It's the fandom version of peer pressure!

Because I am being spammy and a sheep and apparently bored, and all the cool kids are doing them, therefore I must be a fandom meme whore too:

MEME #1: Name a character from one of my fandoms, and I will tell you my top 3 moments or scenes (or at least 3 of my favorites) of them.

MEME #2: Name a fandom, and I'll give you the scoop on at least three of my unpopular opinions related to that fandom.

Blair Waldorf

Character: Blair Waldorf (hard to pick, all Blair scenes are the best)

1. Her dream sequences. They are always so creative and utterly adorable because, well, we know that Blair considers her life to be like a movie or a fairytale so of course her dreams have to mimic that, particularly anything involving Audrey Hepburn. :)

2. That scene with her in the hospital as she and Jenny break Eric out was awesome. It says a lot about her value to Eric, particularly later on in the season when she doesn't reveal about him being gay until he gave the okay to blackmail Asher.

3a. When she calls Serena during Thanksgiving after she turns back to her eating disorder, and how even with their dysfunctional family matters she and Serena and the rest of the gang just have some plain ordinary junk fast food elsewhere trying to escape it all. I think that it was ultimately sweet.

3b. In addition to that sweetness, I like any kind of interaction between Blair and Dan because it is very rare you see them communing in a civil manner or, God forbid, scheming together. I think those are the best. I even liked it when she was asking advice from him about Chuck, adorable. and yes I have this thing where I would love to see Blair/Dan happen on the show at some point, they are my guilty pairing don't judge me okay?


Unpopular Opinions: Doctor Who

1. I loved Rose. I loved Martha. I loved Donna. There is no one companion better than the other, so fandom can suck it. In fact, I would love there to be a spin off with all the companions as they have adventures of their own, much like Sarah Jane. Where Jack Harkness can appear every once in a while, because that would be fun. :D

2. I prefer Nine over Ten. I think David Tennant is vastly overrated. C'mon, where's the Christopher Eccleston love?

3. The new Doctor does not appeal to me, at all. I don't see him as attractive and he looks older instead of younger as people proclaim him to be. However, the new companion? She's hot. But I doubt I'll watch it.

Blair has AWESOME dream sequences and one of the reasons I loved her so much in the books was her love of/obsession with Audrey Hepburn.

Dude, that show needs more Eric. And more scenes with Blair and Eric because he's so her surrogate little brother (will NOT go into differences from books now... will NOT).


Doctor Who:
I was devastated about the change in casting after 9. I LOVED 9, but I think David Tennant's sheer LOVE of the role is why everyone likes him so much.

Ah, I am not a Martha fan. Donna = awesome.


OMFG, I'm not liking him (11) at all either, but I'm not making final judgements until I've seen a few episodes.

Blair is just this fairytale queen with her idealistic dreams, it's too cute. And yes, there should be more Eric and more Eric and Blair scenes.

I fell in love with Nine, he was first exposure to the entire DW fandom after all and I didn't quite understand the regenerative thing at that time so I was majorly pissed off that we would no longer see Christopher in that role.

but I think David Tennant's sheer LOVE of the role is why everyone likes him so much.

Or that the majority of the fandom thinks he's "omg liek sooo hawt" (as that's what I see/read/hear everywhere when there's mentioning of David or Doctor Who).
