graycastle and I have decided that we need to do a project. A very important project. A project that will represent the spirit and ideas of individual fandoms.
We want to find two-second clips from shows that say what those shows really mean. Ideally only one character.
This thought, see, was precipitated by me trying to explain the premise of the Sentinel, and then playing the first few minutes of the Sentinel, and then pausing it on a certain line to say "... well, actually, that kinda sums it up right there."
The line was Jim, talking to the SWAT guys at the beginning of the episode. He looked anxious and armed, and he said "Do you smell that?" That, my friend, is the Sentinel.
We decided that Fraser's first-came-to-Chicago was too obvious for due South, andgraycastle voted for "Ray. Ray. Ray. Ray. Ray. If you don't mind." I voted for "Hi, dad. How're you?" "I'm dead, son. Other than that, do you mean?" Except it's two characters, woe.
And my Buffy choice is, of course, "All right, I get it, you're evil. Do we have to chat about it all day?"

I hope this game is still as fun in the morning.

Date: 2007-04-01 07:10 pm (UTC)I'm too vague and "bwuh?" (I had to wake up at nine am) to come up with good clips, but I still think your Bad Blood bit is HI-larious.
Oh, except when Simon says "I still can't hear anything." That's almost as good as "do you smell that?" OR. Jim saying "no, no, no, Simon, it's all perfectly natural!" which says a lot about the fandom.
Also? I didn't mention this to you, but the best thing about the Sentinel is that there's a perfect, built in, queer/coming out metaphor. Like, Jim tells Simon. Simon says "well, okay -- that's kinda freaky" and Jim says "no it's not! it's natural and inborn!" and Simon says "okay, but no details please." Blair says "omg, you told him, didn't you?" Jim says "yeah! I had to!" Blair says "omg, did he freak out?" and Jim says "no, no, actually I think it's going to be okay."
