New (old) fandom?

Dec 27, 2010 13:39

So I've been watching The Sentinel, even though a long while back I watched part of the first episode and decided I wouldn't like it. Turns out, I must have been in a bad mood or didn't watch enough, because I'm five episodes in and I'm enjoying it a lot. If you have no idea what this show is, just know that it's a 90's cop show that's reportedly ( Read more... )

slash, fandom, police husbands, space husbands, due south

I think it's kind of awesome that you seem to be ending up in every fandom I have ever been in. Now go read all of Francesca/Speranza's TS stories. And, um, I can probably get you more recs if you want.

We apparently have excellent taste. :D I think half the reason I really wanted to make The Sentinel work was just to read Francesca/Speranza's work, lol. I always finish the canon first, though, so after I'm done watching the whole show, it's onto her stories and then I'll be hitting up you and everyone else for recs.

You're gonna watch it all first? Uh, okay. Good luck and remember that you can pretty much fastforward all the chase scenes. (I would say you really only need to watch, um, the ones with Blair's mother, the one with Jim's family ("Remembrance?" I think? No, wait, there was one with his brother too), the one with Incacha, some of the angst about Blair's dissertation plotline, Sentinel Too (both parts), The Sentinel By Blair Sandburg, and you've got about everything fandom will ever mention in a story. That I can remember, anyway ( ... )

Yep, I watch everything when I'm even halfway convinced that I'll be interested in the show or fandom. I actually do like action scenes, and I'm doing my crocheting (that I've put off for weeks) while watching, so most of the time I'm only half paying attention anyway so it never really gets boring. Yay multitasking!

Yep, I'm being a pirate, I have no shame. I don't know, I'm much looser about tv shows because really most of them air free and I'm honest when I say that I never watch commercials, bless DVR. I do get dvds sometimes, mostly whenever I'm gifted with them or if I am totally in love with a show.

And ooh, I've never heard of the archive, and now I know where my future time will be wasted well-spent.

I totally get what you mean by being spoiled by Star Trek. If someone had told me about how slashy that show was when I was like, 12, I would've turned Trekkie right then and there. And I'm seconding the 852 Prospect rec; there's lots of yummy stuff there, like Dasha's Dorset County series (starts with I Still Believe), and all her other stuff.

If you want another uber slashy show.... snakelights April 1 2011, 02:03:15 UTC

Starsky and Hutch
where again to keep it cannon even the gen is vaugely slashy...

(For a modern one the other one being season 1 merlin BBC)
