Aw....

I've said it before, I'll say it again: one of the great things about fandom is when fellow fen you know from one fandom get interested in another fandom you're pimping to them also interested in. No sooner has nolivingman finished her Babylon 5 run that gentilhomme starts hers, helped by eirena. Also, artaxastra asked me whether she'd like Alias. andrastewhite, as a past victim fellow fan, you must support me here!

And then there are the professionals. Because Joss is cute when he goes all fanboy on us: Joss Whedon about the new Battlestar Galactica. Now, given that the last time he went fanboy about a current tv show, this resulted in him getting a cameo on Veronica Mars, I can't help but wonder whether Ron Moore will give him either a cameo (the Cylon God, perhaps?) or a writing gig next season. You know, because Mr. Moore doesn't torture his characters nearly enough. *nods in anticipation*

One Alias fanfic rec, which I discovered thanks to yahtzee63: Assassin's Tango, an absolutely fantastic story covering the relationship of Jack Bristow and Arvin Sloane from their first meeting to the series finale, Jack pov. I squeed about that one all day.

Talking of which, have I managed to get you to read The Charioteer yet?

I adore the cyclic nature of fandom; there's always somebody new to pimp in. And seriously, I really enjoyed sharing my B5 watching with you. I will rewatch them again and again, but the first time through was a thrill and those of you from my flist who were playing along were a big part of that.

and speaking of, I'm planning to get on B5 season 3 tonight.

I recently pimped Alias to quicknow as featuring lots of vaguely inappropriate family closeness, plenty of hotness and girlslash potential, and above-average continuity.

inlovewithnight and I were discussing the Joss-BSG thing, and I think we decided he'd be all over Lee Adama and his daddy issues, and have loads of fun with Six and Baltar. We were also trying to figure out the logistics by which Lee and Scott Summers might actually be related (isn't Scott's father some kind of space pirate in the comics?)

Thanks for linking that Jack/Sloane fic, I'm going to read it now!

Joss Whedon as the Cylon God would explain a lot...

Clever...

Maybe a cameo on BSG is exactly what he is after?! Sneaky, Joss! ;-)
