FIVE favorite fandoms:
01. Firefly
02. Jem
03. X-Men
04. (don’t have another one)
05. (don’t have another one)
FOUR favorite ships from your fandoms:
01. Zoe/Wash
02. Simon/Kaylee
03. A tie: Rogue/Gambit and Storm/Wolverine (This is just my way of getting more than four ships in here. And while I’m cheating, I can also mention that I love Jean/Cyclops too)
04. Stormer/Roxy (though there are several other Misfit combinations I like, and I also like the idea of Stormer and Roxy being “just” good friends too)
THREE things from your fandoms you wish were real:
01. I wish the Misfits were a real band. I would so love to see them in concert.
02. I wish the X-men really existed but there were no “evil” mutants and instead the X-men could just work on solving the problems that the world has now (they could be similar to UN peacekeeping troops, except they could actually be, you know, effective. The gang-rapists in Congo and Sudan and the whole Taliban wouldn’t stand a chance now!)
03. As much as I love Firefly, I really don’t wish for anything in that ‘verse to be real! It’s pointless to even wish for the characters to be real because so much of what shapes them and their interactions has to do with the miserable ‘verse and circumstances they live in.
TWO things you hate/dislike about your current favorite fandoms:
Just two?? How the hell am I supposed to get this down to just two?
01. What happened to Wash in the damn movie
02. The way the whole rest of the Serenity movie was so different from the TV series (e.g. – the Tams ready to leave the crew, the rest of the crew so ready to let them go, Book having already departed, just the fact that the crew had been definitely moving in a functional direction in the TV series, only to appear wildly dysfunctional for the movie.)
(Honorable mentions: In Jem, the fact that the Misfits were pushed aside in favor of the Stingers and that there’s so much about the Misfits we never learn [how they get together in the first place, more about Roxy and Stormer’s backgrounds, etc]. In X-men, I take back the compliments I paid to the third movie and I now recognize it as a disaster. But I’m primarily a fan of the animated series, and I liked it a lot except for what happened to Xavier at the end).
ONE fandom you wish you were into:
01. Babylon 5. I suppose all I need to do is buy the DVDs

Date: 2007-05-13 11:27 am (UTC)Oh, I'm in total denial myself. Months ago I posted something, before you joined my f-list. I wrote that I was watching the movie a 4th time, with my girlfriend. At some point during the final standoff with the Reavers, right before River turns all Slayer on them, I said to Doris, "I can't believe that with everything they went through in this movie, they all survive."
Doris just turns and looks at me. I went "oops". I have so completely convinced myself that Wash didn't die that it doesn't register at all.

You know, "Winning is Everything" isn't even one of the Misfits' best songs. They have many that are a lot better.

From the menu on the top, click on "Lyric Database", then select Misfits. You'll see a listing of all their song titles there.
The Misfits...
