Unpopular Opinions You Didn't Ask For

[crickets]

I'm pretty notorious for having the least popular opinions you can have in fandom. I'm not sure why. And it's not as though I'm trying, it just is, you know? It would be far easier for me if this weren't the case. I am this way because Jacob made me this way, by the way.

Re Glee: I think the Pilot suffered from some lack of direction, but for serious, the last 5 minutes pretty much makes up for that.

[crickets]

See, this is what I am thinking. I will definitely get to that second half. Maybe not tonight! But sometime this week.

[oregonblondie]

Ah! So watch the aired version of the Pilot! Not the pre-air! Because I watched the pre-air and it the pacing/editing of the whole thing was kind of painful. But, I just watched the aired version, and they cut out the dead weight and it's so much better!

[crickets]

See? This is the pre-air version I was talking about! Glad to know I'm not crazy.

[gigglemonster]

I agree with MOST of this :D
It's just funner to have a variety of ships. It's fun to experiment and like you said, make it believable. I'm definitely with you on that

And Eric, meh. And Juliet ugh.

Awwwww Ronon and Sheppard ♥ ♥

*USES MY HAPPY HAPPY MISHA ICON BECAUSE YOU SAID I COULDDDD*

[gigglemonster]

Omg Hewletts!
They're like the most adorable thing ever lol

[crickets]

They are! I should have this in an icon. Hah. Anyway, I felt this was the only proper response. ;)

Yeah, me too, re: canon pairings, but then, slasher here, so that's no surprise. Is disinterest in canon pairings rare among het readers/writers? Because it's kind of de rigeur for slashers, natch.

I don't watch SGA but I can't see why anyone wouldn't want to slash Ronon. He's gorgeous!

Misha is ♥LOVE♥!! The more you know, the more you love him - clearly you've not exposed yourself enough to the sparkly fabulousness that is Misha Collins! Resistance is futile!

[crickets]

I think disinterest in canon pairings is more rare (especially if you're looking outside of livejournal.) That doesn't mean that those readers/writers of canon pairings aren't interested in other pairings in addition to that. (Which is what I meant when I said that part probably wasn't that unpopular, I should edit to be more clear.)

I get the feeling a lot of fans watch the show for certain canon pairings and that's the reason they'll start to participate in a particular fandom in the first place. Obviously, this isn't true with most slashers. I have written a little slash but am more comfortable writing het. I read both slash and het so I guess I kind of forgot about your poor slashers. *snuggles you*

He really is, hah. I just feel there's more tension/angst/seriousness to that pairing. But I like them both actually!

I guess if I had any interest in Supernatural at all any more I might feel differently. But as of the moment... hehe.

[zelda_zee]

TBH, to get the Misha thing you'd have to read interviews and watch con footage and such. It's pretty much his personality that makes him awesome. I think he's an attractive guy, but what I love about him is his personality.

Hee! "Poor slashers". :) I'd actually hate being invested in canon pairings as a writer. I think writing slash and non-canon het gives one more freedom, and I like that.

Forgot to mention, I agree w/you re: Juliet too. I don't see the attraction. She's okay - I just don't care about her one way or the other.

[crickets]

I remember a lot of people saying that same thing about Jared. You know, I'm sure he's a lovely guy. From what I have read he's kind of "whatever" about stuff which I can appreciate. Taking it easy and all that. He'd have to be to be in the situation he is in.

I'd actually hate being invested in canon pairings as a writer. I think writing slash and non-canon het gives one more freedom, and I like that. → Yes absolutely. I feel the same way. Honestly if I was more confident at it I'd write more slash. Except,... well I'm not really writing anything lately am I?

For some reason I did not know you felt that about Juliet. I think I started trying to like her, which led to failure which led to indifference which led to annoyance which led to full-on character-hate.

[danniisupernova]

Gotta agree with you 100% on that first one.

[crickets]

It's fun!

[danniisupernova]

Right?

I enjoyed Glee because I'm a geek (and a music geek at that), and I enjoy the idea of a show where the geeks get what they want. And the music was really fun. *shrugs* I'd like to have some TV time that doesn't make me sad or make me feel stupid, that's all.

[crickets]

I'll have to give the second half a chance. I remember later thinking I found a lot of the characters unlikeable. But I'll re-watch [the whole thing this time] and see what it's like.

[kmousie]

I think some of them are supposed to be (and Ryan Murphy's work is going to have an edge, no matter what it is), and I'm not sure than any pilot is going to do justice to the show it's starting up. I'm just happy to have a comedy that I'm excited about, especially after all the drama downers I've dealt with lately.

[crickets]

Yeah definitely understand that. I like to pop in my That 70s Show DVDs or tune in to some Scrubs re-runs if I'm feeling sick of dramatic TV, haha. Always works for me!
