yatiHere's the thing with me and TV fandoms: we're never really in sync episode-wise. On TV here, most shows are about half a season to whole seasons behind. Sure, I can probably download and watch a few days behind the rest of the fandom, but I, uh, mostly can't be bothered, really. So when I finally get into a show (usually because I get the whole season on DVD or downloaded it or someone passes me something and goes "you must watch this!") it's ages after the other people watching it have moved along, and I'm left squeeing by myself. :( It also leaves me not knowing much about the fandom itself -- I tend to avoid spoilers, so I don't join the relevant communities.
Here's another thing: I never seem to dislike the characters everyone else seems not to like. Again, I'm not really sure how accurate my perception of this is, since I don't really go searching for discussions about episodes, etc, and usually just stumble upon these things when I go looking for fic.
That long prologue comes to this: I'm watching Numb3rs, somewhere in mid-season 3, and I rather like Amita, honestly. She's smart, she's pretty, and while she doesn't go around literally kicking ass and taking names, she does work on a lot of maths that help solve crimes. Yeah, she was a bit clingy to Charlie, especially in the first season, and at times I do get frustrated watching her always doing some sort of work for Charlie (doesn't she have classes, research, papers to write?), but despite that I still like her. One argument I read against her was that she was too pretty and I was baffled by it.
I also think Megan is pretty awesome.
Anyway. A weird thing about the show: while the maths seems valid (note: not a mathematician) the snippets of code you sometimes see around is somewhat iffy (note: not a programmer, either). I swear I saw bits of HTML when they were running an algorithm on a computer -- I can't remember what it was for, but I'm pretty sure it wouldn't have done what Charlie said it was doing, XD.
Also, I totally ship David/Colby now. Totally.
