memes

[ratcreature]

Lots of people on my f-list are doing the tv ignorance meme, so I thought, why not?

Shows I'm familiar with include among others all Star Trek series, SG-1 and SGA, Farscape, Babylon 5 and Crusade, Andromeda, Jeremiah, Odyssey 5, Jake 2.0, Buffy and Angel, Firefly, Smallville, Roswell, Supernatural, Miracles, Witchblade, Dark Angel, Highlander, The Sentinel, Due South, The X-Files, Invisible Man, Dead Zone, CSI, Da Vinci's Inquest, Criminal Minds, Numb3rs, Everwood, ER, Traders, Life on Mars, The Professionals, and this season I've watched some or all of the new series Heroes, Jericho, Standoff, The Nine and Dexter.

Ask me about any show that you think I haven't seen, and I'll tell you what I think it's about judging from what I've seen on my f-list and the Internet in general.

As for another meme, I've seen a couple of people on my f-list participate in the incendiaryfood food log, and when I first read about that yesterday evening I noticed that I actually couldn't recall everything I had eaten that day, which was kind of embarrassing. So here's what I've eaten today (beverages are only listed when they weren't plain tap water):

• a slice of spelt-bread with cream cheese and strawberry jam, a latte, and two satsumas for breakfast
• a couple of dried banana chips and hazelnuts during the morning
• some muesli, i.e. a bowl of rolled oats mixed with some flax seed, some hazelnuts, a sliced banana, half an apple, a couple of grapes with milk, for lunch
• a slice of dark rye-bread with emmentaler cheese and another latte as afternoon snack
• two bowls of leftover vegetable soup (it had mostly carrots, cabbage, bell peppers, chickpeas and potatoes in it, since that was what I had on hand when I made it two days ago) with rice for dinner
• another satsuma and a couple of pumpkin seeds as evening snack

Prison Break!

Or Xena.

[ratcreature]

Prison Break gets always mentioned as one of the shows that are responsible for the sudden popularily of brothercest in slash fandom, so I guess it is about a pair of brothe in prison, and they break out? I think one brother got himself intentionally convicted to help with the escape and previously he designed prisons? I think they are escaped in the current second season and there is a manhunt involving the FBI and some slash the FBI dude with some prisoner even though they didn't have screentime togetheer yet. I also remember some kerfuffle about a Latino actor being not acknowledged as such making the characters artificially whiter or something?

As for Xena... it is set in a fake ancient Greece I think, perhaps with fantasy or mythology monsters, I'm not sure, and Xena and Gabrielle are some kind of Amazon warrior princesses, with Gabrielle being Xena's sidekick. They were almost together in canon and all the fanfic is femslash, and the fandom developed kind of isolated so they call all the genres differently, like it's not AUs but Ubers in Xena fandom and the like, kind of like some HP fans have no idea that there was fandom before and outside of HP and they didn't invent all the stuff, except that Xena fandom is smaller, I guess.

Actually, Mahone (the FBI dude) has now finally shared some screentime with Michael (the head escapee) on Prison Break, so I expect the slash to take off big-time any minute now. :-)

I missed the race kerfuffle (thank god), but if there was one, I presume it would be because Wentworth Miller (the guy playing Michael) is part black, but his character is white.

Very nice summation of Xena fandom, there.
