The part of me that's all YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSS about Tony/Priya (THEY HAVE A BABY! THEY STILL LOOOOOVE EACH OTHER) is conflict with the part of me that's all NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO about Topher (MY BAAAABY!).
Man, I don't even know what frustrates me the most. The lack of gay men, the weird 'crazy' stereotypes he pulls over and over (even if I love all those characters you named, too), the invisible Chinese people in Firefly, the invisible any-minority-ever on BtVS--okay, I cannot try to list a full set of fails or I will be here all night, and I still have homework to do. (REALLY, I CRIT BECAUSE I LOVE.)
A lot of people were irritated by Alpha's unexplained turn, I know, but it was so perfectly written and acted that I can forgive it. Like! That's exactly how Alpha would be, if he was good instead of evil! *hands*
(The first few eps are a little slow, but then it gets SO GOOD, and apart from a handful in the middle s2 of SCC is near-perfection. Like, even if you don't think s1 gets SO GOOD, omg please promise me you will check out s2 anyone. BECAUSE REALLY IT'S SO GREAT. The premiere alone pushed me from "oh yes that is a show with Summer kicking ass that I enjoy once in awhile because it has Summer kicking ass" to "I MEAN WOW WHEN DID THIS SHOW GET THIS GOOD."
Seriously! I just think you will love him! He's snarky and PTSDish and he doesn't grasp why Sarah won't let him blow up City Hall at one point! His relationship with Cameron is full of hate and suspicion and it's awesome! asdfjkl;;;; okay i'm finished now.)
YESYESYES: all of those fails. They drive me CRAZY!
but it was so perfectly written and acted that I can forgive it. Like! That's exactly how Alpha would be, if he was good instead of evil! *hands* Exactly! He was still so Alpha: just good! Yay!
(I will do it! Eventually! And of course report back to you immediately!
He's snarky and PTSDish and he doesn't grasp why Sarah won't let him blow up City Hall at one point! His relationship with Cameron is full of hate and suspicion and it's awesome Sounds like my kinda guy!)
I remember when I was thirteen and stupid and just getting into fandom, I kept trying to rationalize away all the fails. I am so glad that five years later I have become smarter than that. Because SOME PEOPLE NEVER ARE. (True story: one time I saw someone trying to wank away Firefly's lack of Chinese people with something along the lines of "no, see, if the show had just been able to keep going Joss would have totally cast Asian people eventually! This is just all FOX's fault again!" And I could only...shake my head. I mean, yeah, I like to think Joss is at least smart enough to realize his China-influenced future should feature Chinese characters on a regular basis, but...dude, come on.)
I swear to God that his exchange with Tony where he was all OMG WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO YOUR FACE and Tony was just like "........" was one of my most favoritest Dollhouse moments of all time. Alpha is too great for words.
(LAUREN. You know this .gif here?: Why yes, the off-camera person Riverbot is making her unimpressed-while-dining-on-pancakes!face at is Derek. They're not my 'ship, but I will never stop fangirling their interaction anyway.)
Yes! I remember reading a criticism of Firefly and getting super defensive. But I've done a lot of growing up, too, and I lovelovelove being able to balance things now.
(THAT STORY IS STUPID. YOU ARE WRONG, FANBOY.)
YESYESYES! That was my favorite moment, too! ALPHA! And the look on Enver's face!
They're not my 'ship, but I will never stop fangirling their interaction anyway I have some not-ships like this! Oh, you're so getting me into this!
