TV Ignorance!

Okay, so I usually avoid memes that aren't fic-based, but I just had to give the following one a whirl. Taken from [livejournal.com profile] oneangrykate.

the TV IGNORANCE MEME.

I will tell you what your favorite shows are about, based solely on what I have gathered from my flist...


American Idol: People singing and getting voted off by viewers. Or by judges. And there's a guy called Simon something involved, so it's kinda like a musical of Simon Says.

Avatar Aang: An avatar called Aang? Who has a blue swirly thing on his forehead. And people using elemental attacks to fight each other. Some girl dying, too?

Bleach: Shinigami! Someone called Gin. Someone else called Rukia. Ducks in a bathtub, maybe? And a guy who can control plants and is called Hakkai or something because he's part-demon, but I know that bit from an RP.

Battlestar Galatica: Uh. Space? Probably a battleship. And people. Fighting. In Space.

Death Note: Light and L and Raito and mind games. And a lack of sex or slash but people put that in anyway. And handcuffs. And a notebook that kills you if your name gets written down into it. And Light being a serial killer, or possibly that's L. And I think that Raito and Light are the same person, or is that Raito and L?

Dexter: A serial killer who kills other killers because that helps keep his destructive urges on the side of light and sugar cookies.

Doctor Who: A time-travelling alien guy? And a companion called Jack and another called Rose. And a ship called the TARDIS and Daleks which are a race of killer aliens. Except one Emo Dalek that's the last one left. Oh, and the doctor keeps dying and coming back in new reincarnations.

Heroes: People with superpowers that fight crime? There's a girl called Claire that's a cheerleader on the team and gets cut open during one episode!

Supernatural: Dean and John (or is that Sean?) Wincester having incestuous sex. Or being brothers in a very gay way. I swear that's what my flist says!

Veronica Mars: A chick who's a detective and schoolgirl at once. Like Nancy Drew, but more hardcore. And some guy called Logan that's snarky. The chick's blonde. And British, I think. Or the thing's set in Britain. One of the two.

If I missed a fandom you've talked about in your journal, comment and I'll try to explain it unless I'm also into it. XD

...See, I was pronouncing it 'Ray-toe' in my head. Then I tried figuring out how it could sound like Light and headdesked. XD

Thanks for the explanation. And hah, yeah, should have tossed in something about L being made of gingerbread.

No worries. I only got that b/c halfway through the manga, the translators added a footnote explaining why "Raito" became "Light." Hehe, but that's not entirely kosher...or canon. Death by ingestion by hungry college student doesn't have the same ring.

Ahhh. I don't remember who I read the Light/Raito thing from, but I knew that people had multiple names! *snickers* Wait, does that mean that L DOES die somehow in canon?

I think it stemmed from translation issues. The footnote mentioned that the author wanted it translated as Light, so they changed from "Raito" to "Light" about 1/3 or so into the manga.

Of course not O:) I was merely referring to the general prevalence of death by heart attack or some creative suicide on Raito's part. Although, I suppose death by ingestion would be very creative...
