She said, "Hey, don’t let a little failure get you down"

Did I mention that [livejournal.com profile] heidi8 made me a Nathan video to Leona Naess's 'Charm Attack'? I did? Oh, well, I'm mentioning it again. Watch eeeeet!

Did I mention that I <3 Torchwood, but after watching 1.13, decided everybody was fired (except for Jack, because Jack is love. Burning hotass love).

You know who else is burning hotass love? Adrian Pasdar. Let's talk about last night's Heroes shall we?



The 'Kindness of Strangers' was it? Now personally I've always thought that everyone was strange. I mean just look at the lot of you. I don't remember a lot of how last night went, mostly because I kept shrieking and that apparently makes me lose track of the how a show goes.


1) M-Cubed. Wow. I've seen domestic before, but when Matt and Mohinder first burst into Molly's room it was really dark, and with Mohinder's white shirt I couldn't see his undershirt and for a while I thought he was half-naked and I was like "WOW, TIM! You went super gay this time!"


2) The dialogue last night was really clunky and anvilly. I don't normally notice shit like that, but large parts of last night hurt my ears. Not the Petrelli parts, but a lot of the emo stuff (esp, West and Claire) was just BAD.


3) Petrelli Love #1: Oh, Mama P! Why for are you admitting you killed your One True Love? She looks so sad and tired. And scared. Hasn't she had a hard enough year? First, Arthur (yes, apparently that's Mr. P's official name, which I got from someone, who got it from a man who can get you a good price on a bridge) and then Peter and then her ex-lover!

It's lonely at the top, yo.


4) I love you, Mr. Bennett, plz to not be dying!


5) Apparently I am alone in this, but I love Kon-El Superboy West madly. It's a shame Claire makes me want to spork myself, because otherwise I would be rocking the teen romance fiction.

5b) However, the whole "Let us rip off whole segments of Superman with the flying and all?" Yeah, cute, but kind of tired. I actually saw the exact same entwined scene in Superman Returns during the adverts!


6) Petrelli Love #2: NATHAN! Monty & Simon! They speak? Holy fucking cow. They are so adorable with the floppy hair and all! They are Nathan & Peter v. 2.0! Oh, Nathan. My ovaries ache. Damn son, he's not even allowed unsupervised time? Britney, is that you?

6b) Nathan + Beard of Porn. I am sad to see it go. I know 99.1% of you disagree, but I really think [livejournal.com profile] sparky77 and I will mourn... while we're checking the landfill for the discarded bits.


7) Petrelli Love #3: Just because you are sober doesn't mean shit. Wow. I love you Mama P. I love you telling Nathan to get his shit together when you are going to jail. They tried to make me go to rehab, I said no no no. Yes, my brother is dead, and I look like an Eskimo, but when he comes back... no no no.

No, I won't bastardize the song anymore, but still, I know Mama P loves Nathan in her own fucked up way. Emotionally stunted people tend to get other emotionally stunted people.


8) Petrelli Love #4: Nathan & Matt. Wow. Nathan's letting Parkman emote all over him. Oh, he really is in it now. Why is Daddy Petrelli's face all blurry? Still haven't cast him yet, Tim? Want to surprise us? Tell me more! I actually love seeing Nathan interact with other cast members, which is good, because I'm telling you the whole Nathan/Peter reunion isn't happening for a while.


9) I am totally digging Monica Dawson. I am not digging the whole 'women who are unable to better their station because of The Man' schtick though. That is irritating. I really did like seeing the swirly eyeball when she processes things, that's awesomecakes.


10) Sylar. In Mejico? With the twins of boredom? I am totally digging the tank top of almost naked. And he said his name was Gabriel!!!!!! Excited who? Twins die now? Plz, Tim?


11) Petrelli Love #5: OH DUDE. It's The Shrine of Emo! All hail the shrine of Emo and Puffy Mullet Hair. How did they get those photos? How did Fashionista Twenty Miles agree to give them up? Wow. You'd have to give me a blow job for me to expose myself like that and I don't even have a dick!


12) Did I mention I <3 West? Did I mention I don't like Claire? Also, she can't lie well? HAHAHAHAHAHA! That girl is a Petrelli, lying is as natural as breathing! I mean shit, she sold that to Mr. Bennett (kinda) and that says plenty.


13) Petrelli Love #6: If your name is Nathan Petrelli, ilu. That's pretty much it, but having been there before, I urge you not to hit things with no resistence as this is how you will fuck up your knuckles and your wrists, not to mention the swelling. Oy vey, the swelling.


14) So, in conclusion: West for The Win, Nathan for The Emo, Molly's 2 Daddies for The Gay and Monica for World Wide Wrestling.

Did I forget anybody?



Anyone know where I can find a Torchwood mood theme? For reals?

That is a very, very pretty icon of prettiness.

Torchwood is all about the Jack/Ianto/Tosh OTP for me! Together they make a vaguely functional, about 50 percent sane, extremely pretty person.

I don't know what to do about Owen. I think Burn Gorman is fantastic and made dialoge work at times that had absolutely no business working and made Owen way more compelling than he should have been, but still... Owen was just fundamentally icky by the end and I'm not sure I can ever like him again.

I kind of feel the same way about Gwen. She was so cool for so long and then just so very, very not cool. Bad Gwen!

The Doctor does not appreciate Jack either. It's why the Doctor and I are not speaking right now. He's all possessive of Jack, but won't let him have any fun because he sucks.

I think Jack is just far too awesome for any one person or alien with the possible exception of Nathan Petrelli. They should just rule the universe together.

Do they involve dirty sex with Ianto?

and with Mohinder's white shirt I couldn't see his undershirt and for a while I thought he was half-naked and I was like "WOW, TIM! You went super gay this time!"
Oh God, me too! I actually exclaimed 'holy shit!!'.

And he said his name was Gabriel!!!!!!

Thanks again for the pimping! Fyi, it's been downloaded from megaupload pushing 200 times (but not getting many reviews but that's ok....).

Also, have you read [livejournal.com profile] mandysbitch's Jack/Nathan fic (http://mandysbitch.livejournal.com/322753.html) from this summer? I highly recommend it....

I think Burn Gorman is fantastic and made dialoge work at times that had absolutely no business working and made Owen way more compelling than he should have been, but still... Owen was just fundamentally icky by the end and I'm not sure I can ever like him again.


This first ten episodes I loved Owen. I sent [livejournal.com profile] serialkarma all these txt messages to that effect: he was smart, he was snarky, he was 'wiry', what wasn't there to love? And then Diane came along and Owen was body snatched and he become the most insufferable little shit ever.

I called Jack a single parent a few days ago and seeing the way he tried to teach the team the right thing and the way they fought him and Owen shot him like FIFTY TIMES!* And then the way the team responded to him not being dead was pretty indicative of that single parent thing, fucking teenagers.

*I see that shooting someone is pretty regular on this show, and I thought I knew from fucked up. It's kind of awesome in a freaky as hell way. Somebody fucks up? Shoot'em. It's very Western (cowboy) law. Maybe I need to write a story called The Wild, Wild West where everybody shoots somebody else.

I kind of feel the same way about Gwen. She was so cool for so long and then just so very, very not cool. Bad Gwen!

Gwen went on the list when she retconned Rhys. I don't care who you are or where you work or how stressed you are, that's fucked up. Same with drugging and putting in a fucking JAIL CELL! And then to give Jack all that shit when she'd been fucking Owen and then to be all clingy when Jack went to do what they'd wanted him to do in the first place and save the world? Man, suck my dick. She is no conduit for me.

I do not like Ten. I would smack him. A lot.

Just as long as you write the dark show Ianto and not the weepy woman fandom Ianto

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Weepy woman? Are you taking the piss?

[identity profile] girl-wonder.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
No joke. Don't read half the fic out there. I get as far as, "... and then Ianto started crying tears of joy as come leaked out of his ass..." and have to go back to my fantasy of how TW should be written. Fandom Ianto cries when a coffee mug breaks and declares his OTP to be Jack, apparently ignoring the whole dead-girlfriend-in-the-basement thing.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
"... and then Ianto started crying tears of joy as come leaked out of his ass..."

Peter seems to do this a lot in stories too. He breaks a nail and he bursts into tears. Freaks me right out.

*scratches head* I just wrote Thirteen Things to Do with a Stop Watch, but I have to tell you there's no weeping Ianto. He does tell Jack he can't put the stopwatch up his arse, but that's about it.

Let me see!

Or I can wait. *sits on hands*

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-10-16 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I am waiting for my beta. It's a tiny story, but since it's my first Torchwood story I'd at least like not to walk out with my skirt in my underwear.

[identity profile] girl-wonder.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
Now there's an image I'll have for a while. *eyebrow*

I will of course prod for more later. TW is my secret SciFi love affair.

You're NOT alone. I love West too, and am greatly saddened by all the character hate! directed his way. There needs to be a support group for People Who Do Not Hate West, I think. Complete with fic and other happy things.

Wasn't there an interview where some guy got to touch the beard and declared it super soft?

I will miss the beard. The beard was the beard of awesome.

I've creeped out my lair of lurkdom to share with you The Wall of Emo as captured in the latest episode of Heroes. The picture on the very bottom is squee filled. :)

Too gay to function. (http://a889.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/11/l_78cbbd0b30e9f6ae8ea0af7797a5b370.jpg)

I called Jack a single parent a few days ago a

That's a perfect description of how they all react to him! Though Ianto is sort of the mom. Though maybe he's more like the second wife that none of the kids really respect.

[identity profile] antheia.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 04:27 pm (UTC)(link)
There's another Ianto? 'Cos that's the only version I saw when I watched the show that one time...

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2007-10-17 05:11 pm (UTC)(link)
That's uh. That is SO damn gay. Also, man, those photos. Wow, Milo. Really? It's so nice to know that everybody has those same embarassing photos.

Fics with West, say whaaaa. . .Hm. West with anyone but Claire would be lovely actually.

. . .Mr. Bennet/West anyone?

You know what's better than winning the lottery? When one of your favourite writers digs your fandom, with anticipated stories to come. Captain Harkness!!! <3
