Sci-Fi Shenanigans
Not hardcore enough to be ultra nerdy, but it's not that shallow, either.

I'm not super dedicated to science fiction. In fact, it's my escape from reality. However, even when escaping I have plenty to say on the subject. I'm not as devoted to it as some people I know. That said, it's not a shallow thing for me. I can overthink it like I overthink everything else under the sun (and moon and other planets). My ramblings will range from cerebral to silly and borrow random elements from seemingly nonsensical areas. Many have (and will) appear in my journals first. When they arrive here, there will be edits for language, typos and similar details. However, the 18+ rating will stay since sex, violence and similar topics will be addressed in this blog. After all, sci-fi includes these elements in various ways from time to time.

To get an idea of my science fiction background, I recommend this primer "Preferences in a nutshell. Links are always relevant to my interests, and my favorites can be found in the lefthand column next to this blog. You'll also see links to my other journals if you want to browse the unedited versions of my rants and/or see who I am outside the science fiction realm. Comment as much or as little as you like. Just remember that I'm not here to take things too seriously, as that's just not how I roll in sci-fi discussions.

Since sci-fi quality can really run the gamut, I thought I'd bring your attention to a place where we can poke fun at bad sci-fi movies and reminisce about an old TV classic.

"Speaking of (potentially) bad movies..."  

I encourage you to post, hint hint!

I'm caught up on Heroes. Due to my work schedule, fanfic, political career stuff and wedding planning, I haven't had a chance to catch up until now. It's better than I expected, although it is pretty dark what with it being about redemption. I'm a little too tired to bring out the Popnotes of Doom, but I will offer up the following bits. Spoilers ahead and stuff (unless you've already seen the episodes).

*Bullet* Seems like Mohinder helped Hiro and Peter out sometime before this volume began. How I don't know. Though he has yet to appear in any episodes, I do remember him having a project out in London that filmed around the same time as the beginning of this volume. So we might see him. Might. I'm not so sure.

*Bullet* I'm not so sure what to make of all these new characters. I do like Emma. She seems to be the easiest of the characters for viewers to grasp. The carnival crew is...vague. I don't completely like them, but their lack of a clear side has kept them in my good graces. And we're not going to talk about Gretchen. We just won't. I'm cringing all over. And why the fuck did Annie off herself? I'd really like to know.

*Bullet* I apologize for the acronym use in advance. Still, Zachary Qunito=LOL. I think that's all I need to say.

*Bullet* Hiro IS dying! Ya-fucking-TTA! Sorry. I should not be so enthusiastic, but I am. I can't help myself. But even with that hanging over his head and the new family dynamics that will eventually emerge, there's something still sunny about it all. And yet, even surrounded by people, I feel like they're portraying Hiro as an island, which feels way more...right than it should.

*Bullet* I say if they really want to improve the ratings they need to carve out a character who has no powers at all and then get some solid casting. In completely unrelated news, I'll be watching The Bourne Supremacy later this week. I still haven't decided if I'll watch with the volume on or off. Pthb

If you didn't catch my fanfic wibbling in my journal...maybe that's a good thing. Anyway, I'm doing a test run on this story, which I'm tired of thinking about. It'll be up for a few days just to gauge reaction. After that, we'll see. I'll most likely take it down for editing, but I haven't decided. So, link.

Let me know if it doesn't work. In the meantime, I'll be hiding from the online world for a bit, most likely driving the porcelain bus thanks to this insanity.
