MEME: Unpopular Opinions

[dlgood]

Stolen from everywhere but I want to play this time.

1) Comment with one of my fandoms or a character or two from that fandom.
2) I'll answer with one or two of my unpopular opinions about that fandom or character.

OR! You can also comment with fandoms I'm not into, and I'll tell you why I'm not a fan.

Current fandoms/shows I'm watching: College Basketball (Mens & Womens), Dexter, Chuck, Heroes, How I Met Your Mother - I watch A LOT of television and could comment on a lot more...

I'm definitely gonna go with How I Met Your Mother.

Also, can I steal your Nats icon?

I don't think you're watching Stargate Atlantis, so have at that one!

College basketball counts as a fandom? I mean, I get (well in theory anyways since I'm not one) being a sports fan, fan of a particular league or level of a sport or a fan of that sport in particular, but I don't see it connecting into the 'tradition' as it were, of fandom. I mean, maybe it's just my personal definition, but I think of fandoms as being related to works of fiction.

I have no problem with someone wanting to hash out who's making the playoffs or Rookie of the Year or the Cy Young Award (dammit, I never remember how to spell that -- that's the pitching one, right?) but is it fandom in the same sense as Dexter, Heroes or HIMYM? I really don't see it. And yes, I know Cy Young (spelling?) is baseball not basketball. It's the principle of the thing.

I mean, is there something in the generally accepted definition of fandom that allows you to put basketball in the mix?
