Pimpernel

So, dude. OMG. The Scarlet Pimpernel, with Richard E. Grant: Really damn good.

First episode: Lee appears, and is NEKKID.

Second episode (Mademoiselle Guillotine): Dr.Baltar.

James Callis actually isn't all that bad an actor. Pity he had absolutely NO chemistry with the brunette playing his girlfriend. Unlike Helfer, she gave him no spark. Which says a lot for Helfer, really, she give Callis chemistry and goads him on to being good.

Neither of the two (in SP) sold me until near the end.

Callis' character, btw, was a rebel, who was into God, King, and Country. He believed God Was On His Side.

Cue hysterical laughter.

Because, um, yeah.

Mr. I Am God's Bitch...

Am now eagerly waiting to see who from BSG is in episode three...

*FLAILS*

OMG. I forgot Percy and Marguerite flirting SHAMELESSLY in front of the idiot woman. I was laughing maniacally. I love them so.

(no subject)

I don't get it. I still think fooling people into reading something with a bad ending by omitting a warning is mean.

...y'know... there's just nothin' I can say to that.

Stark Incomprehension all round, lads?

oh, yes.

Lyssie Predicts, for NCIS season finale
( may contain spoilers )

oh, I'm injured. Really...

So, a Dino has come out of the woodwork (OMG I feel like I'm on OTL AGAIN, and the Slash Warning Debate is going on!) and said, I miss the days when we had authors who wrote for the craft, the pride of putting out a good story, put their heart and soul into it. They were posting story after story each day, they didn't demand praise, they got it because they deserved it. They put out a good product they could be proud to put their name on. etc, including listing some of the Good Old Days Authors, and the few of them that are still around....

She then rambles for a while, claiming only a small part of us are clamoring to get rid of all labels and warnings and ratings, and that anarchy is our banner song (yes, I'm putting provocative words in her mouth, shut up).

And closes with, What's wrong with letting people have an idea what's going on in the story
with a short summary, a category, and a rating? .... You'll get the audience you're looking for rather than pissing people off for dragging them into a story they're not interested in.

So. She misses the good old days, when authors didn't clamor for feedback (I must be missing all of the OMG FEEDBACK ME posts), but says that if we label, we will get more readers, which will (I'm using logic here) inevitably lead to more feedback.

...

Uh-huh.

I'm going to go sulk in a corner for being called whiny and uncaring of my craft (do I have a craft?). I think I'm going to start putting "plz rvw" on my fics now.

Actually, what's really sad is that this makes me want to dig up the OTL Slash Needs Warnings! debate from 1999...
