so apparently there are talks of a veronica mars movie if they can raise money for it in 30 days? (ETA: LOL, they're going to be able to raise the full amount in a couple of hours-- it's awfully fun to watch the numbers change) which I'm guessing means I should totally watch the show now sometime and I bet it's going to be like the time I watched ( Read more... )

character: kalinda sharma, in soviet russia post tags you, i'm kindasorta glad the world didn't end, character: cary agos, freud probably has a theory on it, fanfiction is a valid life choice, fandom: veronica mars, fandom: the good wife, fanfiction, why the world should have ended in 2012, fanfiction: the good wife, let's pretend i didn't write this, patron saint of doomed ships, ship: cary/kalinda, what even is my life?

I'm missing a tonne of FMM due random RL occurrences. It's v grating! Although from my p.o.v the whole thing is a disaster. Rooting for Martha but pretty apprehensive. AH WELL.

Hehe - of course you'd be fixated on the one on the whole show I couldn't have less interest in. I LIKE KALINDA'S FACE THOuGH:




IT WAS MEANT TO BE ~SHIMBOLIC! :P

The other person is me, Ian is you - you get the drift.

OMG RL SHOULD NOT INTRUDE ON FMM. That is too much suckage D: I barely know any of the characters anymore except Hermione, Sansa and Britta. But, if it helps, I voted Martha!

UM. YOU AREN'T INTERESTED IN KALINDA? IS THAT EVEN LEGAL? Unless you mean Cary, which, I can sort of understand, but I love him and I think he's one of those characters who've grown a lot through the course of the show, and in an extremely organic manner. (Are you all caught up, or did you stop watching somewhere midway?)

Hee, YES, I KNOW. We are both very pretty in the gif. :D

YAY Martha!

Also I think you could love DW, not that you will ever watch it but still, LOL!

I know what you mean re FMM, it's obscene!

OMG HERMIONE. /crying myself to sleep over the fact that she will never win, tbh.

Now I am caught up! I rarely give up tv shows, hah. But I'm not particularly interested in Kalinda/Cary, I meant! Cary I sort of like, just because of his ~growth, as you say. I think the writing for Kalinda and the execution don't really match up. Like, she is a) well written and b) well executed at the same time. But writing and execution clash like crazy, IMO, and it bugs me. Love her a whole lot more than Cary though, still.

Hee - it's who we are! ;D

I WILL WATCH IT SOMETIME. I want to, honestly, I just wish someone would...give it to be, tbh.

Hermione is going to have a counter-campaign run against her soon I'm sure because she'd easily win otherwise. And I DO get that, HP is WAY bigger than FMM and it's an easy win for pretty much any character from it; but then it shouldn't be included at all (although it wasn't this year and then it was voted in, so :s)

LOL, okay, your thoughts about Kalinda are confusing to me, but I love every character on the show a lot and kind of think they're the best version of the characters they're written as. SORRY, I JUST LOVE THIS SHOW, I SHALL PROBABLY NEVER BE TOO CRITICAL OF IT. It's kind of like BtVS or Whedonverse in general; I am never critical critical of it, regardless of whatever issues it has. Cary/Kalinda though, OTP, guh.

Yo sorry for the lateness. I finally have a tonne of spare time. YOU ARE PROBABLY GONE FOREVER AGAIN. OH. WOE.

The argument is that Hermione is boring though. SCANDAL, BASICALLY. Though lol Idk if you've seen this thread?

I've argued endlessly about how I feel it should be run ect. with catteo and waltzmatildah and they shouted me down, basically. So I have decided to chill on this particular issue! ;)

OKAY, I SHALL EXPLAIN MY THOUGHTS TO YOU ANY WAY.

There is script!Kalinda (who is well written and therefore well executed) and then there is some great acting, which is interesting and consistent within itself, by Archie Panjabi* (which is therefore also well executed). But I don't feel the character in the script and the character that Panjabi is playing MATCH. Heh.

*WITH THE EXCEPTION OF HER VOICE, THOUGH. Like, isn't the character meant to have grown up in the U.S? I don't get why English actors and actresses are so crap at training their voices? LIKE JOMO LOL @ HIM. Scottish actors and actresses are so great. Like, I don't get it. I'm not sure I like the fact that network shows have like no one who is classicaly trained. Maybe I do like it. I shall think about it. Hah.

Wait, Britta is still in the running? Must vote then! (Sorry, I'm just so frustrated by how much hate she gets in fandom sometimes)

She does?! I thought everyone loves Britta? And Community fandom in general seems really protective of everyone. I suppose it's that constant threat of cancellation that makes people not hate on anything too much (ala TVD).

I just found this still in my browser...I pressed Post but it never actually did anything but make the button grey ~~

I've stalked the threads on tumblr after the Thanksgiving ep. and I've come across too many posts calling her useless or annoying (often it's confession blogs, but not always). And I won't even start with the fixation on Gillian 'not being as hot' as Alison Brie. ~~

youcallitwinter March 13 2013, 22:04:05 UTC
ugh, that is the lamest ever. Like how does being a good comedienne, which Gillian Jacobs definitely is, relate AT ALL to being hot? (Which incidentally Gillian Jacobs also definitely is.) IDK, it's impossible to understand fandom and I've given up trying; from now on I like what I like and to hell with whether I ~should and what it ~implies.
