favorite season finales?

[rubbertea]

may's the month of finales, right? so i figured it would make a good thread. anyway, here's my top five:

#1: lost, season 3, through the looking glass: "we have to go back"! not penny's boat! this one had everything. "holy shit" moments, emotional turmoil, memorable one-liners, major character death (and how!), heartwrenching music... the finale to end all finales.

#2: person of interest, season 3, deus ex machina: a big pile of classic nolan action, smart dialogue that touches on hot and sensitive topics, and very important changes for the way the show works. also, an ending that tears your heart out and stomps on it, making great use of radiohead's 'exit music (for a film)'.

#3: breaking bad, season 4, face off: "i am the one who knocks!" what an ending. the best example of a wham episode i can think of. the whole thing just escalates into an explosion of tension and violence. it's just awesome.

#4: breaking bad, season 5, felina: now that's how you tie up loose ends. take note, showrunners! (*cough*darlton*cough*)

#5: house, season 4, wilson's heart: this show isn't even one of my favorites (though i do like it), but this episode, along with the one before it, still managed to break my heart. even though i was satisfied with the ending of the show, this would've made a great series finale.

So trigger warnings finally made the New York Times

[feotakahari]

It's probably the most passive-aggressive article I've seen in the NYT, and that's saying something given how much value they place on pretending to be balanced even when they oppose something. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/18/us/warning-the-literary-canon-could-make-students-squirm.html To be fair, a lot of the cases mentioned sound pretty ridiculous, but I sympathize with the rape survivor who wanted her teacher to give a warning before showing the class a graphic rape scene.

Oatmeal time

[neonlovechicken]

So, I bought some oats for the first time today and made my very own oatmeal/porridge. I know this must be very relevant to all of you so I thought I'd share.

Serious question though. Since in my country oatmeal isn't really a thing, I was wondering if any of you know of any cool recipes? I just cooked it with half milk/half water and salt, then added yogurt and honey.

I must say it tasted very good, but I'm wondering now what I can do with it!

Fandom dreams

[(Anonymous)]

I dreamed a popular manga and anime turned out to be based on a little-known series of novels from the eighties that I found copies of in my parents' basement.

The Worst 'Expanded Universe'-related material for your fandom

[ex_mek82]

Inspired by this thread from the Star Wars secret the other day, I'm curious to know what y'all consider to be the worst (if not the absolute worst) spin-off/expanded universe material for your fandom. Includes video games, movies, comics, books, et al.

I'm just gonna go right out and say for the 'Mass Effect' series? 'Mass Effect: Deception'. Aside from some really bad lore-related errors, there were plenty of extremely offensive bits (a character with autism is pretty much "cured" of it, a firmly-established-as-gay male character suddenly is interested in the very much female asari), Kai Leng peeing in vases and stealing Anderson's cereal, characters getting killed by sharpened toothbrushes... it was all around bad. The BioWare forums even made a massive Google Document that had every single error documented. That's how reviled it was.

What say you?

Rant about your fandoms, yo!

[blunderbuss]

Something about your fandom pissing you off? Be a whiny asshole about it here.

There's a lot of slash in my fandom and that's fine. What is NOT fine is that one specific female character is constantly being used as the 'beard' for some self-repressed guy and is then treated as an obstacle for the slash OTP. That's bad enough, but I keep seeing her being treated with such contempt for her feelings and dignity it makes me wanna strangle these little whelps who write it.

Thing is, if they wrote a story about a tragic situation where a closested gay man is trapped between a woman he married and a man he loves, and all three were written sympathetically, I could deal with that. But noooo, apparently emotional/sexual cheating and abandonment/divorce is totally okay! Out the way, woman, gay sex must happen!

I really really want to call out the fandom about this but I don't know how without totally alienating myself.

The most evil thing you've ever done or experienced

This might end up being a pretty triggery thread so warnings all around!

Fandom history

[(Anonymous)]

What were the earliest modern fandoms? I don't mean fandom in the sense of Sherlock Holmes and the like, I mean fandom in the current sense of discussion and fanfic. So basically, zine fandom. I know Star Trek TOS was a big one, but what else? And is there a place online to find it?

Favorite fs userpics

[(Anonymous)]

I like nyxelestia's flower icon. It's simple and pretty. I have only just realized that kaijinscendre's Michael Fassbender icon is actually a gif and now I can't stop looking at it.

Pairings you think are sexy

[(Anonymous)]

What pairings do you like to fantasize about, and like reading PWP/smut for? (versus just skimming the smut in a fic)

[(Anonymous)]

What was the last thing you made with your hands? It doesn't matter if it was a batch of cookies, or a drawing or a house of cards. If you created something from scratch with your hands, it counts.

And do you consider yourself a creative person?

Games thread!

Re: So trigger warnings finally made the New York Times

[(Anonymous)]

Uh...actually...as long as they also include thoughts and comments from the opposing side, they ARE being balanced. You're seriously assigning motivation that probably doesn't exist.
