Fandom Hate

2 Comments

I have an abundance of fandom love. I have delved deep into various ‘ships, groups, and singularities. With such passion, comes the converse. The fandom hate. Only once before have the two collided; when John and Aeryn became Cameron and Vala. I dealt with it quite well and even embraced both characters and actors. I have a feeling it will NOT be the case this time.

The ugly girl from Veronica Mars is joining Heroes. I don’t like Kristen Bell. I have no rational reason, I just don’t like her look or her style. My dislike of her exceeds that of Firefly tenfold. I love Heroes, however, so her appearances will not deter me from the fandom unless she becomes too much of a focus. With the number of new actors they are adding, there’s a chance she won’t be featured too much, so I’m not ringing the alarm just yet.

The Doctor Who casting news is actually unconfirmed at this time, but it makes perfect sense if you’ve seen the last episode of Series 3. Joan Collins will make for a very interesting villain, but meeting more and more Time Lords and Ladies kind of takes away from the mythology of the new series. That said, I’m looking forward to her arc if the casting rumor is true.

Enough fun, I’m off to work!

To Quote Cameron Mitchell

NOT YET, WALTER! NOT YET! S09.Ep03 “Origin” : Cam and Teal’c were going to free Daniel and Vala from their connection with Harrid and Sallis by throwing the Ancient device into the energy vortex of the gate. Walter was dialing the gate, and they needed perfect timing so they wouldn’t miss the vortex.

Anyway, my point is that it’s TOO SOON to be posting spoilers from Book 7, dammit. The NY Times ran its “review” which obviously included spoilers, so as to trump all other media outlets. I’m afraid that I may just avoid the computer until I’ve finished reading, sometime around Sunday morning. I’ll probably just stay away from any news sources, LJ, RSS readers (which will KILL me), and anything else that may reveal too much. I’ll stick to my DVRd shows and wait anxiously for my book.

Another quote from SG-1 is befitting my mailman, who truly is an idiot every day of the week (S03.Ep14 “Foothold”). If you’ve ever seen the Chevy Chase movie Funny Farm, you can imagine just how nuts this guy is. I think he delivers mail to whomever he wants, whenever he wants. I know I received my neighbor’s tax refund once. I’d put my chances at getting my book delivered on time at around 50%. Now I can tell you, if I don’t get my book, I’m going to be hell to deal with, especially if everyone is sold out (which I doubt will happen). When Book 6 came out, I was living with the ‘rents and their mailman is supurb. He even drove all the way up their driveway to hand deliver my book to me. Damn, I should have had it shipped to them! Arrrgh! Why didn’t I think?!? Anyway, I’d say things will be alright, and I’m going to stop rambling now.

Indeed.

No Lipgloss

I’m adding a bunch of music to my Zune today. I have all my favorite fanvids on there (well over 150), a few movies (Hello, Hot Fuzz), favorite episodes of SG-1 (It’s Good To Be King, Unending), and a few Doctor Who eps, as well as all my old, tired music. Today, however, I’m adding shiny new music. Yay!! I have Rufus Wainwright, Lifehouse, and Busta Rhymes. With the recent addition of Linkin Park, Loreena McKinnett, and Bone (for my brother), I’d say I have a pretty diverse musical lineup on there.

If only I could get the video for “Lipgloss” encoded in time… *snerk*

Now all I have to do is actually go somewhere so I can enjoy my Zune. 🙂

boromir12.jpgSpamalot didn’t happen because something so wonderously magnificent happened instead. One of the students located a HUGE comic store in Times Square and thought I’d like to go, and was he right! This Boromir figure just jumped ahead of my Fellowship set as my favorite item in Fandom Room. I’m so in love with it I think I could die. I also scored two SG-1 Figures. I wish they had had a Carter, but I was able to pick up the Colonel O’Neill (better looking that General, and slightly more so than Black Ops O’Neill) and Jaffa Warrior Teal’c, who just looks amazing!

Yes, it’s been a good day in NYC afterall. I’ll be home this time tomorrow, and I’m actually ready to get home ASAP.

I want to see Ben and Jesse (hopefully) on their way home from Dollywood and now that Coley is around, I want to talk to her some more, too! Shrader and I will need to hang out and, oh, you get the picture. :love:
