Five Fandom Opinions

[butterfly]

I gave some thought to doing the 'unpopular fandom opinions' meme but a) it seems like too much work figuring out which of my opinions are popular and which aren't (though one or two are guaranteed - yay for Eve) and b) y'all probably know most of them anyway.

Five Fandom Opinions (that I don't mention much)

1) I prefer Ezri Daz to Jadzia Dax (Deep Space 9).

2) The writers made the right choice in killing off Jonathan and in keeping Andrew (Buffy the Vampire Slayer).

3) Like my mom, I miss Cordy not at all (Angel). Actually, it's kinda nice not to have her around, being bitchy and never getting called on it.

4) The John/Aeryn thing is too easy (Farscape). And that sounds silly, given all they go through, but it's too easy. She's too human-looking for me to ever take her seriously as an alien and so the entire relationship feels false and fake and... easy. It feels like the easy writing choice - stick him with a girl who looks human.

5) Ross and Rachel are as exciting as counting the number of holes that are in a ceiling when you're too sick to move and have nothing else to do (Friends). And if anyone ever calls me their lobster, there will be eye-rolling and then avoidance.

Oh, and I haven't seen most of Season Three of Angel, so I was hoping someone could place a moment for me. Wesley's holding Connor and Angel kisses Connor on the cheek and it's ten kinds of adorable. Anyone know where that's from? It kills me even out of context.

I think it's from "Sleep Tight" right before Wesley takes Connor away and get's his throat slashed. He askes is Angel want's to say goodbye to Connor for the evening.

Yo!

*cries* Sad, but that's probably true.

Feh, I can live without her.

Shit, is that show still running?!

I don't watch Farscape or Friends (although I'm planning on catching up on Farscape at some point), so I can't comment on those. I'm all over your first three, though. I never liked Jadzia, but I adored Ezri. Andrew became one of my most favorite characters ever. And Cordy was just ruined in the last two seasons of Angel, to the point that I can't even look on earlier episodes without my opinion being affected. Bah. I prefer the show without her.

I wasn't unhappy about Cordelia leaving either. But that's mostly because of her S3 characterization- I'm sure you've heard all of the snide "St. Cordelia" remarks, even if you haven't caught all of the episodes.

(Also, I think the lobster thing is kinda romantic. Because I am a dork. //hides in shame)

I'm right there with you on Andrew vs. Jonathan. Not that I didn't love Jonathan and all, but if they'd kept him, they'd have been going over familiar ground. Keeping "Tucker's brother" kept things fresh, and besides, Andrew actually turned out to have character. Rather endearing character, when all was said and done, actually.

As for Ross and Rachel: they're half the reason I stopped watching "Friends."

1) I prefer Ezri Daz to Jadzia Dax (Deep Space 9).

That's exactly how I feel. Jadzia always bothered me. It's just too bad that Ezri didn't have much time on the show, since she came in later. I didn't think that was entirely fair.

So agreeing on Andrew. So disagreeing on Dax.
Hmm, on Cordy... I like the S5 dynamic very much, and it would be completely altered if she were still there. But I miss her pre-Jasmine self in that I remember how cool she was and wish there could be more of her.

Agree with 2, 4 and 5. Not seen enough of ezri dax to have an opinion. And I miss Cordy.

Just for a moment there, I though you meant teenage Connor. Because that would make me so so very happy.

But yeah, I think the bit you mean is from Sleep Tight.

Well, I certainly agree with 3. I never got the fuss over Cordy or why people thought she was so great.
