Sanctuary - 309 - Vigilante

[lavenderseaslug]

There is a wrestling award called a Slammy. And it was compared to the Tonys, the Oscars and the Grammys. And this concludes my weekly update on the WWE.

Also SyFy showed enough commercials for IceQuake that I started to think, "You know, maybe I will watch this." Advertising schemes, they work on me.

I remember that - I was wondering if there was any significance to it other than knowing one of Helen's aliases. I've read several (non-professional; not like you're not a pro or anything, but to my knowledge you don't work for anything like TV Guide) review of "Bank Job" where people flail about that and have never been able to figure out why.

(I had the curtains open earlier today so I could watch it and I was far more entertained by watching her watch the snow. She's seen it before, but I guess it was more interesting this time. And hey - did you hear about the Metrodome ceiling collapsing?)

ETA: I do not trust any character on this show whose first scene is not with Helen Magnus. It's been a good rule of thumb thus far, so I suspect that FBI Barbie will not be a helpful person in the future.

This show is so steampunk in disguise. Sometimes I think it doesn't try very hard to hide it. The keystone being some gilded metal thing with gears sealed the decision for me (and again - do not call the thing a keystone if it is not actually a stone; I am okay with modifying the definition of "stone" in order to preserve cinematic interest but it has to at least have a rock in it somewhere, otherwise it's a gilded metal thing with gears that gives of 2.2whatevers of gamma radiation. Sorry, pet peeve, since I was fully expecting a search for something geologic in nature). I forgot to mention that I also loved the man on a Segway, especially since John and Helen (in all her radiation sickness glory) could quite easily keep up with him.

Christopher Heyerdahl is credited as "Bigfoot" on IMDB. I do not believe he has an official name. Unfortunately. Because "Big Guy" does not fit well with the fic writing style this show encourages. "Stay off Twitter." Truth.

If only TV Guide would publish my very sophisticated reviews. They don't know what they're missing. Anyway, I have no idea why people flail about it. I barely know why I flail about it.

(This is why I want a cat/yard for a cat to play in. And yeah. I watched YouTube videos and everything. And I love that all the news articles are freaking out, like, WHERE ARE THE GIANTS AND THE VIKINGS GOING TO PLAY ON MONDAY! WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO SOCIETY IF THIS GAME DOESN'T HAPPEN? I also feel like when I go to MN, I will take the LightRail to the Metrodome and just look at it for a bit.)

That is a good rule. I think I will adopt it as my own.

The segway. I will love that forever. Really. Anyway, I, too, thought the keystone would be something more geological, but whatever. After the Avatar Council, I'm trying not to be too fussed about what they name things on this show.

I think I will just refer to him as "Helen's hirsute companion" or something. Man, I really need to work on this fic more.

I would buy TV Guide if you wrote for them. I do not pay any cable company any sort of money to provide me with programming, so it would be an otherwise completely useless investment. Your reviews are that awesome.

(I feel that if Hera ever got outside in the snow one of two things would happen: a - she scampers off because she's incredibly skittish, never to be seen again; b - she looks up at me with this 'scuse me, but just what the hell are you doing? expression like she does when I refuse to get out of bed at 5:02 in the morning just to feed her. Society will prevail, as it usually does, if this game does not happen. Football is not sociologically important. Well, it probably is, but someone else can write that article.)

No character whose first interaction with the Sanctuary staff has been with someone other than Magnus has ever been one of the good guys. I like Will and all, but dude hasn't been laid in a couple of years so he's probably too distracted by straight teeth and blonde hair and Magneto Tesla unbuttoning things to realize that she's a bit too eager. Though I would greatly like to know what was in that report he gave her, if only to know ahead of time what is going to come back and bite him in the ass.

After the Avatar Council, I'm trying not to be too fussed about what they name things on this show. This is true. I really should move on with my life.

Go back in time? If you back up by fifty years or so, you don't even need to include him.

sorry for the edits; I am apparently a moron tonight

Well, shucks. Maybe someday my brilliance will be recognized outside of the LJ-verse.

(Hera just sounds like the best. In that way that cats that think you aren't living up to their expectations are the best.)

I'm trying to remember how Kate showed up - I know Magnus was involved in that whole thing, and I'm too lazy to look it up, so I'll just assume Magnus was the first person to interact with her. And as nighttones pointed out, Will actually did the sexytimes with Clara, so it's only been a year, at most for him. And Magneto! That's so wonderful.

Maybe so. I was trying to do this jumping around thing that isn't really working anyway, so I should probably scrap it. Or just leave him out. That's usually my other solution.
