Meme time!

[trinityofone]

Also known as: help Trin pretend that her boss isn't due back any minute and he's going to be cranky and she's not done with everything she needs to be done with (mostly this is not her fault) and oh god oh god *waves hands* let's just focus on something else.

Like:

Name a fandom and I will tell you what I think I know about it, derived only from my LJ experience.

Okay? Thanks. Now I shall try to dislodge my heart from where it seems to have wedged itself—somewhere in the mid-throat region, I think.

ETA: Anyone know who posted the SPN mix this song was part of? It was in the last few days, but I'm an idiot with a bad memory. Nevertheless, I'd like to say thank you, because it's awesome.

*curious*

Master and Commander.

Also, stealing this meme!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Um, I've unfortunately read all the books (well, not really unfortunately, as I LOVE them), so my explanation would be a bit too educated. Want me to do it anyway, as if I didn't know the canon? Or wanna give me another one?

NCIS. :-)

I knew someone would give me this one!

So, there are a bunch of people working for the Navy in come capacity (that's the 'N,' right?) and there's a guy named Tim McGee who looks like an assistant college football coach, and a chick named Abby who looks like a recovered goth, and they have an on-again, off-again kind of relationship, and also they fight crime? And I only know this much because apparently my Ancient OCs Cygnus and Gienah accidentally bore an eerie resemblance to them.

Also, this show is maybe in some way related to JAG, and therefore First Monday, which means that Julian Lodge could show up at any moment! Or in my head, anyway.

I am also trying to distract myself from studying *highfives*

Umm, Prison Break?

*also secret handshake*

Second most brocesty show after SPN. Wentworth Miller brother purposely gets arrested to save the John Doe brother, who's been accused of trying to kill the (Vice?) President, and he gets tattoos all over his body which is probably very sexy and good for the porn, I should expect. And there's a character named Dr. Sara who overdoses in the last episode of S1 because she left a door open for Wentworth Miller but she DOES NOT GET SHOT, some chick named Veronica played by Robin Tunney gets shot. In the face. There are also some other prisoners who all have hardcore/amusing prison nicknames, and William Fichtner is there, and he is either a hottie or creepy or both. And there's also some guy who tells Dr. Sara he's gay, but he's lying—at least until fandom gets ahold of him, I'm sure.

Spies! Anagrams and spies! Napoleon Solo is the American spy and Illya Kuryakin is the Russian spy, even though he is played by David McCallum who is British and was in The Great Escape, which is awesome. My mom loved this show when she was a teenager and had a HUGE CRUSH on Illya. But sadly, he is obviously gay for Napoleon and Napoleon is gay for him, because they are spy partners and what do spy partners do besides fall in love with each other? NOTHING I TELL YOU. Other than the spying, that is.

Also! All of the episodes were called 'The Something Affair,' so fic is also often called 'The Something Affair (With Gay Sex),' and because I am twelve, I think this sounds dirty. And no, I don't mean the gay sex part.

Dude, I've watched all* of those. *pout*

*Except the last season of Alias.

Psych

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Charlie from The West Wing has to work with a fake psychic and look exasperated a lot. However, this is almost certainly his way of masking his love for fake psychic guy. Also, fake psychic tricks people because he actually has fabulous observational skills, à la Sherlock Holmes. And even though that's all I've got, I'm seriously wondering why I don't watch this show. It sounds good!

Oh my God, I have absolutely NO IDEA what that is! Can it be about dragons? I want it to be about dragons.

Well, I posted it in a mix last week (http://kheryn42.livejournal.com/22936.html), but I know a bunch of people have used that song in SPN mixes recently.

Regardless, it is a great song. Have you heard "The Man Comes Around"? I think it was used in a zombie movie (can't remember which one though.

[cetpar.livejournal.com]

PS: While we're on the topic. How about Supernatural for the meme? I don't know if you are watching it, though.

[lilac-way.livejournal.com]

Fantasy Island!

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Um. Oh God. Even though we had a talk about it and my mom wrote an episode, I realize that I actually have NO IDEA what the show was about. Just...there was some rich guy? And every week he invited people to his island to make their fantasies come true? Only also scary supernatural things happened? Was the rich guy actually evil? Um.

However, I do know for certain that there was a little person who said, "Boss, da plane, da plane!" In EVERY EPISODE. This annoyed my mother, who had to figure out a way to fit it in.

The Sentinel & Due South

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I've seen all of due South (Have I really kept that quiet about my love for that show? Ooops.) but as for The Sentinel...

Jim Ellison is a cop in a made-up town in Washington State that apparently attracts more than its fair share of crime. He used to be in the army and got stranded in the jungle in South America, and was the only one of his men to survive because he has Sentinel powers, which are crazy super-senses of some sort. Years later he hooks up with Blair Sandburg, who's an anthropology grad student with appallingly bad hair, and he becomes Jim's Guide, and they start living together and spending all their time together and generally being really, really, ridiculously gay. And there's a police captain who's possibly named Simon, and an ex-wife of Jim's running around for awhile before she thankfully goes away and stops impeding the gayness. Also, occasionally Blair is an elf. A pregnant elf. That's the word on the street, anyway.

Babylon 5?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Full frontal alien nudity! Um. Right, so this is about some sort of space station, possibly with a diplomatic purpose? Or not. And there's a character named Susan Ivanova, who's apparently awesome, and she has a canonical lesbian relationship with some blonde lady, only then the blonde lady gets possessed or goes evil, à la S2 Angel, only when she dies, it's for good. Very sad. In fact, from what I've heard, things end sadly for almost everybody, which is why I've been reluctant to see this show. Full frontal alien nudity notwithstanding.

(Actually, what's really sad is that I think I once read a LONG summary of the show—like at crack_van, maybe?—only I now remember NONE of it. *shame*)

Entourage. Barring that? Friday Night Lights.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I've actually seen all of Entourage now. (Ari! YAY!) But, uh. Friday Night Lights is about football. And Texas. Football in Texas. And, um. Some of the football players are gay for each other? (Educated guess.)

Although maybe in a shocking twist, it's the cheerleaders who a gay for each other? That would be cool too. The show about the all-gay Texas football team. AWESOME.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

The Dark Is Rising: There's a character called Will. Also one called Bram? They are possibly gay for other another; Will is gay for somebody, anyway. The books are by Susan Cooper who I met once in Killington, Vermont.

The Wheel of Time: This series will NEVER end. Robert Jordan is fucking with you. Yes, YOU.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

There are spies. One of them is the guy who played Darcy in the new P&P movie, and one of them is some blonde lady. Anthony Stewart Head is there, and he's evil. Shit blows up.

[plsteward.livejournal.com]

Good Omens?

Or maybe Studio 60?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I have read Good Omens approximately 87,000 times, so I'm gonna skip that one. But I stopped watching Studio 60 pretty quick, so...

Matt and Danny are in love. They, and everyone else, talk very fast with crazy overlapping banter, because this is an Aaron Sorkin show, dammit! Harriet is a Christian, but a nice Christian. She and Matt have a thing, but nobody cares because MATT AND DANNY ARE IN LOVE. Danny has a drug problem. Amanda Peet has some sort of sex and/or drink problem, and also the problem of her being Amanda Peet and therefore creepy. We're supposed to think she's awesome and REAL, though. Steve Weber is a jerk. That guy who played Danny (no relation) on TWW is there, only with totally different hair. Nate Corddry and D.L. Hughley are around to do...something. Possibly teach us about race and tolerance, because this is an Aaron Sorkin show, and it is SERIOUS BUSINESS, YO. Also, Matt and Danny are gay.

[randomeliza.livejournal.com]

Ooh! Ooh! Friday Night Lights.

Also... *leers* How YOU doin'?

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

I actually already did Friday Night Lights:

"Friday Night Lights is about football. And Texas. Football in Texas. And, um. Some of the football players are gay for each other? (Educated guess.)

Although maybe in a shocking twist, it's the cheerleaders who a gay for each other? That would be cool too. The show about the all-gay Texas football team. AWESOME."

Not my most inspired answer, I'm afraid. Wanna ask my another one?

I'm doing okay, although I wish I were going to Peg2 so I could see you soon and leer back! Also, I'm jealous of the kickin' back and reading you've done lately. I want work to stop sucking so I can finish this crazy slavefic book I'm reading!

Also: you were right, Torchwood suddenly stopped sucking. Huh.

Numb3rs.

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

The other-other brocest fandom. With math. And David Krumholtz.

Sadly, that's all I've got.

[mandysbitch.livejournal.com]

Oz, baby!

(I so knew you were going to ask that.)

[trinityofone.livejournal.com]

Okay, so it's about all these guys in what I think is supposed to be some sort of special experimental prison. Hottie Mercutio/Michael-on-Lost is there, and he's in a wheelchair and he narrates—even, I think, after he kicks it. (That was not meant to be a wheelchair joke.) The guy from Spider-Man is also present, playing a neo-Nazi asshole who got brought up in a lot of anti-Spike arguments and thus annoys me for no good reason. (Er, besides the neo-Nazi thing.) But the REALLY most important part is Beecher and Keller, who, despite my being consistently confused as to which is which (like Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, kinda), have lots and lots of CANONICAL sex, especially while weight-lifting and/or in the shower. They're also totally in love, and though things end badly (I think one of them dies? Kills himself?) we're just not going to think about that, la la la. The end!
