Do you think Wesley looks like Ed Exley, as played by Guy Pearce, in L.A. Confidential? Nope

What's the thing in lj called, where a post looks like a white page with text, with just a few buttons at the top, and can you always get to that in anyone's journals, or is it only some journals? No clue.

Where did the term whinging come from? Hells if I know.

How bout the term pressies? December 2, 1978 in the Star Trek fandom. (yeah, I have no idea)

Does DB's acting (in say, Bones) still bother people sometimes? Not really. He's not the greatest actor in the world, but he is much improved from BtVS S1 and not as horrific as some people think he is. He's best when he's restrained, and not trying to be too "actor-y"."

Does anyone wished DB shaved his face closer these days (on Bones)? Nope, I looooooove the scruffy look. However, I like the scruffy naked look even more.

Does anyone not think they fucked with Cordy's character in AtS S3? Besides TKDad, I mean? Yes, but not as much as in S4.

Do you guys like Andy Hallett? No opinion on him either way.

Do you guys like Stephanie Romanov? See above.

Has anyone written Cordy/loofah? Anyone? Actually I think someone has because I swear I remember reading something like that.

Do you rewatch eps of BtVS/AtS? How do you do it? Do you just pick out one you liked? Pick out a couple you liked? Watch an arc you liked? Fastforward to the good parts? Rewatch a whole season? Rewatch certain parts for fanfic writing purposes? Yes to all.

How do you make katsu don? No clue.

Why can't I get a job? Perhaps you're looking for that perfect first job? Believe me, it ain't out there. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and take a job you might hate in order to get to a job you'll love.

What ep of anything Whedonverse did you not like much at first, but gained respect for later? "Waiting in the Wings", still not a huge fan of it but there are certain elements of the episode I like now.

Is there one you liked at first but not so much now? Not really.

Are there characters you like better in fanfic than on the actual screen? No

Why is Kara Thrace such a badass? I'm sorry, the correct question should be "Why is Laura Roslin such a badass?" Because she is.

marenfic will argue against this but Roslin pwns everyone, including Kara Thrace.

How could that AoQ guy finally give a "SUPERLATIVE" (yeah, all caps) rating to my least favorite ep in all 7 seasons of BtVS? Dunno. Which episode was it, anyway?

Is there really any episode worse than "Provider"? Maybe "The Bachelor Party"? And why does everyone hate on TGIQ so much? Am I the only person who likes that episode? I think I am.

Does anyone just think "ARCHIE KENNEDY!!!!" every time they see Lee Adama? No, mainly what I think is "Please be naked soon and have more hot panty sex with Starbuck."

Why does everyone hate Waiting In The Wings? I don't hate it necessarily, but it's not my favorite. I have issues with the C/A aspect, mostly because I think it was a way for the writers to give C/A to the pairing's fan without really giving it to them, if that makes sense? Like, it was an easy way out for them--they could point to it and say, "See! We gave you C/A!" without really having much follow through with an actual relationship. Which is odd for me to say because I don't like C/A at all, but I don't like when fans are dicked over.

Am I the only one who doesn't think Angel making goofy faces at baby!Connor was out of character and stupid? Not at all.

Am I the only one who actually kinda likes Justine (as a character)? I kinda like her but she's not one I think of all the time.

Not really. He's not the greatest actor in the world, but he is much improved from BtVS S1 and not as horrific as some people think he is. He's best when he's restrained, and not trying to be too "actor-y"." I think he's great. I think he's better at saying things with just his eyes than some big screen actors will ever be. Trouble is, he doesn't use that often enough, and he's not always on, and when he's *not* on, he's one of the...least good actors I've ever been able to watch on TV. Lostakasha mentioned above that he does a better job when a director has a firm hold on him, and I think that's absolutely true. I think he still just doesn't know what's powerful on screen, and what isn't. Because dude, when he's on, he's on.

Perhaps you're looking for that perfect first job? Believe me, it ain't out there. Sometimes you just have to suck it up and take a job you might hate in order to get to a job you'll love. I sure hope that's it. Because right now I can't even find a job of major suckitude.

I'm sorry, the correct question should be "Why is Laura Roslin such a badass?" Because she is. [info]marenfic will argue against this but Roslin pwns everyone, including Kara Thrace. Dude, everyone on that show is a badass! I just started watching it (I'm 8 eps into S1) and god, I love everyone. Sometimes I just want to shout OMG I love Roslin! Or Adama! Or Lee! But most often, it's Starbuck.

Dunno. Which episode was it, anyway? "Selfless".

Maybe "The Bachelor Party"? And why does everyone hate on TGIQ so much? Am I the only person who likes that episode? I think I am. "The Bachelor Party" is lame, but I don't hate it. I don't hate TGIQ, but I don't like it. However, you're not the only one who likes it. In fact, iirc, I think a2zmom likes it.

Which is odd for me to say because I don't like C/A at all, but I don't like when fans are dicked over. That's really interesting. I don't like C/A either, but not so much the idea of it as the way it was handled. Still, most of the C/A in WitW isn't bothersome to me because it was a spell and not really them talking (if Cordy REALLY ever said, "I'm only alive when you're inside me" to Angel I would...I don't know what I'd do, but it'd be something worse than everything else the did to fuck up Cordy's character in S3). But as you say, that really cheats out the C/A fans. Then again, Lostakasha is a C/A fan, and she says she liked it!
