Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

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

Hee, I just read that. My favorite bit:

Hurt/Comfort: Best to demonstrate with a mini-fic here. Writer takes character A, strips him, strings him up from a tree, covers him in honey and sets a swarm of wasps on him. Character B wanders past, and says, “What’s happened to you then?”

A replies, “I’ve been stripped, strung up from a tree, covered in honey and had a swarm of wasps set one me. It’s really quite painful.”

B, “Oh. Poor you. Fancy a shag?”

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

It's the Gimli pole dance that gets me.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Tolkien was just not thinking straight when he made the fellowship leave Rivendell without a ferret juggler.

I must tag this.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Doggett could have carried that show if they'd given him the chance.

I liked Doggett. I thought he was quite nummy, and not a bad actor.

Poor Robert Patrick. That was probably the most thankless job ever.

I loved Doggett. I think he could have carried the show, too. I still watch random re-runs if I happen to catch them, IF they're Doggett-ful.

I liked Doggett fine. It was what they did to Scully to make Doggett heroic that burned my butt.

::sigh:: for kickass female leads.

You realize that after Buffy and Farscape go away, the only truly kickass chica on television will be Sidney Bristow? S'not enough.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Yes indeedy. I wanted to slap Chris Carter up one side of Area 51 and straight down the other.

I love Robert Patrick, too.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

By that point I'd been watching XF on and off for about five years, and just threw my hands up in the air over the whole Mulder storyline. What idiots the writers were, especially for people who were only casual viewers. Season One is the epitome of XF, for me.

Topic switch--can anyone give me some good Dark Angel recs? I know the fandom's scary as hell, but surely there's some readable Max/Logan stuff behind all the shipper crap?

The only Dark Angel I ever read was a crossover with XF, by Sarah Segretti. You could probably google her website and find it. I only ended up reading it because she's a friend and asked me to beta.

Oh, it was good, of course. Cause, Sarah Segretti.
