Unpopular opinions?
Jun. 24th, 2008 12:13 amAnother 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. ;-)

Actually, the best love story in that series was Bashir/Garak, but they backed away, even from subtext in the end.
See, I was all about Bashir/O'Brien. I think their love story was AWESOME and I mean Miles canonically stated that he pretty much loved Bashir more than his own wife. But the Bashir/Garak stuff was also made of Win. Actually, Garak's entire character was made of win. As was his relationship with Odo. (And I also haven't read much DS9 fic, despite being a total fanfic junkie. I just never really thought the show needed it. As opposed to Voyager, whose entire existence for me was nothing more than a vehicle for smutfic.)
Have you ever watched Blake's 7?
Oy.
