i am just a dreamer wearing sensible shoes

Anya: Xander, if you ever decide to go, I want a warning. You know, with big flashing red lights and one of those clocks that counts down like a bomb in a movie? And there's a whole bunch of colored wires and I'm not sure which is the right one to cut, but I guess the green one and then at the last second, no, the red one, and then click, it stops with three-tenths of a second left, but then you don't leave. Like that, okay?

Xander: Check. Big bomb clock.


in retrospect that kind of breaks my heart a little

There are a couple of shows with *2* characters I absolutely can't stand and I had to take FNL and TW out of the equation because I love them all.

Some of these should be easy. Some might surprise you! There's definitely a ... theme of the type of character I almost always dislike. It probably indicates that I should have some therapy.

I *still* have water in my ear.

These are all *opinions* keep in mind assholes/smell/opinions, yadda yadda

1) John McClane does not have sex with men. Period, end of discussion. I'm one of the biggest slashers on the block but I cannot and will not believe or fantasize about this. Now, I'm sure Bruce, Demi, and Ashton have some sort of wacky sexual hijinks going on, but NOT John McClane.

2) I find the following actors to be hideously unattractive: Orlando Bloom, Elijah Wood, Dan Radcliffe, Eric Bana, Jared Padalecki, Josh Hartnett, Toby McGuire, David Tennant, David Hewlitt, Shia Lebeuf (sp?), Ben Affleck, Christian Bale

3) John Barrowman can't act. That doesn't mean that he doesn't embody Capt. Jack, because he does but he can't act his way out of a paper bag.

4) Dr. Who is terrible.

5) Jensen Ackles has played the same role on every show he's done. So has James Marsters. Think about that.

6) Joss Whedon is doomed to fail, much like Buffy is doomed to be alone. He's bought into his own press and thinks he's a god. The whole giving the audience what it needs instead of what it wants has destroyed any main stream career he could possibly have.

7) Speaking of Joss, Buffy should have ended with The Gift, Spike should have stayed off of Angel and Joyce Summers was a bad mother.

8) Supernatural sucks. Sam and Dean aren't fucking. Bobby is the lamest, laziest plot device in the history of lame/lazy plot devices. The scripts are terrible, the acting isn't strong enough to sell the scripts, the only thing that is half way decent most of the time is the soundtrack, but then they went and used Queensryche, so I can't even say that any more.

Don't get me started on the fans.

9) BSG *could* have been the best show in the history of tv. And then, everything went to hell. I'm still watching but with every episode I hate it more and more. IMO it went to hell immediately after D'Anna was boxed. Lee is a giant, whiny pussy, with the exception of the last episode. He really stepped up there.

10) I'm tired of wank. I'm tired of people perpetuating it for their own small-minded entertainment. I'm tired that it's about the same issues over and over. Ignorance and prejudice are part and parcel of the human condition. Am I advocating it? No. Do I think that it shouldn't be pointed out when people are assholes? No. But I *do* think it's more important speak out against sexism, racism, homophobia, and people's right to privacy in the real world instead of getting all up in arms on LJ.

Turn off the computer, go volunteer for PFLAG. Quit tracking IP addresses and volunteer at a shelter for battered women. Stop taking screen caps and write a letter to your Congress(wo)man.

Quit pointing out where other people are wrong, and do something that's actually productive. Like me, I'm going to go do what I actually get paid for now.


For the record: I love Torchwood and Jack. I fully intend to watch Dollhouse though I expect it to fail. I still watch SPN but only because JA is pretty. There's no way I'm not going to watch the end of BSG
