Ah, it's good to be a multifandom girl. (Though time-consuming, on occasion). Regarding my newest enthusiasm, I'm pleased as punch that there were so many positive posts about the new Battlestar Galactica on my friends list, and on the friends' friends lists I visited. But the ice of the cake has to be that one of my all-time favourite Jossverse authors, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rheanna27, she who co-wrote Splinter and wrote the wonderful Vivere, is writing a Five Things Which Never Happened... for BSG. More specifically, about my favourite character there, Laura Roslin. American viewers, these stories do not contain any spoilers beyond what you've already watched. Behold the first two ways in which Laura Roslin does not die (and live).
On to some old friends: my relationship with Xena: Warrior Princess was much like my present relationship with Alias - I watched, I liked, sometimes a lot, sometimes only a bit, but I did not love. But I'm toying with the idea of at least purchasing the second and third season (the best for my money) every now and then. There were some excellent episodes there. Rob, for whom Xena was a first fandom, offers a great view back.
And while we're in a nostalgic vein, back in the BtVS season 2 and 3 days I loved the Cordelia/Xander relationship. I still think it's the best written and affecting of Cordelia's romances. As for Xander, while I adore Anya, one of the saddest moments in Hell's Bells for me was when she says she's marrying her best friend. Because for her, he was, but she never was for him, and that is why I suspect even without intervening agents and death by Ubervamp they would not have made it as a couple. Whereas I always thought that if adult Xander and adult Cordelia (alive, that is) had crossed each other's paths again, they would have had a shot. This essay explains why.
One of my few complaints about The Peacekeeper Wars was the way Sikozu's character was handled. (Or mishandled.) Once I found out that had been a last minute addition to the script, I was even more disgruntled. Ah well. There's always fanfic, and various episodes of season 4. As opposed to Jool, I liked Sikozu at once, and I found her relationship with Scorpius far more intriguing than the way season 4 (not the earlier seasons, nor the miniseries which totally reconciled me with the pairing!) handled John/Aeryn. So I was quite delighted to find an
essay about the two of them as well.
