Unpopular Fannish Opinions Meme

Gacked from cybermathwitch.

I'm not entirely sure I actually have any properly unpopular fannish opinions, but I can give it a go. (And if it looks like I stole a couple of these from cybermathwitch and joyshine, well... there is a reason we are friends, yes?)

• Buffy the Vampire Slayer was first and foremost a metaphor for "High School is Hell."  It should have ended with Graduation (season 3).
• The Sex-to-Plot ratio in the Anita Blake novels really started to get on my nerves.  Now, the sex WAS the plot for the Merry Gentry books, in a wholly organic not-at-all contrived kind of way -- so it didn't bother me.      That said, I really adore Laurel K. Hamilton as an author, and I don't get the point of susposedly being in the Fandom for the sole purpose of bashing her.  Geez, people.  If you really hate it, go read Sherillyn Kenyon.
• Disney retelling myths, fairy tales and legends is every bit as valid as Shakespeare using the story of Pyramus and Thisbe as a basis for Romeo and Juliet.
• The Magician's Nephew was frickin' BOOK SIX people.  Children are not too stupid to understand the concept of "back story" -- although apparently some grown ups are.  (I am so right there with you, joyshine .)
• I will read a whole lot of pairings in Harry Potter that make other people squick like WHOA.  BUT -- incest and cross-gen REALLY bother me.   Won't do it.
• I keep meaning to watch more Supernatural, Dr. Who, BSG, Torchwood, etc... and well -- I really like them (particularly BSG and Dr. Who) but I can't be arsed.  I don't watch much TV.
• I really LIKED HBP.  So there.  I'm gonna go see it again too, see if I don't.

So... what are your unpopular fannish opinions?
