fandoms of my flist
Because I couldn't pass it up...the fandoms of my flist meme. Saw this post and it was too good to resist. Basically, I will tell you the plots of your favourite shows that you have talked about and I have never seen!
Veronica Mars: I have never seen this one, but it has a Not!Buffy named Veronica that may or may not be in love with someone named Logan or Weevil or Duncan and one of the actors is on the internet all the time. And she solves crimes in her spare time or something. And there was violence, and maybe it took place in a hallway, and maybe Charisma Carpenter was involved. Maybe. Or maybe she was just sleeping with someone. But it's totally, totally not Buffy. No, really, I swear. Stop looking at me like that!
Heros: It's multiethnic! And I will tell you this at least fifty times! It really is! And they have superpowers! And sometimes everyone doesn't get equal time because it's so multiethnic! And maybe someone fell off a building once, only not. And there's this one guy that's really hot, only he isn't at all, except shut up, he so is, you bitch.
Studio 60: This is cheating, because I saw the first two episodes, but: Danny and Not!Danny are totally gay for each other, Harriet loves Jesus only in a lackluster way, everyone on the internet is mean to Sorkin, and gay people are campy. And it's not funny, but it's supposed to be that way.
Smallville: The story of teen!Superman and his lover/rival/lover Lex Luthor. And there are girls around, but they cause cooties. Basically summing up what we already suspected: boobies are Clark's true kryptonite.
Firefly: Again, cheating because I saw the pilot. The captain is a serious bitch, the redheaded guy is woefully unappreciated, the perky girl who sounds like she's twelve is evidently really good with a wrench, the prostitute is world-weary and pseudo-mysterious, there's a guy named Jayne that needs a good punch to the face, and the ship may or may not be falling apart. And there's a girl in a box.
Grey's Anatomy: We're quirky! We're femme! We do boy jobs without smudging our makeup! And everyone sleeps with everyone else, the end.
Ugly Betty: There's this chick who wears terrible clothes and bad glasses, and needs to get rid of her bangs, therefore she is hideous. Except this is good for some reason, even though she works in fashion, where they only want you to be hideous if it sells.
Friday Night Lights: This...may or may not have something to do with teenagers playing football. With sexy results.
The Nine: Cheating, because I halfassedly listen to this in the background while The Husband watches, but there's these people, and they were in a bank robbery (with somewhat sexy results) and now they keep having AA meetings at each other's houses, because nothing says 'let the good times roll!' like spending several hours with the people that happened to be there during the worst day of your life.
Project Runway: Now, I might be reaching here, but I believe this has something to do with...a runway. And maybe people that want to walk up and down a runway for a living.
...yes, that's all's I know about it. Maybe each week one gets voted off the island and ends up wherever models go to die (i.e., forced to endure sexual relations with Pete Doherty)?
One Tree Hill: Is this the show that has Chad Michael Murry and his ex-wife and his future wife all on the same show? Because they can just stop filming the show and do "One Tree Hill: When half-assed WB stars go batshit insane", and I will totally watch that instead. If it's on the WB, it's probably Dawson's Creek version #23423, unless it's Supernatural, in which case it's Dawson's Creek if you got rid of everyone and replaced them with a really nifty car and demons and two brothers and daddy issues and okay, Supernatural is nothing like Dawson's Creek. Although I think Katie Holmes was a demon at some point or another.
Gilmore Girls, Seventh Heaven, are any of these shows still on?: See above, re: Dawson's Creek.
CSI: Elevator Repair: They're...Crime Scene Investigators! And...crime happens! And...it happens in several different cities!
NCIS: For some reason, I thought you all were talking about studying for some kind of British exam, and then I realised it was a TV show. Maybe it takes place on a boat. I am probably wrong about the boat. But maybe not about the exam. Does it have anything to do with boats? I keep thinking it's boat-related. Ooh, maybe it's a show where several sexy-yet-tortured 20somethings deal with the woes of studying for the GRE or something along those lines. It would not surprise me if there was a show like that out there.
The O.C.: Beverly Hills, 90210, only you can count everyone's ribs through their shirts and there's even more throwing of glasses and dramatic sobbing. At least it doesn't have Tori Spelling.
Veronica Mars: I have never seen this one, but it has a Not!Buffy named Veronica that may or may not be in love with someone named Logan or Weevil or Duncan and one of the actors is on the internet all the time.
