Introducing, the fandom event of the year, the Mary Sue Off! Today's contestants are Rose Tyler, of Doctor Who fame, and of course, the Mary Sue herself, Bella Swan, of Twilight!
And there you have it! Two of the best--or is that worst?--Mary Sues in the biz, duking it out for supremacy right here! Who will win? Which Mary Sue will be the victor? And really, who will care?
I've been officially trolled! For the first time ever! And by a Twilight fan!
I feel so proud right now. I pissed someone on the internet off! I wonder if she was crying when she wrote it? The giant red font suggests extreme emotional distress. I hope she was crying. In my head, she was.
This is coming a little late, but writing Hellboy/Liz smut while sitting in the living room with your entire family on Thanksgiving is probably a little inappropriate.
So in closing, I really liked this episode. Just as I've really liked every episode of this mini-season (with the exception of the last few minutes of the last episode, because Jack/Juliet is TEH EWWW). I'm not realy for it to end.
Also, Eli Stone is just a cute, fun show. But I tell you what, I'll be puh-issed if something happens to Patti next week!
I just watched an old episode of Scrubs, where Turk proposes to Carla like, six bazillion times. The best part about the whole episode was how JD ran around with sparklers yelling "Whooooo!" TWICE.
Ok, so I'm finally watching season 3 of SGA. Yes, yes, I know. I bought the DVD set a couple of weeks ago, but first I had to rewatch season 2. But before I rewatched season 2 I had to rewatch season 1, so I ended up marathoning the first two seasons in what little spare time I have.
Anyway. This preview for the apparent SG1 movie there's gonna be? Um, let me get this straight: they kick MY ELIZABETH off HER SHOW so that fucking AMANDA TAPPING--who has had TEN YEARS ON SG1--can have more screen time, and they're giving SG1 a fucking MOVIE?! That sucks!
No, I'm not bitter at all. Not in the least. SGA, after this season, we are through. I am totally breaking up with you.
[ETA] Elizabeth rocks like woah in No Man's Land. Have I mentioned that I really love Torri Higginson? Because I do. Like, a lot. Also, why are all the Wraith-turned-humans so friggin' hot? Because they are so, so yummy.
Come to think of it... most of the Wraith as Wraith are pretty hot.
I'm watching the season premiere of Stargate Atlantis now. I shouldn't be, because I am a whole season behind, but I am. I just have one word to say, and when you read it you should infuse as much astonishment and anger into it as you can: Elizabeth!! Why is it always my favorite character?
So I'd just like to give a shout-out to the writers of that show: hey, guys, FUCK YOU! I hate you all.
But by watching this, I did probably just save about fifty buck, since I won't be buying this season when it comes out on DVD.
And hey, since when does Amanda Tapping have enough hair to pull it back?
So, I'm just going to hang out in here till it's over. I officially don't care about this show anymore. I'm tired of my favorite characters biting it.
Ok, so I finished Kingdom Hearts II. It kind of annoys me that like, everyone and their brother has a Keyblade. That aspect of the secret ending bugged me to no end. The Keyblade was coolest when Sora and Mickey were the only ones who had one.
Kairi is really obnoxious. I'm all about the Sora/Riku.
So I've been overdosing on Kingdom Hearts lately. I'm almost finished with KH2--I'm leveling up like crazy, trying to put off what I am sure is going to be a truly terrifying fight with Sephiroth--and I'd really like Chain of Memories when this one is over. It has also kind of inspired me to try to play Final Fantasy too, which I never really felt the burning desire to do before.
Anyway. My point is this: if I was ever not sure of my status as a huge geek, I am now. Because of KH2, I am now totally all over Cloud/Sephiroth. So not only am I willing to like, jump into videogame fandom, I'm apparently going to do it as a slashwhore.
Wow, so Harry Potter comes out tonight. I probably won't read it till sometime next week, though. I've been very good about not trying to find spoilers (actually, that's because I'm pretty sure I know what happens, and I just might still be desperately holding out hope that I'm wrong), and I even haven't tried to find any of the "leaked" copy in the oh, ten or so minutes that I've known about it. Yes, I know, I live under a rock, I don't care. This year I have too much of a life to go around trying to find out every detail of the book without ruining it.
And that's all I've got. I'm sure a million other people came to the same conclusions as I did. I wonder how it feels to Rowling to have written a series that is so damn predictable? Eh, they're wildly popular, so probably not too bad.

So I did this meme, and I was surprised that all but one of the pairings I love are het. When did I stop loving slash and femmeslash so much? Also, yes I am aware that I took this pretty seriously, but it was fun psychoanalyzing my ships.
SIX SHIPS I LOVE 1. Mulder/Scully (X-Files, the CLASSIC ship, as well as my first) 2. Teyla/Elizabeth (Stargate Atlantis) 3. Matt/Audrey (Heroes) 4. Goren/Eames (Law & Order: Criminal Intent) 5. Ororo/Logan (X-Men) 6. Snape/McGonagall (Harry Potter)
THREE SHIPS I LIKED BUT DON'T ANYMORE 7. Sam/Janet (Stargate SG1) 8. Tara/Spike (Buffy) 9. Sun/Jin (Lost)
THREE SHIPS I DON'T LIKE 10. Sara/Grissom (CSI) 11. Jean/Logan (X-Men) 12. Sheppard/McKay (Stargate Atlantis)
TWO SHIPS THAT I AM CURIOUS ABOUT, BUT DON'T ACTUALLY SHIP 13. Claire/Peter (Heroes) 14. Tia Dalma/Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean)
Ok, I wrote the outline to this while the episode was airing. Now let’s hope I can get my thoughts together enough to pull the outline into an actual review.
So yeah, this episode was great. That thing that they had in the first season? The thing that made you lean forward in your seat and get mad because of commercial breaks and wait anxiously for the next new episode and that’s been missing for a while now, even though the show is still good? This episode had that. It’s totally caught my interest for next season, which I will be very impatiently waiting for now.
And this has nothing to do with LOST, but the commercial with the little boys with backpacks dancing like dorks in the hallway? AWESOME.
You know what I would really like to see next season? More people without powers. One of the reasons I love Audrey's character so much, aside from the fact that I just adore Clea DuVall, is that she was the balance to Matt's power. She was the one who stopped him from going off all half-cocked and kept reminding him that he needed something more to go on than hearing a thought. I loved Zach because he was the person Claire leaned on for normalcy and support when she was coming into her powers. Ando I love because he's the encouragement Hiro needs to keep going. I don't even need to start on why Mohinder is awesome. If you haven't figured out why he rocks, there's something wrong.
I was going to say something nice about Janice Parkman here, too, but after rewatching Unexpected, I realized that I really just don't like her character. It's more than just that I love Matt to tiny pieces, and have an interest in Matt/Audrey, it's that she's an obnoxious character. I was kind of disappointed, too, because I'd half way convinced myself that she could be a good character and I just hadn't given her enough of a chance. But it turns out that I don't like her at all. Oh well.
I guess I might as well add here that I don't really know why everyone hated Simone so much, aside from the fact that lots of people wanted Peter/Claire and Simone was in the middle of that. I liked Simone. She could have been a good character if they hadn't killed her.
Gee, I wish I didn't have such bad writer's block. Here's something I did instead of fic:
- Bold all of the following TV shows which you've ever seen 3 or more episodes of in your lifetime. - Italicize a show if you're positive you've seen every episode of it. - If you want, add up to 3 additional shows (keep the list in alphabetical order).
(I added Xena, because that was the first show I ever read fic for, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Lost World, and Wishbone. Whatever happened to that show?)
And that about sums it up. I loved that episode. It left me staring at the screen with my mouth hanging half open. Here's to hoping next week is as good--because I am seriously curious as to what that little girl can do that is so important.
[ETA] I'm really confused by all the people who are pointing out the fact that killing Sylar won't stop the bomb. First of all, how do we know that? Peter is just now getting control of all the powers he's leeched from other people, but for a while there, he was taking powers without even realizing it, and had no control over how they were used or when. But they weren't going berserk constantly, so who can say that that's what happens to detonate him? What if Sylar is the one who provokes him into exploding? So even though Sylar isn't the one who explodes, as everyone in Five Years Gone seemed to believe, he could still be the one to detonate the bomb, so to speak. I don't like referring to Peter as a bomb. It's weird. Anyway, my point is that we just don't know that Sylar isn't responsible for the explosion, even if he isn't the one that does the exploding. Second, who cares if killing Sylar won't stop the bomb? Does that mean that he shouldn't be dealt with? Sylar is an extremely powerful, extremely dangerous mutant (I also don't like referring to everyone with an ability as a 'hero'), and he needs to be neutralized. Killing Sylar should be, I think, just as much of a priority as stopping Peter from exploding. And that's my two cents.
