tkp: So, I get why I watch Bones. I get why Mom watches Bones. Dad, why do you watch Bones?
tkDad: For the pretty--David Boreanaz!
tkMom: Omg! Slash! Squick, squick! Run away!
(tkMeta: Why we slash.
tkFandom: Slash, homosexuality, homophobia, pretty, and trauma.
tkFanom_wank: tkp and tkMom are arguing about sexuality! *takes pictures*)
tkMom: Alright, ok, Angelina Jolie is hot.
tkp: Angelina is peace. No wonder she's a politician.
tkDad: (stuck on Dave) Yeah, and besides being all hot, he seems cool. Like, I don't know what it is about him, but I think he's a cool guy.
(time passes)
tkMom: If they want us to think she's so clueless about pop culture how come she dresses so damn trendy?
(tkFic: *Brennan bashing*
*Goodman!voice smut*
*Brennan/Angela* because ZOMG, it should be written)
*coughs*

violaclaire had an interesting question about conscience in Jossverse, which I felt I couldn't answer adequately because I know nothing about sociology. I actually know very little about anything, despite the fact that I got a BA and thought I was smart.

Did y'all know that "TKP" are the initials of the Turkist Communist Party? (Türkiye Komünist Partisi (TKP)). Yes, friends, I am on wiki, like any famous fan.
A. Have you read an Arbiter of Quality review?angelbuffy0 was linking them for a while.
AoQ has not seen and is not spoiled for BtVS, and he's been making his way through each ep one at a time and is reviewing as he goes. He does NOT come at it from the POV of a fan who is already in love with the show, but someone who seems skeptical that the show is any good. As a result, his reviews are often critical. Sometimes he's right--yeah, Bad Eggs IS a lame ep. Sometimes it's vaguely upsetting--I hate his Cordy and X/C bashing. Sometimes you get a chance to feel superior--what, you think Amy-the-rat is a dropped thread? Just wait! Sometimes it's reaffirming--damn skippy "Innocence" is a badass ep! Most of the time, it's just plain fun to watch someone learn what BtVS is all about, how it works on you, how the characters grow and change. I don't agree with about half of his reviews, but I feel myself falling in love with BtVS again every time I read his opinion, whether it's positive or not. Also, he's pretty clever and funny (though ugh! He does take the Cordy bashing too far for his jokes about her to be pleasant.)
B. Meanwhile, in case you missed it, a bit agorahirah informed fandom that these titles are off limits. Heed her or SPIKE WILL HUNT YOU DOWN. IN MANNER OF KEN DOLLS AND OZ. watch out the little people can be scary. Mwwahahahahahah!

But I can recite a lot of Green Eggs and Ham.
I love your parents!

I will not eat them Sam I Am! And I love your icon!
I love them too!

I agree with that, but I it's not something I consider to be a problem with the character, rather I see it as the writers handling that character poorly by attempting to turn "I don't know what that means" into a catchphrase (something they appear to have mostly given up on in recent eps, thank God). I like Brennan. Mostly because I just like her, partly because of the whole disconnected-from-society solidarity thing, but also because I've always loved the whole Anthropology/Archeology/All-Things-Morbid-and-Creepifying, so have the whole envy-turned-admiration going on (I want to be her, dammit! Well, actually I want to be Goodman, but let's not get picky).
I've always been more of a Lorax fan, myself.

Yeah, it's possible to dislike what the writers do with a character while still giving the character itself the benefit of the doubt, I guess. I se what you mean.
