It's been a few months since I posted anything, and I've been trying to think of something other than "eh, heh...been a while" to use as a return to livejournal.

Unfortunately, I'm here to flail about this:

NJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ!!! I've missed you! It's been far too long since I've gotten to talk to you. (Is your # still the same?)

The show looks interesting but Erica Durance makes me take pause. Smallville has made me not like her very much. LOL. Is the guy in the coma going to stay in those clothes the entire show? That state can't last for more than a season, right? What channel is that on?

BTW, who is the other guy that has an accent that isn't half the surgeon your favorite is? He kind of looks like Stephane Lambiel, the figure skater, lol.

The Voice! Adam and Blake routinely duke it out for who is my favorite, lol.

Oh Smash. Christian Borle is cracking me up! LOL.

HI DARLING!!!!!!!!!!!!! (It is indeed the same. I just sort of cocoon myself off when I get home from work at the end of the day

[lapiccolina]

Oh man, why so early?

[normative_jean]

To be fair, the sun still doesn't rise until about 9am, so being up for work by definition involves being up before the sun, OTOH, the sun rises by 9am!

...The things you learn to be excited about in Alaska make me sad, lol.

Hey girl!

That show looks really good, but shows like that kind of scare me because they look like they'd make better movies.

I still can't decide about heroinebigbang either! Well, I know I want to do it, I just don't know who...(though Robin is becoming a stronger possibility...kind of like the idea of going back to my fannish roots...)

[normative_jean]

Hi you!

Honestly, I think the show itself looks pretty bad, lol. But I'm usually not a fan of mystical-medical shows anyway, so. No doubt the concept will get abused and eventually screwed up, and the mythology behind MS's out of body experience will have no sense of continuity. Just a feeling I have, based on shows he's worked on previously, lol. It's a Canadian show, though, so maybe it'll be like on the BBC, where they have limited runs?

Yay, indecisiveness ftw! I got sick a few weeks ago and rewatched a show I loved/hated, and it gave me an idea that I plotted out (why do I watch shows that treat women characters so poorly?). Doing something for Robin definitely has appeal, even if I can't even THINK about her exit without curling up into a little ball of sorrow (I have no qualms about bugging YOU to write something, of course...). Oh well, sign-ups are open for a while, yet.

Honestly, a concept like that doesn't really have more than 8-13 episodes in it.

And what show would that be?

That's the thing- can I seriously write about ROBIN? But I want to. I do.

[normative_jean]

No, it really does not. Not that that's ever stopped a tv show before. Maybe if he awakens from his coma he retains the power to talk to other comatose people? Yes, this is how my brain functions at 7:30 in the morning.

Hee, Stargate Atlantis. The Stargate-verse and I have a long and sordid history together, but they always had awesome female characters who they were physically incapable of doing justice to, so I always sort of defaulted to fixing things in my head.

YES, you can! Robin deserves all the love ever, so even if you did a mini-bang for her...not that I'm trying to enable you or anything, lol.

ELIJAH!!!!!!!!!!!! Hahaha, omg, I'm sorry, that's all I got out of that promo. Well, besides Shanks shanking it up.

Moves Like Jagger

I swear she'd written more, but maybe not.
