A lot of people don't care about anything. I'm indifferent towards a lot of things and yet I still have an opinion on almost everything.

That being said, I spent a lot of time being critical about media (movies, television, music, etc.). This does not mean that I complain about everything but that I analyze and think about things critically.

I won't lie. I'm a sucker for epic stories and anything with deep character involvement. This can range anywhere from climactic battle sequences to subtle emotional events. I prefer characters that are flawed and can cover a range of emotions and traits. I hate characters that are arbitrary, too predictable, too idyllic or just all over the place. The more dynamic, yet consistent, the character, the better. I prefer stories with strong central plots, and am usually drawn to more serious or darker work. I try to appreciate shows for what they are.

If a work just wants to dazzle me with mindless violence and cool images, that's fine. Playful humor and good natured amusement work too. I don't mind shows that use CGI. However, I personally hate things that are excessively goofy and random and/or go nowhere. If something doesn't have some kind of point or is trying to say something I don't really get anything out of it. I like to have my mind challenged, my imagination ignited and/or my emotions stirred. Anything that can pull off some combination of these is usually a win.

And so our journey begins...
