Spike: I'm not a monster. Xander: Yes! You are a monster. Vampires are monsters! They make monster movies about them! Spike: Well, yeah. Got me there.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Happy birthday, little O!
I have a question for Desperate Housewives watchers -- do you like the housewives? Who do you like least/most, and why?
I'm trying to work out if their likeability is a concern or not ... I did read one of the writers or creators (probably Marc Cherry) saying that Susan was the most popular, because she had the most vulnerability. Which I think is a load of crap, and makes me wonder if they think it's possible to like them all.

I've never seen Desperate Housewives, but I'm going to say I like the redheaded one the most, primarily based on my inability to identify any of the others.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I like the redheaded one the most for many reasons, not least being that she's the redheaded one.

That helps too.

I don't watch DH anymore, but Felicity Huffman's character was my favorite.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Whee, snazzy msbelle. That's got to be good. Have a good interview!
My favorite Desperate Housewife would be Lynette because she's got the problems I can most readily sympathize with. I enjoy watching Bree, Susan is irritating but falling through the floor is pretty amusing, and I don't care one way or the other about Gabrielle, but I'm interested in her storyline.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
You mean, there are people who *don't" like Bree (the redheaded one) the best?
Susan's klutzy helplessness gets on my last nerve. "Look at me! I'm so cute and helpless and I need someone to protect me from the big bad world! (As well as protect the world from me cutting a destructive swath in my wake.)" As if incompetence is a most darling trait in a woman.
Dude. I'm totally Edie. Except for the cleavagy slutbomb thing.

I like Lynette the best. Her issues and reactions seem mostly within scope, even if I don't agree with them (like getting hooked on Ritalin). Susan is slapstick and immature and irritating beyond belief. Also, she's having a codependent relationship with her daughter which always makes me mad. Gabrielle -- for a second there, I was kinda liking her, but now that I see she's an equal partner in the horror that is her marriage, I just can't anymore. As for Bree -- she's fun to watch, but I wouldn't go anywhere near her in real life. The spanking someone else's kids last night was a big no-no for me, and the calm way she sheltered her son from the repercussions of his drunk driving put a cap on my potential sympathy.
Edie -- well, she's just without interest for me. If maybe she was being painted as a Cordelia, but no, she has no real truths to impart, unless she's being meta. She's just a big old tramp that's taken care to paint herself into that corner.
