Wasted Opportunity

Last night I realized that I made a horrible mistake. isiscolo is running a Hewligan ficathon at sga_6degrees, and though I signed up, I missed the perfect opportunity to request Julian Lodge/Stephen Colbert. Fictional Stephen Colbert, I mean, though I see how he could be easily confused with Real Stephen. Actually, I just want a fic where Julian is on the Colbert Report. And maybe in the story it's a real show, or maybe Julian just thinks it's real and then over the course of the story, realization slowly, slowly dawns. I don't know. It was late and I'd just eaten some pie. But Stephen was talking about "wrestling" with his building manager (and what is up with this Oprah thing? Seriously) and I thought...yeah. There's the craziest/best idea I've had in the last five minutes!

Sometimes I worry that I'm the only one still obsessed with Julian. I hope the Hewligan fest proves me wrong. (In the mean time, yin_again has a tendency to make me feel better about this. siriaeve, too.)

Finally, two questions to put to you:

1. I have access to the pilots of all new fall shows through my work. I've already watched "Heroes," "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip," "Betty the Ugly," and "Vanished." Would y'all be interested in reviews of these and/or other shows?
2. Should I join atlantis_lvw or is it just going to make me nauseous because I really, really can't handle competition?

Okay, I suppose I should start by saying that I generally think that pilots are not very good. For shows I really love, even: they tend to be stiff, packing too much exposition; they haven’t really found themselves yet. So everything I say in here has to be taken with the general knowledge that pilotitis exists, and further, that I know it exists. But I can only judge based on what I’ve seen, and what I’ve seen is pilots.

So far, these pilots:

( Heroes )

( Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip )

( Ugly Betty )

( Vanished )

Anyway, feel free to ask me any questions, and I’ll try to answer as best I can. Tonight I’m going to watch The Nine for Cousin Timmy, and probably some other things. Stay tuned!
