30 Days of TV meme - Day 6
Day 06 - (favorite episode): Citizen Joe Oh man, I hate these questions. I can never come up with an all-time favorite episode of ever. So I free-associated it, and the first one that popped into my head was Stargate SG-1’s Citizen Joe. Citizen Joe went right into my top ten favorite episodes. Maybe top five. Stellar twist on the clip show, ( Read more... ) -

Me? I'm just a figment of the imagination, apparently.

We Don't Need More Female Superheroes
Wishing for more female superhero movies is kind of like longing for more Sex and the City knockoffs with all-male casts. It’ll never work and it’s not because of sexism or Hollywood bias or whatever rabble ( Read more... ) -
You can hide under a rock, but I guarantee they're already waiting for you there.
Looks like there's another round of OTW criticism with Rebecca Tushnet's recent interview on NPR, and once again one of the main themes of the criticism I'm seeing is that OTW is taking fandom and fanfic public, making visible a subversive and underground community ( Read more... ) -

One of the drawbacks of actually feeling healthy again is that I occasionally forget that, "Oh, hey, dumbass, you may feel great, but you still have that whole chronic illness that makes you not breathe when you do things like shovel the driveway in below freezing weather." So. Actually feeling good enough and pain-free enough to shovel? AWESOME ( Read more... ) -
We interrupt your regularly scheduled broadcast for for some eye-rolling.
Things that amuse me (in the bitchy cynical way) about the ongoing "OTW is claiming fandom in the name of wimminz!" wank: How the phrase "predominately female community" in "We value our identity as a predominantly female community with a rich history of creativity and commentary" gets rephrased EVERY.

Someone, somewhere is paying for your free lunch.
This started off as a comment in surrealphantast's lj, in reference to synecdochic's post over here, and snowballed into something that desperately needs far more emphasis and exposure.I swear that fandom needs a welcoming packet that includes the text of the First Amendment and a very blunt explanation of constitutionally protected speech and censorship and a big, bold ( Read more... ) -
Things that have irritated me of late.
- The panic over LJ's new sponsored content thing (context here and here). The issues of miscommunication among the Six Apart staff and the way things are being communicated to users are valid points of concern, but why are people expecting Six Apart to protect fandom from big media?

Because it really is all about Sam.
Help! I'm being seduced by Sam and Cameron as a pairing. It's largely the fault of these two fics: Recovering the Satellites and ColorblindThough no amount of seduction will get me to refer to them as Sam/Cam. I have my limits, people ( Read more... )
