Birth is the beginning of death*

Aug 01, 2011 20:26

So, fandoms are colliding. Case in point:
  • Bones having Angel's Angel and Hamilton together in a scene.
  • Medium having Firefly's Badger and Niska together in a scene.
I just...thought I'd point that out? Because I kinda want to do art about it but not now?

Speaking of Medium, I watched the third episode with Mark Sheppard (although really, the first one is a lie, because it has Mark saying two lines and then it's nothing but sitting there staring at the screen, consumed by lust, waiting for his character to show up again and he never does, at least not Mark-shaped). It made me rant at the screen.

So I'm going to rant at the screen again, in typed form. Because GRR ARGH.

Doctor: She's been in labour for over thirty hours. Something clearly is not right.

Oh, ya think?! And could you be more specific about your "something"? Have you even tried to see if the baby is backwards, or breached, or whatever? No, the woman is just lying there failing to give birth and BLEEDING ALL OVER and you're just "Oops, something's gone awry!"
Doctor: I think it's time we consider an alternate method of delivery.

By which you mean slicing her open. Alive. Awake. And not in the "we can fix this later" way, either. Just, not even try to save the woman.
Doctor: I'm seeing an unusual amount of blood. I fear it may already be too late for Mrs Walker but there's still a chance I can save the baby.

...an unusual amount? SHE'S HEMORRHAGING! Of course it's unusual! And you're just walking around not doing anything to stop the bleeding! because God forbid you lay hands on a woman's bits! That's be improper. And what's this "I fear" shit? You're not even trying to save Moira, just "I LIKE TO SLICE!"
Charles: Doctor, I don't care about the baby. Honestly, all I care about is Moira.

Moira: It's alright, Charles. The only thing that matters is our child.

Charles: I don't agree.

Doctor, you just suggested murdering his wife so he could have the squalling mess of baby. Charles is obviously very much in love with his wife and apparently he's supposed to be all, "NO, THE BABY IS MORE IMPORTANT! More important that this woman I love and have spent a large part of my life with and want to spend the rest of my life with!" And Moira?!? What the fuck?! Not unless your child is The Chosen One is it more important than you trying to not die. You are not a sack of meat! You are not an incubator! How is Charles the only one to realize that just because it's an unborn baby it doesn't mean it gets dibs on living over everyone else?
Doctor: With all due respect, sir, you're not a doctor. You don't know the first thing about medicine. There is no time. [Walks in with Moira, locks the door, and does an impromptu and lethal Cesarian.]

NEITHER DO YOU! You had thirty hours to notice that that baby wasn't coming out. THIRTY HOURS. And now it's all "Aaah, no time!" Do you even know why the baby's not coming out? Seriously, you call yourself a doctor?!? Why Charles didn't come back and hack you to pieces, I will never understand.
Doctor: [Has just murdered Moira.] "It's a boy. Sir, your child needs you.

YOU JUST KILLED HIS WIFE! Maybe he's not quite up to the whole "let's rejoice in the reason my wife is dead" thing at the moment. And that baby needs a wet nurse more than it needs a distraught father at the moment.
Doctor:: Your place is out here with the child, not in there with a dead woman!

I don't know where you think he is, but Charles is mourning the death of his wife. Not some "dead woman".
Doctor: Sir, what are you doing in there?! I'm going to the police! If you do not unlock this door and come out here and deal with this baby I'll be forced to go to the police!

Again, he's mourning his dead wife! Whom you just killed! By over-enthusiastic Cesarian! And you're going to call the cops?! What are you going to say? "Oh, yeah, he wouldn't hold his baby. No, I don't know why. He's in there with some dead chick. Yeah, crying, God knows why. Lazy sod.

So yeah, FUCK YOU, DOCTOR NISKA.

Day 8 - A character’s parent(s) or guardian
Saunders almost spilt his coffee down his front when he heard a soft knock at his door.

"Excuse me? Exucse me, hello?"

Saunders held his dripping mug over the coffee table but didn't set it down, afraid to make a noise. The knocking came again followed by what he realized now was a child's voice.

"Is anybody home?" More knocking, but softer. "Hello?" The voice was almost a whisper now, and sounded as if it did not expect an answer anymore.

Saunders closed his eyes. His ears rang in the silence of his apartment. A soft shuffling in the hallway brought him to his feet.

Opening the door a crack, Saunders saw the back of a young girl - somewhere in her pre-teens - walking away with a pair of keychains in her hand. Her hair was wild, a mess of curls that had disentangled from each other and wafted around her head like a halo, making her seem even smaller, swimming as she was already in an oversized sweater.

Saunders gripped his Winchester tight, then took a breath.

"Little girl?"

She twirled around instantly and took a few stops towards him, but then stopped short, her hands clasped under her chip. She bit her lip.

"Do you have anyone with you?"

She shook her head.

Memories of the days before flooded Saunders - the weight of his rifle, the growls and screams coming in from the streets and through is locked door. He didn't really have a choice.

He opened his door wide. "Come in," he said.

The girl broke into a run halfway towards him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Saunders patted her hair and closed the door behind them.
