La, la, la, la....

Refuse to do any meme currently running around. 'Cause. Bah.

Watched the Doctor Who episode 'Inferno' last night. Was amused by it. There are mockable parts, but the whole actually hangs together fairly well---especially if you can ignore the anti-fossile-fuel-energy statements. Which are... fun. But, Liz. Liz, baby, was fabulous. I need one of her.

Although she so needs better dress sense.

Thing is, now I've got the irresistable urge to have Sam Carter and Liz Shaw... meet. I don't know that the planet would survive, of course (hello, two smart chick scientists? They might blow up a sun, or something). But it might be damned amusing--even with the age difference.

Had a thought for the Farscape Friday challenge, but I think someone's used the thingie I would already. Not the idea, but the title. And. Stuff. But. Is Sebacean Heat Delirium something that could be passed on, if, say, you drank their blood? Or do the stomach acids eat up DNA strands...

Also. Being bored at work means I start plotting bad fan videos. I've got something half-hashed out for a Sam/Jack video to a Debbie Gibson song. (HAH. I can hear the shrieks from here. ;) And if I can just remember which song it is, I can start planning the Faith/Buffy one. Which would rock. Because I *liked* the idea. SO. liked it.

For some reason, part of today was also spent considering why I think Luc dying was okay, in the long run. (Tru Calling). Because if Davis had died, that would have shattered Tru's world more. Luc is a small hurt, one she'll get over eventually... The repercussions of Davis' death would have lasted for *years*. For all I know, it might have been what sent her over the edge... Not that she's gone there.

Davis isn't sexual. I mean, the relationship between him and Tru. It's a close partnership--more like Bobby and Alex, or Dom and Nate (without the sex). Because Davis is the one who believes in her, the one person who can say something and make it all make sense.

And with him gone, she totally would have no balance in her life.

In other news, I have this incredible craving to watch ever Colonel Simmons episode of Stargate. Why is that?

Finally, a mini-rant. I'm preaching to the choir here, and I know it. But, I am SO fucking tired of seeing god-awful fic get 2-3-400 reviews. And my fic? Gets an average of 1. If I'm lucky.

I'll admit it. I write, half the time, for the reaction. I want to know. Did a story piss someone off, make them cry, make them laugh, make them go, "This sucks so much ass!!!" ?? But, rarely do I ever truly know. And I would love more "This sucks" feedback. I like feeling validated.

This mini-rant was brought to you by the letters... eh, none. But by 'Velocity', and its two sequels. And a bit of experimentation. Oh! And my cat. Because she's being loud and obnoxious.

Hey, A.j.? If I write Pete/Saskia, will you love me forever?

drive-by...

Alternate!Liz had like the worst wig ever. But the Brig! Being evil! With an eyepatch! SQUEE!

Would they do sex? Please?

Luc dying on Tru Calling wasn't much of anything. Why? He wasn't a *real* character. I felt less about his death than I felt about the doctor's who died in the previous episode, because we got to *know* parts of that doctor's life in the episode. Luc? Not so much. And the whole finale episode just felt so...emotionless.

*pets Davis* I'm not sure I could watch the show if something happened to Davis. He's my most favouritest.

I like Davis. He's a suspicious bastard who's completely down to earth.

And, amusingly enough, I missed the last ten minutes of the finale. But I knew about the whole Luc thing. So.

Well, the whole finale episode is so 'well, gee, I wonder who is going to DIE, if not Harrison, HMMMMMM', and speaking of which, good gods, that show needs better writers. Or writers that have a job other than EXPOSITION FOR THIRTY MINUTES SO EVEN THE SLOW ONES get IT. [/rant]

I loved the Davis storyline in the sixteenth episode, where it turned out he was married and ish wife died, and Tru's mom tried to help them, but he didn't believe her. Now if the writers could work like that for the WHOLE show, I'd be glad. *G*
