And I just played the commentary on The Pretender's S1 finale, "The Dragon House." It was reasonably good, although I didn't find it nearly as interesting as the one on the pilot episode, which was more about Jarod's character and about setting the whole series up. I will nevertheless pass along some of the more interesting bits:

( Somewhat spoilery for the episode )

I bet you all thought that now that I'm finally finished making my way through the entirety of The Pretender, you weren't going to see any more comment posts from me on the subject, huh? Well, ha! You forgot about the commentaries and extras, which I'm only just now getting around to watching ( Read more... )

Apparently, people like crossovers. Really, I shouldn't be surprised.

Well, we'll see. I may not have any actual story ideas, but it does seem like pretty much everything I watch, some part of my brain thinks it should have a Pretender crossover. Today I was watching an episode of Forever Knight, and developed a sudden, overwheming desire for ( Read more... )

I know, I know. I have been around LJ surprisingly little of late. This is largely because last week was a giant, sucking abyss of sleep deprivation and circadian fucked-upedness like you would not believe. Fortunately, the pattern of my days and nights seems to be settling down into something vaguely approaching normal now, at least for some ( Read more... )

So, I quickly came to realize that reading Pretender fanfic in large, concentrated doses was not terribly good for my brain and decided to intersperse it with the reading of actual books. Now that I've started it, though, it suddenly occurs to me that perhaps Bujold's Mirror Dance may not exactly have been the best choice for this particular ( Read more... )

So, apparently I've now started dreaming about The Pretender.

I blame the virtual season 5 for this one. I've started reading it after somebody recced it to me on rebuilding_sl27, and I'm enjoying it. It's uncannily like suddenly having new episodes, and so far it's displaying considerably more sense and sanity than the movies. But it's also cranking the ( Read more... )

Since the Pretender movies never actually got around to resolving anything, I have decided to invent my own sequel, which goes something like this: ( Spoilers and silliness! )

By the way, that video made me realize... ( Spoilers for Island of the Haunted! )

Nobody has recced me any Pretender stuff yet, but that's OK. I'm finding it by myself. Like this video about the Parker family, which made me laugh my ass off. Bwahahahaha! (WARNING: Serious spoilers right up through the end!)

(By the way, the Parkers? Hands down the most twisted, messed-up family on television ever. No contest. Seriously, I ( Read more... )

And, OK, since I now am officially done with The Pretender (except for watching the DVD extras, which really don't count), tell me, people: Where da fic at? If you've got it, rec it! Fic, vids, meta... paper dolls... I don't care! I've been holding off for ages on seeking out anything fannish for this show, because it's so damned problematic ( Read more... )
