Fringe!

(Also hai! :D)

Hiiiiiiii!

Hahaha, I'm not too tuned into Fringe fandom, but my thoughts are basically:

1. Peter/Olivia isn't an OTP for me. I ship them, but I just don't find them compelling enough to be obsessed about?
2. I don't think Olivia Dunham is the bamfiest bitch to hit a show since Dana Scully. I think she's fierce and I think she's awesome, but sometimes, I think her stans sometimes way overblow her awesome.
3. I don't understand why Astrid is there half the time. I find the actress fierce, but the character herself is a bit like a Triscuit - a little too bland for my taste. Astrid serves no purpose than to be there to cater to Walter's every need and I'd love it if we saw some sort of development for her character.

Grey's Anatomy!

(I've never watched Victorious, but I do find iCarly to be super enjoyable. Ah!)

hyacinthian October 19 2010, 02:28:07 UTC

I loooooooove iCarly. Victorious wasn't something I was interested in and then I found the OTP. Oh, OTPs.

1. I shipped George/Izzie from the pilot. I saw them as just working so perfectly and complementing each other and I didn't understand the hate.

2. Mark/Addison > Mark/Lexie

3. The Trio (Derek/Addison/Mark) was the best plot arc this show has ever had for me.

I'm not quite sure what constitutes an unpopular fandom opinion, hahaha.

1. I shipped Krycek/Marita?

2. I'm not a fan of "Jose Chung's From Outer Space." Some parts of it are great but I don't understand why the episode is as hugely popular as it is. I'm not a fan of "Hollywood A.D." either.

3. The forehead kiss in the sixth extinction squicks me out a little. I love these kids, ship them to death, but there's just something about the way that kiss is shot.

WHAT UP, TORCHWOOD?

1. I'm not the hugest Ianto fan because I feel like the way he was written in S1 vs. the way he was written in S2 was such a huge leap which wasn't accounted for.

2. I love Tosh more than I love Gwen.

3. "Adam" is one of my favourite episodes.

DOCTOR WHO. Oh I am such a stirrer of shit.

Also, totally avoiding your Grey's Anatomy comments just cause I know where it's headed :P

1. While I ship 9/Rose and 10/Rose, I don't really actively ship them. I didn't mind their OTP times on the show but ultimately, they weren't what was pulling me in to watch every week.

2. No matter how terrible the reveal of it was, I loved the Bad Wolf motif throughout the first series, including that wicked creepy website with the song with kids singing played in loop reversed.

3. Midnight the episode will always be why I can never hate Russell.

4. I love all of the companions equally.
