Lizardbeth's Tale

We went to the Dodger game yesterday for Father's Day. It was very cute that the players' kids got to throw out the first pitch of the game. All the little people in Dodger blue! awwww. There weren't a lot of hits, esp early on, but there was one spectacularly bad call (that took a run away!) that got the stadium up in arms so that was exciting. Also I was so happy that Capuano was pitching, because I'm friends with a guy with the same name so it's great fun to imagine him on the mound. Everytime they said his name or it went up on the board at a strikeout, I was all "Yay Chris!" Made it more fun.

I've written so many tv reviews lately and dealt with Kidlet finishing school for the year, I haven't been able to do much fic. Haven't even been to tumblr for a week (I am the worst mod in the history of fansite modding). But here's the links for anyone interested in my tv review stuff:

First, a very silly recap for bsg_epics: Water- with macros . If any of you recognize portions of this recap give yourself a gold star. Seriously, I was through about half of it and suddenly realized: This has all happened before...

Also, my reviews for Fairly Legal - Finale (mostly negative) ETA: someone commented to call me out on being uncool for saying Ben's 'not all that and a bag of chips.' Sorry I'm not a hipster enough for you, random person!

Also my review for Longmire - Damn Shame (mostly positive). (I try not to get all carried away with the squee, but Katee does have some fun reactions in this one) And for them I'm watching Grimm, which I knew very little about except that it was on Fridays and seemed to be a knockoff of Supernatural, so Here's my review of the first four episodes with bonus Supernatural commentary .

My BSG rewatch post for CliqueClack: the miniseries .

I am soliciting opinions on that rewatch!

Which is, btw, superseding my own here since between that one and the Epics one, it seems silly to do a third post. My original intent was to do chronological rewatch. The format I have to use for the site doesn't lend itself to writing it up as piecemeal as I tried here. BUT I still want to watch Razor and The Plan earlier than S4, because it makes no sense to wait on a spoilery rewatch. So when do you think would be a good time to watch the movies? The Plan is bookended with LDYB, so I could watch it after LDYB2. Any other point you think might be better? And when's the best time to watch Razor in its entirety? (not worrying about spoilers, since everyone going into this should be familiar with the entire series)

First, since bsg_remix is now all over I can claim mine:

( Fate Averted )
a remix of lostinapapercup Things to do on Galactica When You're Dead
main: Kara, Sam, Boomer, Gaeta, Laura (with some Bill, Caprica, Tigh, etc)
(Kara/Sam, Boomer/Tyrol, and Laura/Bill)

Summary: Five small changes, five lives altered

(Note: lostinapapercup's fic is really lovely and sad, taking on all those canon deaths. And while we all know I eat up angst with a spoon, I realized that a way to remix it was to take the same situations and show how they all might have lived if Ron weren't also into deadly angst with one small change. Or, IOW, a Five Things Fix-It.)

And Now Rewatch Day 2: all the other stuff around the Fall of the Colonies. That includes the Razor Flashbacks, Downloaded flashback sequence of Caprica Six, and that part of The Plan.

( Meanwhile, back on the Caprica ranch... )

Okay that's about enough for today, tomorrow "33".
Feel free to join in. :)

First of all, rose_griffes wrote a lovely POI fic for me, for wegetcarter, Three Sides, over here . You should go read it. And also I need to write mine.

I didn't write it today because I was too busy writing a rebuttal. Look, I usually control my urges to write rebuttals of everything in sight, but sometimes it gets away from me.

So over at bsg_epics there was a characterization activity today wherein someone slotted Sam into insecure and I decided I needed to challenge it. Because it touched on that doormat fanon that I can't stand. (probably didn't help that Trucco went and was adorably perfect on Twitter again)

( my Anders manifesto - or something )

And in other topics, as I mentioned on Twitter, I have this really overpowering urge to reach into my t.v. and rescue Arya. I just can't. It's hard. Sansa's situation is awful, but Arya's really makes me want to bring her here to live so I can take care of her and keep her safe. :(

So here's the thing: I'm writing a Kara/Sam/Lee triad marriage/relationship epic. (based on This bit of porn . And I'm trying to do it the bsg-way - or how it might have gone in canon.

And since I didn't actually ever watch Caprica, I have a few questions relating in a general way for flisters who watched it. Plus some bsg discussion.

ON MAWWIAGE ..

( cut for the details )

U HAZ THOUGHTS?

And also, I now seem to be in need of a K/S/L icon. Anyone?

I'm sad it's over. Except for The Plan, I suppose, but that's a ways off anyway.

'ware lengthiness.

( spoilers? y'think? )

I am well into a finale fic, by the way, thanks to an inopportune plot bunny that bit me last week. *sigh* because, yeah, I needed another project to work on.

*kicks Time Warner again for making me late, screwing up my weekend, and just on general principles*

( once upon a time in spoiler city, there was a girl, and a teal deer put its head on her lap )

Also, I should note that watching this on the computer while hubby happened to channel surf to Trucco's SVU ep is EXTREMELY DISCORDANT.

Well, jeez, that took two days with little to show for it. Such is the state of life right now.

Copied from my post at TWOP in a discussion about how the Dylons have reacted to their Cylonitude differently.

( spoilers through Blood on the Scales )

What I was thinking about today. Discuss?

I have nothing to say that isn't spoilery.

( SPOILERS BELOW )

look, even neutral Cylon Raider icon!

Though I really ought to just slap 'Team Cylon' on there and be done with it.

It's all done. NOW I AM SAD. But I did get to see greycoupon and ebneter again, and I finally got to meet cujoy in person! What fangirly awesome fun we had.

(NOTE: SPOILERS for SAGN too)

( and I will cut all the auction and episode reaction stuff, since I'm going on and on. Beware the TEAL DEER )

Huh, this not spending money thing is kind of tiring. But good fun to hang out and talk theories and shows and OMGYAY stuff.

Oh, I forgot! I talked with the costume designer briefly about the Bucs costumes, because I made one, and she told me about the costumes for THE PLAN. v v cool!

(and yes, this is lyssie's fault. Shippy "fairy tale" and meta discussion follows. Not your bag, don't read it.)


( Once upon a time, there was a girl. She was a fiesty thing... )

( and now for some meta -- narrative )
