Depressed

This is somewhat unrelated post compared to the other, but I figured that me updating what season I'm on isn't that interesting anyway. I was a little depressed today. Why? I've been thinking a lot of classic era and especially Lisa's Wedding episode since, you know, it was the wedding day couple of days ago (August 1st). Why does it make me depressed? I don't know. It just does. Simpsons' classic era makes me depressed.

I was extremely depressed around late April and early May - and what do you know, it was around the time I was on my most intense run of watching Simpsons and straight on the classic era. In fact the depression was the reason I started this blog even when I was at least months away from first review - I thought that I was getting depressed because I didn't write the stuff I thought. But that wasn't really it.

I don't really know what is it - Is it that the episodes in the classic era were so good, that I feel depressed when I'm not watching them? That seems plausible, cause I felt better while I was watching the episodes, but felt empty afterwards. That was one of the reasons I made the junkie-analogy.

As the seasons have wore on the depression has subsided, in fact it was only a couple of weeks. I don't know what then happened - Did the episode quality dip just enough? Are the episodes less emotionally involving? Did the fact that I watch fewer episodes per day come to play? Or did I just get used to it eventually.. Well not that since I was depressed today.

I don't know really the point of this post, it's more of self-reflecting than anything. But perhaps it proves that earlier seasons were much better episodes since they make me react so strongly, even just thinking about them. Not that it needed any prove. I realise now that I've watched over 10 seasons past the classical era that Simpsons is not what it was on the classical era. That said, I'm not one of those Comic Book Guy-esque fans who think every episode nowadays is worst episode ever and the series should be ended after every weeks episode is abomination worse than the previous (that said, I've not watched Season 21 yet, though every season that has been called horrendous so far haven't been that terrible in my opinion).

So bring on the Simpsons, I'm ready for yet another 20 seasons!

Wait a minute, that wasn't the point of this post. I don't know what is it, but not that!
