Owain Yeoman (The Mentalist) on portmanteau ship names

[morwen_peredhil]

He hates them as much as I do:

[Fans] give all four of us these horrible love abbreviations! We're RigsPelt, which is bad enough, but they're Jisbon, which sounds like something you might have to go to the dry cleaner to deal with. (TV Guide 11/16/09)

ETA: Sorry, but I only have an Agent Cho icon at the moment. There's no business like Cho

*APPROVES*

That reminds me that I need to catch up on the last two episodes.

Also, I giggle because Jizabeth is one of the hellaciously funny Sheppard/Weir namesmashes. Mind you, it's only funny because it didn't become the dominant pairing name. ;) (Tee-hee!)

Jisbon. *snigger*

I could've lived without knowing that people have namesquishes for The Mentalist ships (not that I should be surprised), but I appreciate the snark.

A Cho icon is totally appropriate for a comment like that no matter who said it.

[morwen_peredhil]

Seriously, people, Jisbon? LISTEN TO YOURSELVES!

[lacylaces]

The Mentalist has the worst ship name mash-ups ever! And I usually at least find ship names entertaining/funny.

Cho is awesome!

[morwen_peredhil]

Yeah, these ship names aren't even funny, just plain gross.

RigsPelt? RigsPelt?

[morwen_peredhil]

RigsPelt makes me think of excessive body hair, true, but to me Jisbon wins (loses?) because its connotations are even worse.

I enjoy referring to it as VD, because I'm twelve, too.

Also because when I look at Damon, VD comes to mind.
