You know me: the CSI shows if I can pick more than one. If not, CSI: NY.

Dark Angel, please?

I haven't seen all the episodes yet (I'm working my way through), so I also don't know what's unpopular or not, but I have a feeling what may or may not be.

- I don't get Max/Logan. For me, it always seemed like they were pulling teeth to get those scenes done, and I know they're supposedly the OTP of Doom for the show, but I don't get it.
- For me, as much as I love Jessica Alba, I could care less about Max, Original Cindy is what hooked me on the show. Well, that and Jensen Ackles.
- If I didn't like Michael Weatherly so much, I probably would hate Logan. Kind of a lot.

CSI:

- I hate GSR. I mean, I like Grissom, but I really can't ship him. With anyone. And Nick would have done so much more for Sara than Grissom did.
- I wasn't the biggest Sara fan, either though. I just thought she and Nick had this spark, and it really made it fun to watch them.
- I think Greg was better in the lab.
- I'm not really going to miss Warrick.

CSI: Miami:
- Horatio really pisses me off. I was so, so happy when I heard he got shot in the season 6 finale.
- I hate what they did to Ryan.
- I hate the way they twisted Calleigh around in most recent seasons.
- Calleigh/Jake upsets me greatly.
- This show just really pisses me off now.

CSI:NY:
- I like Lindsay. And I prefer Lindsay to Aiden as much as I liked Aiden.
- I don't like Mac/Stella -- I think they have a great friendship, but they would totally crash and burn in a romantic relationship.
- After season 2, I really started liking Danny less and less.
- I want more Hawkes/Flack/Angell backstory.

I'm not going to miss Warrick because he's replacement is played by one of my favorite actresses.

Law + Order

I think I actually agree with you on every opinion...

[identity profile] darkmagic-luvr.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 03:57 am (UTC)(link)
Firefly

[identity profile] qa.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
Chuck and House, if I can pick two.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 02:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Chuck: (I'm not really involved in the fandom a lot, so this is more my opinions.)
- I don't ship Chuck/Sarah. In fact, I think that forcing them as the OTP of Doom is rather lame. I prefer Chuck/Lou and Casey/Sarah, actually.
- I love Captain Awesome.
- Morgan's kind of annoying.
- I really could care less about the Chuck/Sarah angsting, and I wish they would dump it to give Casey more screentime with Chuck.

House:
- Even in the end, when she was dating Wilson/dying, I didn't like Amber. I felt bad that she died, but I still didn't like her.
- Cameron makes me want to stab her every time she's on screen now -- I actually liked her better when she was a duckling.
- I love Kutner.
- I like Chase better now that he's not a duckling.
- I can't really ship anyone with House but Cuddy or Stacey.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 02:28 pm (UTC)(link)
- I don't ship Mal/Inara. At all. I actually ship Inara/Simon, and Mal/Kaylee. (And a bit of Mal/Zoe, but that's only after Wash is dead.)
- Jayne is my favorite character, despite the fact that he's a bastard, with Wash a very close second.
- Like [livejournal.com profile] goddess_loki, I didn't get River until the finale of the show. She just didn't seem to fit in.
- Despite the seperate shipping of them above, I do love Simon/Kaylee. But that might be because I saw the movie first.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 02:32 pm (UTC)(link)
- As much as I love and adore Mary and Marshall's interaction, I ship Mary/Bobby D.
- And I need an icon that says that Bobby D. is cooler than you.
- I think the side storyline with her mother and sister is getting a bit boring, and they need to get to whatever trouble Brandy(?) is going to cause a bit faster. Although I did like the sequence with her and Raph this week.
- Mary was the reason why I came, but Marshall was the reason why I stayed.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 02:34 pm (UTC)(link)
- I like Nina Cassady.
- As much as I'm going to miss Ed, I love Anthony Anderson too much to not love his character.
- I ship Lupo/Cassady
- I think it was lack of consistency in the writing that screwed Nina over, rather than fan hate. (I just saw her first episode, recently. She was a lot snarkier there than she was in future episode, which made her a lot more fun.)
- As much as I like Cutter, I miss Jack in the courtroom.

Who's replacing him?

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 02:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I think the Miami hate has been stewing for a while. A lot of the things with NY however, are a bit of long term grievances.

[identity profile] defy-n-gravity.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I think we've pretty much bled our opinions of Lost dry, but if you want to do that one for me, go ahead.

My second choice is Conviction.

[identity profile] http://users.livejournal.com/_withoutme/ 2008-07-03 06:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh I'm interested in Supernatural and Heroes.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Or both?

Lost:
- I can't stand Jack. Unless he's [livejournal.com profile] not_a_savage.
- Don't even get me started on Jack/Kate.
- I hate Locke.
- Desmond/Penny >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jack/Kate, or Anyone/Anyone for that matter.
- I think Juliet's gonna die. (And I think Ben's gonna kill her.)
- I haven't seen any piece of "Through the Looking Glass" yet, so don't spoil me.

Conviction:

- I shipped Brian/Christina, but looking back on it, I think I might have preferred Jim/Christina.
- Jim/Alex makes me want to puke.
- I think I'm one of the few people in the fandom who actually really liked Jim Steele. (Mostly because Anson Mount pwns all, even Stephanie March.)
- I like Billy. I would have liked to see more of the stuff with him.
- I enjoy abusing Potter.
- I wish they had given Jess more to do than sleep with Steele and but heads with Alex.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 08:07 pm (UTC)(link)
Supernatural:
- I like Bela more than Ruby.
- I like Bela/Dean.
- I'm kind of happy that Dean went to hell, but that last scene before the finale broke my heart.
- I want Evil!Sam
- I want more Lilith
- I liked Gordon and Hendrickson before it was cool to like Gordon and Hendrickson. I loved Gordon from moment one, man. And Hendrickson was just -- awesome. And I'm so mad that Lilith just blew him up like that.
- I wanted Hunter!Hendrickson.
- But I'll settle for Demon!Hendrickson and Demon!Gordon -- or just at least seeing them both in hell.

Heroes:
- Adam > Sylar.
- But Angela Petrelli pwns all.
- I really, really hope Adam isn't connected to the Petrellis in some way, because I totally ship Adam/Claire. In a futuristic, everyone-is-dead-but-us kind of way.
- I didn't mind Peter/Caitlin.
- I like Elle.
- I didn't like Nathan till Season 2.
- I like it when we get lots of new characters.

[identity profile] qa.livejournal.com 2008-07-03 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I love Kutner too. he rules.

[identity profile] kyranthia.livejournal.com 2008-07-06 08:32 pm (UTC)(link)
How about Torchwood? And if I can have a second choice...Psych.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-06 10:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Torchwood: (No idea if this is unpopular or not, I'm not really in the fandom all that much. But these are my opinions.)

- I don't ship Jack/Gwen. If I ship Gwen with anyone other than Rhys, it's Owen, but I think Gwen and Rhys are just too adorable for words.
- And as a result, I wish that Gwen didn't act like she was in love with Jack all the time.
- I loved Tosh, and I was so upset when they killed her off in the series finale. Same with Owen. (Their last scene together broke my heart.)
- I wish Jack wasn't as serious, and more fun like he is in Doctor Who. Angsty Jack makes me sad.

Psych: (again, I'm not really in the fandom)
- I ship Shawn/Jules
- I love Shawn, but I love Gus more.
- I wish Henry Spencer was my dad.
- Lassiter gets on my nerves sometimes.
- I can't wait to see what goes down with Shawn's mom.

[identity profile] kyranthia.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 07:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Chuck: I'm a sucker for the geek gets the good looking person stories, so I am a Chuck/Sarah 'shipper. Lou seemed kinda bland to me. If Chuck ends up with someone other than Sarah, I'd rather him and Anna hook up.

I wish Casey got more screen time in general.


House: I did kinda like Amber. I thought the Wilson/Amber/House triangle had potential to keep going as a storyline.

I love Kutner. 13 could leave the show and I wouldn't care.

[identity profile] kyranthia.livejournal.com 2008-07-09 07:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Not really much into the Torchwood fandom either. In fact, I never watched Doctor Who.

I like Gwen/Rhys. I'm glad Rhys got to know about Gwen's Torchwood life too. I think that works a lot better than him being in the dark. Yeah, I can see though Gwen/Owen though.

Hopefully Tosh and Owen are gone for good. :( I liked them both.

As for Psych, yeah...not really into the fandom there but I do like the show. I can't wait for the storyline with Shawn's mom.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-10 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Chuck: I'm kind of weird when it comes to my shipping, but I personally don't like it when two characters are shipped together but they're not together from Day One. I like to find the chemistry for myself, so usually in those situations, I go and try to find the ships that no one's looking at, and Lou just jumped at me. Well, that and I think that Rachel Bilson is one of the most adorable actresses around right now, so I'm kinda biased.

House: She was starting to grow on me? Kind of? But I prefer House and Wilson getting along, to Wilson angsting over Amber. Maybe if the writers had kept her around a little while longer I might feel differently, but I dunno.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-10 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
In order for me to get Torchwood I had to watch Doctor Who. Personally I prefer DW (I know a lot of people say it's corny, but I kinda like a bit of corn here and there. I'm a big kid really), but I love Jack enough to make Torchwood work for me.

And I'm glad Rhys got to find out too. It works so much better for them than him being kept in the dark, and the moment where she stood up for him and said she wasn't going to retcon him made me grin like a maniac.

Shawn's mom is going to be fantastic. I really can't wait.

[identity profile] kyranthia.livejournal.com 2008-07-12 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
Chuck: Rachel's cute and all definitely. But Lou just...I dunno. She didn't have much personality to me.

House: I'm actually worried that Wilson will be all angsty next season over Amber. I dunno how he and House will get along. There's an interesting aspect...I mean, yeah in a sorta way, Amber wouldn't have died if wasn't for House, but House almost died to save her...

[identity profile] kyranthia.livejournal.com 2008-07-12 01:09 am (UTC)(link)
With Torchwood, I know I'm not understanding the whole story but it kinda reminds me of the X-Files a bit so I just kinda think of it in that sense. :)

Oh yeah, definitely. I loved Gwen then.

Just a a week away for Psych. *g*

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-12 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
I was never really an X-Files person. And it always felt kind of weird that I was starting in the middle, so I really wanted to go back to the beginning and see where Jack really got started.

I KNOW. I'm so excited. Even though I'll probably have to stay up till like 2 in the morning to catch the West Coast airing because I will be working.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-12 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
I hate that Wilson seems like he's blaming him as much as he is. There wasn't much House could do, really. He was on a bus. It wasn't like he was the one who T-Boned it.

[identity profile] kyranthia.livejournal.com 2008-07-12 07:44 pm (UTC)(link)
If he keeps blaming House, I will think Wilson is going overboard. But I cut him slack for those two episodes since his emotions were all over the place trying to save Amber and mourning her loss.

[identity profile] kyranthia.livejournal.com 2008-07-12 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
I've considered watching the Doctor Who episodes Jack was in. Especially to clarify a lot of stuff from the episodes of Torchwood with Martha. I felt a bit lost there.

2am...ouch.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-12 07:57 pm (UTC)(link)
If anything, I'd definitely watch 109 and 110 (The Empty Child and The Doctor Dances) from season/series one. That was when Jack was first introduced and then he traveled around with them till the season/series finale, which explains the whole not dying thing. It doesn't have Martha, but it's how Jack got his start.

Yeah, but I'm gonna be up late anyway -- The Dark Knight comes out that day, so I'm probably not going to get home till 12:30, so -- yeah.

[identity profile] iluvroadrunner6.livejournal.com 2008-07-12 07:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess I can see that. I really hope they don't drag this out though -- I'll be pretty upset.
