Return of the January Meme

[selenak]

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, which Disney Marvel shows are my faves and why, why the world should give the Julian-Claudians a rest and make a Flavius Josephus/Josef Ben Matthias centric show set in the Flavian era instead, which 18th century ladies need their own series, etc.) to life-related to favorite tea brands 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. Also, please feel free to check out the 2024 meme,  the 2023 January meme, the2022 January meme, the 2021 January Meme, the January Meme: 2020 Edition, the 2019 one, the 2018 meme, the 2017 edition , and the 2016 January meme to see which topics I've written about in past years.

Let's say, idk, 20 January - the proposed B5 remake; if you were in charge, what would you do with that opportunity?

[ffutures]

OK, let's say January 10th and the subject is comfort foods.

[lirazel]

My birthday is the 4th so I'm picking that, and my requested topic is: you have a huge budget and can make a TV show about any historical figure from any place or era. Who do you choose?

[watervole]

Jan 15. Differences between British and German cultures.

[lightofdaye]

Any date you like. Do you have strong feelings about RDJ's return to the MCU and the pivot to Doctor Doom over Kang?

[aurumcalendula]

January 6th - Star Trek: Discovery!

[kore]

Those yearly archives are neat! I'd love to hear about which 18th century ladies need their own series.

[trobadora]

January 13: Star Trek Prodigy, and what a 3rd season should be like

[avrelia]

January 7. You are going to time travel. Which historical figures you will pick up as your team and how they will help or complicate your travels?

[bimo]

January 11th: Since Cavendish and I have recently finished binging For All Mankind, a show in which astronaut Danielle Poole outs herself as a major Star Trek fan: In which aspects would you expect a FAM universe version of Star Trek most likely to differ from ours?

[aella_irene]

Any date you like, your favourite post-Enlightenment Scandinavian princess!

[redfiona99]

Other than, can you thank the questioner for 2nd Jan for explaining to me why they've gone RDJ Doom when I can think of roughly 58 actors better for the role, for your choice of date, how would you feel about a Roman AU for Babylon 5? (I quite like the idea of circa fall of the Republic but ...)

[cahn]

...okay, now that you have said this, I DO want to know all about why the world should give the Julian-Claudians a rest and make a Flavius Josephus/Josef Ben Matthias centric show set in the Flavian era instead -- well, to be honest and as you know, I probably know more about why one should make a Josephus show (the characters! The incredible plot twists!) than anything about the Julian-Claudians as a foil, so I'm interested in how you'd compare the two... but really what I want to know is, what would the seasons look like, what would their reception be -- who would be the fan favorites and what would enrage fandom? :)

Jan 21!

Any day - Favorite historical dramas

Last Minute Request

This is very late, but I am looking at going to Berlin for a week with a friend in May. 12th January: What are the historical sites you recommend visiting for those who want to avoid 20th Century History?
