What, more talk of tv?

[thisfishflies]

All day I've been dithering. I can't decide to watch Torchwood or not. I mean, I  know it is wonderful and everything, but I feel a bit guilty. I haven't seen any Doctor Who and it feels like I should, before.

But, I felt a similar feeling about Stargate Atlantis. The only thing that made that better was that I had watched many episodes of SG1 over the years. Sure, it's been haphazard and almost accidental, but I knew the back-story and could follow the plot easily. I knew the characters and don't get too confused when reading fics with crossovers (I still am a bit iffy on Mitchell. I've only seen one episode with him.) Plus, I'm making up for that now, slowly working my way through all of SG1.

I feel worse about the Doctor Who/Torchwood thing. I don't particularly want to watch Doctor Who. I know, it is also supposed to be wonderful and shiny and everything that is good. I just. I have some strange compulsion to not watch it. I've had similar feelings for other things, and I can't do anything to overcome it. I refused to watch Firefly for years.I held out on Supernatural until just a few weeks ago. I'm slowly working up to The Sentinel, too.

Only, I've finally gotten around to watching Merlin. Something about watching it made me want to watch Torchwood. I've been watching the first episode in bits and pieces until I fall back to Merlin. It is a strange form of ADD, I supose.

If I don't get through the first season of Torchwood soon I might do something drastic like watch Life On Mars, yet another thing I should have seen already. I mean, I've downloaded it on two seperate computers. You think it'd be watched by now.

Damn my strange form of tv series comitment-phobia. There really is something wrong with my brain.

XD You don't have to enjoy or watch dr.who to like torchwood, really. It can stand alone as a show on its own unless there are deliberate crossovers.

same for stargate atlantis, really.I am fond of both series, but atlantis has a special place in my heart because of Rodney.

Merlin is also something I want to see!

[thisfishflies.livejournal.com]

I know. But, I still feel guilty. It;s the same way I feel guilty about enjoying sitcoms. I mean- they are not really continuous or anything- they don't have any over-reaching arcs or anything, but I still feel bad if I didn't start at the beginning. I can't watch The Office because of that.


Merlin is lovely. There is a slash dragon and evil water witches and knights and pretty pretty princes. There is so much pretty you could die of it. And- the gay. It is good and glorious.
You should download or watch it online. It is something everyone needs to see, right now.

(I feel that same about all my fandoms. Which distresses my friends when I email them and pester them about watching them. I've only gotten one friend to watch SGA. I'll have to lock several of them in a room with me for a few days and have a marathon. It is the only way to make them listen. This is how I got them to watch Scrubs, House, Numb3rs, due South, Always Sunny, Monk, and Psych. I got a whole group of them to watch the whole first season of Slings & Arrows at a Christmas party. That was a good day.)

You watch most of the shows I watch and I WANT TO WATCH the other ones!

Wow my sentence structure is bad. xD I hate sitcoms on principle. Also, I'm lame. :B

[thisfishflies.livejournal.com]

Fandom is a wonderful place. Lately I've been seeing the same people in several different comms or with the same stories favorite'd. It makes my heart go all \0/ when other have the same interest. It is totally awesome.

I have to stop myself from going "We like the same things! We should be friends for life!" Mostly because I am a bad person and have not read another person's journal unless it had fannish things.

I mean, I just now looked at yours. And you have a doodle about a postman. I think I sorta love you for that. And it makes me want to do more of my strange doodles.

If I went back to using LJ for people and not fandom, would I discover more awesome doodles about bad career choices? Because that is both awesome and depressing.

I AM RAMBLING. I HAVE NOT HAD A NAP. YOU CAN IGNORE THIS OR INDULGE ME. IT WILL STILL END UP WITH ME DIGGING OUT MY TABLET AND DRAWING STRANGE ANIMAL AND STICK FIGURES MAKES ABSURD COMMENTS. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

*SNORTS* Hey, I didn't sleep at ALL LAST NIGHT. I MEAN ITTTTT. Its like, we invaded each others brains. D:

*chucks on some silverchair* But yeah. I don't get heavily into fandom. I'm not good at stuff like that, but I love reading stories and commenting on them hence the random friending (ack!) and the fact that I ended up friending someone awesome is a bonus! A welcome one!

My postman is sad and retarded and should've stayed a freelance journalist. Maybe then my post office would work properly. :(

I have random fits of fucking weird, just warning you. xD I'm like BLAH CHECK THIS OUT and everyone's all WHY DO YOU EXIST and I'm all B: My work here is done.

[thisfishflies.livejournal.com]

Random fits of weird are good. I have fits where I write short stories about the nearest thing to me. Once it was dinosaur toys. I named them and it turned out that they all worked in a law office. The paralegal, Sampson, killed the two partners. He then died of blood poisoning in jail.

http://pics.livejournal.com/thisfishflies/pic/0000rdst

That is him. I need to find where I wrote out the whole story. It is so wonderful.

[severedscythe.livejournal.com]

That is so epically awesome, I'm not even kidding. I'm just like LOL ORIGINAL CHARACTER BASHING WHOOPS a lot of the time, but when the fits of the Weird! strike I'm stuck there for DAYS.

<3 Dinosaurs!

[thisfishflies.livejournal.com]

Dinosaurs rock. Recently a friend bought some while at a dollar store. When she visits for spring break we are planning on having an epic battle with them. I think she got some cowboys and indians, too. I have army men.

When I explain this to people at work, they just ask how old I am.

I wish I could remember that quote some famous person had about putting away their childish things when they got older or something. There might have been one where that was a bad thing or something.

[severedscythe.livejournal.com]

I think that quote was from the bible, right next to the bit about lesbians eating shellfish.

I fucking love dinosaurs. I've got a bunch of them about somewhere and I've got like, three bags of army men at various points. xD I need to get more psychadelic dinosaurs. The ones at the dollar store near me are NEON.

[thisfishflies.livejournal.com]

YES! And two-tone, right? Those are the best, because they have the names on the bottom. I work at a nursery (with, like, children. I fit right in) and I always steal some of the dinosaurs to play with when it is slow. Yesterday was all about the ankylosaur. It is my new favorite.

Ah, I always mess up the bible bits. All I can remember is that salt is people and I will get money when I betray Jesus.Also that god loves fish, as they are the only things he didn't drown in the flood. Or something. Maybe Eddie Izzard said that.

[severedscythe.livejournal.com]

Mine just say MADE IN CHINA. And DO NOT INGEST. So I'm guessing that ankylosaur (hee anklesaur) would be bad for my health.

I find the whole thing inherently hilarious. My dad's a registered priest so I attempt to drive him nuts. xD I start going on about tattoos( which he has) and trimmed beards (which he has) and lesbians (which he does not have) and shellfish (which he also does not have) and he ends up muttering to himself and walking away. I'm waiting for the exorcism.

I'm sorry if I cannot be reached at the moment. I DIED OF SQUEE.

This? Why you should watch Merlin. Besides all the other things. I swear I just saw it was a crossover and I came. God, I'm a crossover whore.

[severedscythe.livejournal.com]

*flops all over it in GLEE* DID YOU READ THAT EPIC MERLIN AU FIC?

http://www.glitterati.talkoncorners.net/drp/drp.html THAT ONE? I have not even seen it and it made me grin because BRITISH. SO VERY BRITISH.

*flails summore*

[thisfishflies.livejournal.com]

XDDDD I just read it again, like, a half an hour ago. Srsly. The tab is still open, even.

This is the fandom hivemind.

*joins the flailing*

[severedscythe.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen the series yet, but do want! Hurry up channel ten and give it to meeeee.

I've only heard good things.

[thisfishflies.livejournal.com]

I'm only half way through watching. Because I keep getting distracted by fic.

's good thing I don't mind spoilers because if they are wrapped in smut it can only be a good thing.

[severedscythe.livejournal.com]

XDD I don't mind them either unless they make me incredibly angry. XD

[thisfishflies.livejournal.com]

Psst.

Dumbledore is killed by a sled named Rosebud because soylent green has a penis. It is also his father. Three days later he rises from his grave and sees dead people.
