188: Nothing Maddens Like Wine. Unless It Is Other Drugs.

Feb 15, 2009 19:12

Normally, I celebrate Valentine's Day by recommending gen. Yes, I am ever the devil. But this year, I couldn't get a set together in time for the 14th, so instead I am going to commemorate something more appropriate for the day after the Big Love Day: intoxication and addiction stories!

Look, it makes sense in my head, okay?

ReGenesis is awesome, and the characters are very human and real, but watching it made me always very afraid of dying from plagues, so it was kind of a double edged sword.

You're in GERMANY. How did you get your hands on this show?

*sulks*

But, really, I'm already afraid of dying from plagues - it's why I don't eat meat anymore, or part of why - so I think ReGenesis is a good fit, here.

Heh, the same way as I get my hands on other American and Canadian shows. *g* Though actually the series is even being aired here, the German/French state-sponsered culture channel ARTE is showing it.

It makes sense in my head too...thanks for these, just the post-Valentines fix I needed.

See, yes! First comes love, then comes gifts of chocolate and flowers, and then comes public intoxication and possibly some barfing!

...I'm guessing you can kind of see why we don't celebrate Valentine's. (Well. That, and also we had the extreme brain failure of having our anniversary on the 14th of February.)

ReGenesis is basically science ninjas. Except with more plagues and a couple of explosions and trying to cure AIDS with bread. A skeevy American government conspiracies. Some really amazing impossible genetic science. David walking around in the buff. (Really, it's like he's a mix of McKay, House and Kirk.) Wow, I miss it. Now I'm going to have to go dig it up and watch it again (but not the last episode, because that was mind bogglingly bad.)

I neeeeed this show. For one thing, who doesn't want to see a mix of McKay, House, and Kirk? NOT ME. Although I'm not sure the universe could contain such a creature, I am willing to be convinced.

I'm talking about Regenesis' Let's Not Talk About It and Say We Did. Thanks SO much for this *hugs you madly*

Yuletide, man. It contains almost all the fan fiction anyone could wish! It is an awesome thing, and I'm glad I could connect you to your heart's desire. (Well, the story your heart desires, anyway. That's pretty much the extent of my powers. *g*)

*hugs madly back*

birggitt February 17 2009, 10:51:19 UTC

And awesome powers they are *g*
Yes, Yuletide... Last time I risk myself on that waters, I ended with a bunch of new books to read. How's that possible?
