Fannish Friday Five... thingy...

From [livejournal.com profile] fannish5 .

If you could erase five characters from any fandom, who would you choose?

1: Princess Anna Valerius from Van Helsing.
She is a clear cut example of the apparently unavoidable female love interest, in an otherwise great movie, that could do very well without.
2. Kara from Dragonheart.
Basically same deal as #1 here.
3. Ezri Dax from Star Trek Deep Space 9.
Whoever thought it was such a great idea to bring in a new character to what everybody knew was the last season of a show, should really get a good kick in the rear. Way too many episodes were wasted on developing a character that we totally didn't need.
4. Batgirl from Batman and Robin.
As if the movie wasn't bad enough, this batgirl was just the icing on the digusting cake. Not to mention they screwed over the comic background of her completely!! With her gone, there would be one less thing for me to groan about in that movie.
5. I'm determied to have at least 1 male character on this list, so # 5 goes to Sandman from Spiderman 3.
It's like they didn't think 2 problems was enough for Spiderman! Honestly, that movie could have been so much better if the screentime had gone to Harry!Goblin and Venom! Yes please!

That said, "Afterimage" did have some delightful Garak lines in it. Too bad the ending took them all back...

"Spare me your insipid psychobabble. I'm not some quivering neurotic who feels sorry for himself because his daddy wasn't nice. You couldn't begin to understand me!"

"I want someone to help me get back to work. And you, my dear, are not up to this task. I mean, look at you. You’re pathetic – a confused child trying to live up to a legacy left by her predecessors. You're not worthy of the name "Dax." I knew Jadzia. She was vital, alive. She owned herself, and you... you don’t even know who you are. How dare you presume to help me? You can't even help yourself. Now, get out of here before I say something unkind."

Exactly! The setup for the episode was awesome, and then they just screwed over Garak's character like that, not to mention spitting forcefully in the face of anyone suffering from anxiety attacks at the same time.

*grrr*
