Two Unpopular Fandom Opinions...

[starvinbohemian]

Unpopular Fandom Opinion #1: I ship Jack/Gwen in Torchwood. I actually hate Jack/Ianto. Sorry, ya'll, but it doesn't appeal to me at all. I don't get the massive love. Gwen's my favorite character, so it disturbs me greatly to hear that fandom despises her. I have to believe that it's because she's actually viewed as a threat to Jack/Ianto, and the fangirls are just hissing at the competition.


Unpopular Fandom Opinion #2: I think Serenity sucks. Firefly is amazing, but I have so many issues with the movie. And I hardcore ship Jayne/Kaylee. Simon/Kaylee is boring. In fact, all of the canon ships are boring (save Zoe/Wash), but I (again) have to believe it's because the show was prematurely canceled before Joss had time to force his characters to be more interesting via emotional torture as he did in Angel and anything else he ever made. Oh, Joss. Also, I'm beyond disturbed to see so much romantic/sexual River fic. She's child-like and insane! I apologize to anyone who ships River/Whoever, but it really creeps me out. Though, to demonstrate my own hypocrisy, I would totally get shipping River/Simon (but it's possibly because I've been on a genius!incestuous!siblings kick due to Ender's Game).

I also prefer Jack/Gwen in Torchwood XD But I don't really 'ship' them. It's only a 'preference' XD and Jack*Dr >> Jack*Ianto for male*male XD
Like, as much as I love Rose in Dr Who, I prefer Martha ('cause she's kind of awesome you know :p). That doesn't mean I ship her with the Dr though :p

Yeah, I guess I don't "ship" if that implies an active effort to read or write fic/meta. But I always liked the idea of them, and it's interesting to see it actually getting explored.

Aw, Martha. The other unfortunate soul fandom turned on. :(

Yeah I heard the fandom hates her, which is really sad because she's reallyyyyyyy awesome. As much as I loved Rose, can you imagine her going all around the world, all alone, during one year, to spread the word? D: 'Cause really, that was not her type.
So yeah. Martha is a freaking awesome heroine and all my friends and I love her. I will watch Torchwood just to see her again. That is how much I love her.
Also, I want to see her interactions with the Dr again. Next time they meet.

Hehe. I actually live with both a Pro-Martha person and a Pro-Rose person. It's a, um, interesting place to be. ;) I'm behind on the Torchwood episodes, so I'm not sure if they've actually aired the Martha episodes yet, but I'm really curious to see how she's going to fit in there.

Torchwood is not going to air in France anytime soon, although I might push my bf so we can watch the eps earlier XD I also want to watch the Christmas episode (not going to wait up until next year x______x).

And also, lulz, I love both Rose and Martha. You can live with liking both characters, OMG! I love Martha more because well... I think that overall, she's a better character than Rose. More mature, even if she has her childish antics (with her jealousy for Rose for example). And she was able to put some sense in the Dr, who needed it.
Also, her them is ♥
