1. Right before a gig on Monday night I got a text that Blaise had been cast for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to which I replied, "Oh noes! They'll totally fuck it up." And then I got sent the photo of the actor and I replied, "Oh noes, they did fuck it up! He's totally too hot for movie-Draco. This is obviously why Blaise and Theodore are so MFEO."

2. In addition to my new found love Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, I am also loving American Gladiators, because Wolf is the man, and as antheia said Titan is totally the power bottom. I'm wondering where *that* RPF is. And yet, I am fucking thrilled that they are airing TWO new episodes of Chuck starting next week. It'll be the end of the season, but still.

3. Any news outlet that says the WGA strike isn't affecting TV is a fucking liar. Just saying. The Golden Globes are dust, the Grammys are on deck to be screwed and the Oscars are lookng iffy. No affect my ARSE!

4. I understand that people are excited about the new Torchwood, I am too, but guess what, not everybody has seen it? In fact, a lot of people haven't, so you know, not using your cut-tag for spoilers is just being an asshole.

5. antheia posted this photo in her LJ of part of the new Star Trak cast, to which I was like, wait, all that hotass is in the movie? Really? Where's the RPF? That's gonna be a HUGE fandom. Where's Zach and the new Kirk? So she linked me to this photo of Zach and Chris which spawned the following commentary:

hackthis: Oh, THIS is gonna be gaaaaaaaaay. They look so stiff together, is that the Milo & Hayden, 'No, really we're just good friends' stance or what?
antheia: I choose to believe that's exactly what it is. "Quick! Quick! Pretend we're not fucking!"
hackthis: Dude, can you smell what the Rock is cooking? Err, what the RPS is cooking? I CAN! I can see why JJ cast [actor X as Kirk].
antheia: *nod* It's not like he has to worry about upholding any kind of great acting tradition with the part, either. So that must be a relief.
hackthis: Pretty much!

Thank god for RPF or I would have to slash Kirk/Spock and that would be wrong.

Depending of how much chemistry they have in the movie, you may be eating those words around Christmas. Just saying. :-D

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Every time I start slashing them, I'll just think of William Shatner and then I'll go scrub out my brain, and everything will be okay.

Happily, I have never had problems with Spock/McCoy and with Karl Urban playing McCoy I will be happily slashing away.

God, whoever cast this movie was on the good crack.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I find it hysterical that you cannot slash the slash forefathers, but you know, I think Chris and Zach will be changing your mind the first time Spock offers to teach Kirk the Vulcan handshake. And yes, that's just as dirty as it sounds. Man, for someone who doesn't have any real ST knowledge (ST: TNG is another story) I am really kind of excited for all this hotassery.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

I know. I know. But William Shatner really does make me twitchy. Even young, kind of hot William Shatner. And I really have always been way more about McCoy/Spock than Kirk/Spock. You know with McCoy and Spock it was all bicker, bicker, bitch, bitch and then when they were all alone in the sickbay it was all naughty experiments with tricorders and kinky Vulcan sex against the wall.

You've been watching too much SGA. Your brain has been compromised. Did you look at that picture? They are SO doing it. Ignore Shatner, focus on Chris!

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Your brain has been compromised.

That's like the understatement of the century.

Chris is very, very adorable. And if he makes out with Zachary Quinto on set, I'd be willing to forget about that scary Shatner man.

[ranalore.livejournal.com]

Okay, the new Spock and Kirk are hot and all, but Karl Urban as my man McCoy? I am SO seeing this movie now!

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

I would have to slash Kirk/Spock and that would be wrong.

I just have to say this makes me giggle a LOT.

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

What? Everyone knows it's Spock/McCoy OTP!

[cleverthylacine]

Dude, K/S is the slash that brought us the slash. Like the union that brought us the weekend. Or something. (That said, I don't get the pairing either, but I will happily slash anyone with Spock if he's Sylarrific.)

The midseason drama "Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles" had the strongest debut of any new series this season.

Ahahahahhaa. And this in no way proves that the viewers are latching on to anything new that comes across their screens right now. Not at all. Not even a little bit.

Seriously, the writer's strike is all *over* the TV schedule and a lot of shows have had to feel a narrative impact. I'm certainly being affected. I wonder what that reporter was smoking.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

That reporter is smoking whatever his editor is telling him to smoke prolly.

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

Dude. WOLF TERRIFIES ME, NO LIE. *cowers*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Wolf is Sabertooth from X-Men with a day job. But I find him greatly entertaining and while not necessarily attractive, but endearing. What?

[antheia.livejournal.com]

I have to find and post it, but have you seen the clip of Wolf on Best Night Ever? OMG, I DIED FROM THE AWESOME.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Best Night Ever, what's that?

[antheia.livejournal.com]

Some VH-1 program. He's in the last minute or so.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You mean Best Week Ever?! I love Best Week Ever!

[antheia.livejournal.com]

I'm almost positive it was Best Night (or Day) Ever...

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh, okay. Hmmm.

[antheia.livejournal.com]

AHA! Not completely unhinged, you see. (http://www.bestweekever.tv/2008/01/14/vh1s-best-night-ever-with-jessica-st-clair/) He's in the last minute or so.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

So we were both right!

[antheia.livejournal.com]

Well, yes. I suppose the universe is probably better off for that...

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You were right about the title, but I was right about its geneology. See, everybody wins.

[antheia.livejournal.com]

Precisely.

Meanwhile, why haven't we discussed this? (http://community.livejournal.com/ohnotheydidnt/19438994.html)

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Where's Zach and the new Kirk?

Oh, helLO, hotass!


Also, why are Blaise's eyebrow's funky in that photo? He looks weirdly satanic or something.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It's the way the photo is cropped they cut off his chin and his skull, it's very Sylar of them. Also, dude, Zach and Chris... me entire thought was, 'damn, is Chris *supposed* to look like he'll fuck anything that walks and is that him being Kirk or him being him, because uh, I'll have to RPF that one in a heartbeat.'

[childermass.livejournal.com]

blaise ftw. :O smoking hot! and thanks for the star trek links. :D

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You're welcome!

[cleverthylacine]

OMFG that boy is hot.

[ethrosdemon.livejournal.com]

Blaise/Teddy 4evah. They are so star-crossed, though.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Just a little bit.

[vylit.livejournal.com]

Damn is Blaise hot. Like, um, wow with the hotness.

Also, the strike isn't affecting television? Dude, obviously they're smoking some potent shit.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Well, the DGA just made a deal, so who knows what's gonna happen now. (http://www.variety.com/VR1117979228.html)

I discovered the Sarah Connor Chronicles last night and I am so in love. That scene where the spanish girl was standing dead in front of Cameron had me screaming "make my L-word dreams come true." And I love how kick ass and neurotic crazy Sarah is. The show is sooo good.

Plus I feel like his mother was the prototype he used to design Cameron. Whoever John is in the future, he is fantastic. But present day, whines every minute John gets on my nerves.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I wrote my first Terminator story, err, two days ago? It's John/Cameron, where I posit some ideas about who/what Cameron really is.

I had to explain the strike to me Mum when she rung up to ask what had happened to Bones. She thought they'd moved it to another time-slot without her realising.

I am appalled on your behalf that people are failing to cut-tag Torchwood spoilers. You'd think everyone would know better by this point!

There are lots of things one would think people would know by now, sadly one would be wrong. And you know things are bad when you have to explain to your parents where all the telly programmes have gone.

Mother: Yes, but why have all the programmes gone?
Lazlet: Because they're asshats, mum.
Mother: Yes, quite right.

Oooh Blaise IS hot. *feels like a cradlesnatcher regardless of their ages*

And that Blaise is fine with me - I prefer my Theo to my Blaise anyway. But Blaise's casting further enfores my theory that all Slytherins should be hot.

On another note, Blaise AND Theo (and largely Draco) are pretty much exempt from the film canon for me anyway. They're canon based and fanon grown, and that's how I wanna keep them! *evil slashy grin*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Slytherins are hot by default. Yes.

[mir8lle.livejournal.com]

Ok, I have very little of substance to add. Instead I have to ask wtf is up with Chris's shoes? I'm not a fan.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

OMG! I was going to say something about them, but then I was like, 'now now, such hotassery needs to have some flaw. Somewhere. Also, I'm not feeling Zach's shoes either.

[mir8lle.livejournal.com]

They are both quite lacking in the shoe department. It's quite sad really.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I agree.

[ariadne83]

Mmmm, Karl Urban. I was spoiled in my formative years, growing up watching him play the gay nurse in my local soap... All I can say is, boykissing=yum
