Random fannish photo-sharing time!

[eruthros]

SO, I woke up today with a cold and feeling all blech, so I have been drinking tea and watching TOS. Because I'd never seen "The Cage!" And because seeing the new movie reminded me of how much I enjoy old Trek, even (perhaps especially) when the aliens are dogs wearing horns. And thus, I would like to share with you a hilarious scene from "What Are Little Girls Made Of," aka "the one where Nurse Chapel gets to have snarky dialogue at her ex."

Oh, Kirk!

Yes, seriously. AND he plans to hit someone with it. See, he's running away from the android guy, and he has no weapons, so he breaks off a large, rough-edged pink stalactite. And looks hilarious, let me just say.

He seems pretty pleased with himself about it, actually:



And also, while I'm sharing random fannish pictures, I love Leverage a lot you guys. But at first, when I was watching it, I had a small problem with some Eliot-related double-vision. This is what I mean:

Here is Eliot, undercover in the pilot:


And here is my double-vision problem:


Now, intellectually I know that they don't really look alike. But our introduction to Eliot was all coffee-sipping geek with bad hair, and I kept imagining him as Daniel-ish. I'm mostly over it now! Mostly.

Eliot was totally all with the Daniel in that scene; both darkrose and I commented on it. :)

[eruthros]

Yes! And since that was more or less how we were introduced to Eliot, I continue to see him as all Daniel Jacksony. Even though he no longer is!

[anatsuno]

wah, I cannot see the pictures, I don't know why!

[eruthros]

Hmm, is that better? I changed the urls, so if it's a problem on picasa's end that should fix it there...

[anatsuno]

I see them now! turns out I can't reliably inform you about the reasons because I was having connection trouble on my end, too. *headdesk*

[eruthros]

Well, it was probably a problem on my end, because thingswithwings was having trouble too. Anyway, I'm glad you let me know so I could fix it!

[thingswithwings]

I can only see the kirk ones.

[eruthros]

I think you caught me mid-changing the urls. Is it better now?

I hate online photo hosting. I'm all, it worked for telesilla! So clearly it's not my html! But it always is some weird photo-hosting thing.

[thingswithwings]

yes, better. PS, you are adorable for copying toft's icon idea. and for finding yet another scene in which Spock cuddles a furry animal. man, I need some new trek icons. and more old trek icons.

[eruthros]

Well, yes, because: It's Spock and a kitten! SO ADORABLE. Also, I didn't make it, so I don't know the context -- I hope it's as good as the puppy-in-a-fur-suit context. :) Perhaps I will find the scene soon!

[telesilla]

Your Eve Sedgwick icon has me in stitches.

[thingswithwings]

thanks! I am rather fond of it. To me, it's the perfect queer theory/low culture mix. :)

[were_duck]

I would like to second this--your icon is hilarious and perfect :)

[thingswithwings]

thanks! the film seems to have encouraged a lot of people to break out their hot TOS icons, I see. :)

[sasha_feather]

I shrieked laughing at the Kirk pictures!!

[eruthros]

They never had any idea what they were doing on that show. It's what makes it so adorable!

[were_duck]

Wow, those Kirk pics are hilarious! I think I need to watch that episode right now.

[eruthros]

Sadly, he only carries the giant pink stalactite around for thirty seconds or so. But he does get cloned! Again! And Nurse Chapel is pretty snarky at her ex. :)

[toft]

Sorry you're sick :( but if Kirk holding a large, pink, stone penis can't help you, nothing can. Also, you're so right, Eliot is totally getting his Daniel Jackson on, there.

[eruthros]

That is so true! Forget tea -- in the future, I will take Star Trek TOS for all illnesses. Because, Spock holding a dog in a fur suit! Giant pink stone penis!

Also, yes, the mismatched plaids are strong in those two.

[livrelibre]

Hope you feel better! And now I really really have to watch TOS and I really really want an Eliot/Daniel/Cam or Chrichton/anything w/James Spader crossover fic.

[eruthros]

Oh, TOS is such great fun! I mean, it's often sexist and racist and the plots are ridiculous and the acting is silly and the effects are hysterical, but somehow it all adds up to a show that's totally fun to watch :)

Also: Eliot/Daniel/Cam? Yes please!

[bironic]

The stalactite. Oh my God, another piece of my childhood just died.

[eruthros]

I hope it was worth it! :)
