(Anonymous) 2018-02-07 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)I agree, fandom has changed for sure. I'm rather pleased that the most shrill and insufferable of the tin-hatters don't seem to be around any more, or at least - are on my radar any more.
Some fans *really* liked Amelia! I did not get it. From the moment she was all up in Sam's face, pestering him to adopt/take care of the dog he hit (a random guy who ran over a dog and brought him to the vet - sure, he's a perfect candidate to heckle into becoming a pet owner), I did not like her. Her/their whole arc was weird, and i'm inclined to believe it was a bit of a story-line gone wrong, as the whispers go. It was just odd. But yeah - a surprising number of people really thought she was great.
I really felt they were. When Dean shoved a whole, desiccated hand into the inner pocket of his tux jacket and, a bit later, finds it was pick-pocketed? No way. Something that big and unweildy isn't going to slip out of an *inside pocket* without someone noticing, particularly as it was wrapped up, if i remember correctly, a blue silk handkerchief. A jacket he did *not* take off and lay over a tombstone, btw. I just felt they let them be way too 'guys distracted by pretty girl' when she was in an episode; such a boring trope.
I liked Bela, but could have done without her super-tragic and rather over the top backstory. She could have been a character like Garth, that we see every now and again, with special knowledge or a line on something really unique. Meh.
I agree with your assessment of both actors and the character. I didn't think either one of them were all that awesome, and they weren't *remotely* like each other re: characterization. But then, I disliked the whole concept of the character *so much*....
It's funny, 'original' Meg and the Meg we got later weren't a whole lot alike, either, but i absolutely loved Meg, and particularly adored Rachel Miner in the role. (And Jared playing her, as well....)
