River/Connor smackdown!

[lettered]

Ok, not really, but wouldn't it be cool?

Probably you guys know this already because you're this freakish hive mind with super sonic powers, but I'm excited about it anyway. Even if you have already done your stinger waggling bee dances of buzz over it, or whatever. You bunch of weirdos.


A pilot for a show called The Sarah Connor Chronicles, or something else lame and long like that, has been filmed. It's about Sarah and John Connor, set after Terminator 2. Which I think might be among my top ten movies of all time. (Or at least the top ten movies containing Arnie; and a skinny emo-y boy with a squeaky voice who I always thought was actually quite good for the role but now actually also think is kinda pretty [to-my-everlasting-shame] and would love to see having boysex with Connor Connor [*cough* ros_fod who-won't-write-it]; and also containing Catherine with machine-guns-and-stuff instead of those frilly 80s dresses she used to wear for Ron Perlman.)

Anyway, so Sarah and John Connor on the run from terminators, one of whom is played by none other than that badly accented ballerina from Waiting In The Wings, otherwise known as River Tam, otherwise known as really really hot when she does her ballet-moves-of-murderous-intent. OR tries to kill you with her brain. Am I the only one doing the stinger waggling dance of GLEE over this? Anyone? Bee-friends? Summer Glau going "I'll be back" on your ass? The way she moves fulfills a need in me, the need for beauty I have in my life. Her ankles and the bend at her waist fulfill it. Also the flesh of cumcumbers, that's a fragment of beauty I could not live without. But what I'm saying is I want to see River Tam kill lots and lots of things. With her ankles. And the dimples at her shoulder-tips. The top part where the clavicle touches the scapula. That part.

I've seen the John Connor (Thomas Dekker) in several things but I really mourn the lack of Edward Furlong, even though he's strange and kind of fugly now and also got arrested for freeing lobsters (true story). I also mourn the lack of VK even though he never had anything to do with it in the first place. I also mourn the lack of Harry/Draco squee from the stinger waggling dances of my flist because I can't *help* it; I mourn my lack of sense-making regarding them.

The woman playing Sarah Connor is Lena Headey, who was the queen in 300. And Olga from Onegin, not that anyone watches Liv Tyler's lips and Ralph-Fiennes-in-a-corset over and over again except me. She was a great character in 300, but I don't see Sarah Connor in her. If I had to pick one actress on the market today to play that character it would be Katee Sackhoff. It's the blonde hair and the Starbuckyness of her, and also the fact that she is the hotest hot to ever hot since man invented the Equator. Which actually man didn't but work with me here.

As far as Mommy!Connor goes I mourn the loss of Catherine with machine-guns-n-stuff and also T-1!Sarah's rhinestones, and that other fic Fod will never write which is John Connor/Reese, which we all know has nothing to do with Sarah Connor other than that whole incest issue for which I also mourn the lack, because I am dirty sick and wrong, although I mourn no lack of that among the stinger wagglers because you have it in spades or combs or wharever in fact you keep it. In fact you all frighten me. Freaks. I love you so, so much. Thank you for feeling with me over my sad tale of robbery and loss. And with the chimp sex and horror horse stories? That is why I keep you around. In case you were wondering.

From what I can tell this show got picked up, but it's by Fox so I hope Englishmen come on horses and hunt it down if it is any kind of good and gets dropped. I wish, oh I wish, I had a laptop. I've decided that's why I am rambling here today. Now buzz away young friends and write me Buffy/Faith STAT.

Dude,

Are you drunk?

[tkp.livejournal.com]

no!

can you believe it?

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

Uhm. No?

Or you're channeling Dovil!

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Maybe? At any rate, she never posts any more and I miss her.

[samsom.livejournal.com]

I did not need John Connor/Reese in my head.

oh. god.

Also, I saw the first season of Beauty & the Beast on sale the other day at Wal-mart. Thought about getting it. Then thought about 50 minutes of longing glances, poetry reading and the silent comtemplation of committing beastiality 22 times, and I couldn't. In the end, I choose to remember Sarah Connor, not Catherine Chandler.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Gahhh, with like, 80 more h's. I didn't know B&B was going to dvd. I need that. Vincent is only part cat, you know. It's not like COMPLETE bestiality, or anything. Not like John/Reese is complete and utter WRONG.

[samsom.livejournal.com]

SO WRONG! But - here's the thing. Now that I'm thinking about it ::glares::, it makes a sort of sense, right? Not that many people around, lonely nights in the fall out shelters. John's older (mind blows), harder and Reese is just this kid, trying to survive. The connection John can't explain, and Reese doesn't understand.

Wrong. So. Wrong.

B&B has been dvd'ed. The tag line on the back says it's "The most romantic television show of all time." I think that's when I put it back down. But I remember the show, and I liked it. Catherine tried so hard to live in this world, and really, all she wanted was to be with Vincent. Remember when her Da died? She went down to him. ::sobs::

NO! I'm not getting pulled back in.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

I know! I *know*! About the John/Reese. You're so right. It was ros_fod's idea. She's a genius.

I *loved* B&B. It's one of my favorite tv shows of all time. It is also one of the only tv shows I've ever really watched, so that's not saying much, but yeah. I don't remember her dad dying; I was pretty little when it was airing. I only really remember that I really DID think it was the most romantic thing ever. I'll probably find it cheesy now, which saddens me.

[kita0610.livejournal.com]

Ah, my very first beastiality OTP.

*has some more nostalgia*

[tkp.livejournal.com]

I think I mentioned that fandom was where I learned about the cat penises.

The very *first* thing that pulled me into BtVS was that the vampires growled like animals.

[seraphcelene]

Dude, seriously? You sure you're not drunk? Heat exhaustion, maybe? It was *really* hot this weekend.


But what I'm saying is I want to see River Tam kill lots and lots of things. With her ankles. And the dimples at her shoulder-tips. The top part where the clavicle touches the scapula. That part.

So, why haven't you written Firefly? Or have you and *I* just missed. And if that's the case then that is SO wrong 'cause I thought we were friends, pals, buddy-buddy.

*sigh*

I love River Tam's ballet dances of Doom. So dainty, so lithe, so gracefully lethal. YAY!!

RE: B&B. My first OTP. Forget the beastiality. He's only part-cat after all and it wasn't his fault!!! Cat people need love, too!

Catherine as Sarah Connor was the hotness and I still salivate over her arms and those cheekbones and all the long, straight hair and how she was mostly crazy. How. Awesome!! Lena Headley could possibly do it, but she isn't Linda Hamilton so it's going to take some getting used to and that Zach kid from Heroes does not strike me as badass enough to be John Connor. I don't know. Just not right. You know this could all go very, very, very wrong.

And not just in the dirty, bad, wrong, twisty way that you are *so* wrong. Wrong but awesome because Connor/Connor, omg! Who do I gotta bribe.

Okay. I gotta work now. Stop distracting me.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Totally not drunk! See, this is me as a normally am.

I haven't written Firefly! The thing is I am not very fannish over Firefly. I *love* the show, and might've been fannish had it gone on, but there's really nothing I feel compelled to write.

But yeah, dances of DOOM! Totally press my buttons.

I liked the cat element of Vincent. Sick woman that I am. I love you forever for not discriminating against cat people. You are so generous and open-minded.

I still salivate over her arms and those cheekbones and all the long, straight hair and how she was mostly crazy

LOLOLOL me too!!!!

that Zach kid from Heroes does not strike me as badass enough to be John Connor.

I know. However he was in an ep of House and he was freakin' scary in that. But not really a badass.

because Connor/Connor, omg! Who do I gotta bribe.

ros_fod. Her idea.

*distracts*

Also, you are awesome. *draws hearts around you*

[seraphcelene]

Seriously ... adoration is distracting. I'm trying to work here. I'm also trying *very* hard to block out thoughts of the Angel post-NFA thing I'm working on and you with the VK and kita with the JM are So Not Helping.

Plus, you, with the hearts. Distracting. You are a Distraction. There. You've been dubbed.

And also, now, I wanna see you drunk AND fannish. That would be good times.

But yeah, dances of DOOM! Totally press my buttons.

I know. I had to use a line about Kali and River in eyes like the summer because HELLO, dancing killing machines. Yeah.

T2 is *such* a great movie. If ever we are flipping through channels and catch sight of it, we can't help but be sucked in. This could be a good show, but... can't help but agree that we'd mourn the loss of Linda Hamilton and Edward Furlong. (He *was* very pretty. Haven't seen what he looks like all grown up? And probably don't want to, if you say he's all spoiled now.)

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I love T2.

Well, for a while, Furlong got really bad into drugs and stuff and whenever I saw a pic of him he looked really bad, poor dude. I looked him up (or something) again recently after the stint with the lobsters and he got healthy again, got married, has a kid, and looks...kinda like a normal guy? I think. That kind of beauty in young men doesn't transfer well to older age, I think. Anyway, he was a cute kid, but when I think of his pretty I'm actually usually thinking about American History X.

I love that icon.

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

You are breaking my brain here.

And I did write you Buffy/Faith! I just need to go back and improve it.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I *really* liked that fic. I hope you do more on it. It was a great idea.

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

Now I want to know what happened with the lobsters!

And I kind of want to read VK/EF on a wild lobster-freeing rampage during which they're both kind of drunk and have to jump into a shower together at the end because they smell like seawater...

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he was on something, and in a grocery store or something, and he took them all out of their cage because he wanted to free them, and he got arrested.

The fact that EF actually did that turns me off the idea of lobsters in RPS entirely.

[entrenous88.livejournal.com]

? Just feeling embarassed for him? Or is it that you don't like using actual RL details in RPS?

[violaclaire.livejournal.com]

Dude, I need to find a way to watch that, just for the sheer Glau-erful wonderfulness of it. Even though I haven't watched any of the Terminator movies.

Curse my lack of television access/free time! Maybe I can catch it in summer reruns if it gets picked up . . .

[tkp.livejournal.com]

Oh, that makes me sad. Terminator 2 is the awesomest awesome. You have to watch Terminator 1 though because that makes Terminator 2 even awesomer. Don't watch Terminator 3. Ever.

I'm glad I didn't get into tv until after undergrad. The only show I watched then was Gilmore Girls, and it was difficult enough making time for that. Now I watch like 4 shows, which is a lot for me.

[semby.livejournal.com]

*breathes deep* I've never watched a Terminator movie. *whew* There, I admitted it. Although I did go on a Terminator ride or show kind of thing at Disney World (or Universal Studios, I guess? same trip) a few years ago, and I think they used footage from the original movie. So I've seen a little!

Not sure I would be totally interested with my lack of Terminator background, but I *would* love to see Summer Glau kick ass again, and I kind of like that Thomas Dekker guy when he's on Heroes. So maybe. But probably not.

[tkp.livejournal.com]

You and violaclaire lose.

Terminator 2 really is an awesome movie. I highly rec it. Terminator 1 is bad and 80s cheesy, but I highly rec watching it before T-2 both for the background and because the difference between Linda Hamilton's character in 1 and 2 is part of what makes her so badass. Don't ever watch T-3 even if someone ties you to a chair and tapes open your eyes.

I don't think the show could live up to the badassitude that is T-2, though. Few things do, imo.

[ravenwings-7.livejournal.com]

Terminator 1 is bad and 80s cheesy

::butts in to gape the gape of disbelief::

::moss6886 o_O's at you over my shoulder::

I'll agree that T1 is highly dated (give it a couple more years, T2 will join that club), but bad? I mean, it may not have the specific bits of coolness (Robert Patrick, kid-affection fest, badass!Sarah), and it's certainly not as fun, but I've always viewed it as the better film (well, not always, but that's because I first watched them when I was about five and the kid-POV made T2 more accessible).

::disowns you::

::changes mind and welcomes you back even though I can't understand your taste in Terminator movies::
