Links and tv meme
Apr. 17th, 2005 06:59 amStill on an unholy family trip, so here is a a great Darla/Angelus story I found, set in 1760 after that little visit to the Master. It captures my darling girl beautifully and gives her a wonderful punchline.
I've been watching vids as well. My favourite vid about Darla and Angel is either the sadly no longer online "Path" by Astarte or "Evil Angel" by Luminosity. Favourite Connor vid is "Anticipate" by Icsbanana, which I also can't find online anymore. But a new and excellent vid about all three of them would be "Counting Bodies".
Now, on to a meme:
So you're cleaning all the pollen off your TV screen and a genie pops out. In return for freeing her, she offers to grant you 5 changes to any TV show(s) you wish. With only 5 wishes, what do you wish for?
I suppose wishing Firefly, Crusade, American Gothic and Farscape all uncancelled is off, so...
Angel: No. Saint. Cordy. I wouldn't even have minded the A/C so much if only Cordelia hadn't gone the sanctification route in season 3. Give me any other incarnation of Cordelia, from early high school bitch queen to funny and tough Girl Friday to Possessed!Cordy - anything but the Saint.
DS9: One of the good guys (Dax, Bashir, Jake, don't care who) questions the morality and the rightness of the Prophets and sticks with it. Yes, other stuff would be nice, too (no madman Dukat, Garak/Bashir interaction after Our Man Bashir), but not as important as this. The fact we're supposed to buy into the wisdom and goodness of the Prophets was my biggest pet peeve with my favourite ST series.
Babylon 5: No Lorien. I don't care how Sheridan gets resurrected and away from Z'ha'dum (if at all - you could continue the saga without him, with Delenn and Ivanova finishing the Shadow and Earth Civil War respectively) as long as we're spared a literal deus ex machina just after the show has made the point you can't trust those at all. All the other blemishes, like Byron, can stay if we get rid of Lorien.
Blake's 7: Gareth Thomas changes his mind about leaving for the RSC and remains on board as Blake. Not that I don't appreciate the third and fourth season (yes, the fourth, too), but missed the Blake/Avon dynamic, and am of the minority opinion that Avon worked better as a character when playing off the leading man instead of being moved to leading man position himself. Also? I happen to like Blake.
Carnivale: Am with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kradical here, sadly. Following Ron Moore's departure, either someone else takes over as co producer who keeps Daniel Knauf from losing all subtlety and throw out most moral ambiguity in favour of a stark good versus evil scenario, or the show gets cancelled, and we're left with the memory of a wonderful first season.
