If RayK's hair met Shep's hair, in how many ways would they fall in love?
I didn't really like the episode. Okay, so I did, and I didn't. I think I would have liked the episode completely, if not for the one bad thing that I think overshadowed all the potential goodness of the episode.
Elizabeth. I wasn't unhappy that she chose to resort to torture on someone she knew and disliked. I was unhappy that she chose to do it after sharing a glance with Shep. I think that undermines her motivation. It makes it seem like she made that decision after her big huge crush said he thought it was cool. And that bugs me, because Elizabeth is a powerful woman, and while I understand that they've become friends, obviously, I find it disrespects her character to have him nod and then have this huge struggle inside her just kind of go flat. It was out of character, imho. Her character deserves more than that.
I have to question if they wanted us to be on her side. It reads like they don't, like they're questioning her as a leader, but the way the scenes were played, I think we weren't supposed to be on ponytailguy's side.
Then again, there was Rodney and John old-married couple, Rodney/John twin gestures, Radek hating children, and Radek with face paint and braids on. So can I honestly complain? The joy felt from each of those things was great and strong and virile.
Vidding -- 1:51 on Due South vid finished. And by finished, I mean it's on the time-line, but is definitely not set in stone, and will change many many times. But I'm starting to see the shape I wrote in my notes slowly evolve, and now I'll be able to find what works and what doesn't.
Writing -- I hate WIPs. I think 'Swamps' needs to be swallowed in one gulp to make any kind of impact. I can't believe I've gotten into the WIP habit. *smacks hand* So to preserve the story's impact, and to get OUT of that bad habit, I'm going to post it all at once, when the whole thing is written. No more WIPs for me.
Right now I'm working on tomorrow's entry for vidder_weekly, and toying with the outline of a new article, for website/comm news, but not sure if I'll have the time. Also, have latest version of DS vid building in the background somewhere, waiting to be played until it is dead.
But that's only until twelve, when I'm going to watch the repeat of last week's Supernatural, and pretend it doesn't make me cry. Because it does...--n't. It doesn't.
