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!

Well, I am all about Nyssa from the audios, so I understand your disagreement. But this?

I think Ianto is about ten billion times better than Jack.

You are clearly deranged. ;-)

I just hate Jack and I think that people underestimate Ianto. Not that I have any particular hardon for Ianto, but people who think that Jack is too good for Ianto piss me off. It's like the Doctor saying he only takes the best, when he clearly doesn't, because he took Tegan and Sarah Jane, both who wandered into his TARDIS and weren't invited. It just angers me, I guess. JACK IS JUST NOT THAT GREAT, I guess. He's sort of a complete asshole, in fact. :/ I don't have any particular love for Ianto (and I'd happily have him die to get back Owen), but it really bothers me when people pull this "one half of a pairing isn't worthy of the other half" sort of thing. It's just not true. I also think Jack would resent that if he heard someone say it, and that he'd not be with Ianto if he believed it.

AND I DON'T EVEN LIKE TORCHWOOD OR JACK/IANTO OR ANYTHING. GOD. AKR$JYAOER$JOH3jerehahfh sorry.

WATCH ANY BLAKES 7 YET?

Ahhhhhhhhhh. I getcha. But that's not my problem with Jack/Ianto at ALL. I think Jack is a complete man-whore who has now lived for hundreds of years and I can't imagine why in the hell anyone watching this show thinks he is all of sudden gonna fall in love and want to settle down forever and ever and make assbabies or some shit. Dude. Jack doesn't love ANYONE but himself. He's fucking Ianto because Ianto is available and I guess some people think he's hot (I don't). They are NOT an OTP. I don't think Jack has any idea how to be monogomous or why anyone would WANT to be. (But I also think Ianto has no personality and is incredibly boring. But we'll leave that part out for now because I was doing so well with the whole "agreeing with you" thing.)

WATCH ANY BLAKES 7 YET?

I ♥ you. But no. I'm in the middle of a raging (but doomed to be shortlived because there are only eight episodes and I fucking HATE brit telly for that kind of crap) obsession with Ashes to Ashes.

Aaah, yeah. Well, that sort of OTP and assbabies would bug me for TWO/JAMIE. WHO BELONG TOGETHER FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER. So I do get that. I do think Jack has the capability of loving someone for a very long time, or being mostly monogamous. But, yeah. I see where you're coming from.


And, hhahahaha, oh A2A. I saw the first episode and didn't care much for it. I may someday watch the rest, but, ugh. I'm glad you're enjoying it, at least.

Well, that sort of OTP and assbabies would bug me for TWO/JAMIE.

Ugh, TOTALLY. I think I pretty much hate that crap for ANY pairing, but I've been seeing so much of it for Jack/Ianto recently that they are the ones who fell victim to my rage.

I saw the first episode and didn't care much for it.

I didn't either, actually. I've learned from bitter experience never to watch a new show from the begining because pilots sometimes suck even when a show turns out to be awesome. I actually watched the fifth episode first and was intrigued enough to go back and watch more. The first episode was a bit weak, but good GOD did it ever get better. I guess I'm gonna go back and watch Life on Mars next, but I suspect I won't love it as much because it hasn't got the things I love most about A2A. Namely Keeley Hawes, the 80s, and a female lead.

Now, my love, I must sleep. What the hell am I even doing UP at this hour?!

[vann.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It makes sense that if you see it more you'd hate it more. I don't look at TW anything so it doesn't bother me, but if I wanted realistic J/I it would.

And that's probably the problem with me for A2A. It didn't have Sam, so I just couldn't make myself care that much. I have the rest of it, and it's only eight episodes, so I will probably watch it. She just didn't appeal to me from the start and I missed Sam and Annie and. I dunno. I like the 70s a lot more than the 80s. XD


NIGHT

I like the 70s a lot more than the 80s. XD

You are SUCH a contrarian! ;-)

[vann.livejournal.com]

... don't most people like the 70s more than the 80s? XD I like the 60s more than the 70s!

[elyssadc.livejournal.com]

Huh. I don't really know. I love the 80s the most of any decade because it was the decade I grew up in, started high school in. My nostalgia for it is very intense. I love the music and the fashion and the television and the movies and pretty much everything, really. It was all so...NEON. ;-)

[vann.livejournal.com]

I guess that makes sense. I like the 80s, but in a more nostalgic way. I was a kid in the 80s, so I like the kid cartoons and TV shows and things. Mostly I find the 80s just embarrassing and garish. XDXD
