Re: coping, I strongly suspect this is going to be one of those things where I won't watch it for a while. It'll sit there, waiting for me, while I read episode reactions and coda fics and fix-it fics and listen to everyone weep and gnash their teeth, and watch for signs of the new eps to come and finally, finally, when I think I can handle it, watch it in broad, open daylight, constantly reassuring myself that this isn't the way it's going to end.

*g*

That's how I do these things.
