Review/Analysis of DS9's "Second Sight"

[tv-366.blogspot.com]

After the high of "Necessary Evil" comes a low. Not a very bad low, but definitely not the show's strongest outing.

Thread for trips/events that sounds completely bonkers and fun.

[(Anonymous)]

When I visited a car show today, there were representatives from Carbage Run Sweden. Carbage Run is a 5 day "race" through Europe, where you have to have a car that is at least 15 years old and cost less than 500 Euros. You get a bunch of missions to complete every day and they may be weird and awkward at times. End goal is to get your car over the finish line. Maybe one year I could participate, 'cause it sounds like a really fun adventure to me.

Have you heard of, or perhaps done something similarily oddball and fun? Throw in all suggestions here.

Buddy of mine did a massive moped race from, like, Portland or Seattle down to San Diego. Pretty fucking insane stuff

Maybe not all that oddball, but I'd love to try a walking holiday. Haven't been in good enough health or even just had the time/company lately, but it's on my bucket list. I have a mate who hiked from our town to the next town over through the mountains, think it took them the better part of a day or something, which I'd love to try when I'm in better shape.

Which old/dead fandoms do you miss?

[(Anonymous)]

Re: Which old/dead fandoms do you miss?

[(Anonymous)]

Harry Potter.

I mean, it's still there, but it's mostly Harry/Draco porn and ranting about one thing or another. I get it, Snape was a stalker and Lily was an innocent victim. I get it, Snape wasn't a stalker and Lily was a judgmental whore. I get it, Draco/Voldemort/the Whomping Willow was the real hero of the stories. I get it, JK Rowling just tweets for the money. What happened to just liking the books, and writing fic about the books?

I wish Parks and Recreation had had a larger fandom to start with, but I miss squeeing about that show.

I posted a parody to (related to Trump and his treatment of the national Parks Department), and literally no one said anything. Granted, maybe it just wasn't a good parody, but I was like "aw, this fandom really is dead." Which sucked as I spent hours on it.

Re: Which old/dead fandoms do you miss?

The Dark Knight Rises. I liked the Bane/Blake pairing because size kink.

I am still hoping DBZ will get a resurgence.

Re: Which old/dead fandoms do you miss?

I miss 90s Ranma fandom. It was the best. It was crazy. It was all over the place because half the fandom was more a fan f the concept than Ranma itself as they had access to the cartoons or manga and were just going off the fandon versions and other fanfics. It gave some great permutations.

I also miss 1990s Pratchett fandom, when it was just alt.fan.pratchett and a few geocities sites.

One thing I've noticed about fic

[(Anonymous)]

One thing I've noticed is that in the rare occasions when a fic will make me go "Wow, this story is REALLY amazing, I need to check out what else the writer wrote!"... it will turn out to be a writer I already knew from a different fandom and whose entire ficlist I've already read.

It seems like there's only a handful of really, really good and mature fanwriters who consistently write novel length stories with good characterization, interesting plots, engaging character archs, original storylines...

Made me appreciate their work even more, as well as wish I could do more to show my appreciation than leave a comment or a kudos.

What have you been baking? Any baking-related triumphs or disasters lately?

Rogue One

[(Anonymous)]

Finally got around to watching the movie. It was way better than I feared it might be. I didn't find the Tarkin cgi distracting at all, and if I hadn't been told he was cg I would have just thought they'd done the same as Mon Mothma and found a great cosplay.

I will say that it is super obvious what is Edwards original cut of the movie and what the Studio added. It is clear the space battles and final climax was meant to be the Eadu and they cut and added stuff to make it a pit stop and put Scariff in as the reshoot finale. Basically whenever it is in the dark or rain or the characters are reacting to something cool offscreen then that is Edwards. If it is in sunlight or it is the characters doing something cool and the cool thing being shown on screen itself, that is the studio reshoot.

Easter Inconveniences Thread

For me it was that at some point last night my hydroponics unit decided to pack up and die on me. It'll be Wednesday at the earliest before I can get replacement parts. They won't process the order until they are back in the office on Tuesday and assuming I'm in the pile for Tuesday processing (because there will be a lot of extended weekend orders backed up) and they put it in the dispatch queue before last shipping Tuesday evening and I have an overnight slot, Wednesday afternoon is the earliest it will arrive. I bet it is more like Friday or Thursday. Goddammit, but thanks for dying for our sins tho dude.

How can I stay awake?

[(Anonymous)]

I am tired and want to sleep. But if I do I won't be able to sleep tonight and I'll be exhausted tomorrow.

Annoying things to you...

[(Anonymous)]

that other people would think are great.

[thewakokid]

I have much Cider in my belly.

I feel very kindly disposed to you all right now.

Todays a better day than I was expecting it to be.

What are you into lately?

[randomdrops]

New fandom, pairing, trope, kink. Or non-fandom hobby. Whatever. Just wondering what your latest obsession or topic of choice is.

I'm kind of in a blank stage. Nothing is really catching my interest and holding it atm.

Anyone watched this yet?

I don't dig on depressing media, so I wasn't going to watch it, but is it really as bad as this video makes it out?

Pet Names in Fandom

[(Anonymous)]

How do you feel about them in fandom?

Which are the ones you can't stand/believe a character would ever use with another character?

Ones you liked?

What pet name do you think your favorite character would have for you? Would you like it? Would it be based on appearance or personality?

I am getting a pet hedgehog!

[(Anonymous)]

After being on a waiting list for almost a year, my family is finally getting a baby hedgehog! We get to pick him up in a few weeks, but in the meantime, I've been getting supplies so we'll be completely ready for him. I've also read practically every legitimate hedgehog care guide online, so I understand some of their habits, quirks, and preferences.

Has anyone on here ever had one? If so, what advice would you give a new hedgehog owner?

PS: We did not name him after any fictional hedgehog character. ;)
