I don't generally do memes and this is the second one in two days, but it keeps popping up on my flist and I really am struck by how apt the fandoms-as-relationships analogy is. Or maybe that just says something about me?

You watched Terminator. For the first time. I... despair of youth these days.

I've tried watching Heroes, but it was the kind of lame Lost was. (Also, for some reason, I hate Milo Ventimiglia so it was never gonna work anyway.)

I absolutely refuse to see Dollhouse, Yes, that's how badly burned I was by NFA.

I don't think I've had enough fandoms to do this meme. (And the picking five favourite fics one I tried once but not only I seem incapable of choosing *five* I know I would end up rambling endlessly about each. Man, this actually sounds wonderful for procrastinating purposes! ... Which is what I'm doing right now.)

I had never seen any of the Terminator movies! I know. My friends here were equally horrified. I have the second one for tonight, though. And then I will get the third one from Netflix and then I will be able to watch Sarah Connor.

I watched the first season of Lost and then got bored because it just moved so slowly and I wasn't that invested in any of the characters. I always meant to go back and watch the second season once it was released on DVD, but I never did and now I don't even know what season it's in. I really liked the first season of Heroes, but I really haven't been impressed since.

Joss always hurts me, but it's always so good up until that point. I will be watching Dollhouse, but feel free to say I told you so if it goes badly. I think I have made my peace with NFA at this point, as long as I never, ever try to rewatch it. Ever

Next you're gonna say you've never watched any of the Alien movies either!

I don't think you need the third Terminator to watch The Sarah Connor Chronicles - from what I remember reading (since I haven't watched the show), the series goes AU after the second movie.

Lost just irritated me. They kept dangling the carrot of there being some big secret that would make things make sense but then never delivering and it was so obvious that they were just pulling shit out of their asses.

Part of the reason why the 5 fics meme is difficult for me is that I still haven't made my peace with NFA and probably never will and, because the bulk of my fic is BtVS/AtS, it just feels weird. Like choosing fic from that fandom is somehow... not being true to myself. (I have a variation of the quantity issue - I do have quite a bit of fic but most of it is really *short*. However some of my favourites are precisely *these*.)

I'll have alcohol for when you all come crying about Dollhouse.

I have seen the first two Alien movies! Not the rest of them, but that's something.

You're right about the Terminator movies, but I'm still going to watch the third one, just so that I've seen them all.

Oh, Dollhouse. I can already tell this is going to be anxiety inducing. And yet.

But the third Terminator movie is so baaaaad.

[redbrickrose]

Ahhh. So that's why everyone keeps trying to talk me out of watching it. *g*

T3 takes your satisfied feelings about T1 and T2, stomps on them and then laughs about it while pointing at you and mocking. It's truly one of those movies that makes you go "WTF JUST HAPPENED HERE??"

Seriously, skip it. (We're all looking out for you here! Listen to us!... or okay, I realize how this might actually make one want to see it to see if it's really that bad. But don't say you weren't warned!)

[redbrickrose]

It's not that I don't believe you! I consider myself duly warned and if I hate it will have only myself to blame. ;)
