I haven't delved into the fandom much, because I'm not really interested in fic for it. Some of my TW friends were posting gif sets back when it was airing (usually Fe, can't think why, he is SUCH a doll). I see stuff flow by periodically, but haven't gone hunting it.
Felix is my favorite character overall, although honestly, Kira's close as a second because oh MAN that kid is good. She's almost as amazing an actress as Tatiana. But HOLYCRAP I cannot even have words to express how impressed I am with the actress for the clones. Because she makes it BELIEVABLE. The show would be NOTHING without her talent.
Favorite clone? I don't even KNOW. I love them all for different reasons... I love how Allison cracked (and everything she went through, and how she was RIGHT DAMN IT). I love Cosima for her intelligence and her drive. I love Sarah because she's down to earth and stubborn. Helena was intriguing (and made my skin itch half the time). I think they are all amazing, and I can't wait to see what comes next season.
I am an unusual TW fan in that I didn't mind this season, but I always tend to give a lot more leeway to things than most fans do. I'm kind of mellow. I have things I love and things I don't. I loved watching Stiles fray. I missed Jackson (still do). I'm frustrated about the deaths, and do wish I had more from Cora, but I have so much head canon for her on my own now. I loved Lydia and Allison, and I do love looking back and seeing how relationships have changed and how people have grown. I love the little parallels that are built in. I hate the wank, which really affected how I watch it and how I interact with the community. Other me tries to be kind of super active (and writes a lot of fic) but she also remains very much on the fringe.
I'm looking forward to the second half. I guess... I trust. It's going to be another rapid rollercoaster ride because they are treating it as two twelve episode arcs rather than one long 24 episode arc, and I actually prefer that. I don't want what we went through to be drawn out because then I think the pacing would be too slow. The character development might improve, but the plot would suffer, and fans would rage about how nothing moved. I don't think it's possible to get it right/perfect. *wry smile* I guess we'll see.
I need to rewatch the last episode (maybe tonight if I'm lucky), and then I just need to write like crazy for the next four months while canon is temporarily closed. I love closed canon. It's so FREEING. :)
