I'm using my Josh icon because I use my House icons far far more frequently (as it's still on).

In the latest Fandom Steel Cage Match round: http://winter-baby.livejournal.com/266835.html I'm forced to choose between Josh Lyman and Greg House.

JOSH LYMAN AND GREG HOUSE! Followers of Eating Hard Candy Alone and the career of one Sab will see just how painful and impossible this choice is! They are both alteregos of mine! They are both brilliant men full of angst and self loathing! They are both supported by their young turk buttoned up partners! I wrote a five-story collection character study of Josh Lyman! I am in the middle of a hurt/comfort self-hating suicide-attempt rationalizing embarrassingly emo fic about House because I need to exorcise my complicated feelings and affinity for him!

SO, please help? Please? Fandom Steel Cage Match = SRS BIZNESS.


[Poll #1362230]

ETA: Less abstaining! More helping! ETA 2: ET TU, LUNA? *shakes fist*

ETA 3: There are some VERY good arguments being made in the comments. On both sides. I now want to host a town hall style debate. Oh, wait. I guess I AM hosting a town hall style debate. How about that?


And as I told the cruel and unusual winter_baby, I might have to write an XO now, costarring Sam and Wilson who team up to try and protect Josh and House from themselves!

Anyway, I only have till one tomorrow afternoon NY time. Again, SRS BIZNESS, people. And while I'm at it, go continue to vote for the Tenth Doctor over that horrible Alec from DA? And come struggle with the rest of us on Liz Lemon vs. Sheldon Cooper. I voted for Liz but that is ONLY because I know more about Tina Fey than I do about Jim Parsons. I will repeat, though, that if you don't sing along loud to the Big Bang Theory theme and let it fill you with WE BUILT A WALL WE BUILT THE PYRAMIDS! then you are dead inside. Dead. Inside.

It all started with the big bang. (BANG!)

I love Sheldon, but Liz Lemon is my religion, so I have to go with her.

I am deeply upset at Jack Harkness losing to Ned the Pie Maker on Pushing Daisies. Because this is SOOPER SRS BIZNESS, apparently.

That is just SO WRONG. I mean, imagine Jack and Ned literally IN a steel cage together! Jack would win so easily. ALTHOUGH! Jack's dead, so I wonder what would happen if Ned touched him? Yeah, okay, that's kind of an awesome crossover.

But I obviously voted for Jack. And Liz Lemon. And Ten over that smarmy, horrible Alec from DA.

I voted for MASON over Ned in the last round, I think! I mean, I know I voted for Mason. And that was Bryan Fuller people and much MORE fair a match. If Ned actually does beat out Jack it's an embarrassment to fandom, I tell you.

But did you vote for House, or Josh?

House, but only because I never really got into West Wing much beyond 'hooray Allison Janney!' because once the Bush years started it was way too depressing to think of a Dem being in office.

I voted for Mason too, but it was really a vote for Joy Lass.

I love Cynthia Stevenson SO MUCH.

Re: It all started with the big bang. (BANG!)

She was the only marginally good part of that really unfortunate Dead Like Me movie. Her awesomeness is staggering.

Re: It all started with the big bang. (BANG!)

That movie was so unfortunate. Though I liked grown-up Reggie too.

My favorite Cynthia Stevenson role is her role in The Player, I think. Her awesomeness INDEED.

Ooo, also her role as the homophobic child services lady in The L Word.
