Why?: It’s Stargate! Ok I’m going to try and not write an essay about how much I love this show – keyword being try 🙂 I mean SG1 will always be my favorite of the three (sorry Rush) but Atlantis gave us well ^^ Atlantis! Oh I love that city so much, and the jumpers, and all the lore about the Ancients. Oh the unwritten fic I have spinning in my mind – so many stories! The theme music is incredible (seriously whoever did the music for Stargate is a genius) and I love the new characters.

I mean the show isn’t perfect, I’m slightly bitter even now that Elizabeth Weir was recast for the show, Sam Carter didn’t have enough screentime during season four, there were some dodgy storylines and initially they overfocused on the wraith. Oh yeah I said I wasn’t going to write an essay about this show … basically it’s brilliant! Not perfect but very enjoyable and a great part of the Stargate franchise, which is my favorite TV show of all time.

The Walking Dead

Why?: Just the title I’m afraid is enough for me to run a million miles in the opposite direction. I’m a big coward about stuff like that. It’s just really not my thing at all. I’m loads better than I used to be, ten years ago and I wouldn’t have been able to stomach watching a lot of the sci-fi I absolutely love now. However, I think that ‘walking dead’ is a step too far – or actually who knows? Like I just said ten years ago and the goa’uld on stargate would have creeped me out, maybe in another ten years I’ll be able to manage the walking dead 🙂

Grimm

Why?: From reading the synopsis I should like Grimm. Someone I know in real life recommended it to me given my love of Once Upon a Time. I tried it ages ago, probably around the same time I tried Chuck. I went through a slew of shows testing them out to see what I’d like. I confess I didn’t make it through the first episode of Grimm. I’m not entirely sure now (in other words I don’t remember) what made me go “nope don’t like you” so quickly, because I do generally try and give things a fair shake. There was obviously something though or I wouldn’t have responded like that. Sorry!

TV Series: Chuck

Why?: This was on netflix, so free for me to watch. It’s the same story as with Lucifer really. I didn’t find anything objectionable about Chuck, it’s just nothing about it grabbed me either. It was ok. I watched the first few episodes and just decided I didn’t want to invest my time. I get more enjoyment out of rewatching the shows I love.

Lucifer

Why?: This is on Prime so it’s free for me to watch. A lot of people I follow love it and so I decided to give it a try. I watched the first few episodes and it was ok. I didn’t love it but I didn’t hate it. I might watch more in future if I feel like it, I might not. I really didn’t have any kind of strong feelings one way or another. It was very so-so for me. I guess nothing about it particularly grabbed me.

Man of Steel?

Why?: I’m very sorry anon but I tend to use this movie as an example where I’ve watched something and it’s “two hours of my life I’m not getting back.” Personally I thought it was a terrible movie. The way Jonathon Kent died was enough on it’s own but I also didn’t think the plot made sense, and it was unevenly paced. Basically not my cup of tea I suppose. Sorry!

I’ve got an anyelle prompt if anyone wants one. I’m been thinking about Shaun from Summer recently because he deserves something good in his life. Seriously I think I wrote in my review that Shaun really needs a Belle! Then when I couldn’t sleep I started wondering what would happen if he met Lacey instead?

Think about it. Shaun is adrift at the end of the movie. He’s looking out for Daniel (Daz’s son) but what else does he have? Daniel was quite worried about him so imagine Daniel dragging Shaun along on a night out at a club. Shaun feels totally out of place, and sort of perches at the bar, where he runs into Lacey who looks at him and decides he looks pretty good. Shaun is stunned and just follows when she drags him home.

Lacey would know the grim reality of life, and empathize with how shitty it can be, at the same time as injecting some fun back into Shaun’s life. Where Belle would want to talk feelings, Lacey would just laugh and probably make a dirty suggestion. Not that Lacey doesn’t feel things deeply (because she definitely does) but she guards her heart carefully. After they’d fallen into a pattern of spending time together, they could do soul searching in the dark in between rounds one and two. Nothing heavy that would scare either of them but enough that something real could develop between them over time.

So yeah not much of a prompt I guess. It’s kinda “what would happen if Shaun met Lacey in a club?” but if anyone likes it then have at it 🙂

Hello from Santa! Just checking in to say I hope you’re having an ok weekend. I’m trying to clear my deck of outstanding writing so that I can focus on your gift. ;-) I also have now got a copy of the film! I know you said it didn’t have to follow the film very strictly but if I’m doing a film then I like to watch the film first, even if I then deviate. That’s tomorrow night’s entertainment sorted! ~ Santa

You are so sweet! I hope you’ll enjoy the movie because it would be a real shame if you didn’t. I know movie AU prompts are a bit unpopular for this reason, but I figured the basic summary would be enough and so it might be alright. I really hope you didn’t feel obligated. Oh *hugs you* I hope you have a great weekend!

My weekend is going alright so far. Well … I spent the afternoon (and evening) on my entry for this months Monthly Rumbelling prompt and while I was working the whole time, it doesn’t look like I accomplished much *glares at it* still I should have at least some of tomorrow to work on it some more.

*hugs you again* you are awesome Santa! 🙂

So I’m doing research for an up coming story, and I’ve been messing around in google translate.  Apparently the word for fairy in Scottish Gaelic is sìthiche.  Blue why you so shady?!

She’s the Sith Lord we’ve been searching for!

(I’m going to be laughing about this for days)
