The Friday Five for 23 December 2022/Just Wondering
anais_pf posted to thefridayfive: These questions were written by minyafalas.
1. Which television series do you wish they had canceled?
2. If you could go back in time and change one thing in history, what would it be and why?
3. Name a song/artist/album that changed your life and why.
4. Name one movie you were looking forward to seeing only to be bitterly disappointed by it, then explain why.
5. Should people really idolize celebrities? (Not just people like Paris Hilton, but others such as Jimi Hendrix, Katharine Hepburn, Jim Morrison, Gene Kelly etc.)
Wow, such negative questions or just maybe judgmental to my way of thinking...
1. I’m not sure how to read this. I mean, does it mean a series that hasn’t been canceled as of yet? Or one that ran for several season and I hated it for that? If I don’t like a series, I just don’t watch it. There’s so much else on to watch, why waste time and energy hating something that’s just as easy to ignore?
2. Hmm, that always gets dicey. I think time plays out the way it’s supposed to. Star Trek taught us that.
3. There are many meaningful songs that I love, but I don’t think one has been especially life changing. Nothing has caused me to change the path of my life or made me question my ideals.
4. Hmm again dicey. I see so few movies anymore and most of them don’t have sequels. All the recent sequels I’ve seen I’ve liked just as much as the first one, sometimes more when applied to films like Star Trek The Motionless Picture.
5. I have been a fan of David McCallum for nearly 50 years. Same with Leonard Nimoy. Do I idolize them? Perhaps when I was younger, but Spock got me through my teens and taught me about acceptance. What harm was there in that? If people like bands or actors, as long as it’s not leading to an insurrection of the government or causing harm to fellow humans, what’s the harm?
