Fandom coping mechanisms for medical-phobes; Unpopular fandom opinions meme

[ninety6tears]

I flipped my shit a little when I saw this at fandomsecrets cause as embarrassing as it is, I was thinking about submitting a way-too-similar secret about how I've been projecting fictional characters onto my doctors to get through waiting room anxiety for a long time. Except it would be DeForest Kelley's McCoy, and up until I got into Star Trek it was (even more silly) an original character of mine who happens to be a doctor.
But seriously, I don't get it when Trek fans joke about Bones having a terrible bedside manner. I would've killed to have a doctor like him for the first half of my life, twenty-first century medicine included.

This must be the first time I've felt like I had enough weird opinions to do the
When you see this, post five unpopular fandom opinions in your journal.

.FIREFLY: I absolutely could not stand River Tam. I hate that character with the fire of a thousand suns.
.STAR TREK: I love both generations of Kirk/Uhura, in a way where one reality helps the chemistry of the other in an infinite loop of shippy glee. I always noticed and loved the exceptional amount of respect Kirk showed her compared to other women in TOS, and the fact that there's kind of a discrepancy between that dynamic and the ham-handed attempts to woo her after their meeting in the new movie sets up huge potential for development and transformation of that relationship in the new reality. No, I don't particularly want to see Kirk in a serious relationship (I'd rather not see any of the crew unprofessionally involved, but that's a whole 'nother unpopular opinion entirely, I guess), I just want clumsy friendship and snark and tension and "Don't call me by my first name."
.STAR TREK AGAIN: I don't particularly want a canon sexual relationship involving Spock in any shape or form. I'm very attached to the way his emotional range was quietly developed in the original series through his relationship with Kirk and how he didn't even seem to realize that he had feelings of friendship for those around him until he was far beyond being able to purge them. Flinging a romance into his life feels kind of like a quick way to grab new viewers into that personal conflict with a rather exhausted trope of character writing. I actually loved the crap out of Spock and Uhura's relationship until I realized it was sexual the first time I saw Star Trek, so it's not even a Jim vs. Nyota issue. I just think there is a sad shortage of profoundly life-changing friendships in movies and, you know, that just isn't true to life. At all.
.BATTLESTAR GALACTICA: The finale was acceptable. I probably don't hate it as much as everybody else because it was never about the ending for me and I had kind of already accepted that whatever explanation RDM botched together in the spirit of reckless TV writing would not possibly make everyone happy.
.TWILIGHT: I thought the portion of Breaking Dawn from Jacob's POV was, for the most part, kind of awesome. I really hate it when a bunch of the peeps on Team Jacob try to whine that Meyer got her own character wrong because he's not being a big bundle of sunshine, when it's for pretty understandable reasons. That segment of BD only further confirmed for me that the series would have been a hell of a lot better if SMeyer had actually been willing to take it to a pretty dark place. But it was definitely all downhill deux ex machina yawnfest from there, and...I'm never going to bother finishing that book.
