The Huge 2009 Picspam

[meddow]

I wanted to do a big 2009 picspam, but could not decide on a format. Then and idea struck me: since I'm forever lamenting entertainment awards' inability to make the right decision, why not do my picspam in an award sort of format, with the awards categories themselves completely made up and arbitrary so I could just picspam things I liked this

*flaaaaaaaaaaiiiiils* How did I manage to only become LJ friends with you in like the last month or whatever?

I was one of those people who did not want this movie, but now I'm completely delighted that the reboot worked - not only did it work, Star Trek reignited the fandom and pretty much took over my flist for a long while this year, it also brought back strong childhood memories, which lead to me watching a lot of Voyager, discovering the wonder of Deep Space Nine, reignited my adoration of Picard and hell, I even discovered I like Kirk just a little bit, occasionally (only in The Wrath of Kahn and The Voyage Home).

ME TOO ZOMG. Except I didn't watch any Voyager because I ran out of summer. But yeah, DEEP SPACE FUCKING NINE. <33333

My brother spent most of my visit trying to convince me I need to watch BSG. I'm not sure when I'll have the time, but I do intend to someday! I'll probably watch Being Human at some point too. I do have a big old crush on Aidan Turner because of Desperate Romantics. ^^

And yeah, THE THICK OF IT and IN THE LOOP and TORCHWOOD (a lot of my friends are of the "THAT WAS SHIT GODDAMMIT RTD I HATE YOU FOREVER" opinion, but I persist in thinking it was brilliant television even if it hurt like hell to watch). And ASHES TO ASHES! And Doctor Who, of course. I'm super-nervous about tomorrow's episode, both because I'm afraid it's going to suck and because I know it's going to make me cry for hours. But I'm super-excited for the new season; I think the show is so ready for a fresh start.

You do need to watch BSG and Being Human, although I only got around to watching the former due to a few months of unemployment this year - it is really hard finding the time. BSG actually works really well as a companion to Star Trek as it's written by the same guy behind DS9 and is actually something of a response to failings of Voyager. I actually need to find a bit of time and watch the entirety of DS9 in order as I only watched a few episodes and out of order.

I don't understand people who say Children of Earth was bad. I mean, upsetting yes, but that doesn't mean it's bad. Have you seen that new Donna clip that's been released from End of Time? I nearly started crying. It's going to be tough tomorrow.
