Quotedump
(I did not pay enough attention to collecting quotes in July! What if I catch up with the current day and run out of pre-stored quotage? I have CONCERNS, people.)
Oh, world. You're so big. And I really thank this show for letting me see so much of you as people run by you as quickly as possible while yelling. --Miss Alli on The Amazing Race
Dammit, show! Don't jiggle my sleeping biological clock! --vonnie_k on Friday Night Lights
Bob: vee_fic's marvellous coinage for broadly gen fic that may mention relationships, but isn't about them. I gather she's now trying to change the name to something more serious, but that's no fun. --rydra_wong
Well anyway, there’s, like, this big riot with ninjas in a beautiful town square, and the local authorities are not responding because Buffy’s people buy out towns and castles that could be making wads of cash off the tourist trade, but wouldn’t you rather sell your historical landmarks to a bunch of scruffy twenty-somethings, and the Folgers guy? --siinik on the Buffy comic
And the uncomfortable hugging at the end--I found myself amused by the thought that everyone might have hugged Jack when they found out, that perhaps he let them stay in Pegasus because he didn't want any of them on Earth, hugging him. But Ronon could pick him up off the ground, and McKay could say, "Hah! I totally hug better than Carter!" and Teyla could do a forehead touch thing, and Carson could, perhaps, shed a manly tear into Jack's shoulder, and John...eh, okay, fine, I can't get John to hug Jack. "So, uh, yeah, thanks," is about all I can do. --minnow1212 on The Return Part 2
I started playing in the beta of Lord of the Rings Online: The Shadow of Angmar over the last few days, a MMORPG in the style of World of Warcraft (which I tried and wasn't as entranced by as my husband and friends). I've played a few console RPGs, but this my first experience with the "massively-multiplayer" computer game.
[SCENE: EXT. I am driving A. to work at noon on Saturday, which is when the farmer's market is held near the crowded downtown.]
Me: I'm liking LOTRO better than WOW, because I relate to the world's setting and it's really pretty, but it's still driving me nuts because of all the people in my space.
A: Well, it's fun to play with your friends.
[I make a sudden left when there's a gap in the crazy weekend traffic.]
Me: Yeah, I know, I'm having a good time chatting with [school friend A.], but people suck. Like we were all waiting for this thing to respawn for a quest, and then the next person would kill it and get the XP. I was waiting for my turn and helping other people so the line would move faster, and when I had my back turned for one second when I was next, the thing respawns and some little bastard of a dwarf comes up and kills it. Like, hello, there's a line, buddy!
A: That happens in WoW. You're killing off the last guy and someone sneaks in and takes the treasure chest behind your back.
[We stop at a stop sign. The girl to my right rolls through and makes a left across the intersection.]
Me: Hey, wait your turn! See, this is why I hate things that are multiplayer! --sophia_helix
When Landry was dying and Sam was sitting there crying, I was actually muttering "No grief. I'm feeling no grief for this man. I don't care how many sweaters you stick him in, he is and always will be CREEPY." --miera_c on Unending
A couple months ago, I was in line at the coffee house we meet at for my writing group. They keep a Magic 8-Ball on the counter, and in a moment of whimsy, I picked it up and asked in my mind, "Will there ever be another vid or fic recs post on Live Journal that isn't about Supernatural?" The answer was, "Ask again later." So, I did, a few weeks ago, and it said, "Reply hazy, try again." I think the Magic 8-Ball is fucking with me, but I also think it knows fandom. --gwyn_r
Ten freakin' years and they've never come across a female writer whose abilities rival Damian Kindler's? Just bite me, fellows. --volaremn on Stargate SG-1
Let that be a lesson in safety, kiddies. Never publish your address in your comic book. --hsapiens on .07%
I think there should be a Claude-Mr. Bennet-Angela Petrelli encounter in the final eps and that it should be awesome. This is my earnest finale wish. Also, New York should not blow up, because I would find it traumatic. --coffeeandink on Heroes
Divide and Conquer - Nothing like a little fandom flash point to firmly match an episode with a nonsensical title with the happenings in your head. --barkley on titling
The Serpent's Venom - Destined to be remembered as one of a long line of "The Serpent Had Lunch on Tuesday or something like that" episode titles. --barkley on titling
Poor Niki. She lost her family and wound up in a strip club with the superpowered equivalent of season two Angel. If that isn't tragic, I don't know what is. --greensilver on String Theory
(My favorite part of that quote is that it took me nearly a week to realize that hey, wait, season two Angel HAD superpowers. Apparently greensilver and I both mostly remember him for his superpower of Mope. --K)
I maintain they should keep Mohinder around as an unfailing villain detector. As soon as Mohinder declares he's become great friends with X and deems X utterly trustworthy, one of the Heroes must shoot X on the spot. --selenak
OMG, Welsh was totally invented to say "Fuck you" to the English. --mtgat on the ridiculousness of Welsh
