Recs from fandoms starting with B
Jun. 26th, 2008 11:34 amVid recs, this time, and briefly, due to much rl stuff to do. And one fanfiction.
Battlestar Galactica:
Tricks: awesome season 4 ensemble vid. When I saw this, I immediately thought of
likeadeuce as it is set to a Bruce Springsteen song. Somehow, Springsteen and BSG seem to be made for each other, canon Dylan not withstanding.
Hera has six mommies: if you're thinking "crack" or "cute", you're direly mistaken. Six women and the shape of things to come, and the creepy, creepy twists of fate. The ladies in question would be Athena, Maya, Roslin, Boomer, D'Anna and Six. What amazes me is that despite using only footage from seasons 1-3, it predicts certain s4 events perfectly.
Babylon 5
When some of my other fandoms drive me crazy with their shipping wars, I flee in the general direction of B5, or rather, my Centauriphile corner of it. To be honest, I have no idea whether there ever were John/Delenn versus Sinclair/Delenn or Lennier/Delenn wars. Or Susan/Talia versus Susan/Marcus. Or slashers versus het fen. If there were, I missed them, due to being invested in other storylines and not being on the net most of the time back then. But I am sure that nobody who shipped/ships Londo with G'Kar wasn't absolutely delighted by his relationship with his wife Timov as well. And touched by his doomed love for Adira. And convinced he had something going on with Urza back in the day. And... you get the idea. (Centauri polyamory being canon isn't enough explanation for this lack of mono-shipping. Just look at Captain Jack Harkness and a lot of posts written in the weeks leading up to Something Borrowed. And after, come to think of it.) Anyway - while Londo/G'Kar and Londo/Adira is getting written now, there is a sad lack of Londo/Timov (yours truly wrote her story covering the marriage ages ago), so I was delighted to find, via
hobsonphile, a new story featuring my favourite Centauri and the wife he kept, and who kept him: Against the Dawn
