ME.
Well, I doubt an introduction is very interesting to read, but I guess Ill try and make this as short as possible. Hi there. I am Shocky. Im gonna keep my name in blue at the moment because colour coding might be useful later. If your wondering, my name comes from my Warrior name from the warrirocats forums, which was my original introduction to interenet communtities and while Im not exactly proud to have started as a warrior cats fan, might as well stick with a name. Okay Ill get going now...
I am the SCI-FI part of this power trio(apparently I am "the Kirk" of the 3 of us), I watch the Trek, I watch the Wars and Im probably a bit more picky when it comes to choosing what media to consume. While I do love Fantasy, I own the extended editions of LOTR, and I have liked anime since last year when I became friends with the Otaku mentioned in the title, I know the most about this genre. I think I need to set up a few things here quickly.
a) We are all the same age, teens, so this is coming from a teenage girls point of view. Although I dont think I fit under typical as that includes those who watch Jersey Shore and spend all night and Facebook.
b)I want to defy stereotypes. Especially the one above. Specifically the one above. Actually thats kind of redundant as I just mentioned I dont consider myself to fit under it...
c)Theres still many MANY series and movies I have to watch, and things I have to learn, but I like to think my opinion matters.Even if no one reads it.
Now thats basics out of the way, people may want to know what Im into. Well, for one Im a Trekkie, so references ar epossible. Second, Im a browncoat, so I have a burning desire to avenge cancelled cult shows.(FOX I will bring you down with HATE!!)
I like to read, and was once a Potter fan at about...age 9. Now I like to read and watch internet reviews. I like to talk and discuss things I see, although sometimes its incoherent babbling...At the moment I just finished watching the Re-Imagined series of Battlestar Galactica(Lots of things to say about that) and the next thing I have planned to watch is Farscape. Just thought it should be known.
I like SCI-FI driven by characters over concepts. I loved Inception, thought it was great, but I dont like how movies like it and The Matrix feel too cold for me. One thing I loved about BSG was how much it had. It had great characters, conflicts and plot and at the same time some really good ideas woven throughout.(Although how all the buildup was eventually dealt up was...dissappointing)Inception,in the end, was about the idea,how it worked and what it does to the characters. BSG, while its not fair to compare a show to a movie, puts a lot more focus on its characters and their specific conflicts.
There are lots of things to make something good or bad to me, but overall I value characters. Thats why I love Firefly.
