SPN squee and SGU eyeroll.

Wow. Apparently babbling about cooking and domesticity really hits hot buttons on my flist. Kind of like my office supplies lust, I am like, "who knew?" I keep writing these things and then I end up feeling much less alone. General hugs at y'all.

The stunning eighth_horizon wrote The gayest gen story ever. It's glorious (SPN, NOT Sam/Dean).

TOMORROW. TOMORROW MY SHOW COMES BACK. I could capslock forever. All squee here is redundant. I won't actually get to see it till Friday, but still. I just rewatched the Dean-on-Dean scene in Dream a Little Dream of Me. Oh, Dean. *flails*

I just read the casting descriptions for SGU. I could die laughing. Those really could be fantastic characters in a fantastic show-- there's a shitload of potential there, and with SGA fans moving over I assume the fic will be good-- but obviously the actual show won't be any good. Plus, have you noticed all the emphasis on how beautiful everybody is? Just once, I would like to see a set of character descriptions of perfectly average-looking people.

Remember, writers: If the character is good enough, and the acting is good enough, people will eroticize him anyway. Just look at Rodney McKay!

Wait, wait- the next SG is going to be Teen Stargate: Voyager? Also, most of those characters (with the exception of the mysterious spoiled brat (...wtf is she doing on a spaceship??) and the field medic (who will no doubt be plucky and non-white, to emphasize her working-class background), I think) are basically "like that one guy on the other stargate, but different."

Man, that kinda makes me sad for people who are really into it. :( And me, because I'm kinda into it.

I was in pain earlier when I read those casting descriptions. UGH. I really don't know what to think about SGU. I do know I'm not impressed so far. I don't want another show about sexy 20yr olds -sorry powers that be. And they are going to have the only older male character be married?? Are they purposely trying to alienate a huge segment of their viewership?

Alright, I've picked myself up off the floor. Seriously. Who do they think is going watch this all-new, all-young, all-cliched show? I actually laughed out loud at the character descriptions.
Euuw.
