Knife fights make me think of West Side Story

[lirazel]

Everyone else is doing it.

Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom.

And then we can fight with knives!

Fandoms can be found in my profile and icons and whatnot.

BSG! :)

Okay!

1. I have very little interest in either Kara or Lee. Intellectually I can see why they'd appeal to me, but emotionally they don't.
2. I never hated Cally. Until the episode where she dies where it seems like we were supposed to hate her. And I thought that was stupid writing.
3. I am quite fond of Dee.
4. I really dislike Chief.
5. I ♥ Gaius. I mean, he's a terrible person, but I love him.
6. I think that Billy was just about the only really good person on the whole show.
7. FELIX! *sob*

I didn't like the Chief either, or the way he treated Callie :( And I love Billy so much I refuse to admit he's not the last last Cylon. I used to have an icon for that.

We were supposed to hate Cally in her last episode? Man, I'm slow on the uptake in terms of how we're supposed to feel about people.

Heh. These are not unpopular opinions with me!

The West Wing

:)

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

I'm really unsure of what the popular opinions are? And I haven't seen the whole show yet. But I'll take a whack at it!

1. I think Josh is a great character, but I'm not crazy about him the way a lot of people are.
2. I ship Toby/Andie, but I understand why she wouldn't get back together with him. (Unless she does after wherever I am in S5?)
3. Charlie is fantastic, but that's more about Dule Hill than it is the writing--he is criminally underwritten.

[magisterequitum.livejournal.com]

Those work for sure.

2. Won't spoil you.

3. Couldn't agree more. There is definitely more that they could have done with him.

Veronica Mars

(I am sharpening my knife)

1. I think the finale really, really works.
2. I would watch an entire show about Cassidy and Kendall plotting world domination. Also, CHARISMA CARPENTER FTW! I heart that woman.
3. I think Wallace is a much, much better BFF for Veronica than Lilly. Basically, I don't really like Lilly even though I like the narrative purpose she serves.
4. I really love S2, even if the plot and the retconning leave a lot to be desired.
5. Sheriff Lamb is NOT a woobie; he's a giant douchecanoe.
6. Duncan having Clarence Wiedman kill Aaron is one of my FAVORITE TV MOMENTS EVER and it was worth all the silly Duncan shenanigans to get that scene.
7. I think CC and Jason Dohring had great chemistry. I always really enjoyed their scenes together and I thought Logan taking up with Kendall was really in character.

Doctor Who.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

Hmmm...

1. I really never saw any shippy feelings from the Doctor towards Rose. Fandom was what informed me that he was in love with her.
2. I now ♥ River Song.
3. I think "The Girl in the Fireplace" is a fun episode.
4. I will never forgive Ten for what he did to Donna.
5. I think Captain Jack is overrated.
6. Martha Jones kicks ass, even if the writers didn't write her very well.
7. Amy/Rory is my one real DW ship. Though I am also intrigued by Eleven/River.
8. I like Mickey fine.
9. Eleven is my favorite of the new Doctors.

ANGEL.

DUH. LET'S GO. i live in unpopular opinion land so we'll probably agree on stuff anyway.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

WILL WE SEE WHAT I REMEMBER. It's been a while.

1. Angel/Cordy forever. Duh.
2. I also ship Angel/Darla because I find their dynamic endlessly fascinating.
3. Fred/Gunn. So adorable.
4. I HATE FRED/WES. HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE.
5. Lilah is way cooler than Lindsey and I heart her forever.
6. I have very little interest in Wes. And I can't take his OTT dark angst seriously. I only find him interesting when he's interacting with Lilah.
7. I like Connor, think he's the most important person in Angel's life, and I think he's also Angel's Shanshu.
8. Gunn was criminally underwritten until S5, where he was the only one with an actual arc.
9. "A Hole in the World" is very well-written and -acted but very insulting and gross and sexist as hell.
10. I love "Not Fade Away" but I don't find it heroic.
11. I love Lorne, but I think they either should have given him an arc or kept him as a side character.
12. Faith is way better on AtS than on BtVS.
13. Spike is very OOC on AtS S5 with the exception of a few really good episodes.

Community! Because I like to be predictable.

[penny-lane-42.livejournal.com]

YAY!

I don't konw how many unpopular opinions I have, but I will take a whack at it.

1. I think Britta is way too good for Jeff, and I really don't understand why all her fans ship him. I mean, I adore Britta (now), and I think getting with Jeff would be the worst thing ever for her.
2. I want the show to be all gen, all the time. No ships, show! No ships! Only gen! Leave shippiness to fic writers.
3. Troy is my favorite.

I LOVE KNIFE FIGHTS.

I pick Vampire Diaries. (You're shocked, I know.)

[petzipellepingo.livejournal.com]

Well... you brought it up... West Side Story.

I thought all the good ones were taken, but then BAM! Firefly! Gotta know what unpopular opinions you have about that one.

The only other ones I can think of are The Black Donnellys and Being Erica, but I don't think the fandoms for those two are coalesced enough to actually have cohesive opinions.

[redsilverchains.livejournal.com]

Skins!

[snickfic]

Ooh! Ooh! Can I have another? Narnia, plz.

[ever-neutral.livejournal.com]

Dollhouse!

[eilowyn.livejournal.com]

William Faulkner!





Sorry, I got nuthin'. All the good fandoms have been dibbed, so I go with an absurdist literary fandom reference. I don't know how I can resemble a grown up so closely and then just seem to miss the mark.
