shah_of_blahJust in general--I don't know what I'm talking about. It's occurred to me that I haven't posted anything about bsg since the week after the finale, which is odd since I still consider bsg to be my primary fandom (arguably only--I post about other shows but don't engage in particularly fannish activities). But then again, it makes sense since when the show was on hiatus I posted only a few times a month (mostly when I had fic, or something relevant to share). And I will still be posting bsg fic. I have one that's in the editing stage, one that I've just begun, and two more plottish fics (one is a Firefly crossover). But in the meantime, I'm not sure what to do bsg-wise with this journal. So, uh, I'm posting to say that I do not know what to post. Instead of writing my research paper.
No, I have another thing to talk about! Lost & Found, you know, Katee's pilot that I really, really want to see on the small screen. NBC has not announced it for the fall schedule, but there's still a chance they'll pick it up for the midseason slot. And if anyone wants to help out, there is more information at Lost & Found Online. And omg I want her hair in that picture.
Hmm, what else? Lost! I liked Lost this week, mostly. I like Richard.
I groaned inwardly when the little picture for the episode on abc.com was of Jack because I do not care about him at all. Or Kate. So, when Richard was all "I totes saw them die!" I was sort of like, "Lost, you are such a tease. Getting my hopes up like that. But you won't have the guts to follow through." And then the guy was pointing a gun at Kate, and then there was a gunshot and for many seconds I legit thought they'd just killed Kate. Imagine my disappointment when I learned the truth after the ad break. But then I was actually surprised when Kate said something that I liked--something about since when is it alright to kill kids and detonate hydrogen bombs. Because yeah, since when is that alright?
But I like Sayid so the questionable morality doesn't bother me too much. He and Hurley were the best things about this episode.
Also, I like Sawyer and Juliet but the gender dynamics were really pissing me off when the Dharma guys were beating them up. Or rather, beating up Sawyer because he can take it while they wait for Juliet to crack, and then hitting her just once to make Sawyer cave... Because Sawyer just has to be the manly man and take the abuse and protect his woman. Jack was doing it too with Kate. And I was all "Kara and Lee see each other as equals. And Chuck and Sarah are pretty much the opposite of Sawyer and Juliet." So, way to have boring, patriarchal, heteronormative gender roles, Lost. Okay, /rant.
