Before the BBC announced RTD2, he repeatedly expressed interest on twitter. Now, my dream British tv show for JMS to do would actually have been Blake's 7 (as in, a reboot - come on, the Excalibur already looks like the Liberator, and Anna Grant says hello to Anna Sheridan, so clearly he likes the original), but undoubtedly it would also be ( Read more... )

State of my own stories: assignment: recipient hasn't commented yet, but nearly everyone else vocal in the tiny online fandom has, so I'm pleased as punch. Treat: recipient loves it, but not many other people seem to have read it so far. We'll see. Consider the invitation to guess and get a drabble on the subject of your choice if guessing ( Read more... )

Day 23 - Most annoying characterDisclaimer first: like so many things, annoyance is in the eyes of the beholder. One person's much beloved character is another person's well of irritation, and I know I sometimes feel absurdly hurt reading my favourites torn to shreds by internet friends, so I apologize in advance.

1.) Chakotay from Star Trek: Voyager.
Why is he annoying? ( Spoilers for ST: Voyager ensue. )

I'm answering this from the ideal assumption I could resurrect some of these directly after they were cancelled, i.e. with the same writers/actors/producers available instead of bound by other commitments, aged or died.

1) Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. Because it was, hands down, the best show in the last two years, smart, with ( Read more... )

I've been rewatching some Crusade episodes for my matrithon story, and aside from filling me with nostalgia for the spin-off that couldn't, this also reminded me of a curious phenomenon Crusade shares with Babylon 5 and Torchwood as far as I'm concerned. Or, to put it differently, what do Galen, Marcus Cole and Ianto Jones have in common? They're incredibly ( Read more... )

From lizamanynames:

Things have been tough and little chaotic for everyone here lately and I think a little praise pointed in the direction of the wonderful people that offer fandom a distraction from RL, even for just a few minutes each day, will help each of us feel a little bit better and put a smile on someone's face ( Read more... )
