NCIS+NCIS:LA DVDs

Both shows will be released on August 23rd and both box arts look really good - I especially love NCIS:LA's because it's a step up from last year's that looked a bit... well... cartoon-ish?





( NCIS:LA S1 box art for comparison, both the US and the UK version - I prefer the UK one! )

What just happened?

OMG, peeps, I just fic'd! As in, I actually wrote a fanfic. Of 1.000 words. For 1stclass_kink, the X-Men: First Class fic meme. Even though I haven't actually seen the movie yet (illegal copies from the net don't count, so hush!). Because I love the Erik/Charles pairing so much. And I posted it there. Anonymously, of course. And unbeta'd. Yowza! I can't remember the last time I actually wrote a fanfic. That's... mind-blowing XD

Quote of the day!

This made me LOL, seriously:

It was Cadderly who had first made a pet of a wild animal, a white squirrel he had named Percival, of all things. Taking that cue, Pikel had become rather famous for the friends he had made (infamous to Ivan, who thought the whole thing quite embarrassing) at the Spirit Soaring cathedral, particularly among Cadderly and Danica’s children. To date, those friends included a great eagle, a pair of bald-headed vultures, a weasel family, three chickens, and a stubborn donkey named Bobo.

Top 10 Resurrections:

#9 Daniel Jackson:

As any Stargate SG-1 fan knows, nobody on the show died quite as many times as Michael Shanks’ Daniel Jackson – hell, he even died in the original movie, too, back when he was played by James Spader. Whether being shot by evil Goa’uld or succumbing to radiation poisoning, Jackson had an uncanny habit of shuffling off this mortal coil and then returning bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as though nothing had happened.

It became such a running joke on the series that eventually the writers made a point of mocking his many deaths and rebirths, in the form of this rant from Colonel O’Neill after Jackson’s latest apparent demise:

“All we know for sure is that he’s missing. Forget it! I’m not falling for it this time! How many times have you thought he was gone? And then he shows up, in one form or another. I’m sorry, but we’re not having a memorial service for someone who is not dead. You hear that? I’M NOT BUYING IT! He’s just waiting for us to say a bunch of nice things about him. Next thing you know, he’ll come waltzing through that door!”

And he was right, you know. Not dead.

#1 The Winchesters

Let’s face it, the Winchester family are the undisputed kings of coming back from the dead. You just can’t argue with statistics: in one episode alone, Dean Winchester died over a hundred times after being stuck in a deadly time loop (favourite methods of death: being mauled by a golden retriever and choking on a sausage).

The brothers have not only visited Heaven several times over (though they’re only allowed to remember their latest trip there, seeing as that was a fact-finding mission) but they’ve also spent years in Hell, done deals with demons to reanimate each other and actually killed themselves to wander around as ghosts or even talk to Death. They’ve messed with the laws of the universe so much that the universe, quite rightly, is a bit pissed off about it, and Death is starting to get rather narked.

Probably the best resurrection we’ve ever seen on the show came at the start of season four when Dean fought his way out of his own grave, but hey, we’re sure there will be more Winchesters-back-from-death adventures before we know it. Seriously, these guys just won’t stay dead.

LOL! I seriously rolled on the floor, laughing my butt off, reading those bolded parts. For real. OMG! "Bright-eyed and bushy-tailed" - LOL!
