Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Dude, nobody remembers The Tomorrow People.
Hell, I scarcely remember it. But I grew up on Doctor Who, The Tomorrow People and Blakes 7. (And can I say, excluding the apostrophe is almost physically painful?)
...I was always going to be a geek.
Anyway, by namechecking said shows, rather than the Trek, he has won my girlish heart.
Well, that and the fact that he's snarky, and cute, and would look good naked with other boys. And is going to snog Carson.
It's all good.
(...actually, I've sort of named a character after him in the original novel I'm trying to write. Um.)

Bwah, Fay!
Veronica Mars fans: Anjou has started writing a Logan-centric story. You can find it here. If you're worried about WIPs, Anjou is very good about finishing things. She tends to write long, as well.

I do. and I'm not british. But my mom, sisters, and I used to watch it after school. I believe it came on at 4.

The Ancients/Avalon/Ori/Ascended timeline is making my head hurt. Is the assumption that the Ori are Ancients who'd settled and seeded yet another galaxy after fleeing Pegasus 10,000 years ago, and then subsequently ascended as a separate group that later bought into their own press?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
You know, shameful admission time: I'm not even trying on this one. Someone else can try to work it out.

If I only had a brain...
I am sad because a promising fic in which Daniel and Vala are still braceleted together got Jossed.
Also, the final bit of Origin ran something like this:
Daniel: Darn. You're about to die horribly, you know that?
Fred The Walk-On: Not a problem. I'm a redshirt anyway. Time for me to take one for the plot team.
Vala: What about the blonde chick whose body I'm wearing?
Fred: She's a redshirt too.
Vala: Okay, then.
SCENE: FIREPIT OF DOOM SET (because it was too expensive to use only once)
Daniel: Oooh, ick.
Vala: I didn't like it the first time, I don't like it now. Bring on the redshirt FAST!
Daniel: Does not scream.
Vala: Doesn't scream, either, because this time the cavalry are bound to come.
Redshirts: Hey, this doesn't suck.
Teal'c: ::throws McGuffin into Stargate::
Redshirts: Damn. Aiieee!

Poor redshirts. Really, I'm all for martyring yourself for truth if that's what you're into, but I'd think you'd want to get to make that choice yourself...

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Matt, that sounds more or less accurate to me, although we get into the "why? what? why?" of the "communications device" body-switching thing.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
t fanwank That galaxy is SO far away that even with functional ZPMs it wasn't practical to keep lines of travel open via stargates and FTL drive ships. Some Ancient devised a way to transmit whole minds through subspace at a much lower energy cost, thus making continued communication possible. Later, the Ori ascension research succeeded and they had a falling out with their fellow ascended Ancients. They could now easily power intergalactic stargates by force of will, but the Ancients put up a big Somebody Else's Problem field around the Milky Way to keep the preachy cousins from finding it again. The Ori get distracted sucking all the fun out of the non-ascended humans in their own neighborhood and forget about their ancestral homeland until Daniel and Vala pop up to remind them. t /fanwank
