Most of my favorite things are things I did not like when I was first introduced to them. I’m not sure if that means that my tastes are maturing or what but it’s true.
My first example is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the TV show. When it first came out I had just read Anne Rice’s Vampire chronicles and was still in love with her beautiful vampires. I thought vampires with crinkled up foreheads were stupid and never even tried to watch the show. Later on in college, I ended up watching all the shows in order and I was hooked.
The next example is Farscape. When I first saw it I was completely uninterested. Then I started with the first episode and watched it all the way through to the end of the season and I was in love. The same thing happened with Firefly, another absolutely amazing sci-fi show.
Most recently this had happened with The Song of Ice and Fire series by George R.R. Martin. I picked up A Game of Thrones years ago and I just could not get into it at all so it stayed on my bookshelf for a long time. Then about a month ago I picked it up again and I was in love and I’m currently reading a Storm of Swords. I’m hooked. It is such an amazing story with such amazing story telling I really feel like I can’t say enough good things about the series.
So I guess I’m like that and should always give things a second look because my tastes will surely change. I wonder if everybody is like that…
Thanks for reading…
