Name five characters who would hate attending a family reunion.

Ah, dysfunctional families. One of my favourite things to read, listen and watch.

1) Tiberius, as portrayed in I, Claudius. Not that Tiberius in any version and as described by any historians doesn't strike me as hating family reunions, but I assume the meme goes after fictional ( Read more... )

Heroes having been cancelled has evoked grief from some of my flist and celebration from others. I said my personal goodbye to the show two seasons ago, and I never doubted I made the right decision, but I can't forgot how much I enjoyed watching it once upon a time, how I used to love the characters (well, Sylar excepted...), that it inspired me ( Read more... )

1.) Sandman. There is some, but not much, especially if you discount the inevitable "a lonely teenager becomes friends with one or several of the Endless" type of stories. The fact that everything that doesn't fall into this category tends to be awesome only makes me long for ( Read more... )

Heroes, you will not get me back with all this talk on my flist about spoilery things gathered by ( other people's reviews )

Also, I chose to ( Read more... )
