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.

Character: Echo/Caroline

1. My favorite scene with Caroline, which probably would go underneath an unpopular opinion because it seems most of the Dollhouse fandom dislikes her, would have to be the flashbacks when she was pursuing her activism against Rossum. It gave us a glimpse into who she was and how the Dollhouse tracked her down, and I think I would like to see more of Caroline in flashbacks because even with these glimpses we hardly know anything else about her other than her humans/animal rights activism and that she managed to run from Rossum/the Dollhouse for about two years.

2. My first favorite Echo scene would have to be the beginning montage of "A Spy in the House of Love" -- we were given a look at how Echo views her surroundings and seeing everything through her eyes, and at how self-aware she's becoming as opposed to the other Dolls. She's also figuring things out and piecing them together to make such conclusions herself even if she doesn't quite understand all the facts. I find this progression of Echo's evolving state very intriguing, and hope to see more in season two, particularly now since with the evolution of Super!Echo in "Omega" where she became imprinted with all the imprinted personalities and even more self-aware than ever before. I loved that whole aspect of that episode, actually, and the ending giving us the idea that Echo is still fully aware and will become her own person in later episodes.

3. I love Echo's friendship with Sierra and Victor. I think it's sweet and adorable how she looks out for them, and I'm really hoping that they are still in that friendship next season, because they essentially are the Dollhouse Scoobies as far as I'm concerned.


Unpopular Opinions: Angel

1. I think Angel/Cordy would've been sweet had they gone in that direction completely. I mean, Angel/Buffy will always be my OTP but there was a cuteness factor to them I thought. But then they made Cordelia of the Higher Power and then ultimately evil going with Connor and then in a coma, yeah. Not so much liking that aspect of her character, but overall I really loved Cordelia's involvement in the show regardless of how it turned out in the end. I loved her snark on Buffy and she brought that over into Angel for the first couple of seasons, but she had her own development. It was just sad that she had to die, y'know?

2. I like broody!Angel as much as the next person, though I liked how they switched it up in the later seasons with him not being so brooding and depressing, adding in some comedy with him for a change. That of course transcended into me loving him as Booth in Bones because he wasn't the tall, dark brooding vampire hiding in the shadows all the time. Heh.

3. I prefer dark!Wesley than wimpy!Wesley. Compare him from when he was first introduced in Buffy to later in Angel, when he becomes the more brooding character out of them all. Interesting transition, no?
