fic rec: Romana

There is rather a large amount of incredibly good Romana fic here. If you're a fan of Doctor Who, and Romana, I recommend you go and read, and give the authors feedback.

V - E - T`

The fluffy one had to go today. She meowed piteously at me, at the vet-tech, at the vet...

At Timey, since we left with her to go to work...

Got home, let her out of the carrier, and I went to wash my hands.

Came back, and she meows and looks significantly at her food dish.

Oh, yeah. She's so VERY traumatized.

*snerk*

eta: am reminded. BEVS! There's an Adam Beach mini-interview in the Fall Movies preview issue of Entertainment Weekly. The pic with it is very cute.

the thing about Trial...

Well, the thing about Trial is, see, that it seems quite a shit episode until you rip apart the politics and realize it's rather brilliant. It makes me wonder if the Federation would get the same deal from the Cylons.

Anyway. There is a quite lovely eye-fuckage scene between Avon and Cally in the teleport area. And then Blake and Cally do a slightly happier, less intense version of it a little later.

And then there's Travis. Just totally knowing what's happening, totally playing Thania (I'm sure she did find out that majors die easily--perhaps Trooper Parr did it himself).

Servalan. Even with Travis pointing a gun at her, she doesn't look at all worried. As though she never had a doubt she'd still live (cross this with her reaction to being held at gunpoint by Jenna. Because Jenna would kill her--Jenna would kill Travis, but as Blake says it would be a mercy killing). Servalan, whom Grayza is a pale, sex-crazed imitation of.

Blake is apparently from the south, wants to marry his cousin and all...

Oh, right. Trial.

It's been a while since I bothered watching the Blake bits, as, well, I'd seen them a lot, and Blake being Angst-boy was quite boring. But it makes an interesting counterpoint to Travis' trial, AND the Liberator discussion of morality.

God, Cally looks awful in that beige thing. Can we have that lovely crushed-cranberry-thing back? It was a bit too fussy and ornate, but at least she didn't look like she'd fade into a wall.

Servalan, for the record, does not fade into a wall in pure white. And she's surrounded by pure white on a high scale.

BERCOL AND RONTANE. I'm saddened that they are now dead.

bwah. SG-1 meets pirates.

random bit of chatlog I just dug up...

Ryss: Hm. Asgard with eyepatches...
Alryssa> And wearing tricorner hats.
Sarya> "Thor, that's uh, a nice patch there." "Arrr, O'Neill, Matey."
* Alryssa falls over.
Acetal> Sarya: Don't worry. In Asgard you come back to life the next day.
`Domino> "Avast, Tauri!"
* Alryssa splutters.
* Acetal ponders. Ysgard/Asgard/Asgaard?
Alryssa> "Ahoy there, SG1-mates!"
`Falstaff> Yarr!
Acetal> Lt. Yarr!
daroos> *snortchuckles*
Sarya> "All right. Carter? I blame this on you." "I'm NOT the one who showed Thor Pirates of the Carribbean, sir."
`Domino> "Baton the hatches and close the iris!" But that's just making all of the SGC pirates...
Acetal> Oh, now THERE'S an image.
`Falstaff> *Yarr!!"
* Acetal is picturing Thor learning how to wink.
daroos> "AAr, General. The Marines are revolting!" "Like we didn't know that before. Har, har..." "Sir, have you gotten into the rum again?" "Aye."
Alryssa> "Hoist the mains'l!" "..."
daroos> "Start the Dies'l."
`Falstaff> "Query, O'Neill." "The hell is it?" "Why precicely a *scurvy* dog?"
daroos> "Sir, the ships run on Antimater."
daroos> "Start the antimaters'l!"
* Alryssa pictures Daniel in a headscarf with an earring. Actually scarily easy to do...
daroos> Ryss: That's like, 3/4ths of the eps he's in now.
Acetal> Actually, dogs can produce their own vitamen C.
daroos> Which dude. Do-rag Daniel? Not so bad.
daroos> Ryss: Now picture him with the flamboyant red vest-let and poofy pants.
* Alryssa imagines Carter with a drawn on moustache and a hook. And dies.
* Acetal is now known as Carter``
* Carter`` puts my arms around O'Neil and whispers in his ear, `Don't ask, don't tell, sir.'
* Carter`` is now known as Acetal
