Time for a Firefly rewatch, and no more bunnies!

Mar 20, 2010 11:45

Taking a cue from prophetkristy , 5 things to blog about (I couldn't come up with 13. I'm starting out small ;) ).

1) I am not a comic book person, not out of any snobbery, but because, kind of embarrassingly, I'm bad at reading them. I tend to match up the speech balloons to the wrong characters and read things out of order or matched with the wrong pictures ( Read more... )

In a totally corny way I want to see like, BSG the Backstories. And a bunch of like, small arc tv shows with more about like, everyone's life. Wouldn't that just be adorable? I feel like that's one of my problems with Caprica- I just miss the people I love and I think they'd be adorable children/teenagers/young adults. (I mean, shy young Laura helping her friends run for student council but not running herself, rebellious teen Gaius having a "i hate you and this whole damn planet i wanna go to caprica!" fight with his daddy, tween Felix playing a pen and paper Cylon War game, teen Kara streetracing, maybe a very young Helo saving a baby bird? I think there's so much potential for adorable ( ... )

Aww! I like that idea. We might be the only two who'd enjoy it, but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be awesome. ;)

Yeah, it's kind of like when a sort of underground or unknown band goes mainstream--you're happy for them, but at the same time, they just can't be quite as cool as when they were semi-unknown.

He was the best actor on Dollhouse--and I *liked* Dollhouse and thought most of the actors did a great job. He's especially hilarious and good at mimicry, so I'll be disappointed if it's not pretty funny.

There's going to be a Book backstory??? It's so about time! I'm excited. I haven't read any of the other comics, but this, along with the Buffy comics, are on my list of "Things I need to get my hands on... someday."

Oh god, everything about the Previously on Point Dume is cracking me up. I wonder if they bring in Enver's twin for any of that rivalry action? I'm so excited for this. Especially for the promise of Enver not ever putting his shirt on. :D

Though I am also in a world of on the fence about a DH movie. I just got my best friends to finally watch it, and they absolutely loved it. I trust Joss, but at the same time... there was just something about it being online that made it so much more epic. And somehow, knowing the whole thing was filmed in 5 days makes it even better.

I'm also hedging my bets on the new BSG-verse thing. I'll need more information before I decide to get excited, or not.

I know! I can't wait for context for how he found God in a bowl of soup.

I would guess bringing his twin in as a body double would be the easiest way for Bron and Ron to hate-lust after each other... ;)

My feelings exactly. The format and the fact that it was a bunch of creative people getting together and doing something independent and for fun really enhanced the blog's appeal. I'm sure it will be funny however it turns out, but I was kind of looking forward to it being online.

I definitely wouldn't want New Caprica. I have a feeling they'd frak that up and really take away from the existing series.
I'd pick either the cylon war or immediately post-cylon war. There could really be some interesting psychological issues to explore post-cylon war.

kappamaki33 March 22 2010, 00:53:41 UTC

My guess is that if it happens, you'll get your wish. Cylon War is the natural story to tell, especially since I'm sure it'd be tough to get a lot of the BSG actors back at this point.

More fic!!! Yay! It sounds like a great idea!

And Enver! *off to look at him*

kappamaki33 March 22 2010, 00:54:47 UTC

Hopefully soon!

I know! I knew I liked him a lot--the fact that he has this sort of sense of humor just cemented my actor!crush. ;)

daybreak777 March 22 2010, 01:13:47 UTC

Sadly, the vid was pulled when I checked it yesterday. No Enver. :-(

kappamaki33 March 22 2010, 02:03:11 UTC

It wasn't pulled--it *premieres* tomorrow. They just set up the website early. My love for his sense of humor, right now, is derived from the interview where he explains what it's all about.

lls_mutant March 21 2010, 18:55:22 UTC

Given that that was my prompt over at lgtbfest, I'm biased. :) I'd so love to see that!!!

I might have to pick the Shepherd Book comic up. I'm dying to know his backstory.

I'm kind of with puszysty that I don't really want to see New Caprica. I mean, I do, but at the same time, I don't want them to wreck some of the ideas in my head.

I'm guessing they won't be able to get a lot of the bigger actors back, although I could be wrong. I wonder if they're going to do a comic book series or a webseries or something.

I actually would like to see some of the stories on other ships, myself. I think that would be interesting. But to tell the truth, I kind of have mixed feelings on the whole idea. I kind of felt like Ron lost his fire by the end, and I'd hate to see what could happen unless he's really into it. But then, I AM enjoying Caprica, so.... we'll see.

kappamaki33 March 22 2010, 01:08:36 UTC

It's all outlined already. ;) This is the LAST BUNNY for awhile, though. Hear that, bunnies? You've been warned.

Yeah, I suppose I'd like to see more NC because I like writing NC, but maybe it would end up causing more problems than providing interesting new tidbits if there was new canon there.

I got the feeling they were talking another tv-movie-like thing, a web series, or a combination of the two--I have no basis for this, but it seems like the sort of thing Syfy might try. My hope is that they'll only do something if they genuinely feel there are more stories to tell, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see!

lls_mutant March 22 2010, 02:12:21 UTC

Eeee!!!!! Even if it's sad, I can't wait to see it.

I haven't plowed through the prompts yet, because going through all the comments is hard and last time, I pulled my prompt from the Any Fandom category anyway. But I'd really like to do something for that one again. I kind of want to do something with Cain and Hoshi this time, and her sort of mentoring him in some way. (Plus, that can fit into my Struggles Make You Stronger arc ;) ) I also have an idea I'd love to kind of deal with, but I'm not sure how to word the prompt (and I'd so deal with in the Space Between Us universe), of someone just not getting that being raped is still being raped even if you're gay, and that doesn't in any way make it better because you like to bottom in a consensual, normal relationship.

Yeah, my basic thought on New Caprica is "no more Sweet!Eights!!!) If they want to add to canon in ways I approve of, I am happy :) Otherwise, don't mess it up worse!!

:)

kappamaki33 March 25 2010, 03:45:27 UTC

Yeah, I only hunted through the first few pages, then spotted that prompt and decided I didn't need to look any further. ;) Though puszysty did do a Strachey movies prompt that is tempting but I know I don't have time for. I hope somebody runs with it.

You really need to do that "Space Between Us" fic (I'm thinking this is the same one as Zarek and Hoshi go to the support group, right?), even if you don't find a prompt at the fest that fits it. I know I'd read it!
