Some people seem to have a problem with the concept of 'to each their own' - like, it's apparently impossible for those people to accept the fact that no, not everyone shares their tastes, yes, diversity is the spice of life and no again, it's not a crime if other readers like to read different characterisation than the one you believe in - it's actually not even worthy of discussion, which is why even this will be quick.
But speaking of those people? Remember how I sometimes love reading jerk!Jim fics? Well I just realised the errors of my way. I've been evil and mean all this time I've been *gasp* demonising his character and I've also promoted cruelty and abuse. I'm so ashamed!!
...
No wait... now that I think of it, that's a lie. Ooops, sorry, my bad [/sarcasm]
Why is it that people feel the need to diss other readers for having different tastes in stories? I absolutely love Jim - I do, butquite often now and then I love reading a story where he's being a fucking jerk to Blair. And sorry to disappoint but it doesn't mean that I hate his character. It just means that now and then, I like to have my Sentinel in a different flavour. And if stories where jerk!Blair don't work for me? Is because that's not the kind of dynamic I like to read, period - nothing more. No evil plan to demonise Jim Ellison and no conspiracy to destroy his character.
I never understand the fuss about all those things. And even if some readers do think jerk!Jim is the way to go, so what? *shrug*
On a different note now - they started airing Haunted again last night and something very wrong happened.
See, I wasn't impressed at all with that show when it first aired here and I distinctly remember mentioning that Frank Taylor was pretty dull and had no charisma. I remember saying that... but then, I watched it a bit differently yesterday because damn Frank is, you know, Jack - the Jack I started to find a bit more interesting in Lost, the Jack that was cool to Charlie and suddenly I was, like, hey maybe Frank isn't so dull after all what if I took a peek? And I told you it was wrong, but I couldn't help it.
Then he did it... he started to cry and it reminded me of White Rabbit and Matthew Fox cries so well, honestly and I wanted to cry with him and everything. I'm afraid I could start to get curious about Haunted and start watching it now and then.. just because Matthew Cries So Beautifully Fox plays in it - and this is just WRONG. Besides? It's at the same time as L&O:CI and there's no way I'll miss it - even if it's a rerun as well.
Lost broke my brain, man!
