Where I get my bitch on.

[hackthis_archive]

Some people get their freak on, today, I get my bitch on.


1. Stargate Atlantis. I don't get the appeal. I've tried, repeatedly. It bored me to tears. That's not my beef though, because I have my most beloved Battlestar Galactica. What is killing me is that everyone, and I do mean pretty much every fucking person I know, is loving this show with an unholy passion, and they're turning that unholy passion into stories that I can't read! lyra_sena wrote fucking guitar porn! rageprufrock has some crazy series about strippers (that is what that's about, yeah? I'm only going off the title). seperis is writing, like, assassin-fic or something. And here I am with nothing! That sucks. But you'll never get me to that show, so.

2. Speaking of shows I don't fancy, Firefly is another one. This isn't me telling people that they can't be all happy about Serenity, since apparently if SGA isn't your show, this one is. I mean everyone has their space show, and even ethrosdemon likes this one (or maybe that's just Nathan Fillion's bum), but just, no. I do think Gina Torres rocks, but that's probably because she's married to Laurence Fishburne.

3. And while we're on the topic of things that are boring me to tears – this season of Lost sucks "hairy dog bollocks" as I told estrella30. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and this one is mine. Last season was fast paced, every moment resulting in fifty different consequences. 44 days were covered in 22 episodes. This season we are four episodes in and still on the same fucking day. Nothing is fucking happening on this show, people; it's boring as hell. They have 44 potential people to use, why they hell aren't they addressing them? Stop spreading your legs for everyone, JJ, and focus on the people at home. Bringing in new characters is not the way to solve your issues. He pulled this same shit on Alias, and it's so not necessary.

Uh, yeah, that's pretty much it for me today. Thanks to everyone for answering my iPod questions. I'm off to search for something of interest to read that's not SGA.


ETA: I should point out that there are shows that I do love: Kichen Confidential, Grey's Anatomy, Nip/Tuck, Made and What Not to Wear. Also, obviously Entourage and Battlestar Galactica, but they're on hiatus right now.

1 - I wholeheartedly agree.
2 - Amen, sistah!
3 - I lost interest last season, so I'm with you, just in retrospect.

That said, you should maybe start catering your writing to me and vice versa and we'll leave those others with their own stuff. Hee.

Also - Daniel Craig: the new Bond. Discuss (because I'm stuck somewhere in the mental loop of half-put on (or taken off) tuxedos)

Stargate Atlantis. I don't get the appeal. I've tried, repeatedly. It bored me to tears.

Word. Word on all three points. I missed last night's Lost and I don't even care. Unless Jin or Sawyer are naked and Jack and Kate finally have sex, I'm not all that interested.

[kismeteve.livejournal.com]

Daniel Craig: the new Bond.

Good idea. Much better than the Jude Law rumors I've been hearing.

Stargate Atlantis. I don't get the appeal

I hear ya. I do feel all sad and on the outside looking in, but I just have no interest in the show or anything and there's all this allegedly great fic being written that I can't/won't read, and it's like what *everyone* on my flist is talking and writing about 24/7.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

I am blaming this whine about everything I love in fandom today on the pointy shoes. Yis.

[plumtastic.livejournal.com]

And then there are those of us that are kinda slutty and like damn near *everything*.

[rhienelleth.livejournal.com]

I watch SGA, and have even written fic for it, but...it is not the best SF show ever, nor does it even come close to BSG good. I wrote a post once about how it's my new Star Trek, and probably appeals to me on that level of inner geek.

Firefly, well, I don't get how people don't love it. But I get how you feel about both of these shows. This is pretty much my take on Veronica Mars. I've tried to watch it/love it for the sake of my f-list, which seems to adore it en masse. But...this season has been booooooooring thus far.

And Lost? ITA. I just knew this show was going to end up disappointing me ala Alias. *sigh*

Baaaaaaaby Daddy. I think that's pretty much all I was good for (http://www.livejournal.com/users/minitrog/105591.html) when I first heard the news, but truthfully I'm of two minds about it. On one hand, it's a smart move for him in terms of furthering his career. He won't be Bond forever, and then, with more power behind his name he can get all those roles that people won't consider him for now. One the other hand, Bond is nothing but mindless entertainment, great mindless entertainment, but it sure as hell isn't going to exercise his acting chops.

Yeah, I'm at that stage where everyone gives me nothing but aggro.

1. Dude I couldn't care less about the tv show, but I totaly read like, a shitton of the fic yesterday and I'm blaming it all on the fact that the writers in the fandom are so awesome. Uh. I started with astolat and it was all downhill from there. But in a good, porntastic way. Where I don't know anything about the show's canon but I like the way the fanfic's written.

3. WORD. I was kind of fed up with Lost when they didn't answer a single goddamned thing last season while the ending on Veronica Mars was a huge contrast in that it tied things up perfectly. But this season of Lost is even worse. I'm just not feeling very engaged with it because I feel like the writers have written themselves into a box and now they're just dragging their heels because it's too soon to give anything up and it's too late to change things.

I hear ya. I do feel all sad and on the outside looking in, but I just have no interest in the show or anything and there's all this allegedly great fic being written that I can't/won't read, and it's like what *everyone* on my flist is talking and writing about 24/7.

That's my entire issue! People are writing all this fantastic stuff and I can't enjoy any of it. I've tried divorcing the fic from the show, but it just doesn't quite mesh. We are totally on the outside looking in, whatever though, we can still party.

[mellafe.livejournal.com]

Funny, I just posted about TV stuff myself. LOSTSUCKSSOMUCHOMG!!!

I do adore Grey's Anatomy. George!! I should have an icon for that one. Damn.

What is killing me is that everyone, and I do mean pretty much every fucking person I know, is loving this show with an unholy passion, and they're turning that unholy passion into stories that I can't read!

You get no sympathy from me. Or, that is, no more sympathy than you had for me when all the people I loved abandonded SV and started writing, like, I dunno... HP or QaF or DC all the time.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You love Firefly? Since when? As for the SGA thing, I'm not ragging on your show, well, I am, but that's normal -- what's got me all hot and bothered is that everyone is fucking writing it and I'm all on the outside looking in (like musesfool said). I'm used to being on the cutting edge or in the melee, I don't like not being in!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I like damn near everything, this just isn't that everything ;)

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

VM is another show that makes me go huh? It's just -- no. I don't get the SGA or the Firefly thing, but I just say whatever, VM is a show I actively dislike though. Which is interesting as I've only seen one episode and that one I kind of liked, I draw this dislike from all the cooing I reckon. Plus, spunky chicks. I fucking hate that description of women.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Dude, I have always loved Firefly, since it first aired! I just don't talk about it much because I was too sad when it ended, and then I'm not seriously involved in the fandom, but I do tend to talk about it with other FF fans. Who are not YOU, by the way, which is probably why you're surprised!

I'm used to being on the cutting edge or in the melee, I don't like not being in!

Um. Sorry? You know we'd love to have you!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Who are not YOU, by the way, which is probably why you're surprised!

Other people?! What *other* people?! There's only me!me!me! Are you cheating on me? I knew it! You're not working, you're cheating! You're probably wearing someone else's lipstick too!

[issaro.livejournal.com]

, and they're turning that unholy passion into stories that I can't read!

in the immortal works of hackthis ...

Word.

[lyra-sena.livejournal.com]

You're probably wearing someone else's lipstick too!

*blushes and hides lipstick behind back*

[cirakaite.livejournal.com]

Word on 1 & 3. Although admittedly, Lost barely caught my interest for the first season's eps that I saw. Firefly is love, but only because BSG is on hiatus, and thus I have some squee to share for something else. Plus, it has Kaylee, and Simon.

KC, I still have to download. But Battlestar Galactica is so far above and beyond anything else in terms of the sheer love.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I, uh, think I left my watch over at your place the other day, too. I'll, um, just stop by and pick it up tonight, shall I?

*whistles innocently*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

1. I tried. I really tried that, but after having watched the show and seen the characters my POV just can't stop trying to mesh the two together. I want to read the stories and appreciate them on their own merits, especially considering how many fabulous authors are writing in the fandom.

3. I think the writers on Lost had a lot more fun last season because they could just keep randomly tossing shit out and pretending that it was relevant, but now that they have to actually answer for their actions, and they're lost. Pun not intended.

[lyra-sena.livejournal.com]

I love it when you get all hot and bothered. And just for it, I am not going to flake out on what I've promised you.

[plumtastic.livejournal.com]

*shrug* I guess I'm just used to being contrary. Like, I never write the It child, but I read a *lot* of different fandoms - even freaking Man From Uncle, and I've gotten roped in on half of Tracey's and Estrella's wacky fandoms.


I do know how you feel about SGA though, because it took me forever to find the whole McKay appeal. Then I got brainwashed and everything was fine!
