> Day 23 - Least favourite main cast character

I don't want to have to answer this question. In fact, I would really just like to say that I blame the writers for creating arcs that turn characters I love into characters that annoy me. But I'm not going to play that card today and I'm going to say:

Robin.

When the show first started, Robin was the It girl. She was cool, independent, adventurous, sexy, and placed a high priority on her job. She was a strong female lead, a character that could make a feminist proud, and then...

The writers seemed to lose interest in maintaining this sharpness once her and Ted split. When Barney developed feelings for her, we had no idea that she was possibly feeling the same way. And in Season 5, she became this shallow woman so obsessed with her looks and appearance that it was really hard to watch her.

Bad writers!

That said...I still have mad respect for Mezz's portrayal of Robin in the role-play. Far as I'm concerned, Mezz's Robin is still hotter than all hell.


> Day 24 - Something you liked that most people didn't.
> Day 25 - Something you hated that most people liked.
> Day 26 - Best ensemble cast episode.
> Day 27 - Fanfic or fanvid rec (or both).
> Day 28 - Plotline you wish had never happened.
> Day 29 - Plotline you wish had happened OR Season 6 biggest plot wish.
> Day 30 - Sketchiest character development OR Whatever you like.


I watched The Vampire Diaries this morning and I have to say that the show continues to surprise me. I love the little plot twists and Caroline continues to shine in the spotlight as my favorite character. She's just so damn cute.

Also, WOO!

I get to go see my play in seven hours and my sister and I are going to get Himalayan cuisine before hand. I've never tried it before, but Nick assures me that it's awesome.

Yeah, I'm most disappointed by the deterioration of Robin's character. :(

Gotta love TNBC!

Seconded! Mezz's Robin had mad skillz. :-D

Why, writers? Why?

When it boils down to it...I think the writers are the ones causing the most trouble.

Thank you both so much. The way seasons four and five went with Robin made me want to go in an entirely different direction with her and it was super fun but it makes it even better to know that you all were cool with how RP!Robin was.

And I'm not just saying this-- I love how that seemed to be true for everyone in the RP-- everyone defined their characters in their own ways that were complimentary to the show but became their own person in the RP.

Love to you both!!

I did!

Thank you! I no longer like Robin either and I've been told off for that. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

Solidarity, sister!

Never tried Himalayan food I must admit, hope you enjoy the meal and the play.

[snogged.livejournal.com]

I hadn't either.
But it was delicious!

I looooooove Caroline this season! Have you seen the most recent one or are you just catching up?

[snogged.livejournal.com]

I'm all caught up. :)
Loved the scene with her and her mom.

I cried at least 2 times during last week's episode! That was one of the scenes. =(
