Return of the TV Meme!

But before we get back to that thing we all forgot I was doing, look! Shiny!




So much fun with this last year. All of the fun of a comment ficathon with a super teeny tiny commitment.

(And a special enticement (maybe?) to Arrow fans: I am pledging right now to fill any and all* Slade/Ollie prompts to this. Because dammit, it's hiatus and we need to get our fic on before canon inevitably does what canon does.)

*Unless someone posts, like 30 prompts in a row. Not cool, hypothetical jerk who would do that.

♥ Slade/Ollie ♥

(Prompts can be filled by more than one person, so I'm not hogging the prompts or anything. Just making a solemn promise.:)

Day 07 - Least favorite episode of your favorite TV show

I'm really forgiving of shows I love. There are episodes of Supernatural and Doctor Who I love more than others but I've never felt like an episode was a complete waste of time. There's always one scene, a great line, something that saves it (I mean, the ghost truck episode is no one's favorite but I miss conversations that didn’t start with “this killer truck” is fantastic.) So those two are out. And the episodes of BSG the fandom tends to disdain, like the black market episode or the union strike episode were the ones I really liked because I was much more watching the humans rebuild their society than the Cylon politics.

Love the first season of B5, even the episodes that are admittedly super clunky.

Even the series finale of Smallville which I 95% hated hated hated had that one perfect scene.

So like I said, I'm pretty easy going. It's not hard for me to find something to love in even subpar episodes.

Except for the $#&^$# tattoo episode of Lost. Toss that into the fire and watch it burn.

(Special runner up for every time Q showed up on Voyager. Seriously, the hell was that?)

Thirty Days Of TV: Day Eight

Before we get down to business, for anyone who missed it I posted two fics this past week: Dance With Your Ghost (Dean/2014!Cas) and Terms Of Service (Dean/Cas AU based on the fairy tale "The Elves And The Shoemaker." And written for dc_dystopia so y'know, cavet lector and all that.:) I've been rolling around in the comments for both of those like a happy puppy for the past few days, so thank all of you super much. You're awesome. ♥

Now back to the meme I will apparently never finish!

Day 08 - A show everyone should watch

Okay, the right answer to this is Homicide: Life on the Streets (best cop show ever!*) or Babylon 5 (loooooooooooove!) or maybe MST3K so you will understand why I'm singing about Puma Man and how he flies like a moron. Those are the right answers!

But I'm so in love with Arrow right now I don't care.:) I swear to all of you, this show has gotten really, really good. Fast-paced plotting and good action sequences and a really well developed villain. If he even is a villain, because I'm not even sure any more! And an actually compelling conspiracy plot, which is worth its weight in diamonds. I don't know if the writers can keep this pace up over multiple seasons, but this is a great ride. And that goes double if you have any appreciation for the DC universe, because love for the DCU is built into this show's bones.

No one is more surprised by this than me! I went in expecting a cheesy substitution for Smallville, which for its first three seasons was the show of my heart, but Arrow's already so much better than Smallville ever was. I want this show to have a ridiculously big fandom that writes all the fic.

ARROW!

(*Yes, yes, The Wire, but that's not a pure procedural the way Homicide is. And also I haven't see The Wire.)
