With all the friending memes going around (LJ revival for the win!) I figured that a meme would be a nice way to break the ice... and it would be way more fun for me personally than writing up an about-me post (like like this meme is restricted to new members of my flist, or anything crazy like that).

So, without further ado...

Fandom Tennis Match Meme!

Okay, here's how this is going to work. You comment with a fandom question. I answer it and then ask you a question that has some thematic relevance to the question you asked me.

My tags and my icons are good places to get ideas about what fandoms/ships/etc I'm interested in. Also, my bulletproof kinks/tropes tag is here.

Okay, first of all, I'm only going to talk about the first season, because I was horribly unimpressed with the choices that the writers made regarding the second season.

1.) Badass ladies with complex emotional landscapes. Like, I can't stress this enough. It is the ladies on the show who get the most interesting backstories and the most time devoted to revealing those backstories.

2.) The ladies are the deadliest fighters. The hardest hitter on the show is M'gann, the girly-girl (I say that as a descriptor, no value judgment involved) telepath and shapeshifter and telekinetic who likes ridiculous teen shows and is a cheerleader and likes baking and wants life to be like a tv show. (P.S. She also has a lot of fantastically interesting backstory, see #1.)

3.) It's funny.

4.) It has a great structure - episodes that function on there own but still propel the characters and plots forward.

5.) It's just awesome.

Ooh, this is exciting. I watched the first four episodes and have since read some old-ish Teen Titans comics that had some of the same characters, so I decided it might be worth having Netflix send me the next disc. M'gann was adorable, so that's great that she also gets to be awesome. :)

M'gann has a great arc.
