Fannish Osmosis

[valarltd]

Ask me about any show/fandom I'm not familiar with, and I will tell you everything I have learned about it from teh Internets!

Y'all know I'm a SW and ST fan. Brimstone, Buffy, Indiana Jones, Firefly, those are my other big ones.

Gonna try to stump you. :D

The Young and the Restless.

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

A lot of pretty people marry, commit adultry, divorce, have illegitimate babies and/or abortions or addictions.

[coneyislandbaby]

a) Totally accurate (except for the gay boys - subtextual only of course)
b) Of course this could apply to every soap. But that's what I love about them.

The 4400...

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

A whole bunch of people, including Maia Rutledge get taken away by aliens and then returned to Earth to save the world.

All i know about the 4400 comes from playing with rimmie at Fandom High.

(Maia dragged Han into the triage after he was stabbed with some serious ice shards on snow weekend. Hawkeye was NOT amused at a Besh negative Corellian bleeding out all over him)

An oldie but a goodie:

Xena the warrior princess

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

Ah Xena...

So there's Xena who used to be bad, but has reformed and wanders the world with her mouthy blonde companion/lover Gabrielle. She fights warlords, gets revenge, generally pisses off Ares (what a hottie!) and sometimes sings. She gets crucified by Caesar, helps David kill Goliath and lends her donky to the Holy Family on their flight to Egypt.

Joxer, a sorry excuse for a warrior, and Autolycus the King of Thieves figure in. Her arch enemy is Callisto, Psycho barbie, who at one point becomes immortal.

I think that's very good, especially if you never watched the show!

I should do this meme, except I only watch a minimal amount of TV and haven't read as much fandom stuff as I would like. As in:

My knowledge of Lost:

Hey, that guy from LOTR is in it. Boy, he's hot. And there was a plane crash somewhere, and there's some creepy thing in the plane. And I think at the end they all start eating each other, but that might be Lord of the Flies. Not sure.

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

Actually, I watched the first several seasons.

I was hooked in by the centaurs in "Hooves and Harlots." But i lost track of it sometime before the big musical ep (which I love)

[jedi-penguin.livejournal.com]

Another oldie: "I Spy"

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

Robert Culp and Bill Cosby team up to solve crimes. With lot of gadgets.

Sorry, but your osmosis powers failed you on this one.

[jedi-penguin.livejournal.com]

No gadgets; they were meant to be anti-Bond type spies. They stop Commies with the power of their frequent nakedness non-stop banter and their magical, non-staining white pants.

Re: Sorry, but your osmosis powers failed you on this one.

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

OK, no gadgets.

But i got the actors!

[kadath.livejournal.com]

Tell me about Ghost in the Shell. :)

[cbpotts.livejournal.com]

And I'd like to hear about the pre-quel appetizer series, Ghost on the Half-shell.

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

Not a clue. Other than "It's anime."

Something about demons in computers maybe?

[thefannishwaldo.livejournal.com]

I gotta do it...

Stargate. (SG-1 and/or Atlantis)

All i know about SG, I got from watching vids

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

Okay, there's a big metal doughnut with symbols on it. You dial up a new place to go, and then you have to fight Gou'alds which are worms that take over people's brains. They have minions called Jaffas, which have brands on their foreheads.

MacGuyver has lots of sex with the cute geek, who died a time or two. The blnde girl has sex with a ball of light. And the bald guy yells a lot.

Mechanical spiders figure in somewhere.

As for Atlantis, they found a second doughnut. And Shep has bad hair and lots of sex with McKay and there's a hottie named Ronin.

[coneyislandbaby]

Time Trax. And if you are so inclined for two - Doctor Who (the new one).

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

Time Trax was about a future cop hunting down time travelling fugitives?

The newest Dr is #11. The last one, 10, was edgy and emo and took on Giles in swimming pool. He travelled with Rose and Jack, and probably slept with Jack. Rose is his granddaughter, maybe.

One of the prior incarnations blew up Gallifrey, if not its whole galaxy, and so everyone is emo now.

Given the extraordinary number of fandoms out there, I have no compunctions about tossing two of them at you:

Horatio Hornblower (the movies, not the books)
Beauty and the Beast (the TV series, not the Disney)

What a fun meme! I may have to play, too. 8-D

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

HH: Archie is Pretty. Horatio is Prettier. They blow up lots of gunpowder, leap off cliffs, hose off naked on the deck and have lots of hot mansex, because of the British navy's creed: rum sodomy and the lash.

B&B: The girl is plain. Vincent is an anthropoid lion who lives in the sewers. he was found behind St. Vincent hospital and raised by a priest. They fight crime.

[shinymarigold.livejournal.com]

Good enough for government work. 8-)

I wanna play too

[jlm121.livejournal.com]

lets go for a trifecta of my fandoms

CSI:Vegas

Sentinel (yeah I had to throw in an easy one)

Oceans 11

Re: I wanna play too

[valarltd.livejournal.com]

Sentinel is cheating as I watched all the eps and have written fanfic for it.

The other two:
11 guys get out of prison and get Batman Mark III to lead them in a stealing stuff. They rob a casino and the guys from teh Crime Scene investigation are called in to fix it.
