Got A Secret?
Oh, happy Friday. I don't have a scrap of food in the house, so I'm going to have to go do something about that, but before I do, here is a little meme action, and Fannish Friday Discussion for y'all...
KITCHEN CONFIDENTIAL
This show wasn't world changing by any means, but it kind of showed the funnest version ever of 'boys will be boys'. They talked shit to each other. They hit on girls (successfully and unsuccessfully). They fought among themselves. They backed each other up. It was just the funnest show, and I kind of scratch my head and laugh at how a tv series with Bradley Cooper would be an instant smash now- it was probably about a year too early.

PRETTY LITTLE LIARS
This show is actually pretty smart sometimes, hiding behind some very clever advertising that makes it seem simple. This probably isn't going to go down as my all-time favorite show about girls, but it is right now. Behind all the mysteries, and the stunts, and Aria's crazy wardrobe, this show is just about the dynamics between four very different girls.
Day One: Lead Character (Jack Bourdain, Kitchen Confidential/Veronica Mars (Veronica Mars)
Day Two: Favorite Supporting Character (Brooke Davis, One Tree Hill/Matt Saracen, Friday Night Lights)
Day Three: A Character You Hated But Grew To Love (Brenda Barrett, General Hospital/Buddy Garrity, Friday Night Lights)
Day Four: A Character You Relate To (Angela Chase, My So-Called Life/Ira Wright, Funny People)
Day Five: Favorite Character On An Opposite Gender-Driven Show (Naevia, Spartacus/Hank Lawson, Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman)
Day Six: Favorite Gender-Driven Show (Kitchen Confidential/Pretty Little Liars)
Day Seven: A Character That Needs More Screen Time
Day Eight: Favorite Character In A Comedy Show
Day Nine: Favorite Character In A Drama Show
Day Ten: Favorite Character In A Sci-Fi/Supernatural Show
Day Eleven: Favorite Character In A Children's Show
Day Twelve: Favorite Character In A Movie
Day Thirteen: Favorite Character In A Book
Day Fourteen: Favorite Older Character
Day Fifteen: Favorite Character Growth Arc
Day Sixteen: Favorite Parent Character
Day Seventeen: Favorite Warrior Character
Day Eighteen: Favorite Non-Warrior Character
Day Nineteen: Favorite Non-Human Character
Day Twenty: Favorite Antagonist
Day Twenty-One: Favorite Character Screwed Over By Canon
Day Twenty-Two: Favorite Character You Love But Everyone Else Hates
Day Twenty-Three: Favorite Platonic Relationship
Day Twenty-Four: Favorite Romantic Relationship
Day Twenty-Five: Favorite Family Relationship
Day Twenty-Six: Favorite Classical Character (from Pre-20th Century Literature Or Mythology Or The Like)
Day Twenty-Seven: A Character You Have Extensive Personal Canon For
Day Twenty-Eight: Favorite Writer (Television, Books, Movies, etc.)
Day Twenty-Nine: A Fic Rec
Day Thirty: Whatever You'd Like!
And now some Fannish Friday Discussion, that came up when I was chatting back and forth with _touched and laminy this week...
Have you ever shipped a couple where you really didn't like one person involved?
I've shipped couples where I knew that they really weren't right for each other, or knew that there was no way they could work out in the end...but I've never really hated one half and shipped them anyway. I thought it was interesting.
Anyway, have at it.
