@Fabricant451 I can't possibly think of one. If you're talking about Supernatural then yeah, I still like it but I wouldn't say it's like a top-tier show anymore. I used to love Arrow before they jumped the shark in S3 and fucked everything up. I want to start the Flash but I'm pretty sure they'll screw that up in the next season or so so I'm not putting my hopes up. Also, didn't watch it (because the fandom I found it through liked this other trash show and they were kind of disgusting so I didn't trust their judgment) but everyone said The 100 was good but from what I heard they also are doing shit writing this season so.

@Fabricant451 but everyone said The 100 was good but from what I heard they also are doing shit writing this season so.

@reiko

ah, they're not doing shit writing

everybody's just mad that they killed off one of the lesbians

which annoys me because her death wasn't just for dramatic effect, it served a fucking purpose and the show couldnt move on without her death so everybody is being irrational about it

The 100 is A+ though and is one of the rare cases where the show is better than the book plus it's plot-based rather than character-based. Shows that are character-based (Supernatural, Arrow, Flash, Teen Wolf, etc. etc.) eventually become shit because they keep having to come up with a new plot in order to make a good show when a show should tell one plot with growth of characters and end of show.

_{i obviously have strong feelings about this sorry XD}

@Apokalipse

What they said.

I mean, I loved that character but like...come on. Come on. Did you people not learn from what happened in season 2? Like no one has plot armor because they are sleeping with the main character.

[reiko]

@Apokalipse Well I don't watch the show so I can't judge but I believe they also killed off Lincoln who was an example to why the show was so good (diverse [racially and sexually], complex characters). Like I think I've gone through the whole ordeal that everyone's upset about and I dropped the show that basically insults our intelligence with their repetitive plots and attempts to mislead you so they can "shock you."

Idk if I can agree with you on that. I don't like plot driven shows as much because you generally get cliche characters so you don't have to flesh them out as much because it's about the story and they always end up doing the bullshit shock value thing. I mean look at this RP: it's about the characters and their interactions and how they grow and I think if you have well developed characters it'll drive the plot accordingly. Like OITNB is an AMAZING show that gives each individual character a backstory and room to grow and become complex and that's what makes it so good.

@HalfOfLancelot Although I love shipping and the stereotypical shipper (I admit I judge and argue with you on ships. I know I'm the worst kind and give shippers a bad name) I actually don't go into a show looking for ships. I want it to be natural so I know there's something special there. Sometimes I end up shipping nothing at allb or it takes some time.

[Fabricant451]

@reiko They also killed off the one black kid in the third episode but no one cared then.

But they kill the lesbian and it's like the end of the world. Granted season one was a hot mess but still.

Also every time someone mentions a show based around characters rather than plot I remember Lost and how that show was about characters and also total garbage.

@reiko

Actually, it's usually the character-driven shows that do things for shock value because they have nothing else to do with their episodes but shock us.

And they didn't kill Lincoln off just to kill Lincoln off - the actor who played Lincoln wanted to leave the show so they had to kill him.

I disagree completely because I have never seen a character-driven show that was more than 75% good. Yes, i watch them all the time (but I'm a lover of trashy movies (_{like forreal, i love watching Vampire Academy because it's so fucking stupid it's enjoyable})) but that doesn't mean they have any merit. Any show that focuses more on characters than plot are most of the time (if not always) guilty of A) fanservice that completely ruins the show or B) ruin the show by throwing too many curveballs in order to elicit the whole shock value thing

Though I cannot speak about the future of The 100, this show clearly has a place it wants to go and a plot that seems to be outlined from the beginning (even if it wasn't, it's the illusion that counts). It has direction. All of the character-driven shows I watch have no direction: Jane the Virgin, Supernatural, any superhero tv show ever, Teen Wolf, etc. etc. which is why i stopped watching them.

However, when it comes to diversity, The 100 is definitely where it's at - even if they did kill off a couple of characters. For one, the main character is bisexual - which is rare in itself because shows like to pull that straight girl is only gay for one person nobody else card (_{which is fucking bullshit im looking at you degrassi}); there are multiple POC characters such as Raven, Jaha, Monty, Bellamy, and Indra (plus a bunch of other characters). So I don't see how it's a big deal when two people are killed for plot or personal reasons when it has nothing to do with race or shock value.

But this is just my very stubborn opinion.

@reiko, @Fabricant451, @Apokalipse GOT!!!

@Wintergrey I've never watched it because anything that has dragons and swords and junk makes me want to die.

@Fabricant451

how dare you! its more than dragons and swords! there is sex too :P

[Fabricant451]

@Wintergrey I like one of those things.

I like that one thing far, far away from the other two.

[AlteredTundra]

@Wintergrey I've never watched it because anything that has dragons and swords and junk makes me want to die.

@Fabricant451

That is a very inaccurate description of Game of Thrones. Sure, there are dragons and swords, but there are so many things more in the show. There's family drama, discrimination, rape, child abuse, slavery, assassinations, and pretty much what everyone enjoys about television. Oh and Kit Harington's abs and Natalie DOrmer's tits. <3

So was The Office! D;

And Parks and Rec!

@reiko

I tend to be into a show for the stories and the characters. I tend to be in fandoms for shipping.

We're opposites, though, in that I'm fine with everyone else's ships - even the ones that don't make sense or are more taboo. I don't like arguing about things like that; I'm just happy to have content to read or see, in terms of ships. I'll give you my reasons for not shipping something, but I'll never tell you that you're wrong for shipping it or that it doesn't make any sense to ship it. I'm a goody-two-shoes irl and it translates everywhere else. Even if my humor's a little... out there.

The only problem I have in relations to a ship is if the character in question was canonically LGBT and the person decides to forgo all of that. We're so gypped on representation (as Apok says) that it's not at all right or fair to the character or the people who relate to them, imo. That's the only time I'll get touchy about a ship.

It's one thing to ship a straight character with their gender (people do that all the time and there's a plethora of heterosexual men and women in media) it's another thing entirely to ship a lesbian character with a man or a gay man with a lady (who people have to squeeze through numerous, numerous things to get even an inkling of rep). That's why it's such a big thing that Deadpool's pansexuality translating from comics to the movie was such a big thing or that Mark Hamill said what 'Go for it' concerning Luke Skywalker's sexaulity. (or that Iceman's gay haha. I'm still not over it. I'm still noT OVER IT)
