(There are corners of the fandom where it's common and expected to diss the drama, but this isn't one of them, so when I come across it, I can't help getting protective/defensive -- it's where my fannish heart lives!)
No worries! That's why I apologized in advance just in case I erred too much on the critical end of the spectrum. I overanalyze stuff I love, even if it means I have to always find the perfect balance between being a gushing fangirl and dissecting it like a doctor. It's how I process information to gauge my thoughts and feelings about something.
No matter what complaints I have, Guardian is still one of my top 5 favorite tv series ever. (ZYL finding out SW is HPS is the best "discovering the secret identity" plotline I've ever seen, the most important emotional beats in the plot all hit me like a truck on my first viewing, and I'll forever defend the ending as a beautifully executed tragedy that isn't commonly accomplished.)
I also love both the drama and the novel, so there is no competition between the canons for me. Thanks for the friendly reminder, regardless! :)
