This got longish, so cutting (also, like, spoilers for episodes that are a decade old?)

I'm in season seven, fyi.

I said goodbye to Jonas. I watched Sam, Jonas, and Teal'c be THE WORST at sneaky. But also, Sam was really hot.

She was also really hot a lot of the rest of the time.

I really really hate and loathe Felger, and wish they'd never invented his smarmy ass. Ugh. He's so gross.

Fragile Balance just made me want more mini Asgard clones, particularly at the end where mini!Jack gets to the high school. There should have been, like, a group who were like, "Finally! You got here!" at him, with mini!Teal'c's smug look.

("Carter?" "Blame Thor, sir." "Or Loki." "Indeed." "Why am I here?" "You missed hair gel." "Right. Hey, Colonel." "I'm not a colonel, for cryin' out loud.")

The Tok'ra are decimated, at this point, they keep losing bases. And the Anubis vs System Lords constant back and forth is sort of hilarious to watch. He keeps recruiting them, then they keep betraying and attacking him.

And then, there I am, watching Daniel get captured in South America, and Jack has to go rescue him. And suddenly, Elias is giving Jack O'Neill a tour of the jungle and rescuing people. And all I can think is that this is prep for teaching high schoolers, and fits just fine. (meanwhile, Daniel is just like, "Oh. Torture. This is... new. *yawn*")

I'm trying to work out just how to do a POI/SG-1 crossover, that includes Elias being Burke, but sort of failing. The timing doesn't really work. But someone trying to kill Jack, Daniel, or Sam in NYC is feasible. Perhaps the NID is trying to remove a threat (does Finch know about the Stargate program?), and NYC is such a busy murder city.

On the shipping side:
1. Sam and Jack do these occasional... things, which make me go, "oh, right. That's why I shipped it."
2. Sam regretted never telling Daniel something, I'm good with it being Emotions.
3. The order of s6 is off - Paradise Lost should have come prior to the one where Ba'al tortures Jack, as PL is the one Sam has a break-down in, and felt a bit off with the timing. That said, Teal'c hugging her is excellent.
4. Teal'c and Daniel and their conversations. <3
5. Team orgies are still a thing. There was a lot of tying Daniel to things once he was back.
lyssie: (Sam Carter is Shallow and Libido Driven)
1. I finally got around to listening to the second series of Big Finish's ATA Girl. It was all right? But I'm a little bit over the constant framing of Women's Stories as All About Rape and Sexual Assault (seriously, can I please please please have some media about women that isn't centered on Women as Abuse Victims In a System That hates them, and the Family/Society that Keep Them Down. Please). In addition, the series had far too many male characters. Men already have a massive glut of stories about their time during WW2. Can we fucking stop talking about them. Please.

I'm also very over people talking enthusiastically about how they were able to show vulnerability in x female character, which is totally new and different and AWESOME. The interviews with ATA Girl, had every.single.woman state that as though it's a fucking selling point. NO IT ISN'T. Women are CONSTANTLY VULNERABLE in media, ffs.

2. Aside from that, my mother and I are re-watching Leverage together, and I had some thoughts (I know, a decade late) about Sophie and her acting and, just, character arc stuff from season one. Read more... )

3. Netflix is streaming Stargate: SG-1 again, so I've been randomly re-watching stuff. I hit up some s5 and 4, then went back to 3, and then to 1, and now I'm near the end of 2. I have skipped any episode I don't have interest in (which is... a lot). And Daniel's floppy hair is distracting (as are Janet's hair changes!) I've been enjoying it, though. And I'd forgotten how FROWNY FACE Teal'c is for most of season 1, and some of 2. I wonder if they asked him to soften for the later seasons, or if he just softened on his own.

(this got longer than I'd thought)

2. I am waiting until Thirteen gets here in all her glory to continue watching (I am lazy and don't download much these days).

3. Although I need Midsomer Murders season 20, dammit. Even if I will spend some of it pining for Kam. and Kam/Winter. /predictable and shallow.

4. I have been writing crack!fic this week. I don't know what's gotten into me. (thank you, BBC Sherlock fandom, for basically kick-starting my ability to post fic once it's finished) That said, I've been unable to manage anything for fandom_stocking this year :/

5. Big Finish's Shilling and Sixpence Investigate is brilliant fun, and I ship Lavinia/Desmund so hard it's a bit embarrassing (but they're adorable. And he gets all worried over her. And they are clever people being clever at each other and unf) I really really hope they do a second series as Celia Imrie and David Warner are wonderful together.

6. I finally remembered to watch The Spy Who Dumped Me and while I think Audrey/Morgan is an excellent OTP (and will read it and possibly write it), Audrey/Morgan/Sebastian is an OT3 that hits my id very hard. Especially as I'm pretty sure half the time, Seb's like "dude, I am just here for the ride, ok?" and then Audrey and Morgan are in charge of everything and kicking people in the face. (their property damage budget often makes MI-6 regret the decision to hire them, and one time they got loaned out to MI-5 and Harry Pearce was like "OMG NEVER AGAIN. NO." and somewhere, Ros is like "thank fuck I'm not there anymore, god." but also a bit appreciative.)

(seriously, it was really good, if you're looking for BFFs and spy shenanigans. Just, y'know, don't think too hard about the plot)
lyssie: (Clara Oswald)
1. Flist, I have a very important question that I almost posted to twitter but forgot about. Did Jonas Quinn ever wear a bandanna a la Daniel Jackson and his do-rag of shame? (and why do I think I've asked this before? I don't even know WHY I wondered about this one my way home today).

2. It has come to my attention that I've not talked comics in, like, ages. (probably because I subsist on trades these days; holy shit it was back in 2014) And

  • Rat Queens is currently on hiatus (and reading up on it, there has apparently been a quagmire of drama over the book for the last two years that I didn't even know about). This makes me sad. Although perhaps there is hope?
  • Phonogram: The Immaterial Girl was everything I ever wanted in a story about Emily Aster. I love that woman, even if she's an asshole.
  • Amazon keeps suggesting comics to me, which is why I've picked up:

    • Copperhead - it's a gritty space-age western with a badass female sheriff who is the quintessential cranky John Wayne type. Plus there's alien tensions, kidnapping, the heroine has sex, and bad things are on the horizon. (I totally loved it, ok, I can't help that I am weak for confident women having sex)
    • Paper Girls TOTAL 80's nostalgia trip, it's Twilight-Zone-influenced and hilarious and amazing. Plot? A group of paper girls on bikes vs what might be aliens in their sub-division. I love it.

  • I continue to buy Saga, Lazarus, Sex Criminals, Ms. Marvel & Captain Marvel, but I haven't actually read all of them yet (I think I'm three trades behind in all but SC).
  • I keep waiting for the new Velvet & Saucer Country trades in the vain hope they're not actually finished.
  • I did read The Wicked and the Divine and, like Phonogram, it is a delight.
  • Things I am not reading: most of Marvel, all of DC, and I may have accidentally broken up with Ghostbusters (but the movie may fill the hole in my life).
  • Also not reading any of the new Doctor Who stuff out of (probably) loyalty to IDW. And also because I am not made of money.
  • Where is my Painkiller Jane move, Mr. Palmiotti? Where? (I know, Emanuelle Vaugier and Kristanna Lokken are hard acts to follow)


3. Speaking of media, I am aware that there is new space opera on tv. However, I'm also sure none of you are surprised that I watched the first two episodes of The Shannara Chronicles the other day instead of Killjoys or Dark Matter. And unlike Legend of the Seeker I did not spend the entire thing going "please die, leading males, please fucking die as you are annoying and dull and boring." Instead, I mostly went "Oh, Wil, you're not that bright." and "I'm sorry, Allanon, that people are stupid and childish." and "What the fuck is Amberle wearing. WHY." (although, the thoughts were actually in reverse order). Idk. Epic fantasy apparently has hold of me right now? I liked Mr. Long-Suffering Druid and Amberle and Eretria, and Wil is adorable like a puppy.

3a. I think I'm terrified that all of the Who audio I listen to will make me super-critical of space opera (I mean, the Tricia Helfer thing from last year was probably amazing, but I couldn't last twenty minutes because dead girls and too many sexist males, but). Which is why I didn't try the other two.

3b. I also need to watch Wynnona Earp. And The Living and the Dead. (because creepy Victorian Gothic Horror; also, I'm pretty sure that if someone did a gothic horror series starring Romoloa Garai and Mia Wasikowski I would be all over that)

4. I did recently re-watch the Marple version of The Sittaford Mystery with Zoe Telford and Carey Mulligan. As always, it was excellent and I love Emily and Violet (and ship them so violently it's sad). And it made me want to work out more of a plot and finish the Emily/Violet fic I started the last time I watched (because Emily follows the money, but she can't help loving Violet, and Violet dislikes being used for her money but Emily is exactly what she needs now). Possibly there were Russian spies involved (shut up, I like spies and it was the 50's, and the Red Scare was a thing then. Besides, they were in South America. or maybe Prague)

5. So, my grand re-read of the Virgin NAs hit a snag as I realized that I would have to actually read Falls the Shadow. I certainly didn't manage it my first time through, and my completist brain wants to not skip. Sigh. But it's so long and full of dull torture, ma. */whines* Which is to say I haven't actually read anything since finishing off St. Anthony's Fire.

5a. Though, to be fair, I don't think I've managed to read an actual book this year. Perhaps I should break that curve.
lyssie: (Sophie is srsly bored)
1. Someone has uploaded the entirety of Mother Love to Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unPXDSOcIsc (I have no watched it twice through and gotten the book from the library and re-read it) Also, I've watched ML a good twenty+ times, so you can imagine that I think it's amazing and people should watch it (what a pity it's not on dvd)

2. I marathonned seasons 9, 10, 6 and 7 of SG-1 a bit ago. I really really liked 9 & 10, more than I remember doing--and I think it didn't get enough airplay, but the Adria-Vala relationship was fun. Then I took at least half a season to adjust to NO CAM OR VALA. And Teal'c's hair. Seriously, I missed the crap out of the season 10 team and wasn't expecting to (I even missed Daniel, which was VERY CONFUSING for me, ngl). And, um, I discovered that I don't really like Jack much anymore--this is even more confusing than missing Daniel, but I kept getting impatient/annoyed with Jack, and with the dynamic when Jack was around--and he was the only thing that wasn't in 9/10, so. I really appreciate Sam getting to do her own thing without constant "sir, may I?" stuff.

3. Having managed 9 and 10, I decided to get over my rage about certain (Atlantis) things (goddamn, I hold a grudge a long time), and watched Ark of Truth and Continuum. I really really liked AoT (IS SO AMAZING I CAN'T EVEN). Continuum, not so much. Too little Vala (I'm aware Claudia was pregnant, but...), too little Teal'c. But it was all right (also, this is what, the sixth? Seventh? time that SG-1 has re-written history).

4. Then I took a break and watched some Atlantis, but the constant "We Are So Amazing and Right, and We Can Take All Your Stuff" mind-set of Rodney McKay/his team just... I wanted to smack them a lot, and NO ONE DOES SO in the show (they tried to give Weir some verbal "you can't do that"s, but no one LISTENS TO HER). Although it was interesting to go from Steen's Weir to Torri's on Atlantis, and see some of the things they did for the former in the latter. (also, the "we can take stuff" thing was a BAD GUY TRAIT from SG-1, so it's a bit hard to take our 'heroes' using it)

5. We are partially-moved into the new apartment (mostly stuff we can haul over in the car). At some point, we're going to have to get a truck and move the Bit Stuff.

6. Book list update:Read more... )
lyssie: (Sam/Vala are up to no good)
1. I want to write a big post about SG-1, as, um, I have been watching it (again). But for the moment, all I have to say is that it's a bit different watching Chimera and the Sam/Pete relationship without the pre-inset bias of Sam/Jack 4ever (I mean, I still sort of ship it, but nowhere near like I did once). Pete is fairly adorable despite the whole "following Sam everywhere" thing which is a bit off. (I also appreciate how hot Sam Carter still is to me)

2. I started a part-time job today (this is mostly for my own records, so the next time I have to fill out things, I'll have a date). It doesn't really pay enough to make it worth my while, but I appreciate being able to work.

3. I keep trying to write things and pretty much failing to do more than a sentence or two.

4. Oh, goody. Death Knell is next.
lyssie: (Liz and Teyla aren't surprised by your s)
1. There is a bit in one of the Big Finish audios, where Ace lies to Seven. AND I AM ALL "OMG I SHIP IT NOW" about it. so sad. Also, predictable.

2. Things certain to ruin a smut scene: penis tips hitting womb openings. WAY TO RUIN THE MOMENT.

3. Nasreen from Hungry Earth/Cold Blood remains totally awesome. <3 I would watch a season of her as a companion. Or even longer.

4. There is a lot of Two in Eleven.

5. Listening to The War Games at work produces two things: the thought of Eleven + Ponds in a similar situation. And Amy/Lady Jennifer. idek.

6. Also. The Doctor enjoys getting arrested.

7. My gender and race-swap casting for SG-1/Atlantis continues, though I have no picturesRead more... )

lyssie: (Tricia gets a piggy-back ride)
This is the current Femslashland challenge, and I went ahead and swapped races, as well. (Because I could). I tried to limit myself to people not currently working, but failed more than once. (and holy gooood, some of the decisions were hard!) Also, I was only supposed to re-cast four, but I ended up re-casting a lot.
