Tired. But plans!

Yesterday was a DAY. In that it was 24 hours filled with approximately 48 hours of social interaction, topped off with the sort of wheezing and splitting headache that reminds me not to hang out in smoky places

I thought the theme might be vampire!Nikola Tesla ala Sanctuary.

[omphale23]

It could be, if I knew anything about Sanctuary? Also, I'm sort of disturbed if they made him a vampire just because he was Serbian. He'd be much better as the mad scientist who accidentally invents immortality while trying to find a way to avoid his gambling debts.

He is a mad scientist AND a vampire and immortal as well as immoral and he used to have a deeply homoerotical relationship with both John Watson (aka the REAL!Holmes) and Jack the Ripper. Also, he is in love with Samantha Carter Amanda Tapping's character.

This show is very bad and not the slightest bit sorry for it. An absolute delight to watch. You should try it.

[tricksterquinn]

...yup, pretty much what she said!

I was going to say: Well, I think they thought he was a bit superpowered to begin with, so... ok, the basic premise of the show is that five beffies at Oxford in the 18-mumbles decided to see what would happen if they injected themselves with ancient vampire blood. One became Nightcrawler possessed by Jack the Ripper, basically; one became genius-Sherlock-Holmes-and-Doctor-Watson all in one, one became the Invisible Man, Samantha Carter Amanda Tapping's character just got immortality, her preexisting BAMFiness, and to sex up various of her crazy beffies for the next 100 years and counting. Tesla wound up a vampire, now with some sort of ability to do spiffy electrical things directly, like with his hands.

Tesla is the best thing about that show. I wouldn't call him immoral as much as amoral, and he's the best thing about a show which also has Peter Wingfield. This is saying something, coming from me.

Ha yes, this. I always want to join book clubs but I'm stretched to my limit of unread-books-in-my-house versus available-time-in-2013, haha.

[omphale23]

Come join us! We can add some of your unread books to the list, too! (That's how we got the American Vampire one--it was already on Set's list, and the Vampire Nation one was on mine. Voila! Book club!)

Non-New-Year's Resolution is to read more books. So I might join the book club. Also, vampires are cool as long as they don't sparkle.

[omphale23]

\o/ \o/ (I promise there are no sparkly vampires in this pair of books. Or at least, no unironic ones.)
