Poll: Fandoms I Have Loved: Reader Input

[thefourthvine]

I'm just curious, really. I have a lot of half-finished FIHL posts sitting on my hard drive - all the ones listed below are somewhere between 1% and 80% complete - and I guess, now that I've finished with Smallville, I'm feeling a little...unfocused.

Pointers, anyone?

ETA: I have already done (in reverse order) Smallville, Stargate: Atlantis, The Fast and the Furious, Oz, Ocean's 11, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Master & Commander, due South, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Sentinel, and Lord of the Rings. Those can all be found at my Fandoms I Have Loved tag.

ETA2: Allow me to smack my forehead in a painful fashion, because I completely forgot to put on the poll two others that I have in progress: Harry Potter and the DCU. Memo to me: no more posting polls late at night.

You have the two shows that I would have thought of first: Sports Night and Hercules!! So much love do I have for these shows, so much so, that I own the complete runs of both, so you know I would love to see your take on them. And I know you love Sports Night 'cause that's how I found you.

The only two others that I would suggest, but thought of after I filled out the poll are both old (like I am), but are filled with slashy goodness: Man From UNCLE, which I haven't seen in decades but I remember it fondly and the fic is really good, and Starsky and Hutch, which I am currently rewatching and am shocked at what they got away with back then. Those boys are in love with each other just as surely as Herc and Iolaus are.

Oh, Sports Night. One of my all-time fandom loves. It's one of those FIHL that I've hesitated about writing forever, just because - how could I do it justice?

I must admit that I've never seen either Man From UNCLE or Starsky and Hutch. But I've seen vids (and the blooper reel!) for the latter, and - oh. My. God. They were so seriously doing it, and the actors so obviously knew it. (Thus, I have added them to the list of Fandoms Where Even the Actors Knew Their Characters Were Gay, Gay, Gay, As Judged by the Blooper Reel: The Sentinel, due South, Starsky and Hutch.)

I watched the S&H movie (okay, half of it - I have an attention span problem when it comes to visual entertainment) with Best Beloved. And there were all these scenes of total and absolute gayness, and I was going, "Um, yeah, way to crank the gay up to 11, guys." And BB said thoughtfully, "No, no. The show was pretty much like this, too."

Possibly I will get S&H discs from Netflix. BB is sure to want to watch them, right?

Right?

Netflix is how I'm watching them. Go for it, you won't be disappointed. Hell, they get almost naked in the pilot and the looks they give each other- oy, don't get me started. They share food, chairs, women... and they will risk their lives anytime their partner is threatened.

As for the movie, I ran screaming from the trailer soo...

Tell BB that if she wants company, I'll watch them with her (seriously, beats sitting all alone in my room) (ok, well not really seriously because you don't know me, but, honestly I would, and I think we actually do live not too far from each other). I'd gladly watch Herc again as well.

(and DiR so rocks) (and Good Omens)

Netflix is a force for evil. I'm growing ever more certain of this. It makes it so easy to say, "Well, maybe I'll just try one or two. I mean, why not? What could be the harm?" And, tragically, you don't realize until much too late that the potential for harm is immense. At least, I don't figure it out until I'm even more behind on my sleep, and Best Beloved is openly mocking me over dinner.

*sighs sadly*

And we truly don't live all that far from each other; you live in Thousand Oaks, right? And I live near Torrance. We are both citizens of the conglomeration of dinky suburbs that, united, became a teeming metropolis! With freeways that resemble mall parking lots at Christmastime!

*swells with civic pride*

Sleep? We're supposed to sleep?

We definitely are neighbors, just under an hour according to Mapquest. You should come to Game Night some Friday :)

Love your icon.
