I have other memes to post tomorrow, but I'll leave you all with this one for now:

Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom.

Check my profile if you need some ideas.

Spoilers through the end of the series.

1. Sheppard and his team got away with too much. They woke up the Wraith, made decisions for everyone else in the Pegasus galaxy, and pretty much created their own worst enemy (Michael). The writers had a chance to address some of that in "Inquisition," but instead, it turned out to be little more than a clip show, and at the end of it, Sheppard and the others still hadn't taken what their captors had said seriously.

2. Lorne is pretty much getting the short end of the stick while in his position as XO. He's supposed to have some degree of authority and is supposed to provide advice and support to Sheppard and serve as a leader in Sheppard's absence. But he winds up doing little more than accompanying science teams off world and chasing after Sheppard. I get that Sheppard was the star of the show, but Lorne really should have been portrayed as having more of a leadership role.

3. Weir was not a particularly good base commander.

Star Trek?

Oh, this is a tough one. I'm answering for all Star Trek series and movies, btw. Spoilers for everything! Be warned

1. The most annoying character in the series is Harry himself. There were times where I wanted someone to smack him. Yes, I get that he had a rough life. However, that doesn't excuse his constant bad attitude or disrespect to elders.

2. Sirius was an ass. The guy almost got Snape killed with his little Shrieking Shack stunt, and if that had happened, Remus would have either taken the blame for it or at the least, would have had to live with it his whole life. How he didn't get kicked out of Hogwarts, I have no idea.

3. One of the trio should have died at the end of the book. Happy endings are groovy, but I think she copped out by killing off all sorts of characters--even the damn owl--but leaving the trio untouched.

This could be interesting: Being Human.

Hmmm... Tough one! I'm not sure what all opinions are unpopular in this fandom yet. I'll give it a go:

1. I'm glad they recast Mitchell and Annie after the pilot. Nothing against the original two actors, but I prefer Aidan Turner and Lenora Crichlow.

2. I don't have a problem with the fact that George is often naked. I've hears a lot of criticism about that element of the series. I'm not particularly attracted to Russell Tovey, but given his werewolf nature, it would be silly to see him running out of the woods all the time dressed like Lon Chaney.

3. I...can't think of anything else that I would consider to be unpopular by the fandom. In fact, the most controversial thing I can remember seeing people argue about it George's nudity, lol. Poor Russell.
