my life is boring

[lyssie]

1. Watched part of an episode of Castle. Enough to discover Kate Beckett is Yet Another Cookie Cutter 'strong' woman with a stick up her ass who has no power, and is there to be an obstacle to the Awesome Male Lead who swans all over the place being an asshole. Ugh.

2. Have not watched either NCIS. Please try not to spoil me.

3. I was so bored at work today, I seriously contemplated the steps it would take to orchestrate an inter-fandom wank war. The difficulty would be getting innocent people involved who might be hurt, since it was really all in fun.

4. Finally managed to edit something for posting.

eta: 5. WHY IS THERE NOT A FIONA GLENANNE ACTION FIGURE? Or a Ziva. There should be a Ziva.

Huh. I should have known there was a reason I didn't watch past the pilot. Glad to know I made the right call.

An inter-fandom wank war? What fandoms?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

That is a.. two-minute reaction wherein I had a lot of eye-rolling...

And I do not know! Perhaps BSG vs Farscape vs SGs vs Firefly vs Star Wars vs Who.... Oh, it could be glorious.

Wait, so does that mean you changed your mind? lol.

That could be....interesting.....now I want to know what the steps you came up with are. heh.


Which Stargate series is better? I am taking a poll, to try to figure out which one to watch first.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

No? I just didn't exactly watch an entire episode.

And I am not asking the SG question!

[bluediamond421.livejournal.com]

So you like them both equally? lol.

(I discovered the fullscreen option! So my Sam/Kara video will be in fullscreen instead of widescreen. :D)

I have always meant to ask you, who is Avon and why do you ship him/her with Cally?

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

No. I go back and forth. SG had less women and less awful plots. Atlantis had more women and more marginalization of them. I categorically assume SGU is going to be shittastic.

(yay!)

Blake's 7. It's an old British SF show where they're thieves and resistance fighters and con men. Avon is the coldly-calculating computer expert; Cally is the telepathic resistance member with a deathwish. Together, they fight crime! Or at least blow Federation outposts up a bit.

[bluediamond421.livejournal.com]

Oh. Hmm. Should I not watch either of them? lol. (SGU is not even an option for me from what I have heard of it.)

(Also, I will finally have ICONS now, with the fullscreen clips!)

Ohhh, so it's not a crossover ship with BSG's Cally? That's what I was thinking. What about Cally/Leela (from Doctor Who, right?)? Which Cally is that? lol.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

I'd say... give 'em a chance? They aren't awful, and they're mindless popcorn fluff along the lines of Supernatural and Psych, really.

Cally/Leela is Cally from Blake's 7 and Leela from Doctor Who, yup. =D

eta: also, Avon would eat wee!Cally from BSG for breakfast, though he'd appreciate her electrical/mechanical skills.

[bluediamond421.livejournal.com]

Well, okay, maybe I will. Then I can read your fic about them, also, anyway. (I love your fics.)

Haha. Well, I did not know there was another Cally.

But it could be fun!

Ooh, let's throw Due South in there just... um... just BECAUSE.

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

YES.
