Yuletide Madness has gone live as well, and as it turns out, I got a treat there together with my two fellow Frederician Salonnières

Back to the Future

(whenever i want you) all i have to do: Lorraine in the original timeline. Sensitively written and not a little heartbreaking.

Galaxy Quest

Alexander versus Fandom: this, by contrast, is hilarious. And I remember all those different stages of fannish communication methods!

The great Sigourney Weaver turns 70 today. Like a great many viewers, I first encountered her as Ripley in Alien, and ensuing sequels. Think about the four movies of the franchise as you will - my own takes are on Alien and Aliens here and on Alien³ and Alien: Resurrection here -, I think there can be general agreement that SW never brought less ( Read more... )

I'm currently in Prague again (as enchanting as in April, though as then, I'm not here for sightseeing), so have little time, but did manage to browse throught this year's remixes. Here are some I especially enjoyed:

Buffy:

Letters never sent (The Crumbled Sheets RemixXander, trying to tell Jesse's parents what happened in the BTVS pilot. It's a ( Read more... )

Day 26 - Lots of Star Trek Parodies out there. Which do you dig?

The sinister Federation in Blake's 7 just happens to have the same insignia as the one in Star Trek, turned sideways, and in the s3 episode Deathwatch there's even a direct parody of the "space...the final frontier..." speech. More than one B7 fan has speculated that Star Trek is ( Read more... )

Just a first bunch, I still have so much more to read.

Breaking Bad:

These lifeless things: Skyler post show, looking back, trying to find a forward, with an emphasis on the Skyler and Marie relationship: as devastatingly intense as the show itself.

Dune: (Or rather, the tv version)

In the first days: Irulan and the twins. I've always had a ( Read more... )

More Yuletide. Incidentally, I haven't had the chance to watch either of the Christmas specials I want to watch yet - Doctor Who and Call The Midwife, that is - and might not get the chance until after New Year. Being with the family is tricky that way. But it does offer the occasional time to read! And thus, without further ado:

( Recs for Breaking Bad, Dexter, Galaxy Quest, The Last Unicorn, Psycho, Robot Series by Isaac Asimov, Sarah Jane Adventures and Watership Down )

For some recent, in recent days I got more spam on lj than I got otherwise in five years. Are we due for another breakdown?

Until then, have some links, both fanfiction and meta:

Prometheus:

Persephone . It's post-movie fic by legendary-in-several-fandoms Yahtzee, developing the complicated relationship between ( those characters alive by the end of the film )

5 greatest (or favorite) examples of breaking the fourth wall, or canon material going meta.

Sometimes it's very borderline, somewhere between meta-ness and fourth wall breaking, which are really not the same thing. (Incidentally, for Brecht readers: does fourth wall in breaking in tv shows count as episches Theater?) I find most overt fourth ( Read more... )

If you're looking for the archive itself to browse at your own leisure, here it is. This is just a first bunch of recs, more to come!
