Sympathy for the Devil
Sep. 10th, 2009 11:02 pmGreat. Just typed a whole long entry and my computer freaked out and deleted it. (sigh) Starting over again...Warning: skip this if you want pure squee. I mean, there is certainly squee contained herein, but it is definitely not all squee.

Ensemble cast: SGA vs SG1
Jan. 8th, 2009 08:31 pmI think part of the reason why I like Stargate Atlantis fic and fandom more than the SG1 fic and fandom I've seen is because they have a larger and more developed ensemble cast outside of the main team who are around all the time, which lends itself well to long, broad stories encompassing the entire city.
For instance, off the top of my head for SGA I can list: Lorne, Zelenka, Beckett, Elizabeth, Miko, Chuck, Parrish, Grodin, Kavanagh, Woolsey (if you count season 5), Ford (if you count season 1), Stephanie Heightmeyer, Katie Brown, Halling, Caldwell, Jeannie and her family, Bates, Cadman, Keller (again, if you count later seasons) Michael the Wraith, Todd the Wraith, etc. etc!
For SG1, there's General Hammond, General Landry (if you count S9-10), Doc Frasier, Walter, Siler, um, that geeky scientist guy I can't remember his name who's around sometimes with the glasses, Bra'tac (sometimes), Major Davies (sometimes), Jacob Carter, Maybourne (sometimes), very occasionally Sha're and Skaara, and lots of people who just kind of skip in and out of the series once in a blue moon.
The whole close, cohesive, large, and diverse Atlantis community just appeals to me more storymaking-wise, I guess, or at least that's part of it. There are so many more interesting personalities to bounce around! And that automatic closeness, sense of community that we get an impression of from them being pretty isolated in Pegasus is not something we ever really feel from the Cheyenne SGC base in SG1. As a whole, I mean, of course there's teamyness galore in SG1, and I include Hammond and Frasier in that. But it's not the same.

SPN 4x10 initial reaction says...WTF
Nov. 21st, 2008 12:41 amWhy do I only ever feel articulate enough to post episode reactions when I have ISSUES with an episode? I mean, I seriously love this show. Most of the time I have so much squee that I jump around the room making high-pitched noises and disturbing the hell out of my roommate, but most of my post-age on the topic seems negative, which is just...false impression, wahhh!
...But yes, I am posting with Issues, once again. (hangs head)
Honestly ( SPN 4x10, Heaven and Hell )
Also, sleep. (sigh) Kripke you frustrating little man. And as the last episode before the Hiatus of Doom, too! (Long face is long.)
Incoherency FTW!...Also, I need more icons.

Supernatural 4x02
Sep. 25th, 2008 10:15 pmI don't have time to muse on the entire episode, so I'll just jot down some things that stuck out to me:

Heroes 3x01 and 3x02
Sep. 22nd, 2008 11:14 pmDon't be fooled by my icon. Pay attention to the "WTF" Peter-face, and not the ":D" Nathan-face or smiley.

One Piece Theory...
Sep. 4th, 2008 12:02 am I've been re-watching/rereading the parts of One Piece in which Robin's past on Ohara is revealed, and I got to thinking about things I'd forgotten.

OK, sooo...
And gee, I wonder if I will ever use this journal for more than fandom squee-age and rant-age and to comment on other people's awesome writing? *ThinkyMcThink-Face* ...Oh, well, I'm happy like this for now! ^_^

Oof....I iz conflicted. (Naruto 400)
May. 17th, 2008 08:54 pm My feelings are so extremely mixed that I don't think I can form a coherent opinion of recent chapters. ;_;

Apr. 18th, 2008 08:03 pmI knew last Friday that it would be two weeks until another new Naruto chapter, but here I am a week later, and dammit I didn't know how freaking hard this waiting would be! ;_;
Ohhh, I'm just so freaking curious I need to rant and rave and...go find some more fanfic. Yeah, that sounds good. Itachiiiii....

Really truly not what I was expecting from the long-awaited third season premiere of my very favorite and beloved TV show. Not remotely what I wanted, either.
OK. There. I've said it. Gotten it (mostly) off my chest. Cathartic, but not as much as I'd hoped. I'm still unhappy about it.
