General comments:

OK fandom secrets. Y'all got me started on this Mark Watches Buffy thing, and I have to say, he's not as irritating as some of you made it seem. His commenters OTH, oh my god, some of them are absolutely ridiculous.

Take for example, the person who just said Willow saying Buffy was "the real Slayer" was racist? And could never seem to explain why, beyond her own assertion that if Kendra had been white, there would have been no need for Willow to say it? Ridic.

Which brings me to my point. Am I the only one sick to death of all the times "Unfortunate Implications!" gets trotted out? Because, yes, some things DO have unfortunate implications, but I can't help but feel like a lot of what goes on is less about what's being implied and more about what's being inferred. And THAT'S on the person doing the inferring and rushing to judgment (seemingly because they're too damn miserable to see anything but the worst in everything).

Here's an example of an unfortunate implication: Xander's wounded pride over Buffy getting rid of Larry in Halloween followed by his own gratified takedown of Pirate!Larry later in the episode has the unfortunate implication that fighting, outcome bedamned, is a rite of passage for "real men" (and anyone who chooses not to fight isn't a man). I'm sure there are also many unfortunate implications regarding women, but this is the first thing that came to mind (omg, does that make me sexist?!)

Here's an example of an unfortunate inferrence: Buffy encourages Kendra to fly back to wherever on a plane -- in a seat, while watching and eating peanuts. The message MUST be that Kendra is some sort of backwater idiot because she's a foreign person of color! Racist!

What really happened: Kendra, who has never had much time for fun, arrived stowed away in a cargo hold because she wanted to keep her identity secret. Buffy encourages her to relax a little. The implication? Kendra's wound a little tight, and probably doesn't need to be. Does that have anything to do with her nationality? No. Her race? No. Her upbringing? Yeah. But by no means did the rest of the episode imply she was some severely messed up person because of it. She's just...wound a little tight...and just about everybody could use a person to point things out like that from time to time.

Thoughts?

I can't stand them because they dogpile on people who use the word "crazy" without even explaining why they don't want people to use it. I could see if they were using "retarded," but "crazy"? Really? I get that there are people who take issue with it, but come on.

I'm fucking surprised anyone in this place has friends IRL because everyone is so fucking sensitive and quick to take shit out of context and blow shit up to epic (ridiculous) proportions. You can't say anything without someone taking it the wrong way and jumping on your shit like they've never had it before.

Every little fucking thing makes you a bigot, anti-feminist, racist, sexist, misogynistic, misandrist[ic], misanthropic, homophobic, a closet pedophile, a rape supporter/apologist, a blasphemer/satanist,pro-murder, anti-American (or wherever the fuck), anti-choice, anti-mentally retarded people, ageist, other -ists, discriminator of everything you can think of, anti fucking Oprah... fucking fuck, man.

Sometimes people read waaaay too much into things.

Original commenter:

Dudes! I just watched the Xander love-spell episode, and I loved that Mark loved it. Then some commenter had t go shit all over it with her indignant rage and I remember again why I always mean to skip the comments. And I was bummed Mark never responded.

I didn't want him to change his mind or to try to make her change hers, but I have this overwhelming sense that this is one of those "Oh, I'm not a girl so I'm not allowed to talk about what the girls are talking about!" bullshit. And THAT I hate.

can someone rec me a really great tv show to marathon? i've had millions of things on my radar for the longest time, but there are so many now that it's hard to just pick one and go with it. i don't care about how many seasons it's got, or what genre it is, or how long ago it aired or how new it is or if it's critically acclaimed or not. just as long as you like it and think i should like it too :)

Journeyman.

Disney's Fillmore.

[barnabys-bane.livejournal.com]

If you like animation, I highly recommend Avatar: The Last Airbender. I marathoned it somewhat recently, and I fell in love with it all over again.

Due South?

I've just started Once Upon A Time. I'm only up to episode 7, but it doesn't suck so far!

I am in love with White Collar, and have just started to watch Psych. Both have amazing characters with decent plot-lines.

If you haven't watched yet, these are all awesome: Arrested Development, The IT Crowd, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia (really crass but the humor grows on you), and Community.


Sorry...these are probably too many suggestions and doesn't actually help your problem in choosing predicament, but there you go anyway.

I marathoned Community this October and it's so hilarious and easy to get through. Currently I'm doing an out of order Criminal Minds marathon, based off of some recs I got a couple of days ago (http://fandomsecrets.livejournal.com/850905.html?thread=527976665#t527976665), and it's really addicting if you are into crime dramas. If you get the channel USA, they usually do Law & Order:SVU or NCIS marathons daily, and I find SVU a really great show to watch in bulk and a good friend of mine does the same with NCIS (SVU is also available on Netflix Instant Watch). I'm also going through all of My Little Pony:FiM right now, but I can only watch like three/four episodes of that at a time, so IDK if it's a good marathon show, but it's cute and fun and if you can marathon bright kids' show I recommend it.

The Wire
Generation Kill
Friday Night Lights
Smallville
Parks and Rec
Fringe
Battlestar Galactica
Firefly
Angel The Series
My So Called Life
Freaks and Geeks

But really? The Wire.

The Tribe. Its about children living in a world where a virus killed all the adults. It was five seasons long and each season was 52 episodes.

Outrageous Fortune is on netflix. I loved it.

Or if you want something newer I'm a huge fan of Jane by Design. Its 10 episodes so far with the newer episodes coming on this summer.

[immortality.livejournal.com]

Bomb Girls! It's a Canadian show that just aired S1, set in a bomb factory at the start of WW2. It's amazing.

[(Anonymous)]

Hey Arnold!

it's on netflix instant, if you have it

[(Anonymous)]

Being Erica.

[childings.livejournal.com]

Battlestar Galactica
Game of Thrones
Mad Men

[got_swagger]

The Vampire Diaries.

Ignore the really sometimes-skeevy marketing the CW does (which initially put me off, because I don't find oiled up people all that attractive) and make it through the inevitably lame pilot episode, and seriously the show is more addictive than crack.

Shows I always feel like watching another episode after I’ve finished watching:

Miniseries:
From Earth to the Moon
Band of Brothers

Sci-fi:
Stargate: Atlantis

Comedy:
Newsradio
Titus
Sports Night

British Comedy:
As Time Goes By
Coupling
Top Gear (I know it seems like an informational show about cars, but trust me, it’s comedy)

[otakugal15.livejournal.com]

Xena, either as a rewatch, or a first time deal, depending on if you ever saw it when it was on air. :3

I've been rewatching it and I'm LOVING IT~!! Cheese, camp, and all~!!

Second on Community and Stargate Atlantis. They're both very good, light-hearted shows. Better Off Ted is on Netflix and it is hilarious.

[cysfics.livejournal.com]

Pushing Daisies is a favorite of mine.

[twilightedge.livejournal.com]

LOST (can watch on Netflix)
Once Upon A Time (still airing)

Boy Meets World (the best)
Batman: The Animated Series
Face Off (just a fun reality show about movie makup artists and their challenges)
Project Runway
X-Men: The Animated Series (90's version, also on Netflix)
Firefly (Netflix)
Big Bang Theory (I like the earlier seasons better but most of it's funny)

I have a lot of anime shows I like but those are mostly online since they haven't been brought over to the states yet, or are rather old.
Mawaru Penguindrum
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Vision of Escaflowne
Sailor Moon
DBZ
Ronin Warriors
Magic Knight Rayearth (the manga is better though but it's still a good anime)
Noir
Cowboy Bebop (same creators of Samurai Champloo)
Gundam Wing, or any other Gundam series, depending on your tastes. =)

I'm also watching quite a few anime shows right now so I'll have to get back to you on what I've finished before I recommend it.

Anyways, I hope this has helped. I like looking for new shows to marathon too. =D
