What's on tap for today.

[hackthis_archive]

From delux_vivens:

Let's make it really clear, people. If you identify as a POC/nonwhite person and you read or watch scifi or fantasy, give yourself a name check in this thread. I am particularly wanting shoutouts from people who do not live in the US and who have still managed to read genre fiction.

I'm tired of people trying to render us invisible unless they have been given a memo about our existences.

It should go without saying that this particular activity is not for white people, but I know sometimes people need things spelled out. Like assuming that obviously POCs don't read or engage with SF/Fantasy just because we're not written INTO said stories. Let me stop now before I give myself a headache.

Other items:

1) Dear NBC:

If you put Southland on Friday, I will cut a bitch. Don't think I won't.

No love,
X

2) Southland people,

Michael says he was driving a Dodge Challenger in last week's episode. Uh. When was this and where was I? Because anybody who's been around these parts knows that I have a natural fetish affinity for three things: music, cars, and sarcastic, intelligent, slightly broken men, so if two of these three things were in the same place, namely *that* man driving *this car*, I WOULD HAVE NOTICED. And already written about it.

3) Also, does anybody have the following albums: Seal 'Soul'; The Sam & Ruby EP, The Knux 'Remind Me in 3 Days'; The New York Fund 'Guns EP' I reckon most of these artists are too indie (except for Seal) for anybody to have what I'm looking for, but you guys are always surprising me so...

A Dodge Challenger? For real? Is he saying the squad car was a Challenger? Because what other car did he drive in that ep?

music, cars, and sarcastic, intelligent, slightly broken men

yes please!

See lazlet's comment below. I'm thinking they edited something out, because I do NOT remember this. I would remember that. You *know* I'm remember that, because there would probably have to be sex on the hood -- you know how I feel about sex in cars.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

you know how I feel about sex in cars.

Hmmm. Maybe you can remind me by writing a scene with Cooper and Ben and a car sometime soon...

[lazulus]

At the end of the ep when Cooper was driving home and stopped his car because there was a tree or something blocking the road. Dodge Challenger. I thought it was adorable that even though he was off duty he was still ready to be on duty. *hearts*

[oops!]

I DID NOT SEE THIS? WHEN WAS THIS AND WHERE WAS I?

[lazulus]

Right at the end of the ep!!! Cooper gets out of his car in a black t-shirt and puts on his police jacket and lights a flare to mark the fallen tree [?] and then tells a woman that a UFO crash landed when she asks a stupid question!

I WAS PAYING ATTENTION.

[lazulus]

I just checked and it's at 38 mins 40 secs in on the file I am watching.

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Ohhh, I think I assumed that he was still on duty! Although that does explain why Ben wasn't in that scene, duh. I will have to go home and look at the ep again. What a hardship.

[lazulus]

Poor you. Well, if you can bear to suffer through it again...

[sparky77.livejournal.com]

Okay, I lied about going to sleep and now my brain is a very happy place. Sex in cars! Sex on motorcycles! And sex ON cars as opposed to in cars.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Sex in cars suxxors. Do not do!

[skyenapped.livejournal.com]

Okay, wow, I think I noticed the car but didn't realize I noticed it...until now.

If they move it to the Friday deathslot I will...help you cut a bitch!! NBC is the source of my endless rage lately.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Your icon is perfect.

[thisisbone.livejournal.com]

NBC is stupid.

There, that made me feel a little better.

They think pairing Trauma and Heroes makes sense? That makes about as much sense as pairing Chuck with Southland. *smacks forehead*

Jesus Christ, people. How hard is it to put Trauma and Southland together and Chuck and Heroes together?

I wonder if Southland is going to air in the fall and Friday Night Lights in the spring? Because if Nikki's right, then Southland just got FNL's typical slot. Which is okay, since it's not coming back until January, but still. Friday is such a kiss of death. Although! FNL is coming back for S4, so you never know!

Could I ramble any more? Aren't you supposed to be bending Sherman over the hood of Cooper's car?

I love how you just make sure to get your point in there. As for this particular matter, there is a project in the embryoic stages that I will not talk about, but I assure you, you will enjoy it.

Sad but true: I identified the car as a Challenger right away because the back windows match the ones on Gibbs's car on NCIS. (Which is a 1970 Dodge Challenger with a hemi. Cooper's is cooler because it's black -- Gibbs's is canary yellow.)

I was in the other room so when I walked in he was just putting down the flare and then the woman rolled up and I just assumed it was a long shift. I was wrong wasn't I? I shall have to see it again. Life is hard.

[redheadaholic.livejournal.com]

I was at a baseball game, flipping through the program and came across a picture of the new Challenger. Apparently, I moaned loud enough for the friend next to me to actually hear. So, know you aren't alone in your kinks!

Yes, please, as much sex ON cars as possible in The Epic.

I think these links should still be working, I had to split the album into two parts to upload it to mediafire, if that doesn't work for you let me know and I can upload it somewhere else.

The Knux "Remind Me in 3 Days"
pt.1 (http://www.mediafire.com/?gjmozmxmjjg)
pt.2 (http://www.mediafire.com/?2owznyiw2tw)

SWEETNESS! I will try them out now.

OH, BABY. You get today's gold star. Trufax.

so i figured that's why nbc airs "southland" twice... so we can catch the stuff we missed the first time in our "whee!cooper" state. =) i usually don't go anywhere on friday nights except the gym, so i guess i'll be home watching "southland" and "chuck". but i know most people like to go out and do fun stuff on friday nights... isn't friday night the kiss of programming death? a pox on you, nbc. and TPTB canceled "life". wtf people?! don't they know that you can never get enough of the ex-band of brothers on network tv? or well-acted, well-written, interesting and intriguing scripted programming?

egads, i remember when they moved "homicide" to fridays. augh. actually, for awhile, it was like "where's waldo" to figure out which night "homicide" was on. sigh. i still miss frank and tim.

and thank you very much for mentioning that thread. i'll be checking in, since i am a POC who adores SF and has even been to a worldcon (yeah, super geek points, right?). just to digress for a bit... so i am an asian-american and i identify myself as "person of color". imagine my surprise when a friend of friend laughed when i identified myself that way in the middle of a conversation (this happened recently) and said, "you're not of color! you're like white." um, so i guess i just didn't get the memo then. {sigh}

No, I'm pretty sure *that* person didn't get the memo. I hate it when other people make their ignorance your (generic you) problem.

You know Southland is the second program I'd watch because Of your love. I really like but I have to admite I like to see Regina King kick it with some woman. Hee.

yes I am a bi woman of color.
