Elizabeth is illustrating this meme for me

aruanSo, one resolution among many: post to LJ at least once a week. Even if it's memes that get me there!
Name a fandom or a fannish topic and I will share my unpopular fandom opinions on the matter. Or any opinion, because I have lots of those and don't always know which ones are unpopular or not.
Harry Potter Voldemort was only marginally more evil than Dumbledore.
Stargate Atlantis Can't stand Dr. Keller. My husband talks over her dialogue in a high-pitched voice with things like, "The name 'tongue depressor' makes me sad, so I just call them popsicle sticks!" and my personal favorite, "Is a concussion when you swear a lot?"
Podfic I want just one story read with a modicrum of emotion, to hear the narrator get breathless during action scenes and convey fear or cold through their pitch and speed. I cry and hold my breath and feel my heart pound while reading, but listening to even chase scenes puts me to sleep.
Doctor Who I like the ninth Doctor best. And Rose.
Battlestar Galactica I liked the ending. That Starbuck was a being of light but maybe she was meant to learn something too, that Baltar and Six are like a divided Loki, that Adama got to Earth, that the world spins madly on and maybe someday we'll have to learn the same lessons all over again.
Supernatural I love all the ladies on my friendslist who love this show, and even read their purely squee posts because who doesn't love fannish love, but I just don't care, and never will.
Warnings on fanfic Make them the same color as the background so they must be highlighted to be read. It's not that difficult.
Bonus meme! My one-month-delayed effort at 30 days of ME, if for no other reason than to have a ready reason to open the update window.
Day 1: Favorite song! I actually pondered this while organizing my iTunes playlist a few months ago, and came up with Duran Duran's Ordinary World. It's the scale of the narrator's loss that gets to me, that any one thing can mean so much to a person's life that it can throw off their bearings completely, but it doesn't matter how important it is because it can still be lost. It's motivational, in a way? Because as broken as this person is, there is the resolve to figure out how to move on.
