Stupid brain

[donutsweeper]

Yes, it is very important to spend two hours researching the difference between a geological survey and a geographic survey so I can use the right term when Jack dismisses the data presented to him via the report in a brief sentence. 

And no, I'm not wasting time on the minutia because it puts off figuring out the specifics behind the evil alien, or how Jack is going to solve things and what's going to happen next- that's just a bonus.

Anyone have a brain that is functioning?  Mine appears to be stuck on spin cycle.

same goes for Capt Jack

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I think it's twice the threat with Jack.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

absolutely. And I love his character for that!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

And I love JB for making the character.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I really can't fathom Jack working played by anyone else. I've never seen another actor with that smooth level of omnisexual innuendoness while being vulnerable and strong all at the same time. It wouldn't work without JB

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Exactly. He is Jack, pretty much.

TW (or, Jack I should say) was my introduction to the world of fandom and fanfic. And, for the longest time, the only slash I could read, because, well- it's Jack, anything and everything was game. It made for an easy transition into the non-gen world of fic out there.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'd take your introduction over mine any day.

Mine? Hanson. I really despised some of my friends in high school after that.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

Oh MY, I simply can't fathom that. Just... no thank you

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I think that's why I didn't really get back into fandom 'til Heroes. Well, I did Harry Potter, but, uh, let's just say I got sick of those people rather quickly.

I have heard, unpleasant I guess the word for it is, unpleasant things about the HP fandom.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

There's this whole "book vs. movie" divide and quite a few 13-year-old girls.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I've run into similar 13 yr olds (or those acting like that) with Doctor/Rose batshippers and some weird NCIS fanthings. No thank you.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Oh, god. The Doctor/Rose shippers. I tend to stay far away from them.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

they are SCARY

speaking of scary- I found the oddest, most hysterically terribly disturbing thing on badfic_quotes. You have to read it. Um, or not, considering that build up.

consider yourself warned... it's here (http://community.livejournal.com/badfic_quotes/134405.html#cutid1)

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

That one is LEGENDARY over there.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I *just* learned about it from fanficrants. I can't believe someone actually wrote it! just... WHY?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I don't even want to think about why.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

probably for the best. disturbing on MANY levels

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Yes.

I'm watching TW DVD extras for "Captain Jack Harkness". Yay!

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I haven't had time to watch my TW DVDs yet. stupid bigbang taking up all my free time!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

They're fun. I could do without the menu music, however.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

the menus for all the DW's is annoying, doesn't surprise me TW's is too.

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I could do without hearing the TW theme-song for awhile.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

why do they make the loading of dvds and the menus so annoying?
