From the BSG board at Hangar Deck 5: "That's my intelligent answer, my emotional answer is that I think she is a screeching howler monkey who isn't even smart enough to be ashamed of herself." -- Captain Tightpants I have to remember this one. It's just too funny. 🙂
Okay, I've had my bad!fic reality check for the day. *snicker* After reading some of the truly horrid and hysterically funny badfic's at badfic_quotes and other miscellaneous MST3K and "anti-fic" comms I can honestly say most BSG inspired bad!fic is not so bad.
It just occured to me I haven't posted about last night's Doctor Who ep. Doctor Who: Father's Day A number of British fans (and a few American fans who had already seen the episode via "other" means) had been telling me for quite some time that Father's Day was an excellent episode. I have to agree. I'd already come to like both Rose and the Doctor in previous episodes but this one cinched it for me. I think Rose may undergo a great realignment in her thinking now that she has had an experience of painful loss, though while not...
I was about to give up on finding decent BSG fic to read today after reading some of the less than stellar offerings on the net. I don't feel like I'm in a bad mood but there's a huge part of me that just wanted to trash some of the fics I read, especially the ones that had so many replies honestly liking the stories when it was obviously they were not very good. Thankfully Apollo's Lady had a new installment of her latest fic over at Adama Realm and I am now content. AL's Adamii-angst stories can sometimes wander...
Just a couple of quick Fruity Beverage Icons. Apparently the fruity drink pics got deleted from the camera, but scar_bsg75 had a different pic from who knows where. (Why? I have no clue and Scar isn't talking.) So here are two quick icons until something better crops up or I have time to clean them up a bit. A quick Fruity Beverage Fic icon A more garish Fruity Beverage Fic made at the suggestion of Scar
So BSG is over and scar_bsg75 is now hanging out with me until Doctor Who comes on in three hours. So while we wait it out... Favorite quotes for the day: "Wake up and smell the mockage, people!" -- scar_bsg75 after I shared some replies with Scar that were mistaken as praise for the Fruity Beverage Fic. "Shut up before I shank you with a dull butterknife." --My friend and classmate, M.A. "You're no Wile E. Coyote." -- Classmate D.R. to classmate J.D. on his lack of engineering skills.
Yay! BSG "The Captain's Hand"- one of my favorites :-). I've decided Lee is still my favorite BSG character, though I like them all in varying degrees. Doctor Who "Father's Day"-- I still can't believe I missed last weeks ep, even the repeat. 🙁
I was surfin' on the Net one day In the merry, merry month of May April I clicked on FF.net It has some really bad fic And now I wish I hadn't surfed today! (No offense is intended towards FF.net. The bad!fic on the other hand...) Note to self: Upload bad!fic Userpic.
So I've read the Jonja.net interview Dirk Benedict gave and I have to second the unofficial_bsg blog's note that he seemed too serious and comparing BSG "with the downfall of conservative civilization was a bit of a stretch". Other than that I thought he was a still a bit arrogant and condescending towards Katee Sackhoff (but then my impression is he can be quite arrogant and condescending on many a subject, the de Santos and Hatch business and the dissolution of his Hollywood career for example). Otherwise he seemed like a reasonably honest man of conservative values.
