More terrorism, mutiny, resistance and tough calls

BSG

As ever, I watched three eps in one go, and the first two (Sacrifice, The Captain’s Hand) belong together, but the third (Downloaded) was something else. ( Read more... )

Recs 10/10

I feel justified for splitting the last batch, because I can slip in Snowy Weather by

small_hobbit (Sanditon (TV) Esther/Babington). Written for me! Esther and Babington talk themselves out of going to a party. It weaves the song the prompt references in well.

And here are my final recs for the year. Again, nothing from this year's Yuletide, but fics and fanvids in the following fandoms: Timeless; The Wood Wife; Wonder Woman; X-men movievers;; Zootopia; and Original fic.

Thoughts on Community season 4 (second half)

Back in October, I posted an overview of my thoughts about the first half of Community season 4, as watched on DVD. I've now nearly finished watching the second disc (bar a few commentaries. So far, the commentaries have been variable in quality.) Here are my thoughts: ( Read more... )</cut?

Reposted Dark Angel fic:Two 'Gill Girl' ficlets

Title: Looks like Alec’s type
Fandom: Dark Angel
Rating: G
Word count: 150
First posted: March 2006
Summary: He always goes for the ones he can’t have.

Notes: Alec’s POV during the Three for Twofers section of ‘Gill Girl’ (spoilers up to ‘The Berrisford Agenda’.) Canonical het. With thanks to FirdayAngel for the beta.

( Looks like Alec’s type: shallowness )

Title: The princess in her net
Fandom: Dark Angel
Rating: PG
Word count: 200
First posted: March 2006
Summary: Whatever Max does, some stories don’t have a happy ending.

Notes: Set after ‘Gill Girl’, should be read after ‘Looks like Alec’s type’, though it can stand alone. With thanks to FirdayAngel for the beta.

Downton Abbey goes to the Movies

Downton Abbey 2019

( Short version: Like a Christmas special with a bigger budget. Maggie Smith as the Dowager Countess of Grantham YAY! )

Trailerwatch: Now I have more of a feel for what The Aeronauts will be like and I think I'll go see it. Cats...is better if you close your eyes and listen to Jennifer Hudson sing her heart out. Like many things, it would have been better animated. Not going to see it.

post and run

Well done Killing Eve on all its BAFTAs. I can’t get worked up about them changing the rules for the show to be eligible because I thought it was so excellent. And as it was home turf, good on Comer for winning it – I think of her and Oh as co-leads, really. I have avoided second series spoilers, but obviously my response to seeing the Beeb’s mini trailer is ‘Date, please.’
