That makes complete sense. Despite the problems you had with the show, I know you still loved the characters. And the characters' ends are what ruined the finale for me--I honestly would not have cared overly much about the annoying preachiness of the ep if my characters had been treated with any sort of respect in it. Because they were what I was invested in, not the crazy-ass plots RDM & Co. kept spinning out.
Definitely feel the need to reclaim pilots, and that's one of the best ways of putting it I've seen yet. I'm hoping I can contribute something to that as well. One day (when I can handle it) I'd like to do a rewatch of the first two seasons or so with anyone on my f'list who wants to join in and have some discussion on each ep. I'm still pretty new to the fandom and missed out the first time, so I think that could be fun. And could help us remember what made us fall for Lee, Kara, and Kara/Lee in the first place. Back when we thought the show was going somewhere with them.
I hope you can make peace with it all eventually. As I said, that's what I need to do too.
