Unpopular Opinions Meme!

Give me a fandom and I'll tell you three unpopular opinions about it. If you give me a show/book/movie/etc that I'm not fannishly active about, I'll give you three things I dislike about the media in question instead.

... completely unrelated, but when I first saw 'VD' I thought it stood for something else. Oops?

Ahhh wait, I see you read Kelley Armstrong SO WOMEN OF THE UNDERWORLD INSTEAD MAYBE? :3

Castle, only because the most recent episode was one of the best written and best acted ones TO DATE.

Or, if you're feeling game, The Hunger Games. Which I just finished and am now DYING to discuss.

Got any unpopular opinions on Lost Girl, or is it too soon? Failing that, let's do... Harry Potter?

It's not just you. I was totally about to make a joke about 'who has anything BUT dislikes about venereal diseases?'

It's why I'm always really, really careful to use the full acronym, TVD.

Ohhhhh God. :blushes: Brain totes did NOT go there. Whoops. My friend and I only refer to it as that lol.

To be far, VD is very, very old school. It's two acronyms old! (There was VD and then there were STDs and now it's STIs.)

Tortall universe? :D

Dislikes For True Blood

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

1.) I find it very hard to be too emotionally invested in how Bill mistreats Sookie. But every time he fails as Jessica's maker, I want to stake his ass.

2.) Jason fucking Stackhouse.

3.) That Jessica's virginity issue was never resolved. How are she and Hoyt working around it? How's their sex life? What about plastic surgery? Is there any that she could get her hymen removed?

Unpopular Opinions For TVD

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

1.) Elena is not boring, especially in the first season, when she was clearly a girl struggling to enjoy life again and frustrated that she wasn't who she used to be.

2.) Stefan is also not boring. Admittedly, he's a little melodramatic, but it clearly runs in the family.

3.) Elena loving Damon would likely help him much less than fandom would have us believe.

3 Qubbles About The Most Recent Castle Episode

[redbrunja.livejournal.com]

1.) Alexis' subplot was kind of pointless. Having it be Ashley was the most dull resolution and I kept wanting it to tie into the main plot somehow.

2.) The switcheroo with the killer at the end. That happens every episode, and it gets old, even in an otherwise tight and suspenseful forty minutes.

3.) The more wasn't done with Castle being similar to the killers, given the glee he takes in murder and trickery.

That said, BANG UP EPISODE, WRITERS. I loved that they brought in the father of one of the earlier murder victims, and the whole thing was just very taut and suspenseful, especially those scenes in the box with Beckett. (Although, really, I think Ryan should have died in this episode and Castle should be in intensive care.)

Regarding last week's episode (which I also really enjoyed), even though I knew it was coming, I adored Castle's poleaxed look when Beckett nonchalantly tells him that she's break him out of jail. In that vein, what do you think of Castle renewing his relationship with one of his ex wifes?
