Interviews. I don't care if I'm giving them or receiving, I always feel like a total ass right after.

But luckily there are memes :p Which are fun and think-y without straining the brain.

Snagged from spastic_visions:

Name a character in one of my fandoms and I'll tell you three (or more) things about them from my personal canon.


Fandoms:

Star Trek: Voyager
Dark Angel
NCIS
Supernatural
Angel
Firefly
Torchwood
SeaQuest
The Faculty

This is sort of a crazy, catch-up post as I haven't posted in some days and a lot has happened in the meantime.

First, the fannish things, because they are more easily discussed:

WARNING: Spoilers behind every cut, including those for the movie Deception, Supernatural episodes 3x13 and 3x14, NCIS Season 5, and all of Torchwood.

1) My dearest Ewan.

Ewan McGregor. One of my truest loves. I maintain that I would listen to the man reading a grocery list - even pay to do so if the opportunity arose - and I have watched him portray everything from a trombone-playing plant worker to an indecently exposed rock star with a cocaine habit and too much eyeliner.

( All that being said... (Spoilers for Deception Ahead )

2) And how about those Winchester boys?

( 'It's uncanny how you managed to both honor his memory and grossly exploit the manner of his death.' )

3) Meanwhile, my NCIS squee...

( ...knows no bounds. )

4) And then there's Torchwood.

( 'I should have known right from the start//that you would go and break my heart...' )

Last, Real Life.

( Or the least random bit of this randomness. )

Am enjoying my NCIS dvds immensely :) Season 4 rocked. And the dvd cast commentaries? Awesome. Absolutely awesome. Michael Weatherly is a funny guy. Who would have thought back in his oh-so-serious Logan Cale days? :) Plus, he's perfectly slash-friendly :p With his easy admiration of Mark Harmon and the amount of attention he pays Sean Murray's hair and corduroy ;) Also, I can't help but love a man who can comfortably call himself "such a slut" for dialogue referencing :D

The tv has been good to me. I enjoyed NCIS this week, I'm going to watch Criminal Minds tonight, and despite my usual lack of interest in reality tv I watched The Biggest Loser last night and actually liked it :p I'm going to miss Supernatural this week, but I suppose after Law & Order: SVU last night I can stand to lay off the drama for a while. SVU killed last night! 0_0 Honestly, it had me doing the edge-of-the-seat, "They can't do that!" thing. I cried! It was amazing. They really aren't pulling any emotional punches this season.

In other non-news, I must see the new National Treasure movie, if only to subject myself to the Riley!slash cravings that are sure to follow :p

Man it feels good to get back to the computer :) I haven't had time in weeks and I've been feeling the void :p I've become so slash-deprived I wrote, like, 50 words of slash in my head for the carpenter and the sewing guy on the HGTV design show Divine Design! Plus I watched Spiderman 3 and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, so that didn't help. Harry is exponentially sexier in the third movie and that moment, in Silver Surfer, when this exchange happens:

Reed: Yeah. I didn't play football. I stayed inside and studied like a good little nerd. And now? Fifteen years later... I'm one of the greatest minds of the twenty-first century. I'm engaged to the hottest girl on the planet. And the jock is standing in front of me asking for help, and I say he's not going to get a damned thing unless he does exactly what I say.

Susan: I am so hot for you right now.

Johnny: Me too!

I so feel the Reed/Johnny in that movie. Or Reed/Susan/Johnny maybe :D

Also, NCIS has lost a lot of its Gibbs/DiNozzo-ness for me (though the Tim/Tony still lurks just beneath) and I'm battling the Ziva/Tony beast, but Supernatural has had several slashy moments to keep my slasher's brain busy. Haven't the boys been awesome this season? Wow. And Mercedes McNabb guest-starred last night! Joss totally pimps for Kripke - that's 3 Angel girls who have guest-starred already. I wait in baited breath now for Charisma :) If Fate is kind, she's gotta follow the trend.

Speaking of Fate being kind, I checked my junk e-mail before it automatically rolled over as trash (because sometimes my mailing list messages and such end up there by accident) and I found out I'd been missing my Favorite Author alerts from FanFiction.Net. I've had kikkimax listed there since she wrote some awesome Tony-centric NCIS fics way-back when.

Well, now kikkimax is writing for Supernatural! A World Without Monsters has an amazing kick. Bullies is loads of fun with a little bittersweet. And Defect is one of the best crossovers I've ever read. It combines worlds so seemlessly, has a compelling and clever plotline and features all the things that attracted me to kikkimax's writing in the first place - empathy towards and insight into all of the characters, great attention to detail and the history of the canon (canons), and fresh perspectives on familiar characters and events. I've never seen an episode of Criminal Minds, but I felt totally comfortable in this story and now I'd love to watch the show!
