09. Starbuck. Let us count the ways. (Single Digits Guys!)

So this is a bit self-serving, I'll say that right off the bat. I was looking for some Starbuck character meta earlier and couldn't find any. So, I figured I'd see what thinky thoughts you guys have about her. (I know they're floating around up there in that grey matter somewhere!)

According to this poll, Starbuck is the undisputed favorite with BSG fans. Or, at least, with the BSG fans who are taking my polls. (Let's disregard for a moment that I didn't say, "pick your favorite," hahaha. I think it stands to reason that most people would pick their favs when asked to choose between characters.)

For me personally, Starbuck is unequivocally my favorite fictional character of all time. Hands down. But I'm sure there are many who dislike her or are neutral towards her. So, I wanna hear about it. And why. There is absolutely no judgement here, every single opinion is welcome and wanted.

It can be from the superficial (I don't like her hair/I like her hair!) to the philosophical. I don't care. I wanna know.

1, 2, 3, GO!

Savvy! *salutes*

Yeah I think I identify with her as well, and maybe that's why she's so dear to me as far as characters go. It is often the ones we identify with most that are our favorites. So what does that say about me?

I'm not really a Harry Potter fan, I read the books and watch the movies and discuss a little but I don't participate in fandom. But I remember a berjillion years ago I said to my friend Bradley. "I like Hermione the best."

And he said, "You would! She's so bossy!" Hahaha. Looks like nothing's changed!

Um. Hello fellow selfish soul? :p

I'm a huge HP fan and I've been actively involved in fiction writing, speculative discussions and character squeeing for a couple of years; but I still admit to love people like Hermione (I was telling you something about egocentric natures, right?), Tonks or even Lily, as I can easily admit to be a combination of the three of them. That comes along with the characters I'd happily shag hold for a long safe keeping, like the twins or who knows what other book-crush of mine.
