So, with TVD coming back and The Originals about to premier, I'm wondering how my TVD-verse viewing friends feel about the coming seasons.

[Poll #1936851]

As for the only new show I've had so far this week
SHEILD was a bit better this week than last, I'm still readjusting my hopes for the series but this was a definite improvement. I actually know a couple things about the characters now and we started getting them as a team.


The biggest amusement though? I may have mentioned my DW/SG-1 crossover headcanon a time or two, and this mission to find an alien artifact in South America was one I had in mind for Torchwood in that verse and running against various other nationalistic organizations who want it too. So yeah, SHIELD is basically Torchwood to me now (as in more or less the Torchwood we say in AoG/Doomsday rather than the show TW). I do think Phil is a better team leader than Jack I suppose - Jack would totally have been making out with an enemy agent instead of spotting a trap - so there's that at least.

I know I've been kind of off lj for a bit, I need fall TV to start up I guess - I've been rewatching a lot of Castle thought, kind of decided that was what I most wanted to watch again before new eps started. Korra is back but I didn't have a ton of thoughts on the first episodes and I haven't gotten to watch last night's yet. And I did get to go to a Rockies game a couple days ago to see Helton play one last time, Rockies baseball won't be the same without him next year.

So, the three tiered meme is making the rounds again and I might as well do it too.

So I put together a tentative look at my fall TV watching schedule:

Looks like I'll be adding a few )

And then I though I would copy [livejournal.com profile] wheatear and do a list of hopes for The Originals (and some TVD).

Mostly TO though )

-Since I don't have much in the way of TV shows to talk about right now (and even less after GoT ends for the season) what have I been watching? Baseball of course. My Rockies are doing way better this year than last tear so it's fun to watch them again (they're always my team, but last year it sort of stopped being appointment viewing to watch the games). But so far this season it's still appointment TV most evenings.

-Also, apparently my dad has been reading ASOIAF, and asked for my GoT DVDs the other day. We've got tickets to a ballgame next week so I may spend part of the late drive home getting his thoughts so far (I'm sure it hasn't been as surprising to him as it should have been since my mom and I have been discussing stuff around him for a while now so he probably got to certain things and remembered that he'd heard about it a couple years ago).

-My [livejournal.com profile] scifibigbang fic is...progressing. I've rewritten this (probably) closing section almost as much as I rewrote the opening. I think I'm going to leave the smutty bits for a follow-up to be written later unless the talky parts really start coming easier and I feel I have the time/inclination/story room to add it to the goal of this fic. Unless that happens it's not going to be any too long, but should make the 25k requirement.

-Also, GODS DAMN DO I HATE THIS POST EDITOR, THIS IS WHY I WRITE MY ACTUAL THOUGHTS IN A SEPARATE PROGRAM, WHICH MEANS I SOMETIMES FORGET HOW AWFUL IT IS WHEN I DECIDE TO JUST WRITE QUICK POSTS IN IN POST EDITOR WINDOW. And yes, that whole thought needed capslock, I REALLY HATE THIS, WHY DID LJ DO THIS TO ME?!?!?!?!?

I seem to be feeling in need of a project...aside from the multitude of fanfics I keep meaning to work on, or the review project that’s more or less on hiatus, or a couple other things I had intentions of making projects of...

Anyway here’s what seems to be wanting my attention:
1) Re-tagging old posts with more useful tags and a better system over all.
2) Not mutually exclusive with option 1 (but somewhat more likely to get done if I’m not trying to do everything at once), but going through old posts/comments to find fic and semi-fic pieces that aren’t on my master list.
3) Declaring a fic amnesty week (or longer depending on how long I feel like going with it) of posting unfinished fic that are unlikely ever to be returned to or I just never felt like posting before because I didn’t think they worked.

But I can’t figure out whether any of them are great ideas or just passing notions of projects...

So, [livejournal.com profile] wheatear tagged me to answer some questions not related to FMM, and I ended up doing it. I suppose part of the challenge is to tag other people with new questions but I think I have written up enough for the moment. I *may* come back and do that part later, but no promises (or treats).

I do get the most verbose about TV, but I answer some of the deeper questions with thought )

You don't get American Actor Bingo like this nearly as often as it happen in Canadian Actor Bingo or British Actor Bingo but...

-Okay so I've spent the last few days traveling and going to a wedding. It was nice to see family but it was a lot of time in the car with my parents.

-Plus I got sick on the last day of all that. Completely awful sick. Fortunately I seem to be on the mend. Pretty much just knocked myself out to finish the trip home but a good night's sleep in my own bed was a plus.

-All in all it was at best a meh trip.

-However is 'The Originals' is actually a thing...I will have to figure out how I feel about it. Because The Originals are like 90% of the reason I'm still watching TVD (I love you Elena, but the show clearly doesn't) so I should love to see them get they're own spin off but...I 'm not that interested in watching the weekly exploits of Klaus where he's probably going to be the supposed sympathetic main character (plus it would take Klaus away from his OTL Stefan) and I still don't see ow they're going to get Gillies into a full time role. So, I guess for now those are my feelings, I'm not as excited as I want to be.

-I always think I'm going to get more writing/editing done on trips than I actually do. I ended up with basically nothing accomplished, sadness.

-Now I have TV shows to watch while I recuperate.

So for today's bit of fandom holiday-ing I wrote off some quick haiku about the Originals.

Complicated old family )

This episode is hysterical. Oh wait, I was supposed to take it seriously? Hysterically bad then.

TVD: 3x19: Heart of Darkness )

Between baseball playoffs and some technical difficulties with my entertainment system (such as it is, and no it's not the one use to watch baseball) it would appear that there will not be a review tonight. This makes it all the more iffy that I'll make it through TVD season 3 by the time s4 starts but I suppose there's still some chance.

(Ultimately I'm fairly satisfied with the way the games went, I'm just still not sure baseball needs another round of playoffs.)

No chance though of getting the next fic done before the new season starts. I have gotten some muses back the last couple days but this chapter/story is going to be pretty long, may even need multiple chapters in it (doesn't yet, but I have a lot more in mind to happen).

So in place of a review, how about a meme?


Send me a fandom and I will tell you my:

Favorite character:
Least Favorite character:
5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon):

Character I would marry:
Character I would be best friends with:

-So I know the reviews have been pretty sporadic this last week or so, well they're going to continue to be because I'm off having fun this weekend. Well, if my friends and I end up watching anything I want to review and I have the inclination to do so I might but in case you were waiting with baited breath (I'm sure all of you were right?) you'll have to wait a bit longer.

-I'm slowly making progress on the next fic in my TVD fic series (I'm thinking of something like 'Safe Harbor' as a series title y/n). Actually this next one would make that time silly since everything is royally screed up and unlikely to be resolved in this episode as much as my shippy heart would like (aka probably no sexytimes this time around). But we'll see where the muses go as I have a lot left to write just for this episode in the series, and WAY more to go for the series as a whole.

-But I would like to get one more out before the season premier, so we can have some nice things as I'm still not in a gung-ho mood for s4.

-Also, I'm not watching any of the stuff that's been put out, Jedi is in a spoiler cave of denial until the premier.

-I do seem to have reached the stage where I'm tired of being in limbo over what's going to happen now (wanting so badly for there to be a way out of this but 98% sure it won't happen and 85+% sure it won't write it in a way that makes me forgive the fact that she show went there), just not wanting out of limbo badly enough to watch spoiler clips before the episode comes around.

-I ought to do a general review of Saving Hope now that the season is over but pretty sure it won't happen at least until I get home next week. Very short version: meh (but I'll probably keep watching for the eye candy).

-Fireworks are pretty :)

In place of a review tonight I was just watching some scenes I enjoy from the last season of TVD (mostly they involved Elijah. And a weird thing occurred to me.

Random, nearly stream of consciousness babble )
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
Apparently when I don't feel like writing and do my (for now nightly) review project update, I still need an outlet for my...muses adjacent voices.

Anyway, [livejournal.com profile] wheatear linked to/is doing 28 days of doing shipping wrong and I started to think I would. But I realized pretty quickly that a lot of my ships don't quite fit in with that one. So I started one of my own.

I'm open to suggestions for changes at this point but how about:
30 days of unfulfilled shipping )
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
So here’s a bit of a story. We thought the local fireworks started at 9, as we can watch them from the end of our driveway it wasn’t really a problem that they didn’t start til 9:30, but it gave me a chance to appreciate something: this year people are paying attention to the fire ban. There’s been one the last couple 4th’s but usually there’s a few people around us who either didn’t get the memo or decided to ignore it. This year not so much; I guess half the Front Range being on fire will put a dampener on even most of the scofflaws. I’ll have to keep an ear out the rest of the night to see if it lasts.

Anyway happy 4th (even to people where it’s just your average Wednesday).

Okay a couple more notes: )
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
Because I haven't been posting a much as I could I'll fall back on my favorite standby: a meme. (I do have a couple things I'll probably post about soon, some GoT thoughts, getting back to the review project, some writing updates (I only have about ten different writing projects I'm trying to make headway on); but for now just the meme)

Leave me a show and I'll tell you

My OTP:
My OT3:
My guilty pleasure ship:
A ship that makes me nauseous:
A ship that is too fluffy for words:
A ship that gives me nightmares:
The sexiest ship to never set sail:
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
I amuse myself sometimes with truly random projects. Tonight's example:

I thought I might add a second project to my 100 blog posts idea and hit on the idea of 'Hmm I wonder if I could do 100 ships?' and while I probably could it quickly devolved into 'Can I think of 100 ships from one show?' So I took TVD and started listing, canon ships, fanon ships, pure crack ships that my mind connects together. I haven't gone so far as just any two regulars or semi-regulars that have ever shared a scene together, I have to have some reason why my mind went there. It's not always things I like (if I can get enough to do this I'll talk about those I do and do not like) but I'd like to have something to talk about it.

I'm at 75. This show is so shippable that without a ton of work I got to 75.

That's too many to give up now, there's got to be 25 more that I'm not thinking of right now. So feel free to suggest ones I might have missed (it's entirely possible I'm forgetting some canon ones, depending on your definition of canon especially), or your own ship ideas that I might want to include.
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
So, to keep going with the TVD recap energy in spite of the hiatus, I'm open to suggestions for what I should watch and recap/review tomorrow in place of a new ep. Want to know my opinions on the pilot? Elijah's introduction? An episode from last month before I got hit by the drive to do this kind of thing? Make your suggestions here (may also be for the next few weeks until new eps come back).

(oh and if you're wondering about the Buffy rewatch, it's stalled because I don't want to watch Amends. Too much Buffy/Angel, I keep trying to remind myself it also has Giles with a crossbow but can't seem to make that enough motivation to put up with the miracle snow.)
jedi_of_urth: (Default)
I do love memes and this one has been slowly making it's way through my flist so I should use it.

Leave me a character and I'll tell you my top 3 ships for them.


Also, anyone want to help me turn this into actual fic?
