Two Unpopular Fandom Opinions...

starvinbohemianUnpopular 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 love Simon, but (again) there wasn't really time to develop his relationship with Kaylee. Why were they even interested in each other, aside from the reason that Simon himself laid out (meaning that they're the only two options for each other left over)? Of course, that was blatantly ignoring Jayne, but whatever. XD If the show had progressed, I don't see them as lasting.
