:inlove:

Okay. I'd say I'm in the middle. This abstract, arcance concept of fate (the stars) makes a nice scapegoat to blame for a myrida number of problems: divorce, death, problems with relationships, and even trivial issues. "That's just how things are." Romeo and Juliet couldn't turn the clock back on their ill-fated, star-crossed love (Shakespeare LOVES using time in his plays). Gatsby couldn't stop himself from pining after Daisy. Darcy couldn't help but fall madly in love with Elizabeth. Augustus Waters couldn't help dying. The fault does in part lie in the stars, but it also lies within our humanity--which, you could argue, is also due to the stars/fate/whatever--and the innate desires and impulses we have. We can control many of them, but we choose not to. .so I'd say the fault is both in our stars and in ourselves.

I am in the middle as well. Good answer, Josh! Props to you for mentioning Darcy and Augustus Waters. =D>

I don't have a seventh favorite color :noway: But that would probably be my least favorite, so I'll go with red.

I've only seen episodes since the relaunch, and while I think they're all marvelous in their own ways, I'll go with Ninth. Even then, a lot had to do with the lame plots.
