Unpopular Fandom Thoughts

Maybe I shouldn't be doing this when I'm in this kind of mood. Completely unapologetic about these things.

Idea from fyerfly21 and others.

1) I don't like Six Feet Under. I've tried to watch it a few times but it just annoys me. It might be because I consider American Beauty one of the most overrated films of the past decade.

2) I'm a reluctant slasher. I believe that all fictional relationships are a matter of perception and that once you see certain things you can't *unsee* them. That said, sometimes it's just fun to put together impossible pairings and try to make them work. Also, there are certain pairings that you find possible just for your own and others amusement. I can personally see every pairing that I write or think about - except Nina/Kim I have to admit that's mostly interesting for the impossibility factor.

3) I like Kim from 24. There, I said it. Who wants to fight me?

4) I can't stand Asher in the Laurell K. Hamilton series. I find him boring and annoying. Also, too perfect in some ways, oooh he's all scarred ooh, yeah whatever. I want them to return to focusing on Edward.

5) I liked season eight of XF. I really liked Doggett. I didn't like Mulder when he returned. In retrospect I kinda wish he stayed away. I hated season seven with a passion. I also liked Monica.

6) I was glad when Scully gave up William. I hated the plotline and felt that was the best way to deal with it, also, it fit into the tone of the show.

7) I've tried to watch Alias but I hate Jennifer Garner. I've disliked her for quite a while, I just don't think she's a very good actress.

8) I hate most RPS and the popslash is the most confusing thing ever. I still remember the days when all RP fic was looked down on horribly and am confused about when that exactly changed.

9) The only gay pairing I see in LOTR is Sam and Frodo, but I wouldn't want to read fic about them. I don't get all the rest of the pairings, especially with the rest of the fellowship and I really REALLY don't get the RPS stuff. This might directly conflict with what I said in two, but whatever.

10) I love fangirl squealing most of the time. It's one of the best parts of being in any fandom for me, because fangirl squealing isn't really something you can do with people who aren't part of it. Yes it's teenagery, but I don't care.

Okay that felt good.

I agree with some and I don't agree with others, but I'll defend you against flamers any day *wields blowtorch and flamethrower* :D

THANK YOU for No. 1! I swear, I love Peter Krause and Michael C. Hall is neat, but I do not know WTF is up with that show, and as for American Beauty ... I didn't get that either. *sighs* I feel better now.
