they very well might not write future episodes as if previous characterizations and events have been invalidated.
I'm kind of expecting that, honestly -- which will make it easier to watch because it will be back to what I want, but otoh will be maddening because continuity, dammit! It's not continuity I *want*, but it's there now, and I'll be bullshit if they just sort of... spackle over Carter's absence.
Although who knows; I don't really see how they can get 2/3 of a season out of John's reaction to this, but maybe that's what they're going for. *hands*
I don't know if I can step away right away, although wow do I not want to actually watch this next episode. I'm not sure I can not-watch and then later come back, though; I may need to ride it out and see what happens, and either recover or just get bitter.
(If I get bitter, tell me to stop watching! I don't want to hit a point where I'm starting to sour on the first two seasons, which all my anger and unhappiness aside were still two amazing seasons of wonderful old-school-slash tv.)
