I totally agree with your last paragraph. I'm upset at JJ leaving, but I'm not going to give up on a show just because one actor/actress leaves. And a lot of the fans' attitude towards the show now is really starting to piss me off...it doesn't help that I actually like Ashley Seaver and want to talk about her, but can't due to fears about backlash from some of the other fans.

As for the spin-off, I'm definitely going to give it a try.

I agree about Seaver! It's funny because I totally hated the idea of her at first, and I still kind of make fun of her character and think she's unrealistic... HOWEVER, I do kind of like her. And Rachel Nichols is her own best PR person on Twitter, I gotta say. But I totally agree that it's super unpopular to like her.

ALTHOUGH, a few days ago there was a post here about someone starting a petition to remove her and they got so many negative comments about it that the post was deleted. So perhaps the atmosphere has shifted and it's now acceptable to say that you like her lol.

I'm...glad I missed that post, then. Otherwise I'd be really pissed at fandom right now. I was iffy about her character at first too, but once I saw her on-screen, I really liked her.

Friends, then? Since I'd really like someone to talk to about Ashley and another CM fan is always welcome. Oh, just to warn you, I ship her with someone.

I've also noticed the atmosphere has changed in the fandom since the news of JJ leaving broke. I wasn't around when Elle or Gideon left, so I'm not sure if the fan's reaction is the same or not, but I miss what it used to be like. Hopefully things will settle down soon.

*high fives you* I must admit that I stopped watching Caprica around episode 6-7 (staying up to midnight to see a new episode was a bit much for me), but yes, you may hug me. And we're also both Hawaii Five-0 fans. And House fans. And Star Trek TOS fans. YAY.

I'm still on the fence about shipping her with Reid, but I'm totally digging the Rossi/Seaver pairing. Possibly because I have a thing for mentor/protegee relationship, and those two do have a history with each other...see my journal for some fic, if you want.

Ha, our opinions about Elle and Gideon are reversed. I never cared too much for Elle, but I grew rather fond of Gideon, after a fashion. Which of course lead to me disliking Rossi at first, but I warmed up to him once he became less of a jerk.

I'm getting annoyed at how often the new shows I pick up end up cancelled. Ironically, I dropped V after the first four episodes, and it happened to get a second season. -_- I don't mind the new direction House is taking, although I'm not overly fond of Thirteen's replacement.

Do it! I don't feel much about her one way or the other, but I'd love to read meta about her.

Thanks! I'll try to think up something to start a discussion, then.

[ryuutchi.livejournal.com]

Talk about her! I'll support you! :D

[moon-blitz.livejournal.com]

Thanks! This is random, but what is your icon from? It looks rather interesting.

[ryuutchi.livejournal.com]

It's from one of the Avengers Fairy Tales comics. They did one about Alice in Wonderland, starring the Young Avengers.

You definitely have a point. I'm just so disappointed that the show has become so.... disappointing lol for so many fans. I agree with you and moon_blitz that it's not very fun when it's a constant bitchfest. And that's not to say that people can't express their opinions (and I'm certainly know to partake in the bitchfest lol) but sometimes it's like... if all we do is complain about how shitty this is, why are we even bothering anymore? It's clearly not fun.

I'll be 100% honest, if Reid/MGG ever leaves the show or is given some kind of debilitating illness where he has to take a back seat, I'm done. He is the reason I watch the show, and I won't lie about it. I like all the other characters too, but without Reid, I'm not interested.
