Bud's Last Stand of 2016

1. Your main fandom of the year:

I geeked out a lot over "Criminal Minds" and the NCIS shows. This is not new, though.

2. Your favorite Film this year:

I really enjoyed Hail, Caesar! though it didn't get wonderful reviews, and it was terminally silly.

3. Your favorite Book read this year:

The Golem and the Jinni, by Helene Wecker.

4. Your favorite Album or Song this year:

Honestly, I can't think of a single outstanding song from 2016. There were some good ones, but nothing like "Happy" or "Uptown Funk."

5. Your favorite meme site of the year:

Uh. Nope. Not going there. Can't win. I love you all.

6. Your Fandom that you haven't tried Yet, but want to:

I don't even....

7. Your best new Fandom Discovery of the Year:

Richard III.

8. Your biggest Fandom Disappointment of the Year:

Shemar Moore leaving "Criminal Minds"--and then Thomas Gibson blowing up his career and getting fired from the show.

9. Your TV Boyfriend of the year:

Derek Morgan (I wish!) or good ol' Jethro Gibbs. I also have a mini-crush on Wayne Brady.

10. Your TV Girlfriend of the year:

My heart belongs to Emily Prentiss and Olivia Benson. Sonja Percy is creeping up to the top of late.

11. Your most Missed Old Fandom:

Hmm. I don't think I missed anything much, or perhaps that just means I missed it completely.

12. Your Biggest Anticipations of the New Year:

I can't think of anything. Here's a snapshot: prior to our viewing of Rogue One we were subjected to 8 (eight!) previews for upcoming movies. There were two that were mildly interesting to me; the only one I remember of those two is the Wonder Woman movie, because ... WONDER WOMAN! I think my interest in pop culture has waned into almost nothing.

13. Your favorite post (of yours) of the year:

Nope, I'm not going back to read them all. I'd be happy to get through a post without any typos or egregious stupidity.

14.Your favorite new blog (to you) of the year:

I'm hopeless at this stuff: I don't want to pick one and NOT pick someone else.

15.Your favorite new website of the year:

The National Archives site, where I spent a lot of time translating written records into digital format in my free time.

16. Your favorite news story of the year:

This was not a year during which I enjoyed the news very much. At all.

17. Your favorite actor of the year:

Eddie Redmayne is an interesting guy.

18. Your favorite drama TV show of the year:

Probably NCIS:NO.

19. Your favorite comedy TV Show this year:

I don't watch a lot of comedies these days. So it's probably a toss-up between "Whose Line Is It?" and "SNL."

20. Your favorite cartoon of the year:

I really don't do cartoons. Beast throws the new Bloom County strips at me regularly, but I don't find it funny except in the absurdist frame; mostly it's just depressing because it's true. And I don't watch cartoons on TV or movies at all.
