prison for jerks

I very, very rarely feel actual hatred for a character -- as opposed to vague disinterest or just boredom, which are my default reactions to those characters I don't madly adore.

But apparently, when I hate a character? I REALLY REALLY REALLY HATE THEM.

There are only two people who have aroused this level in ire in me lately, and I hate them both SO MUCH it drives me to cursing and talking in all caps and staring at disbelief at my TV screen. I think I need a poll to clear this up, once and for all.

[Poll #656661]

+ Season 5 of Six Feet Under is interesting so far -- and by interesting, I mean "sucks". I've gotten through the first three episodes, and EVERY single plot going on is boring as fuck, and I hate pretty much all the characters, including the ones I used to adore (HI RUTH HI CLAIRE I AM TALKING TO YOU). The only characters saved from this hatred are basically Maya and, most of the time, David. I would quit the show, except I really want to get to the series finale and see how everyone dies, so. The rest of the season it is.

+ I should have put a note on the meme last night letting you all know that I am freakishly anal and indecisive, and so you might not want to hold your breath waiting for my response; it might take me a little while to figure my lists out.

+ Last night I went crazy taking screencaps for liviapenn. Fifty some-odd pictures of Fraser in drag can be found here; enjoy. I didn't bother to prune any of the ones out, so you can also see my elite capping skills in managing, in one scene, to get every single time Paul Gross blinks.

+ So I'm watching "Some Like It Red" last night while I'm doing that capping, and there's this whole exchange between Ray and Fraser:

RAY: Ah, this is crazy. I know I'm in a bind and I need some help but this is going too far.
FRASER: Well I'm sure if the situation were reversed you'd do exactly the same for me.
RAY: Not in a million years.
FRASER: Really?
RAY: I'd never be caught dead in drag.

Which I find incredibly hilarious, first because Fraser just blithely assumes this of Ray -- and then secondly, when you realize Ray TOTALLY WOULD OMG. He would bitch about it, sure, but he would totally do it, just as he ends up doing everything Fraser ever wants, EVER. (Also, that would make good fic. Heh.)

+ Fox, I will be online to watch Twitch City with you in just a little bit! And, dude, we can watch more than two episodes, if you really want. WHATEVER YOU WANT, MY DARLING CANADIAN ADDICT.

So I just finished watching Six Feet Under season 4 episode 5, "That's My Dog", and I find myself with one question left in my mind.

And that question is, What the fucking FUCK was that shit?

Here is my once-a-never updated fandom list, for all of you people's edification. (Dear moireach, now you cannot accuse me of keeping my fandoms from you. So there.)

+ due South is my primary fandom. I mostly write in that.

+ Sometimes I write in Wilby Wonderful,l or Twitch City, or Firefly/Serenity.

+ Shows I am currently watching are Grey's Anatomy, Rome, Deadwood, Six Feet Under (on DVD), and Stargate Atlantis.

+ There are other fandoms I will read on occasion, but I don't talk or think about a lot; those include femslashy teenage girl movies, various RPS, Sports Night, Hard Core Logo, BtVS and Angel, Veronica Mars and Harry Potter.

I just finished the season two finale of Six Feet Under. Dammit, now I'm going to have to go put seasons three and four on the top of my Netflix queue. ( One and a half comments )

So, the other thing I have been doing this week, besides having icon frenzy and reading Meg Cabot novels, has been watching the first season of Six Feet Under. (Please note the perfect timing La Soeur and I have in starting this series the same weekend it goes off the air. We're impressed, too.)
