show in its fullest...while they could have much more fun with new stories in it."

Honestly, I've been having an absolute blast transcribing just the first two seasons, going slowly through each scene, taking in every detail. Usually it's the best part of my day. I often feel like most other fans don't appreciate the same things I do about them, so in a way I know how you feel. I certainly wish I could enjoy all nine seasons, but I'll gladly settle for five.

"my mom gifted me a bag of anise-flavored hard candies for Easter, and I thought they were quite nice."

My grandmother likes anise, and I think my dad does as well. It seems my brain rerouted that flavor from "reward" to "pure misery."
