I don't know why, but today I am in the mood to confess my unpopular tv fan opinions. So here are a few:

1. I never really liked Logan Echolls. I thought he was an interesting character, but not a likable one. The regard of so much of the fandom for "woobie Logan" made me want to tear my hair out and negatively affected my enjoyment of VM more than anything else. (I didn't actually tear my hair out though, because my hair one feature that I actually like. Mostly.)

2. I don't like Rodney McKay. I no longer despise him. My feelings have tempered to dislike and irritation, with occasional glimmers of amusement. But mostly, I could do with a whole lot less of him.

3. Unlike almost everybody I know, I don't think that the last two seasons of Buffy were awful. In fact, there's a lot about them that I like, and, I think that overall, more of the story worked than didn't work.

4. Hmm. I can't remember what number 4 was going to be. I may have to come back and edit if I remember.

What are your fandom confessions?

Yep, still here. I was in Kansas over Easter weekend, but did nothing more than bum around Leavenworth and watch NCAA basketball (go KU!). Will definitely have to make it out to Lawrence again.

To expand a bit on #4, I often encounter the idea that controversial = bad storytelling, and it has never made sense to me. I tend to think of banal, cliched or unrealistic stories as "bad" and these don't usually generate controversy. Precisely because they don't speak to the things that people really care about.
