I've been watching

comment_fic and totally failing to participate, for no good reason. I finally decided to take a spin through the lonely prompts post, on the theory that even a bad day of fic is better than a lot of other things.

And because I have a horror of a giant html snafu, this is also my test playground for comment-ficage.

Due South - Fraser/RayK, on the trail - I can't even get *established relationship* Fraser out of his clothes in a single comment

Stargate: SG-1 Sam/Cam, rank. three sentence fic

Stargate: Atlantis, Rodney/Radek, better lab space three sentence fic

( In...somethingorother. Intruder? Whatever tonight's ep was called )

Apparently there is a Stargate kerfluffle about characters who may or may not be canonically gay. I'm really not tied into fandom discussions, but it seemed worth digging into a little.

It turns out, having dug, that I... really don't care. I mean, I care in the sense that I care that people might be writing narrowminded or wrongheaded things, but I really don't care about SGA canon. But I went to read Joe Mallozzi's blog entry about it anyway. Well, I skimmed it at least. The post is about romantic relationships, and lack thereof and shipping and whatever.

This was my favorite part (in emphasis, mine):

"As for Sheppard - I consider him an even bigger loner than Ronon, an incredibly tough nut to crack. If anyone was going to do it, I don’t think it would be someone who just walked into his life. Rather it would have to be someone he knew (and knew him well in turn), someone he had a history with. Teyla would have been a possibility but, alas, she has settled down with the babysitter of her child - Kanaan."

I am having a hard time finding the pattern or arc or anything in the remaining episodes of Atlantis. It just seems sort of drifty. Introducing the new evil/self-centered race, and the coalition or whatever, and then being all... I just don't know. I'd rather just have a bunch of random standalone someone gets taken hostage/threatened by and Act of God/technology stories to wind down.

Also, I am totally on board with the brilliance of Woolsey as the expedition leader? Including its potential for comedy, though I'm more fond of his personal and management quirks than I am of taking the "Woolsey doesn't know how to use the doors" route.

( Read more... )

some of my favorites (so far - that's a lot of stories to read!) from this year's

sg_rarepairings. I don't read much stargate fic lately, and I'm pretty sure this is the first thing I've read by these authors. As much as I love Rodney, I think I'm McShepped out for a while, so I was glad to find some variety.

gen, pre-ship and/or fluff
Champagne and Caviar by

facetofcathy Carter/Sheppard, G. Pitch-perfect banter.

Statistical Improbabilities by

beanpot Carter/McKay, PG. I would totally spoil my favorite thing about this story by mentioning it. Beyond that, Carter and McKay have an evening influenced by alternate universes.

Tell me what you want by

wraithsinger Carter/McKay, PG-13. A return to the enormous but inappropriately expressed crush that Rodney used to have on Carter.

The trouble with Griks by

world_of_blade Carter/Lorne, G. A mission results in an unpleasant addition to the Atlantis population.

As dreamers do by

sardonicsmiley Lorne/Zelenka, PG. Date!fic.

angst
Still Running by

bluflamingo Lorne/Sheppard, PG-13. Aftermath of Lorne and Sheppard being stranded off-world together, interspersed with some Lorne character study. I'm still looking for words that adequately describe this, but suffice it to say that it's really good. She's got a few other excellent Lorne/Sheppard fics at her lj, along with other stuff I haven't had a chance to read yet.

Current Mood: hopeful

So... allegory for the United States as a superpower? Except rather than taking the time to hash out a discussion of the actual ethical complications of Earthlings' actions in Pegasus we got a clip show.

So instead of discussing the episode in any depth, I will instead say: Wait a second, how have I been watching this show for 5 seasons without realizing that Col. Sumner was T-1000? I can not even count how many times either the visit to Athos or shooting Sumner has been referenced in fic, and I had no idea who he was.

angry mob, featuring someone wielding an honest-to-goodness pitch fork = total win.
( also )

The Office is back! Actual proposal, not quite as awesome as fake proposal and real ring, but still, hooray!

How did I manage to miss due South when it was first on? Actually, I guess I was in college at the time, which was tied for not having cable as my lowest TV-watching time, but still. So awesome. I probably appreciate it more now though.

Joshua Jackson in Fringe. Still. Grumpy McFrownsalot, not so much, but maybe she'll grow on me.

Stargate: Atlantis what with its new (maybe) villain, dramatic exploding things, and competent Zelenka saving the/someone's day. And Woolsey's insistence on not having the entire senior staff traipse off together somewhere. Of course, that just means that they're all going to have to save themselves individually.

Could you describe the ruckus, sir?

Screws fall out all the time; the world is an imperfect place
