TV is sometimes a pointless waste of time.

[azurelunatic]

...but not always.

I don't, as a rule, watch TV. This is a change from three(?) years ago, when I was hooked on the X-Files. Back to my roots. But I digress.

Tonight, it was not a waste of time. marxdarx tuned in to Enterprise, and there was almost hot Vulcan lesbian seduction! I mean, there was hot Vulcan lesbian seduction going on, but sadly there was no hot lesbian Vulcan sex afterwards. Boo.

Hmf. Perhaps I should watch the show, all of it, then slash it.

The Vulcan crew member? Hot. Hot hot hot. *swoon*

[azurelunatic]

Yes, she is.

And the emotionally under control thing? Hot.

See...

I saw the ad for that, and I thought wryly to myself, "That's one way to up your viewing audience, I guess." I watched the first few episodes of Enterprise but bored of it quickly. It's not "appointment" television the way ST:TNG once was for me, though I do catch myself watching it on occasion. This latest gimmick you describe (for this is how it translates to me) had the opposite effect. I despise transparent ploys to get people to tune in. This is perhaps why I've never sat through "a very special episode" of anything, or one where they say, "SOMEBODY WON'T LIVE THROUGH IT!" and so on.

[azurelunatic]

Ah.

In this case, I was not in charge of the TV, and I wandered in at the right moment. I stayed until it got boring again, and wandered off.

I still think that we need to have Enterprise/Quantum Leap crossover.

I'll have no plot bunnies from you! I'm still haunted by little glimpses of my X-Files/CSI/CI crossover That Can Never Be. {sigh} It's as if my muse doesn't know I have a NOVEL to finish.

Mua-ha-ha!

Like, something goes wrong in Starfleet, and... *snicker*

Mua-ha-ha!


The first time I saw it in passing, I seriously thought that was what it was.

I do believe you were mentioned in the book of Revelations. If not, you should've been. {grin}

*gets lost in joke from different religion*

[grifyn.livejournal.com]

Final book of the Bible -- lots of hellfire and damnation being wrought upon the earth, four horsemen of the apocalypse, the rapture being "called up yonder" and all the true believers going to be with God in heaven while the non-believers face years of eternal torment and torture with the devil. Or something like that.

It's not my religion, anymore, but it's awfully hard to forget that part of it.

[azurelunatic]

Ahhhh.

Y'see, all the Quaker stuff focused more on the historical aspects of it all...

[azurelunatic]

...and the being nice to other people bits.

[grifyn.livejournal.com]

I think the Quakers go about it much more sensibly. Evangelical Southern Baptists, however... well, I'm scarred for life, basically.

[azurelunatic]

I think perhaps the Quakers should invite the Southern Baptists over for tea and banana bread.

Then, the Southern Baptists would get tired of fencing with the sea.

It's probably been tried, alas. As long as there are people who fear the wrath of God and those who capitalize on it, there will always be dogma.

[azurelunatic]

And, as long as there are people with stuffy principles that they cling to over being humane to persons, they will always collect a heavy karmic load.

And you do know what the truism is for those situations.

Pretend I don't -- I haven't had breakfast yet, and my IQ is the double-digits as a result.

[azurelunatic]

Their karma ran over their dogma.
