Fandom meme!

[trinityvixen]

I lack this thing you call sub...subtle...something about not blaring one's opinion, loudly and often. So this is a perfect meme for me because I will be unfailingly honest. My hand to the Great Noodly One's appendage.

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

Comments

How about I give you MY three opinions about it:

1: People who neither watched original Who nor took up at least a passing look into it should shut up about everything forever.
2: Doctor/Rose is like a primate anthropologist banging a lemur (Doctor/Cpt. Jack is like banging an orangutan or chimpanzee).
3: It is entirely consistent with past characterization, timelines, statements, abilities, modus operandi, and Stated Who Facts About Gallifreyans for The Headmaster to be The Master.

re: my #2:
I just realized that I passed up a chance to make a "bonobos are giant sluts, and so is Jack" joke. Pretend that I made it, please.

Also, I don't feel like making my own post, so people should ask me here if they feel like it. Much like TV, it's unlikely to be informative (really, further informative), as I state my opinions about everything promptly, loudly, and often.

Even so, I have now hijacked this post. Deal with it, TV.

Given that only two people have asked me so far, don't hold your breath that your friends will come over here for you :)

Well, as long as I'm here.

Star Wars
Dexter
Classic Doctor Who

Star Wars:
1) I still kinda like the Ewoks. That one scene where the one is trying to rouse his friend who died? I still get a little wibbly over.

2) The Emperor deserved to win. I'm sorry, he was smarter than everybody else. There's no way he should have lost. If you take into consideration the shit he was doing in the prequels, it's ridiculous that he ever lost.

3) I don't like The Clone Wars series. It's so humorless.

Dexter:
1) I don't want there to be any more serial killers on this show. I think having three people who conveniently get to like killing people around Dexter is ridiculous. Let Dexter go back to picking off random killers.

2) Totally contrary to #1, I'd love for Astor (Rita's daughter) to be trained by Dexter like he does in the books. I don't want her to be innocent and sweet. Her brother is too adorable to go down that road, but I think Astor would be the better monster for Dexter to train/worry about than his own kid.

3) I wish season three hadn't happened. It added nothing to the story.

Class Doctor Who:
1) I didn't love the Pertwee era.
2) I infinitely preferred Romana I to Romana II.
3) Daleks are fluffy-wuffy adorable in Old Skool Who. I can't be scared of them at all.

This is important: WHICH The Clone Wars series? The 2d was good, but didn't do it for me, I'm impressed as hell with the 3d series (don't let the movie discourage you).

I only saw episodes from the 2D. I saw the movie, but the less said about that the better.

I don't hate on the non Old Skool Who-fans unless they're being obnoxious about how THEY DON'T HAVE TO SEE THE ORIGINAL SERIES, GAW-AWD. I mean, saying "I just don't have interest/never enjoyed that" is okay. It's very different from what's on now, and it's totally possible to like the one and not the other. (Likewise, I have no patience for the Old Skool Only crowd hating on the newbies. GET ALONG, FANDOM, OR SO HELP ME...)

I buy that the Doctor = love, but I, too, get the squick when it becomes sexual in any way. That Blue!Ten being with Rose makes me almost ill. (And shouldn't he be dead? If Donna couldn't be half-human, half-Time Lord, he shouldn't be able to, either. Not without going mad at least!)

Yes, dear, we all want Anthony Stewart Head to come back :P

They have to at least sample it -- it's perfectly acceptable to only like SF if it has annoying britpop losers and reality TV contestants, but at least look at the old stuff.

A half-human/half-gallifreyan would seem to have 1.5 hearts. 6 ventricles? Whatever.

I move through fandom a lot, and I don't demand that anyone see anything. You just can't make them a lot of the time. Would it be nice? Sure. But it just isn't worth listening to fan-brats. Anyone not willing to investigate old stuff after enjoying new stuff isn't worth interacting with anyway.
