January Meme: 2020 Edition

[selenak]

It's that time of the year again: I would like to give the January meme a shot. Prompt me? Previous examples are to be found here.

Pick a date below and give me a topic, and I'll ramble on. I'm good at talking. It can be anything from fandom-related (specific characters, actors, storylines, episodes, etc.) to life-related to pizza preferences to whatever you want.

They will probably be brief, or not, depending on the subject. Also, I reserve the right to decline prompts that I don't feel equipped to meet.

Topics: you can get an idea from my tags/from the stuff I usually ramble about/from things you maybe wish I talked about more but don't.

January 4th - favourite tropes, if you're so inclined!

[ffutures]

January 10th - your favourite conspiracy theory.

[davetheanalyzer]

If there is any movie/show that you think should be given a sequel or remake, what should it be, either because of nostalgia and wanting to see it again and/or interest in giving the material its full potential or giving another interesting take (i.e. The rebooted Netflix She-ra cartoon).

Edit: Oops, forgot to pick a date! January 15th.

[maplemood]

January 2nd--I realize that you've already written a good bit about the show, but I'd love your thoughts on literally any character from Black Sails!

[yhlee]

January 26 - what are your thoughts on what Prime!Gabriel Lorca was like?

[watervole]

January 9 - German folk traditions (but not the nativity or the Easter wells, because you do great posts about them already)

[grimorie]

January 10 - What would a Babylon 5 continuation in this era look like?

[lilacsigil]

Favourite underrated historical figure! (Jan 18)

[siljamus]

January 30 - Favourite books read in 2019

[bell]

Books you’d recommend for someone who knows a little about the Beatles and would like more :D

Has “Better call Saul” changed your perception of “Breakng Bad”?

[ruuger]

January 6th: Peter Capaldi. Your favourite roles of his, or whatever you want to talk about him :)

[hannah]

January 11 - The Burying Kind remains wonderful and continues on as one of my go-to examples of well-done crossovers in that each canon is used to great effect, grounding the world of Angel and allowing its characters to dwell on their emotions in ways their show didn't allow, and placing Six Feet Under into the suitably mythological and fantastical world which lets the characters live as grandly as their imaginations.

Please talk about what you imagine would happen if Spike ran into Brenda and Billy.

[rose_griffes]

What's something that you wish your friends (in person, online, whichever) would watch or read so you could discuss it with them.

[kore]

January 20 - You got me with fave/unfave historical diaries!

[maidenjedi]

January 14 - The Beatles. Favorite song, favorite album?

[avrelia]

For January 12 - If any tv company wanted to make you a gift, what historical tv series they should make for you?

[falena]

January 25 - to mark one month til False Value is out...where do you see the a rivers of London series going?

[zahrawithaz.livejournal.com]

You get such excellent suggestions each year that it's hard to come up with others. How about:

January 5: Hopes for Disco's next season

January 16: why Merlin season 4 is your favorite season, and how the the other seasons could have changed to rival it in your affections

January 17: D29/Discovery crossovers: which characters would you want to meet, and how?

January 28: Thoughts and feelings on historical fiction that projects modern opinions onto characters in the past.

[selenak]

Your suggestions are always good, too, but - what does "D92" stand for?

[felis]

Could it mean DS9? I'd certainly be interested in reading a post about DS9 and Discovery characters meeting!

[selenak]

I think you've solved the mystery! Okay, that is doable.

[felis]

Your expectations for next years's Black Widow movie / the next phase of Marvel movies in general?

[selenak]

Hm, I'll try!
