lirazel: An outdoor scene from the film Picnic at Hanging Rock ([misc] must be stopped)

because everyone needs some Buffy love in their life!

Y'all, there is so ridiculously much Buffy-love going on in this thread. So, so, so much Buffy love. Also: bonus Veronica Mars and Dana Scully love, if that's your thing (and you know it totally is).

Go forth and revel in the awesomeness!



P.S. How great is it that my icon has come to fruition? I'm so pleased!

I APPROVE OF YOUR ICON AND YOUR SOUL EVEN IF I DON'T APPROVE OF YOUR VOTE. :)

also is it just me or is this round much more vicious than last round? i miss the pleasant competition of scully v. donna. maybe this is because the buffy kids now feel threatened or maybe all the v. buffy competitions have been fierce because her fans are fierce and i just wasn't paying attention?

YAY! SAME TO YOU, OF COURSE.

I hadn't really, really noticed--but then, I haven't usually read any of the Scully comment threads. So maybe that's where it is? You're probably right, though.

It's probably the threatened thing, honestly.

I'm just SO EXCITED at all the awesome ladies! And if Buffy loses, I'll be sadface for about five seconds and then VOTE FOR SCULLY LIKE CRAZY.

Everyone should be like me!

i mean in the other threads the donna people stuck to their threads and the scully people to theirs and it was all about love, and this time ~they're invading mah space~ and i'm like omg no. obviously if buffy wins, which she probs will, i will vote for her, but i will not deny i will be disappointed, in part because of my stubborn i WANT MY GIRL TO WIN complex and in part because i honestly have grown to love scully more over the course of this contest, and there's something to be said about that.

sigh. i am sad she is going to lose.

The only comments I've seen in Scully threads are the ones in which someone said that there wouldn't be Buffy if it weren't for Scully, and people point out that in fact Buffy Summers was around (in film form) before Scully. Or when someone makes another comparison in the original comment to Buffy in some way. And I can see that turning ugly. (And again--I will totally take your word for it that there's more stuff going on that I haven't seen. I'm certain you're right, because you pretty much always are).

So what I think is that we just shouldn't compare. I will admit I did that, but I won't anymore, and hopefully the Buffy posts will be more of the posting-of-the-class-protector speech and the Scully posts will be more of that totally awesome .gif with the text from Mean Girls on it instead of comparisons, which are really invalid.

but i will not deny i will be disappointed, in part because of my stubborn i WANT MY GIRL TO WIN complex Oh, of course. We've all got those, and there's nothing wrong with that!

in part because i honestly have grown to love scully more over the course of this contest, and there's something to be said about that.
That's sweet and adorable and awesome. I'm feeling the same way about Bufy. There's so much love!

I do have to say--this is making me want to watch The X-Files; though I'm skeptical that I could ever love a character more than Buffy, there's always more love in my heart for awesome characters!

lol that would be me. i forgot the movie was in 1992. i do that sometimes. and i abandoned that. BUT IT WORKED IN OTHER ROUNDS. and i still maintain that scully's mainstream success allowed for, like, every other genre success ever, but i am biased.

this contest makes my head hurt. i am mostly just shocked i am on team dana at this point.

Hahaha! That's okay, and it totally makes sense that you would think that, and I definitely think people jumped on you a bit too much for that--once you'd been corrected once, you didn't need to be a thousand times. y'know?

this contest makes my head hurt. Aww! Sad! Just think about this: we're guaranteed that three of the Final Four will be women. And most of the options are totally awesome. And that's exciting!

i am mostly just shocked i am on team dana at this point. You mean that she lasted this long? Or you thought you'd be for someone else?

i mean i only got corrected... once, so maybe that was another case because it was a common sentiment in other threads and the show started later so people got confused. but [livejournal.com profile] deludedvision was like SCULLY EXISTED IN TV FORM BEFORE BUFFY DID and some girl jumped on her and jess was like "gurl, sit down" and yet she continued. vicious.

truth! i hope sheldon doesn't win it all. THAT WOULD BE A DAMN SHAME.

the latter. i was team buffy! i was all up on team buffy! i was like "team buffy would be great!"

... and then i spent time thinking about the ferocity that is dana scully and now i have in fact... become team scully. and will spend my spring break studying for anthropology and watching x-files.

Oh, maybe it was the other one I saw? I saw one where like six people corrected the original poster, and I was all, "Okay, once was enough."

It would be a damn shame!

and will spend my spring break studying for anthropology and watching x-files.
You're awesome!

I had to vote for Buffy because Buffy is my girl, but after Buffy (and Spike of course), Scully is my favorite character EVER, so my heart broke a little voting against her. I just think it's awesome that the Sci Fi category came down to a face-off between two of the best female characters of all time.

[identity profile] anythingbutgrey.livejournal.com 2010-03-09 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
so much.

[identity profile] penny-lane-42.livejournal.com 2010-03-09 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
We are clearly the same person, since Buffy and Spike are my favorite TV characters ever, too.

I just think it's awesome that the Sci Fi category came down to a face-off between two of the best female characters of all time. Agreed.

Also, if I have learned anything from this whole thing, it's that I need to watch The X-Files.

I cannot fully express my JOY that there are so many women in the Elite Eight. And two of them are my LOVES FOREVER Buffy and Veronica. And I also think Lorelai and Scully are super cool. And Sue is HILARIOUS.

This is AWESOME. NOT DEAN!

YAY YAY YAY! So much love! So many awesome women! Not Dean! *dances around*

Honestly, I think whatever happens, it'll be an epic woman coming out on top. And that will be AWESOME.

Lorelai is beating Bones by five votes. I am gnawing my nails for that tiny margin to stay in her favor, omg.

ETA: ONE VOTE DEAR GOD

Hee! I'd be happy with either winner there, but I will now root for Lorelei on your behalf!

Isn't this just SO STRESSFUL?

:D yay, Buffy!
I may love Scully to pieces, but Buffy has my vote always.

Yay!

I think my head about exploded. All my favorite blondes and they just HAD to put Lorelai Gilmore and Temperance Bones in the same category?

*cries*

I can't choose!
