Unpopular opinions?

[ceebee_eebee]

Another meme, ganked from prettyquotable this time.

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

To be honest, I'm not sure what unpopular opinions I actually HAVE because I never really think about it that way. I'd say the possible fandoms to request are: Doctor Who, Supernatural, Heroes, Star Trek, Star Wars, Batman, BSG, X-files, Farscape, Lexx, Xena, James Bond...or pretty much anything else I've watched in the last 15 years.

Hit me! I'm probably more curious about what my answers will be than you are. ;-)

ETA. The responses may contain spoilers!

I generally think Ianto is involved with Jack because he thinks it's what Jack wants and Jack is involved because the guy is there, willing and looks good in a suit.

Damn straight. All the lovey-dovey OTP fanfic about them is unbelievably bizarre to me because I just don't see it on screen and I can't for the life of me make it mesh with the characters as they've been portrayed.

I don't even read it, to be honest. I don't think I'm the audience they're writing their fic for, so it's a waste of time for me.

Of course, I am obviously cracked. I read Owen fic.

Me neither. It's just not my cuppa. I mean I am not one of those fans that thinks people should be writing only things that I personally agree with, so I just avoid and once in a while shake my head in confusion. That's not to say I haven't read some really brilliant Jack/Ianto fic, cause I have. It's just the OTP kinda stuff that boggles.

FULLY! I love Owen. I especially love Owen/Ianto. So, we can be cracked together.

It's like you're my crazy soul mate. Owen/Ianto is my favorite Torchwood pairing. There should be more of it just to please me. Why does fandom keep refusing to cater to my every whim?

Ha! ♥

It SUCKS, doesn't it? ::sigh:: Though, I gotta say, the Owen/Ianto that is out there is totally brilliant.

It's bizarre to me, and I find the pairing much more plausible than you do. I think Ianto does love Jack, and although Jack doesn't fully reciprocate, I think he does care about Ianto. But there's no justification for all the fic where they're each other's True Soulbonded Love and they'll be perfectly happy together forever (with babies!).

I pretty much agree with your take on their relationship entirely. I think Ianto is infatuated with Jack (and maybe even loves him), but the OTP stuff? I mean I know people dig it, and more power to them. I just don't see it at ALL and it goes against everything I love about the character of Captain Jack Harkness.
