Okay! So, my BFFs at Uni have expressed interest (after much prodding, whining, berating, flailing, etc. on my part) in watching sci-fi with me. My problem is, I don't know which show to start them on! They are basically n00bs. They know the difference between Star Trek and Star Wars, thankgod, but beyond that they're very much, little green men? / dude, they're grey. / Huh? They also aren't fannish people. No fandom, no weird obsessions to speak of, definitely not the type of get really, really into television. ...unless, of course, their lives have just been bleak and empty without sci-fi and they are about to discover how epic it is. We shall see.

So! I need help deciding which show to start them on.

SGA is my personal favorite, and the one I'm most invested in, and therefore if they don't like it, my soul will be crushed. But it's also the least intense - not a lot of cliffhangers, not a lot of continuity, or deep metaphors, or intense story arcs. It's just fun and campy and witty and awesome, and it has John/Lizzeh. Also, I have all the DVDs with me. So no obnoxious streaming.

BSG is probably a better show, it has more depth and arcs and character development, and also has epic romance. But even though it's probably "better" in terms of writing and cinematography, etc., it might be too intense, you know? But on the other hand, I'm not as invested in BSG, so if they don't like it, I will be sad, but I won't have to pick up the pieces of my Elizabeth-loving soul.

And Farscape is probably The Best in terms of, well, everything. And it also has really hot people. But it also has muppets, and is more "out there" than the other two, and might be too much for their newbie sci-fi hearts to handle.

Dilemma. I has it.


ALSO. and I were talking, and she humored me and agreed that having an Elizabeth Fic Fest is a good idea. It would be after the secret santas, probably around January or something, and would be the same format as [livejournal.com profile] cuddy_fest, where anyone can submit prompts for Elizabeth-themed fic (gen is preferable, as are rare pairings, but John/Lizzie is of course acceptable), and after the prompts are collected, they are posted and people can comment and choose what they want to write. It's not an exchange, more of a free for all. So. Please vote?

What work? What are you talking about? John and Lizzeh! DUH.

Constant Satellite - A John and Lizzeh are so totally adorable I don't understand how you can stand it, fanmix. @ [livejournal.com profile] sail_your_sea! Contains artists such as: Laura Marling, Stars, Tegan & Sara, Billy Bragg & Wilco, Billie Holiday... it's eclectic. And happy! ....mostly. Because John and Lizzeh are mostly happy. Especially when they're having off-screen sexytimes, which they so totally are.

- Uploaded for [livejournal.com profile] just_schtupp : Schuyler Fisk and Mary Chapin Carpenter randomness here.

- Uhh... so much for flisting. FML. I'll get to it! I can flist on Tuesday in PSL... since we don't learn anything anyway. Horray! Oy.

- I feel like I had other randomness to spam you with... Charlie had a little freakout last night and I had to shut him down, thus losing all my tabs... hrm. *thinks*

- Maybe I'll update this post randomly throughout the day with details of my boring existence / papers I should be working on.

- Grocery shopping! That's what I need to do at some point. And go to the gym. Blarg.

- Essay! Go! Now! But John! Lizzeh!

- I want Cuddy/Lizzeh fic. *looks very, very pointedly at [livejournal.com profile] antiqueskies* (I haven't annoyed you in DAYS about that! I figured you were due. ^^)
