Weekend Rap-up
Aug. 22nd, 2005 10:49 am( Boot and...I don't think rally is the word )
Another trip to Wal-Mart, much exhaustion had by all who attended--Michelle, BSD, Jordan--but a good game of Boticelli. I got 'strong' points from Jordan for using "Kyle Katarn" on BSD's K character (which I can't recall at present), and Michelle got kudos for "Ky Kiske." Jordan won the night, however, by the most awful question ever for my N character--"Did you become more popular after a part of you died?" The answer was: Nirvana. Oowwwwwww.
( Best Buy is the DVD purchasing place....OF DOOM )
Mmm, read a lot of Firefly fanfic, mostly of the tolerable despite a search through the GAFF archives to find something to outrage my fandom love. Have yet to find one that's written like an episode, as a lot of what interests the fandom seems to be looking through River's eyes (probably thanks to the wonderful series coda ep "Objects in Space"); getting on with the slash; getting on with the incest (read some good ones of that, too, mostly predicated on River's complete inability to function on a high enough level to realize why it is/should be considered wrong); and pairing off the 'leftover' characters not hinted at relationships/entanglements in the series. I love the canon pairings, don't get me wrong, and enjoyed a few of the romantic stories, but there's all this emphasis on some twagic event bringing out Character X's twu wub for Character Y that is the bane of any fandom's existence and is particularly annoying in so intelligent a series. There have been plenty of tragic/dramatic moments for some of the crew to hook up and launch shuttles, but it ain't happened; there has to be more. I want more character development. I wonder if there's some stasis in the genre while they await the movie.
Speaking of Serenity, does anyone know when it picks up after "Objects in Space"? It's three years now since the show went off the air, and that's a sizeable gap. Then again, week-to-week shows were often so much later that serious injuries were fully healed, several jobs were completed. Timing, in short, isn't going to be predicated on intervening space between canon offerings, but still, curious.
