I had a really busy weekend. It was kinda cool.

Friday night saw Mission Impossible 3 which I thought was better then any of its predecessors, not that that's saying a whole lot, but there you go. It was fun and had JJ Abrams finger prints all over it. Greg Grunberg was there! And Felicity! And Simon Pegg played a geeky genius! I was mostly amused by how Alias it all was but so much better. Except Jack Bristow so totally should've been there because he rulz the world. Of course, then it would've been "Jack Bristow Saving the Day" rather then "The Tom Cruise Show" and teh Cruise wouldn't have allowed that. So, yeah, I was entertained. And Jonathon Rhys Meyers is extraordinarily pretty and Irish. Good times.

Saturday went to my high school BFFs wedding or re-wedding or whatever (ie the ceremony they had to have because they forgot to tell me about the real ceremony and, of course, it's all about me and my needs;-). It was nice. I saw a lot of people I haven't seen in forever, including a friend from kindergarten and her parents (and husband but I don't really know her husband all that well). I also saw kids who were wee when I last saw them and now, a decade later, they're graduating from college and the like. So disconcerting. The reception was nice and low key. I got to flirt with the best man (majored in philosophy, working as an IT guy, a geek with social skills and I am tempted to go to GenCon in August for many reasons, not least of which is the chance to possibly see him again). I'm so happy for my high school BFF, she seems happy and that makes me happy and everyone is happy, happy, happy.

After that went to see the Sisters Baylor and finally got a chance to see why the internets exploded on Wednesday. OMG Lost!! That was intense and crazy and I flapped around for whole minutes afterwards. Totally didn't see that coming. It's a shame that Michelle Rodriguez was such a raging, drunken bitch that the cast demanded her off the show because I was really starting to dig Ana Lucia. She was growing in interesting ways and she brought a nice dynamic to the annoying Jack/Sawyer/Kate mess. The producers better not pull a Joss Whedon and have happy = dead because I was so happy for Hurley and then Libby gets shot and I really don't want her to be dead too because we don't know anything about her. And, finally, Michael is totally fucked in the head and that makes me sad because I liked him so much!

Sunday went to church and got a new calling. I'm in charge of the music and thank goodness because my old calling was starting to aggravate in a major way. Afterwards worked on some mixes and downloaded some Supernatural. I only got to watch one episode and am chomping at the bit because I'm still 3 episodes away from the finale which I've spoiled myself for because suddenly I can't control myself. I can keep myself from looking at BSG s.3 spoilers and X3 spoilers and all sorts of other spoilers but I can't look away from the SPN spoilers. I'm so gorram obsessed.

There needs to be more gen BSG fic. I'm so sick of only finding shipper fic (and the bulk of that Lee/Kara) that I could just about scream. There also needs to be more Bill Adama fic because I'm a big fan and everybody in fandom is distracted by his pretty son.

La la la, I really need to get cracking on that Multiverse fic.

Ah, I sort of loved that Michael's gone all commando. You gotta know that it's a deal he struck with the Others. Kill x people (maybe he has a list, maybe he's got a number, maybe he's supposed to lure all the "strong" ones to them on a fake raid) to get Walt back. It all goes back to family and what you're willing to do for them.

Plus, it's the first interesting thing that's happened since Libby showed up in the nuthouse.

I am so with you on the BSG fic. How is it that people are not just sick to death of L/K? The fic--which I don't even read, for the most part--is starting to make me sick of the characters, even. And, Gods, I read--just out of train-wreck curiosity--THE WORST story the other day. It was Lee/Helo and had Every Single Cliche in the Book in it. I barfed.

It's cool and creepy and I know that Michael will do anything for his boy but can he really live with himself after all of this? It sends my mind into all sorts of whirliness so for that I must thank it.

I'm really starting to think that Lost would do so much better with an uninterrupted run. It feels like forever since anything new and interesting happened because we've been stuck with weeks of re-runs and clip shows in between one or two new episodes. They also need to move away from the flashback episodes for people we already know really well, like Jack and Kate and, as much as I hate to say this, Charlie.

Cliched Lee/Helo? Poor baby. *pets* I can understand you desperation and curiousity but it doesn't make the bad any better. Once we get done with HP crack we should totally start brain storming about BSG.

Yeah, what I love about Michael's arc here is that he was potentially on the "good" list of the survivors--those who hadn't (that we'd heard of) done anything really terrible in their flashbacks--and by doing this, he's damning himself, even though it will get his boy back.

And again, yeah. Because even Season 1, which worked much better, was even better when I cracked myself out in front of the TV for three days. I expect that S2 will improve slightly with that treatment as well. But not as much.

Lee/Helo was awful. It was that "ooh, my CAG is so tense, I must find a way to relieve him of his tension even though I kind of hate him, so hey, look who's in the shower next to me" fic. *barfs all over again*

Soon we will rule the fic world.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

We will totally rule the fic world. Just think if we worked in the same office, we'd never get any work done EVAR! It'd be great.

You know what this means? I totally have to write a fic where Lee, Helo, and Kara sit around and get drunk and snark at each other. And then order Hotdog to do ridiculous things, or something. ;-)

[hiyacynth.livejournal.com]

I dunno, we do pretty well working remotely from each other ;-)

And icon reminds me, I was just thinking this morning about how cool the whole 'Teresa fall us the stairs, Teresa fall down the stairs' thing was and how I wish they'd do more crazy shit like that. Enough with the Hatch and the Others and more with the Island being creepy.

[hiyacynth.livejournal.com]

Agree liek whoa.

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

OO! OO! OO! And also a fic about one of the other castaways and how he/she/it has been having weird dreams and seeing things in the jungle and no one will listen to her because she's not Jack or Locke or someone like that. It could be a whole Cassandra thing which could be pretty cool.

Now I'm giving myself crack-fic ideas and I have so many other fics to finish! NOEZ!

OMG Stop the madness!@@!!@! :0)

I don't know, I missed most of this season since Michael ran INTO the forest, but I just caught the episode where Bad Santa (Zeke) shows up with tied-up Kate and forces Jack and Sawyer and Locke to give their guns and Draw the Line? You know that episode? And I was just noticing, that Santa Zeke's gun? Is a German Luger................ . . . . . . .

[liptonrm.livejournal.com]

I was going to say something about handing the luger through the Vortex-ian connections but then I thought of Hoobler and couldn't finish the thought.

But, still, that's freaking crazy. I feel my head spinning, just a little. ;-)

I shall revert to myself from earlier this season when the Hanso Foundation was first revealed:

NAZIS!!! SURF NAZIS FROM OUTER SPACE!!!
