Ask Me My Fandom Opinion
1. Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific,general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general.
2. Just one question, please, but it can (and perhaps should) have sub-parts.
3. That's it. It can be as normal or odd as you like.

Date: 2006-06-18 01:21 am (UTC)and hmmm. My fondest memory of a fannish experience...*g* hearing applause at Escapade after Jesus Walks. I am sometimes kind of an attention whore, man.
...well, okay, all of the time. I only admit it sometimes.

Date: 2006-06-18 01:44 am (UTC)But seriously? He really is just an amazing character, especially for being one that got ignored largely by both the fanbase and the writers. Like, he went from being kind of this nihilistic and self-destructive hardass protector (SO MUCH with the death wish) to being a guy who was willing to compromise a lot of personal integrity to do the largest amount of good to being a guy who was willing to take his punishment because it was just to fighting and not dying nope nope nope not dying to fight the big bad one last time. And through it all he was funny and hot and smarter than anyone gave him credit for, innovative and clever and honorable and well-meaning, and he liked movies and thought Denzel Washington was robbed of an Oscar for Malcolm X and is awesome at Risk.
And and and he never ever lost sight of the mission or of what his role in that mission was. Never *once*. His cause was doing good and protecting people the best he could and he did it and never forgot that's what he was supposed to be doing.
And *that* is why Gunn is awesome.

Date: 2006-06-18 01:22 am (UTC)Um. Um. Wesley. Because he would kick Giles in the balls and Giles has too much of a superiority complex about Wesley to think he would need to fight that dirty.

Date: 2006-06-18 01:39 am (UTC)Also, I find it incredibly telling that even drummed out of the navy, he's still wearing his uniform coat. It *means* something to him and that is...pretty much all I need.

Date: 2006-06-18 01:35 am (UTC)And he is most awesome, I think, as Norrington. Because he's all pretty and he has that voice and that sort of steely determination to fight crime and yet he is also a little unsure of himself and he wants to be loved, but he wants to be loved honestly, and he's all *classy* and honorable and just. Yes.
...#2 on the awesome list is Malcolm from MacBeth
Beyond the Thunderdome.He is least awesome as...um. um. um. *draws a blank* Maybe Prince what's-his-face in Eroica? I have never seen Eroica so I don't know! Maybe he is awesome in that.

Date: 2006-06-18 01:29 am (UTC)#2...Cerberus. Because Hellpuppy is the awesomest most adorable murderous giant canine ever. Also there was the gay threesome.
#3 I have to go with Boa vs Python for this one, 'cause a) it has David Hewlett who is supposed to be like the uberhot in a greasy Phil Collins sort of way, b) there is a rave, c) there is bestial oral sex, d) there's snake sex, c) there are snakes. In my own personal canon of...cheesy SF-ness, I believe that the snake offspring of Boa and Python are the ones that hijack the plane in the upcoming masterpiece, Snakes on a Plane.
#4 is Raptor. Because GRAR! *makes guy-in-a-rubber-raptor-suit flaily motions* GRAAAAAAR!
#5 I give to Darklight. Because it has The Sentinel, David Hewlett, and That Chick from Roswell.

P.S. TiVo has chosen to record BATS for me. "A bat-loving zoologist in Gallup, Texas, must find a way to stop genetically altered bats from killing people." It's on at nine. You gonna be around to watch, or should I watch it without you?
