Hello World!
Here's my stupid dilemma for the television season.
The Enterprise episodes "First Flight" and "Bounty" are scheduled to air on May 14 in a rare double feature. Naturally I'll be watching both of them so I can review them. At the same time, the WB will be broadcasting the Dawson's Creek series finale. DC has been my secret Wednesday vice since it moved to that night from Tuesdays after Buffy. It used to be my lead-in to Voyager because it always put me in a good mood.
Now I read via reliable spoilers that A Very Bad Thing will happen to one of the four main characters in the series finale. To quote the wonderful grammarians of the Warner Bros. advertising department, "One of them will lose their life". I hate it when television producers pull stuff like this. I learned from Voyager, Xena and La Femme Nikita that I would much rather never see a series finale than see an awful one. I don't trust television producers not to trash their own shows.
I have told myself that Dawson is not a show of which I am a serious fan. I don't care whether Joey ends up with Pacey or Dawson, would be perfectly happy if she decided to stay single, have no strong opinion on whether Jack should end up with a boyfriend or not, won't get worked up if Gayle remarries, don't really care whether Dawson sticks to his dream of becoming a filmmaker or decides to stay in Capeside and become a high school teacher. But I do not want to watch any of the characters dying.
Should I tape the finale? Or should I skip it, to make sure that I remember the show fondly?

An arctic research team on Earth discovers debris from an alien vessel, nearly a century old, buried in a glacier along with the bodies of two cybernetically enhanced humanoids. Once those beings are thawed for investigation, they come to life and abduct the scientists and their transport vessel. Enterprise is called to intercept, but Captain Archer and his crew find these cyborgs to be an intractable, insidious enemy.
