Ok, so this is going to be an entirely unpopular opinion, but here I go anyways: I'm not that upset that Lamb was killed off. I just... I never got the Lamb love. I love Michael Muhney, I think he's totally great and he's so good to the fans, but... it just seems like to me a lot people transfer their love for the actor onto the character. And if you really, truly love the character, then fine, I mean, that's your opinion. But I think Lamb's an asshole, I mean, he's always been an asshole. Everytime I see someone say "OMG I LOVE LAMB" I can't help but remember the pilot, and how he acted when Veronica came in to report her rape. And I just don't understand how some people are now going "OMG VM is now dead to me, I'm no longer going to watch the show!" or "Lamb was the only good thing left about the show!" Because, really? He's not on the show that much as it is, and whenever he's on it's only for someone to make a Lamb-is-stupid joke, or to contrast how inept he is with how awesome Veronica and Keith are at solving mysteries.

I don't know, he's kind of like Dick to me. A lot of people love Dick, and I think the actor is great, and sure, Dick can be interesting, but if he was written off the show, it would make no difference to me. He's still the guy that encouraged his little brother to rape Veronica. And, you know, he's a complete dick.

I don't know, I think I need to just stay away from VM fandom, because I rarely ever agree with anything anyone else thinks.

Time for another opinion that's probably going to be very unpopular: I watched the end of the pilot of The Black Donnellys that's up at yahoo and I don't hate the new song. I mean, of course The Arcade Fire song works better and I'd much rather have that song, but... it's just not an option, and I don't mind the new song. The climax of the song matches up well with the action on screen, in my opinion. I think a lot of people don't like it because Snow Patrol is overused (and I think maybe I heard even this exact song was on Grey's Anatomy? But I could be wrong because I don't watch that show) but none of the shows I watch have been using Snow Patrol, so... that doesn't bother me either. I don't know. I'm not about to download the song and listen to it 50 times a day like with The Arcade Fire song, but I don't think the song is going to ruin the end for me either. What's going on is powerful enough that it doesn't need a song to make it awesome; it already is.

So, there you go. Two probably incredibly unpopular opinions. Feel free to hate me forever and yell at me and such now.

(I think I'm in a bitchy mood tonight. It's been a long day.)

I think your absolutely right when you say that people might be morphing MM with his character. I honestly can't think of any other reason why people could adore Lamb like they do. It just doesn't make any sense to me. He's a bastard! Gah.

My flist has also been exploding with the whole "Fuck VM" mentality. I just don't feel the same way. Like, at all.

I'll definitely check it out! Not on TV (darn not having a dorm room with cable hookup!) but I've seen it floating around. Not like a I really need another show, though. :)

It's midterm time again, ugh. The stress = bitchy Sarah. :/

Yeah, that's really all I can think of, because Lamb has been a complete jackass throughout the series. I can't think of any redeeming moments for him. He's entertaining, but he's not even in the show that much!

Yeah, same here. I just don't understand it. I think I need to just stay away from VM fandom, because anytime I come near it, it always just makes me feel negative and unhappy and such.

Awesome! Heh, I know what you mean, I don't really need another show... but it's so good! And it's taking the place of a show I was already watching in that timeslot, so I'm justifying it by saying that I'm not really adding a new show, I'm just... replacing an old one with it!

Ah, that really sucks. I'm lucky I don't have to deal with midterms. But it is like a month into my second semester of my senior year of high school, and I'm really ready to graduate. And people I've known for four years that have always been a little irritating have just been driving me insane recently.

Exactly! Honestly, whenever I see (saw?) Lamb pop up in the current season I was always like, "Hey! Lamb! I completely forgot you existed!" So the fact that people are saying that Lamb was the only good part of the whole entire show? Flabbergasted I think would be the right word. Heh.

Yeah, I usually avoid the fandom now. I even ignore most of my flist reactions because I tend to get annoyed and cranky.

Haha, good point! I'm definitely intrigued. I've heard so many good things about it. Which probably means it'll be canceled within, like, 5 episodes. *sigh*

Aw, yeah I feel your pain. The people here are always driving me insane. It'll be over soon enough, though! :) I just can't wait for this semester to be over and done with.

I don't really understand why the people who were saying Lamb was the only good part of the show even kept watching, because, I mean, as I said, he really isn't in that many episodes. I mean, why watch a show for one secondary character that's in a couple episodes of the season when you hate everything else? It just doesn't make sense to me.

Yeah, I stopped reading flist reactions as much the past couple weeks but I was reading some tonight and that was probably a mistake. Oh well. I'm going to try to avoid them for the rest of the season.

Heh, I know, I'm already worried about the ratings it's going to get, and it hasn't even aired its first episode yet! I feel like the shows I really love are always in a constant battle to stay on the air because of low ratings.

Yeah, same here. I'll be really happy to be done with this semester. But you're right, it will be over pretty soon!
