maccadoleI should read through this post, but it's so long I won't ever get around to it. Maybe later. Ignore errors, or point them out!
Okay! Let's see.
I met a boy. He was nice. He lived in England. ... Well, lives there still.
He came to visit me in Sweden. It was strange. Before that I had a cleaning project going on with Mother. We also refurnitured her room, and redecorated it.
I also needed some space to deal with me, you know? That's why I happened to take another random break from the internet.
Pax Romana wasn't bad, but it was... it felt rushed. They've been hyping this Hollow Earth thing for most of the season now and then it comes down to this one episode. We hardly had time to explore the Hollow City! And... What was Adam's plan? I've watched it twice and I'm still confused. It felt mostly like a side-plot with him running around in the background getting some weapon... And it was all OH NO both this place and the whole surface will OH MY GOD DIE!!!! if we don't stop it...
And then. Nothing. What...?
Also eh! They randomly kill anyone, wth! I mean, excuse me. I have no idea how, but say a random stranger happened to end up there by an honest mistake. They'd totally kill you! How is that cool? It's not.
And the whole suppressing of abnormality. And "abnormal" is such a stupid word. Come up with a better one! But yeah, whatever. How was Helen so fine with everything?
Hangover was fun enough! i thought it'd be more fun. It was okay. Quite enjoyed it.
One Night was boring. Really boring. Too little of everyone. I enjoy random bottle episodes, sure, but I also really, really like episodes with a nice mix of everyone. Come on, more of that please! And more of Kate ALWAYS, jesus. She's so underused. Maybe not in this episode, no, but in general.
Anyway, more in a later post.
I... don't have much to say. Amazingness. Could be better, could be worse, most of it was really good. Strong opening, yet a little bleh in bits, and mostly it was a while since I saw it. Silence - so creepy! Not VERY very, but creepy. They didn't look pleasing exactly, but not super scary either.
But the whole thing with forgetting them when you look away? SUPER CREEPY OH MY GOD. I kept feeling like there was something behind me when I watched it, and then I ended up looping thoughts going "But if I look it obviously won't be anything there, but if there is and I looked and then looked back I'd forget it, so there could be something behind me, but there isn't, but maybe I only think that because I forgot and really something is behind me."
Pirate Amy always, lol <3
Eh! Great show. Always been a great show. I've always liked it a lot. But I'm randomly getting very into it now after like a gazillion seasons. Also eh! What with all the fanservice I'm starting to almost ship Destiel. I have no idea what's going on. I've seen little moments. I've slashed them for fun at times. I can't not, I have MAJOR slash goggles. But... Yeah, no, never shipped them for real. But it's sneaking up on me now. I've been searching for Dean/Cas vids for days now. I keep rewatching my four favorites. Eheheheh.
And it's making me want to rewatch the whole series. Halp!
But Eli though! Eli!
Seriously, argh! I was brutally biased and upset and anti, but I did watch this show. I tried it! I thought it was crap. Then I watched a bit more, just for the hell of it, then I stopped. Then I caught up when Daniel was going to show up. After that I stuck with it. I even liked two episodes at random! And then it started sneaking up on me and I could stand more characters than Eli. And then I liked them. And then one day... I realized I liked it. I like SGU. I have no idea how that happened! It did get better!
Something ironic about my realization was that days after it, I read this aritcle which said:
"You know that Stargate Universe is better now than it has ever been, and is even starting to win over some of the naysayers."
And I lol'd, because it's apparently true. I was living proof of that.
And so it ended. I had no idea about when they found out about the cancellation, or anything about anything, so I half-expected it to end with a cliffie, or completely unsolved, or just at random! I was prepared for the worst and hoped for the best. And the ending - although it doesn't tie up any major plot arcs, no - was an ending. It was beautiful, and well-made. ("To family!")
I do like all of them in their own way. I didn't want anyone to die or be left hanging in any way. But most of all... not Eli. And he had to be the hero.
Since he's been the one solid thing through the series, for me, it was painfully brilliant that he was the one to step up. He has done things in the past, but still never quite had the opportunity to do something THIS important. Well, important, yes. But... I don't know. Despite the amazingly brave things he's done in the past, I thought this act felt more selfless than any other. And I'm me, so of course I cried. I didn't bawl my eyes out or anything, but there was a tear or four.
My Eli. My wonderful, wonderful Eli.
The ship powering down... so beautiful. Him standing on the observation deck. And that smile...
Oh that smile.
AFJHDHSJFDFFGDD Eli...!
I'm in total rewatch mode. I want to rewatch random things like Tru Calling, and Hex. Things I watched SO MANY years ago. I'm currently rewatching White Collar and Firefly.
White Collar, seriously. Them. ... Seriously! OT3, though. Seriously.
I'm also steadily rewatching Legend of the Seeker, but since I finished that show not long ago, I'm taking it slow. I'm mostly waiting for Cara to show up. It's empty without her.
I also want to rewatch Angel. I've seen Buffy, what, six times or something. No, that's most likely a lie. But at least four! And Angel once. So yeah.
I also can't wait to see more The Walking Dead. It's SO not my thing at all... but that's why I'm so intrigued by it. Taking-over-the-world stuff really creeps me out! I hate that whole "omg we are the only people left" cliche.
And I watched it in a dark room, alone, for the dramatic effect. I tried to imagine myself in that universe, and really get invested.
It worked. So it's super creepy to watch. I know nothing of the comic either, so it's all new to me. I'm going to rewatch it before the next season starts. But that's a while to go.
I'd also like to rewatch Space: Above and Beyond. And Andromeda at some point! It's been years since I saw it.
Apart from that, not much to say. Oh, yeah, I attempted Vlog Everyday in April and got sick and stressed, so I didn't complete it. But I don't feel bad about it at all what with the circumstances. I'm going to try it next year again!
I feel good. I'm okay. How are you?
Oh, and yes! I had a question. I'm fairly entwined with the Sanctuary fandom, I'm active and stuff (apart from the last few weeks when I've been ill and busy), but I'm strangely not much for reading fic. So maybe that's part of why I've missed out, if there's anything to miss out on. But I was wondering, flist, does Sanctuary have mashup names? I know of Fate, but not more than that. And actually, I'm way out of the loop lately. I haven't even had time to watch promos for most episodes before they air. I know nothing of anything.
Anything I should know?
PLEASE update me! I feel like a sad, sad fan.
DFTBA

Date: 2011-05-12 06:01 pm (UTC)I'm not much of one for mashup names myself, but I do know that some people call Helen/Tesla Teslen and John/Helen Magnitt. That's about all I've seen, though I don't read a lot of Sanctuary fic either. It's strange.
Also, I concur with you on the Pax Romana/Hangover/One Night thing.
no subject
Date: 2011-05-12 06:11 pm (UTC)Now that you mention it I have seen Teslen around! No, more like some fan called herself a Teslenian.. Tes... Well, something along those lines, I forget!
Glad you agree! Then I'm not alone in my views.
no subject
Date: 2011-05-12 06:36 pm (UTC)I can't recall what the Teslans(?) call themselves either. idk, it's not on my (very lengthy and mostly cracky) list of ships I'm fond of.
Yeah, your views on those eps are shared by most everyone, it seems.

Date: 2011-05-12 09:12 pm (UTC)Not sure of other pairing name smushes. Though I have heard the Magnitt thing that
no subject
Date: 2011-05-14 02:44 pm (UTC)I ship them on and off, although my main ship is Helen/John... or... Magnitt, was it? Haha. I feel like I should know this. So I should keep track, anyway!
