This and that
Apr. 5th, 2009 01:56 pmRelearned lesson of the day: no matter how much you want to read more Sarah Connor Chronicles discussion, do not go to Television Without Pity. (Seriously. I was somewhat stunned to discover the Sarah hatred there, and I shouldn't have been. It's TWOP; when do they ever miss out on a chance to hate prominent female characters, especially show leads?) On the bright side of things, the last episode caused a lot more lj reviews than usual which makes me happy, for lj world is quite different from forum world.
I also have another speculation re: the season finale, based on the (non-literal) siblings the show presents us with: ( Sisters and choices )
In news of shows that aren't The Sarah Connor Chronicles, this shared interview of David Tennant and Russel T Davies - which is spoiler-free - made me grin a lot, especially the part where RTD confides his one unfulfilled fanboy dream (writing a DW/ Star Trek crossover), and the part where he and DT discuss Matt Smith's hair (DT: "Well, so’s the rest of the country. We may as well join in.") Oh, and Our David firmly denies the tabloid stories of crazy fans dressed up and interrupting performances ("Well, I suppose there were people who wouldn’t have necessarily come to see the RSC do Hamlet. But there was never a sense that people were there for the wrong reasons. There was not anybody dressed up as a Cyberman in the front row. I’m not suggesting Doctor Who didn’t sell a few tickets, but. . . Who fans are clever people.") Take that, fan-dissing tabloids. I'm really looking forward to the next weekend and Planet of the Dead. Bring onDune the desert planet, I say.
Lastly, and again moving to another fandom, I was tickled to bits to discover Marvel made it canon that Tony Stark being a woman would have prevented wars, civil and Skrull alive, by virtue of this apparantly causing Steve Rogers to propose to him/her. Marvel: where genderswap saves the day (at least in AUs.) As other people said, this clearly means Reed Richards (who made that interesting discovery) needs to travel back in time and play Yenta. If Skynet can do it, Richards, so can you!
