Gates, Tardis's, Surfboards, and Hot Looking Guys - The Usual SciFi Trappings
Even though it’s early, time for the weekend in review. Well, more like the Saturday in review. Thus far today I have eaten breakfast and made plans to watch some very bad TV with k_julia. We’ve decided it’s best to suffer celebrity crushes and the low points in their careers together. Which reminds me to say “Hi!” to my friends in Vegas

Yeah...me too. *sigh*
If only Ioan would work on his dancing now. My God was that embarrassing.
But oddly in-character for Mr Fantastic!
See, that would have made it work for me. Otherwise we're left with a guy that allowed countless numbers of beings to be killed and planets destroyed until he saw how much Reed and Sue loved each other. Huh?
I completely agree. But it wouldn't be the first time that the popular media has decided that their franchise's OTP was more important than, well, everything else EVAAAR. Even Farscape did that. Though they did it with the surprising and wonderful flair of adding that it was a completely reprehensible decision :)
Have you heard that FOX is planning a Surfer-centric film?
No. But oooooh. If Lawrence Fisburne voices again, I'll definitely go and watch that.

I don't think a franchise's OTP should EVER take over. However, if it happens on a series, there is still ample time to focus on other characters and stories. So while the OTP may end up taking up too much focus, there are usually other things to distract you (assuming it's a good show). But when it's a movie, a ninety minute one and one that was trying to convey the message that it takes a team working together to win, then saying it all came down to the love of two people is...odd.
