Because I haven't talked enough lately...

[next_to_normal]

So, as I mentioned to angearia on my last 30 Days post, I tend to need direction when it comes to thinking of things to talk about. I like being given a topic or having to answer a question. Thus, another asking questions meme! Snagged from snickfic.

Ask me one fandom-related question in the comments. This can be fandom specific, general, or about fandom/lj stuff/fic writing/etc. in general. Favorite character, favorite moment, unpopular opinion, something about a fic of mine... whatever. Subparts allowed. Wackiness encouraged.

I've talked about a lot of TV shows lately, so you should have a better idea of what fandoms interest me, but if there's anything you want to hear more about, now's the time to ask.

The whole Good Guy / Bad Guy thing you mentioned maybe doesn't bode too well... I tend to think of ALL of them as the Bad Guys.

I don't think I'd want to watch a show where everyone's a bad guy. Not in politics, anyway. The thing most people seem to like about The West Wing is that it's hopeful, the way politics ought to be, the people you want running the government. It's not wholly idealistic - they still have to make painful compromises and tough decisions where there's no good answer - but the bottom line is that these are people want to make the country a better place. They are smart, witty, hard-working people with a strong sense of civic duty, and the show makes you realize just how difficult (but also how rewarding) their jobs are.

If you're looking for a show that trashes politicians, this isn't it.

Heck, I have a whole channel that does that... it's called C-Span! :P

Thanks for the advice.

Jumping it to add that I don't know much about politics, least of all the way it all works in the US of A (I did learn some stuff about in high school though) but I absolutely love The West Wing because of the amazing cast. :)

Yeah that's what I heard too. That's what got me curious. I also heard it was really well-written, and I am a sucker for good writing.

Well then I reckon you should give it a go!
