A Question Concerning Alec
Watching "Designate This" and "Bag 'Em" tonight, I had a few thoughts (many of which concerned my desperate desire for the return of Logan's season 1 glasses and haircut). Seeing Alec raised a few questions.
I haven't been in this fandom a long time, but I feel like I'm seeing an unfair amount of animosity towards Alec from my fellow Max/Logan shippers. Don't get me wrong, I am not a Max/Alec shipper by any definition of the word, but I still like the character. I actually think the reason Max can't stand him to begin with is because he bears a resemblance to her in the pilot episode: no concern for saving the world, just trying to get by as comfortably as possible (I actually have this whole rant about how I prefer some parts of Alec's character to Max's, but I need to refresh my memory on the rest of Season 2 before I let that one out). As long as he's not interfering with our main duo, I like the guy.
So my question is this: Am I imagining this fandom animosity towards Alec (it's possible; stranger things have happened)? If you dislike Alec, why? Is it because you view him as a threat to your ship, is it the actions of Alec-supporters in the fandom that gets you going, or do you just have a beef with the character? I'm just curious. There were a lot of bad things about Season 2, but I don't find Alec to be one of them; I'm interested in why other people do.
