[fandom: news] i haven't completely abandoned western fandoms ... yet D:

I'd apologise for this being late (again), but that's getting to be old meme. :/ It's a never-ending cycle! I post an update, think that I'll stay on top of things, things invariably get piled up, & then it takes me ages to get the next one written up. I guess I'll just post these things when I post 'em. *sigh*

Doctor Who & Torchwood are the

but I'm glad they're going through all of Henry's wives, LOL.
That's the first thing I thought of too. XD

The author of Pride & Prejudice & Zombies already has a new book in the works, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

So. Awesome. I'm still waiting for my copy of P&P&Z, but dude.. this guy is gonna be rolling in it ;)

[sigrun]

I hope to read his books someday, but I'm also really hoping that they make movies out of these. I'd love to see Elizabeth & Darcy fighting zombies while having relationship angst or Lincoln fighting vampires during breaks on the campaign trail. That'd be awesome!

I'm still an episode behind on Dollhouse, I've one of Fringe left to watch, and that's not including last week's and this week's! Argh!

Dollhouse hasn't been cancelled yet has it? :s

[sigrun]

Dollhouse hasn't been cancelled ... yet. I'm not optimistic on its renewal chances, but its death isn't as certain as it was initially feared -- the ratings are somewhat respectable.

But with all of FOX's tinkering & now their refusal to air a finished episode, ... I'm really just waiting on the DVD set now. :(

[bookofjude]

Thank god! :)

And yeah. This is one show that I will definitely be buying come DVD release time.

17 Again

[hiddenw]

OH WE SHALL SEE. I am marvelous at spotting inappropriate chemistry between family members. Jokes on them.

Actually, with the exception of Claire/Nathan (which is not my fault because have you SEEN Nathan?) I really do stay clear of parent/child pairings. I have my limits!

"But I would hope when you're watching the scene where I'm chasing after my father and asking him to play bedroom games with me that you're really creeped out. Because if you're not, you should consult a physician."

Hmmm, perhaps I should point MT to Buffy/Dawn fanfic that there almost certainly is out there? Just kidding. I have no desire to be flayed alive by fandom.

Re: 17 Again

[sigrun]

I thought it was amusing how the producers were actually worried about it! They were twisted enough to introduce the idea in the movie, but they don't want to give anyone any ideas. :P

Oh, you're preaching to the choir about Nathan. ;) I'm actually quite fond of Nathan/Claire/Peter myself...

Buffy/Dawn exists. I don't read it because, well, I'm that fond of either of them -- but, take it from me, it exists. :P

I wonder if a normal person will be creeped out by it. I'm nowhere near normal, so I have no frame of reference. XD

Fandom kind of warps a person, doesn't it? You find yourself not blinking over things you thought were pretty creepy not long ago. It becomes necessary to live in two modes when it comes to conversation: fandom and RL. If you're accidentally on fandom mode with RL people they will have you committed.

Actually, I do know Buffy/Dawn exists and not just because of Rule 34. I just didn't want to sound like a perv =P I read it once out of curiosity and I found it pretty squicky. Though I do ship Dawn with Spike and with Riley so who am I to talk?

[angelich]

That first headline made me crack up. But I'm confused as to why they are making a Primeval movie when it's a great TV show?

[sigrun]

I think Welsh folk are looking to the skies in hopes of spotting the TARDIS. XD

With the studios in question, I'm half-wondering if they're adapting Primeval into a movie because it's a great show -- that mainstream America has probably never heard of? BBC America & the SCI FI Channel are both specialised cable networks, so maybe they're counting on enticing the general public with a obscure dinosaur movie or something. :/

[angelich]

I just feel like they'd ruin it! Like I'm already reeling after what happened last episode. I don't think they'd be able to do it... I can't even fathom how! Cause I was thinking prequel, but the first episodes introduced everything perfectly. ack...
