Day 3: Fandom meme!

This is ganked from [livejournal.com profile] blythechild, [livejournal.com profile] draycevixen and who knows how many other people by the time I finish typing this ;-)

1. Choose a fandom from the following list: ACD Sherlock Holmes; Almost Human; Battlestar Galactica; BBC Sherlock; Buffy the Vampire Slayer; Cabin Pressure; Caprica; Castle; CBC's The National; The Clangers; Community; Eternal Law; Father Ted; Jane Austen (all); Life on Mars; Monty Python; Sleepy Hollow; Warehouse 13. There, that should be enough to suit anyone!

2. Comment here with one of the above fandoms.

3. I will tell you the following:

• The first character I first fell in love with
• The character everyone else loves that I don’t
• The character I love that everyone else hates
• The character I used to love but don’t any longer
• The character I would totally smooch/get friendly with
• The character I’d want to be like
• The character I’d slap
• A pairing that I love
• A pairing that I despise

I always forget to mention the precision part of snark but it's hugely important. Characters who are written as always snarky are tiresome because they become two dimensional in the process, even though I love snark.

It can't be their whole personality. Bodie, Gene, Finch, Ichabod, Illya are all given to snarky humour but it's not their response to everything.

And again, I agree about Katrina. I really wish they'd make use of her. I'm hoping we'll learn more about limbo next season, particularly as Abbie is currently trapped there.

I've been trying to think of a show where the "will they, won't they?" didn't go on too long and wreck a show... Erm... Bones perhaps? Still, that show developed so many other problems in the process.

So we're of one mind on the timing and proportion of snark. Good to know *g*

*nods* Hopefully she's whipping her fellow limboites into good law-abiding citizens right this minute. That lass is redoubtable.
