misscamCam's Ten Unpopular Fannish Opinions
(On CSI and Doctor Who)
CSI
1. You don't have to hate Catherine just because you love Sara, or vice versa. It is entirely possible to like both, and find neither the BEST THING EVER.
2. I don't actually like Alter Boys that much.
3. I don't think CSI will become unwatchable the moment William Petersen is no longer in it.
4. Gil Grissom lookswise doesn't no anything for me. His brain, however, does.
5. Sara isn't the only right one for Grissom. I believe more than one person can be right for you, and I don't think Sara is a perfect fit. That doesn't mean he can't genuinely love or grow to love her.
6. A ship doesn't need a bloody cutesy name. Grillows, Sandle, SoNic, Gofia? Gag me with a spoon.
7. Nick isn't hot. Nick is blah.
8. Not delivering GSR will not be a betrayal against the characters or the show itself.
9. CM isn't the devil.
10. I don't think there is some big revelation or explanation that will suddenly explain Grissom. Sometimes, we just are what we are, made so by a million little influences.
Doctor Who (mostly New Series)
1. The Doctor ain't asexual. (Hey, it is an opinion that sends many fanboys into spin!)
2. Jack isn't walking sex. I'm sorry, he doesn't do much for me.
3. I don't actually find Eight that hot. Even if he snogs fairly enthusiastically.
4. The OT3 of Jack/Rose/Doctor wouldn't be a nice, even threeway romance. It would come with troubles and uneven power dynamics and potentially be a right mess. (Go AWAY, plotbunnies!)
5. I don't think "The Long Game" is pants. I actually kind of like it, Editor and Adam and bondage and all.
6. I don't get the Four!scarf fetish. The only thing the scarf does is remind me spring is slow and winter cold.
7. I don't get the Ten!glasses fetish. Heck, I'd do Tennant, but the glasses don't increase or descrease my willingness to do him.
8. The Doctor taking up arms isn't omg!wrong. Sure, I love the fact that the Doctor doesn't carry guns and hates them, but he's never been afraid to use his weapons - time, words and other people. He is not a pacifist.
9. I think both Harriet and the Doctor had good points in TCI and find myself unable to side with either. Murder and defence sometimes walk in the same grey zone.
10. One is attractive in a grumpy, bitchin' kind of way. I know, I know. Sick.
Sioux president wants clinic that preforms abortion on the reservation after South Dakota banned the procedure
I like this woman. I do not like Bill Napoli and his "simple rape" shouldn't get the option of abortion ideas. (RAGE! A rape is a rape, utter dickweed. That is what is to it, now shut up.) I therefore give a hearty "kick his ass!". (And no, not because I want women to have abortions, but because I want women to have the bloody choice themselves. Bill Napoli and his notions of rape can stay the sod away from my uterus and anyone else's.) No doubt her decision will be hugely unpopular with certain rabid, millitant parts of the pro-life crowd.
If you wish to support this move, some details on how to have been posted here
And for the idiot of the day, I give you - "I good at English! Spellcheck tells me so, after I've added *every bloody misspelled word* to it!"

Yeah. Gotta be careful of those damn six year olds. I can see why the police are so afraid that she'll attack them again...

Date: 2006-03-23 03:23 pm (UTC)Oh, how shocking! You know, I'm decidedly against the total banishment of abortion - should woman in trouble start to jump from haybarns again? - but the fact that a Reverend finds the simple fact that someone is "pro-life" shocking is something I find shocking. I'm really sorry.

I don't think "The Long Game" is pants. I actually kind of like it, Editor and Adam and bondage and all.
I like the long game, well I like it apart from Adam he's just pants.

Good, more for me!Well, that's ok, we can disagree. ;)The OT3 of Jack/Rose/Doctor wouldn't be a nice, even threeway romance. It would come with troubles and uneven power dynamics and potentially be a right mess.
::licks lips:: Yes, it would be. Rowr.
I don't think "The Long Game" is pants. I actually kind of like it, Editor and Adam and bondage and all.
I liked "The Long Game", actually. I loved the little snarky, "He's your boyfriend." "Not anymore." And Simon Pegg! Woot! I'm just hoping Adam shows up in a future ep, having caused havoc with that brain implant. :)
The Doctor taking up arms isn't omg!wrong.
Hmm. I like that the Doctor isn't comfortable taking up arms. He'll do it, in a pinch, but he'd really rather find another way (especially if he's my doctor, number 5). :)

Date: 2006-03-23 03:45 pm (UTC)You're in the middle. Like most people.
I'm very firmly "pro-choice". As in, it should be no one else's choice but the woman (preferably in consultation with her partner, but she has primacy in the decision). I've actually had an abortion...and some misscarriages, and three kids. This isn't easy - it's a health risk, and it's hard work, and it's a lifetime committment, and I damn sure don't want people giving birth who don't want to be parents.
Part of the real problem I see with most 'anti-abortion' guys is that they think of children as a 'punishment'. Their rhetoric is very anti-child, as far as I'm concerned, full of "you played, now you have to take your medicine". Yeah, way to give children loving homes. (Not to mention that they never want to be responsible for caring for the children once they're born, but that's a whole 'nuther rant.)
I spent all of the '80s attending abortion rights rallies and providing protection for women at clinics. I have to say that my opinion of anti-abortion folks is that they're violent, hate-filled misogynists who are obsessed unhealthily by the sex lives of women they can't control. I know of one anti-abortion supporter who has put her money where her mouth is and adopted a bunch of 'hard-to-place' kids. Unsurprisingly, she's not violent or hateful, and she has lots of help to offer women who want to look at other options. She's the only one I've ever met who I found to be a kind human being truly concerned with life.

Date: 2006-03-23 04:31 pm (UTC)Or a confusing one. It took me ages to work out Snarry = Snape/Harry, and then when poking around Firefly, I got even more confused when I saw someone say they shipped 'CSI'. I found out eventually that in the Firefly fandom, CSI (Simon/River) stands for Crazy Space Incest. x_x
