So it's season-one-love month over at andromeda_fans and because I am a loser slacker lurker most of the time I am determined to contribute at least something this time.

I kind of want to do this for all of season one, but I doubt I have the attention span and my willpower would probably give out somewhere around "Music of a Distant Drum" or "Sum of Its Parts".

In any case, for now, I give you ... Under The Night, a picspam/review/gushfest, but most of all a study in exposition and worldbuilding.
Caps from andromeda-web.com.


( okay, i just wanna say, for the record ... we rule )

All in all, I give Under The Night an A- for how it handles pilot-necessary exposition. Points are knocked off for the Dylan/Rhade fight (which ... I didn't cover here, but c'mon, that scene only really works in the context of The Unconquerable Man, Rhade spends it telling Dylan things he already knows), the Dylan/Harper scene, and the following Dylan/Rommie scene, but overall it does beautifully.

I have successfully gotten Media Player Classic to work for me again. YAY. I was getting frustrated without it.

Also:

There's this Female Character Flowchart out there that I'm sure most of you have heard of already. If you haven't, let me sum it up for you: basically, all fictional female characters fall into stereotypes and aren't "realistic." Also, this flowchart is done in a way that basically anyone can be crammed into one of their categories, as long as you ignore the more three-dimensional aspects of her characterization and focus on the most two-dimensional details available.

Seriously, people who are much more articulate than me have ranted on this subject and explained why it's such a bad thing. That's not what this post is about. You see, this post? Is simply a chance for me to go through my DW/LJ icons and post the ones that I have that feature female characters, whether by themselves, with other women, with men, or simply as part of a group (which wouldn't be whole without them).

Why? Because the thing is, these women are all awesome, in their own unique ways.

...I have a lot of icons. I won't apologize for it.

( imageheavy like whoa )

That's a lot of awesome women.

This is my one thousandth LJ post. AWESOME. Or a sign that I have no life. Whichever.

Dance gif party under the cut to celebrate!

( this party will murder your dialup )

Sharing is encouraged!

...also putting this together has made me realize that I severely lack in LOST gifs. Uh. Anyone know of a good source?

30 Days Of TV:

Day 19 ♥ Best TV show cast

This is a very difficult question, because there are so many casts I love so very much.

But I think I have to go with the LOST cast, who are too adorable for words.

( a brief LOST cast picspam )

( the rest )


30 Days Of Who:

Day 12 ♥ Whatever Tickles Your Fancy

...seriously, I dread these.

Have some awesome fanart.

( the rest )

Below the cut find A Newbie's Guide To Kings. If you are on my flist and have not yet gotten hooked on this show, read on. If you are on my flist and are already in love with the show, gawk at the pretty pictures. If you are not on my flist...hi!

Way not-dialup-friendly.

( If your source is 2,000 years old, it's not a spoiler. )

( In celebration of February 14th. That's right. Beka Day. Image heavy. )


In conclusion...there are no better slipstream pilots.

You knew it was coming.

Ganked from most of the flist, with edits!
1) List 10 celebrities you would have sex with without even asking questions. stare at in awe of their gorgeousness.
2) Put them IN ORDER of your lust love for them [10-1, 1 is the hottest].
3) Supply photos for said people.
4) Say which movie/show/thing it was that hooked you.
5) Tag 5 people.

Per the usual with me, there was no possible way I could do just one list. For one thing, my criteria for boy crushes is different than my criteria for girl crushes. So, one list for boys, one for girls.

I did, however, limit myself to contemporary stars. By which I mean no William Hartnell, Humphrey Bogart, or Ingrid Bergman will be showing up.

( the boys )


( the gals )

...I may have to do that 7-top-ships picspam meme, too. <3 But not right now.

In honor of International Day of Femslash...

Picspam! (Not quite as long, involved, or varied as I'd like it to be, but I stuck to canon (or at least canon-ish) pairings that I happened to have caps of, so...yeah.)

( WILL EAT YOUR DIALUP. But is lots of pretty girls! )

Answers to that movie-quotes meme I did! With pictures chosen somewhat erratically from Google Images! Because I'm bored! And it's obvious no one's going to guess anymore at the ones that haven't been gotten yet!

( fewer exclamation marks under the cut! )

So, ageless_aislynn posted a spam thread, and I took the opportunity to do a combined squee/picspam that I've been wanting to do for a while. I like the way it came out, so I'm sharing it with you. Cool? Cool.

Below the cut find A Newbie's Guide To The Black Donnellys. If you are on my flist and have not yet gotten hooked on this show, read on. If you are on my flist and are already in love with the show, gawk at the pretty pictures. If you are not on my flist...hi!

( You're still not caught up? Listen close this time. )


...that was fun.
