Fringe, Merlin, Legend of the Seeker, Psych

Stargate Atlantis

3: What fandoms did you mean to get into but didn’t in 2008? Why?
I keep saying I’m going to try BSG, but it hasn’t happened yet.

4: What fandoms do you intend on checking out in 2009?
I’m going to try BSG, I suppose.

5: What fandoms do you think you might let go of in 2009 unless things significantly improve?
Heroes is still a favorite, but I don’t think it will last much longer, so it could be a forced let go.

6: What fandoms do you think you’ll never let go of no matter how crappy they get? Why?
Doctor Who springs to mind. Though not shows, LOTR and The Hobbit will never be let go–ever.

7: What show impressed you most in 2008?
Doctor Who was amazing. Legend of the Seeker was a surprise, so maybe it was the one that impressed me most.

8: What show impressed you least in 2008?
Stargate Atlantis.

Legend of the Seeker
I haven’t said much about this show, but I have to admit that it is one of my favorites. This is my first time following a show that airs only in syndication, but I’m sure to catch every episode (DVR helps, of course). I haven’t read the book series the show is based on (The Sword of Truth), so I have the luxury of watching without criticizing, and maybe that’s part of my admiration. The cinematography is stunning and I like that the characters seem “real” in that they aren’t necessarily modelesque (though the 7th episode may challenge my notion on that front). If you find yourself with nothing to do this weekend, look the show up and give it a try.

I read this week that NBC is NOT going to show Merlin now, due to needing airtime to show more episodes of fat people trying to lose weight. Boo them. Not the fat people–NBC. For anyone wanting to see it, just let me know. :wink2:

In continuing my geekish fandom posts, I’m going to start posting my “Top 5” elements from various fandoms from now until the rest of year. I’d love to see if you share any of them! Check back soon! :elf:

I know my friends list is small (and beloved), but I need a little help. I know I’ve been away from LJ for quite a bit, but I come asking for help anyway. Hee!

Every fandom community I join becomes overrun with ICONZ! Look at my 450 ICONZ! Look at my 78 ICONZ (DO NOT ALTER!!!1!!). I joined many fandom communities because they claim to have graphics (i.e. wallpapers, posters, etc.) only to find that it’s more like: 162 ICONZ, 200 ICONZ in unrelated fandom, and 1 wallpaper. Arrgh.

My question: Can you recommend any nice, graphics-based fandom communities (with moderate amounts of iconage)? I’m not that particular as to which fandoms are represented, and the only fandoms that I wouldn’t be interested in are LOST and BSG.

I never post anymore. There’s no existential rationale, I just don’t post. I’m still into the same fandoms, and that may be the reason; no new loves. Schoolwork in general is another good reason. It’s not that my classes are difficult, or even that I’m busy doing my work (which I haven’t), they just kind of weigh on my mind. We had a lovely snowday today, and though one of my classes was to meet in Beckley, it was canceled. Hurrah! Did I use the time to catch up on my work?

Nope.

Slept.

Happily.

Two hour delay for tomorrow, too.   :flake:
