Multifandom Post

1.) Dr. Who: Where might a body ahem The Christmas Invasion? My usual source is sadly otherwise occupied. And I so want to see Ten in action.

2.) Babylon 5: kangeiko has written a fantastic Centauri story. From a Brakiri pov, no less. ‘Tis good to be a fan these days.

3.) Alias and roleplaying: On the other hand, there are sneaky fellow fen like karabair working their evil wiles on you. She made me do this. Now, while I wait for the muse to be accepted – there is this challenge demanding a soundtrack for the life of one’s character. Does anyone have any suggestions for an Arvin Sloane soundtrack? A song for Emily, Jack, Sydney and Nadia each would be essential, and I think one for Irina should be there as well (from Sloane’s pov, remember, not from Jack’s). Rambaldi definitely will be represented by something from Gounoud’s Faust. *g*

4.) Expect a larger post about Angel (the character, not the show) one of these days. Recent discussions have inspired me.

5.) I'm green with envy that the Americans among you will get to see new BSG episodes starting with this Friday, but hope that my previous source will be generous again, which would mean so will I, with a few days in between.

Angelic Reflections

Or, how Selena learned to love the (original) vampire with a soul. Which certainly didn’t happen on first sight. Or even on second. I liked Angel well enough during the first three seasons of BTVS, was as impressed as your next fan by the Angelus storyline (and DB’s sudden leap in performance skills) and found his romance with Buffy touching, but I also thought he had served his purpose by season 3. As I liked but did not love, and wasn’t too curious to learn more about him, I wasn’t sorry to see him go. I might not have started to watch the spin-off at all if not for Cordelia, who by season 3 of BTVS had become my favourite character (later, said favourite position went to Buffy herself, but that’s another essay).

However, City Of, the AtS pilot, started to change my mind about the big lug.
