Go look at your blog journal. Find the last Fandom-related thing you posted. The characters in that post are now your team-mates in the Zombie Apocalypse. How fucked are you?

Very, very fucked. Unless I get that crossover version--although I'd still have to deal with the cliquishness and there'd probably be some bizarre attempt to organize a ( Read more... )

This is all azarias's fault. We were talking, and she said something about how the Power Rangers got really cliquey after they became Rangers: they didn't hang out with people who weren't other Rangers or ex-Rangers, and when they did, they inevitably became Rangers.

But why make someone a tentacle alien if not for purposes of fucking?

It's good to know the Symbolic Pigeon from BSG is still getting work, I guess.

I also think I've finally pinpointed one of my major problems with this show: David Shepherd is Carrot Ironfoundersson played completely straight and utterly serious.

There's a reason that's a bad idea.

I would dearly love to know what it is so much of my friendslist sees in this, because I'm annoyed by the Smallville-esque 'subtleties', the way canonical homosexual is evil in the first episode (and I must agree: what freaking version of Jonathan and David have these people been reading?), and the fact that King Silas is 'evil' pretty much " ( Read more... )

It is not often that in my cynical expectations of TV, I am impressed by just how mind-bogglingly stupidly a show manages to end itself, so tonight I salute you, Ron Moore. That was really very fantastically moronic and so predictable we called it as soon as ( minor spoiler, of a sort )
