omg.

I've just figured out why the "If I don't get Sam/Jack resolved, I'm never watching again!!!!!" bothers me so much. Aside from the fact that it's not our show, so, whatever...

It's because it's SO childish. This is at the level of a 3 year old denied a candybar for good behavior.

No wonder everyone thinks the shippers are children.

(the same goes for the Farscape fans who said, "SG-1 took all the money from my show, I'll never watch it again!" and similar lines

*distracted* Oo. We have pudding.

You know, that's why I stopped watching Xena, actually.

My ultimatium was "If they don't decide which way they swing, I'm NEVER WATCHING AGAIN!" I couldn't handle the liminality and bait&switch of their sexualities. Either be GAY, STRAIGHT, or BISEXUAL. Don't be all three and none of the above at the same time. Frustrated the fuck out of me as a wee high school student. Mulder and Scully were easy after Xena/Gabrielle/Ares/Joxer/Callisto/Hercules.

Fuckin a.

I will watch SG to the bitter end, damnit.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

aha! And, see, I never got into Xena... my loss, possibly. But I always found it and Hercules a bit... erm, hokey.

I will watch SG to the bitter end, damnit.

YES. And I will be right there with you, because unless they fire the entire production staff and cast, there's no way it will EVER suck as badly as Andromeda.

*clings!*

Xena was a great great show that went horribly horribly wrong and I just lacked the patience for it and X-Files was better. But I recommend it as it was funny, sexy as fuck, and really interesting gender-wise as they'd do things that were TOTALLY SUBVERSIVE followed by "omg, patriarchy rules..."

One of my favorite "WTF! YAY!" moments was the Miss Congeniality episode before there was a Miss Congeniality. "Here She Comes...Miss Amphipolis(sp)" ruled because in the end, the winner ended up being a drag queen (a very beautiful drag queen at that). It were LUVLY.

And Hercules always followed the same plot. Go to a town, flirt/sex a girl, kill a monster/warlord/villain, snark with sidekick. Repeat.

YES. And I will be right there with you, because unless they fire the entire production staff and cast, there's no way it will EVER suck as badly as Andromeda

That is reason enough. OMG. Andromeda. :shudders:

I always found Hercules boring because, well, he was a demigod, but Xena amused because she wasn't *ignores the bit where they hint she was*. What she could do just became high camp at that point.

You're referring to those who forget it's only a tv show.

IT'S ONLY A TV SHOW!!! If you don't enjoy it, turn it off and go outside and ride a bike.

[sheaclaire.livejournal.com]

Yes!! I am a shipper - God knows - but it IS only a show. I'll be here watching as long as the STORIES are interesting. And as for Sam/Jack - that's what fanfic is for. ;)

[katcorvi.livejournal.com]

Yes, thank god for fanfic. It's what sustained me in the last few seasons of X Files. I made it out the other side and I'm still reading about Moose & Squirrel, albeit less since Sam and Jack are my latest obsessi focus.

Great icon!

I thought it sounded familiar!

It so is only a show.

I'm a Daniel/Jack shipper, but you don't see me complaining about how they're never shown in bed together, or what have you. When it comes to canon, I'm kind of happy that they aren't involved, actually. All in all, I would rather have the four get involved with others than to be involved with each other.

Shippiness is for fanfic. :)

The only ship I really got angry with when it came to canon was Peter/Kitty in Excalibur. I -LOVE- that ship, and it worked, but then a stupid writer pulled them together, and Kitty was eventually deaged....*sighs* And then Claremont had her say that she was a virgin (even though Ellis had done everything he could to show that Kitty and Pete had yes in fact went to bed together.) *glares* So yeah, that's the only ship that SHOULD still be in canon. One bitter, bitter thing for me. :( And why FOR THE LOVE OF GOD does Joss have to be a fuckin Piotr/Kitty shipper?!?! *mutters and kicks the fanboy* Okay...now I'm acting all immature. Sorry. *L*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Dude. It still sucks that it's been7 years since they spoke in canon...

But, yes! Hello, he complained about her having cold feet! *mutters* What, did people think they were snuggling like kittens???

Grrrr.

And, of course Whedon's into Piotr. He needed an Angel. Betcha in a year we get Pete back, so he has a Spike.

[fangirljen.livejournal.com]

Seven years?!?!? It's been Seven years?!?!? OMG!!! I guess...wow, that's right. Daaaamn. *blinks*

Exactly!!! Snuggling and kissing, but oh no, that wasn't all. They were so hot together, too. And besides that, they had a working, nuturing relationship. I even liked the fact that Kitty was kinda friends with Romany (who, in my canon, is not an evil, BLONDE, DarkOps Bitch!! That wasn't what her char was about at all!! *grrs*)

Joss is one of those fanboys who wants Kitty all for himself. *F* I sure hope so!!! Pete's around, you know. Alive, who knows what he's doing, but he is at least alive.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

It is my firm belief that the real Romany is in Bermuda, with Jean Grey and Scott Summers...

And, of course Kitty was friends. Romany was smashing. And mocked her brother. What wasn't to like? ;)

Joss just can't write anything but his own characters. (hence, Kitty - Buffy, Piotr = Angel, Emma Frost = Cordelia, Scott Summers = Giles... Pete will = Spike)

Erm. Have ranted on that before, I think.

And. Dude. Romany was all about the crazy antics at parties, investigating the occult, mocking her brother, and just living. There was no black ops. Or kidnaping of Domino. Poor Dom.

[fangirljen.livejournal.com]

*LOL* Love the icon!! :)

Exactly. Or still living it up in London, every so often checking in on her dad. And you know, I don't even really mind Raab's work on Romany in that Union Jack series. She was cool still, and held a gun on him! *L* Good stuff. She wasn't all evil, alien, blonde chick. *sighs*

But aren't his chars on Firefly actually solid? They're not the Joss stereotypes, are they?

It's a rant that one can always turn back to. *nod*

Definitely poor Dom. :(

I like it when chars have chats with each other and can be all snarky. That's exactly what Ellis is good at writing, too. He's good with the action stuff, but he knows how to handle the down time and conversations, too. That's what really made me love Pryde and Wisdom.
