Hello dead weekend livejournal! I have kind of invented a meme. Well, "invented" is probably a strong word, I'd be super surprised if something like this has never ever been done before. But it's a kind of um, experiment to see how much information we accidentally pick up from reading our friendslist, but that makes it sound lame, and I THINK IT WILL BE LULZY TOO.

ANYWAY: what I want you to do is name a show I don't watch (if you want me to list the things I do like I will, but I think most of you have a decent idea of what I'm into and if you don't it's pretty well outlined in my interests -- OH, except for Psych, that's... recent and I've now seen enough that it would be cheating) and I will try to describe it to you (looking things up is obviously cheating, it's a test to see what random things have been picked up).

I'm actually equally (almost more?) enthused about the idea of feeding people shows though, so if you're bored too you should totally play on your own.

Queen of Swords! :D If you watched it I would be very surprised.

Hmm, how about Life? But I don't think there's much of a fandom. If you can't think of anything than let's go with Merlin.

THIS SOUNDS FUN! Um, Life on Mars (either the UK or the US one, I think they're both the same premise)?

OKAY SO THERE'S A GIRL. And she is a master swordsfighter. And probably kicks a lot of ass.

(I SERIOUSLY HAVEN'T HEARD OF THAT EVER :( Is it a film? I know nothing about films. It kind of sounds like a fantasy bookseries too, though?)

Not a show, but Twilight

I CAN DO LIFE. Um so there's a detective named Charlie Crews who was... put in jail for I think murder? That he did not commit. And somehow his innocence is proven, and he gets really rich off this and... rejoins the police. His partner's name is Dani and she is goooorgeous. THEY SOLVE CRIMES. Also doesn't he um, live with some dude?

This season apparently Dani has gotten hot in a bad way that is detrimental to her characterization and hooked up with some guy no one likes.

DING DING DING!

(It's a tv show from 2000 that was essentially a genderswapped Zorro. The lead was a gorgeous noblelady named Tessa who, when she wasn't RIGHTING WRONGS and BATTLING CORRUPTION and ENGAGING IN SWORDFIGHTS WITH CORPORALS, was having a lot of UST with the town doctor, who was played by Methos from the Highlander show. It was cheesy as hell and I loved it. :D)

Battlestar Galactica! I feel like this would be amusing.

Okaaaaaaay, um... some guy, who I guess was already some kind of police detective, gets thrown back in time to the 50s or 60s or 70s or something? (WAIT... in the spinoff it's the 80s, isn't it? And the Gene Hunt character is in both... so it must be the 70s. HA, deductive reasoning!) Anyway back in time things are very different and the police follow rules less. And... they have adventures! And since the show ended I guess he got sent back to the future eventually.

THAT SOUNDS HYSTERICAL AND WONDERFUL. How many episodes were there?

I was about to say the same show XD.

I can do this one! In the first book Bella Swan moves to Forks, WA which is in the middle of nowhere. There's... something with her parents, I don't know. They're separated. She is special and everyone knows it. Edward is sparkly and apparently kind of enjoyably sarcastic in the first book and they fall in love. He... lives with a lot of other vampires. They're all immortal. Um. Yes. Oh! Edward likes to watch her sleep.

The second book may as well not exist for all I know about it.

In the third book Bella is torn between Edward and Jacob. I think both of them have been accused of in some way forcing themselves on her (idk if I mean emotionally or physically). There are a lot of shipping wars.

In the fourth book Edward and Bella get married, have sex and she gets pregnant and Edward has some self-loathing stuff because like... the baby is going to kill Bella or something? But I guess she becomes a vampire and that... saves her, I don't know. This dilutes the point of the books because the idea was that if she became a vampire, she would never be able to reproduce or live her life? But this way she gets both. Um, I think there's some kind of vampire and werewolf war that ends in an anticlimatic way and... they name the baby Renesmee. Jacob "imprints" on the infant, which is somehow icky and implies she's his soulmate or something?

THAT WAS KIND OF A LOT!

GOOD JOB!!! You got everything right!

YOUR SCULLY ICON IS GORGEOUS, FIRST OF ALL.

So basically on Battlestar Galactica, on some point the human race moved to this planet called Caprica and invented robots they called Cylons. Something dire happens to Caprica that I guess involves the cylons, since they're... the enemy and all. Anywaaaaay um. Laura Roslin gets elected president, I think she was a schoolteacher? And everyone flees to earth on spaceships. Somewhere in there there are hidden human cylons, one of which marries the guy named Helo. Kara is nicknamed Starbuck for whatever reason and she's a pilot, and she... has a lot of affairs. Actually I think basically there's a whole lot of sex all around. Um. Baltar has hallucinations of a really pretty blonde. Wasn't earth like dead and gone, and that was the most recent cliffhanger?

Adama and Roslin probably had some disagreements in the beginning because I've seen them likened to Janeway and Chakotay, but now they're having sex.

...I THOUGHT I MIGHT HAVE MORE THAN THAT, BUT N.

OKAY THIS DOESN'T REALLY COUNT SO I DIDN'T SAY IT BEFORE BUT NOW I THINK I WILL: Jamie Bamber is fine male specimen, and I am depressingly attracted to him. (http://innerjoejoe.files.wordpress.com/2007/04/jamie_bamber_03.jpg)

IT WAS! I... have no idea. :D:

There are dinosaurs.

i played this game once! (http://anna-bo-banna.livejournal.com/195152.html) i rock at it.

DOCTOR WHO.

YOU TOOK A THIRD OF MY ANSWER. I was going to say "there are dinosaurs! And temporal anomalies! And scientists!" because sadly that is all I've got :(

I KNEW I COULDN'T'VE ACTUALLY MADE IT UP. Ha, you did that before you watched Doctor Who.

The Doctor is an alien from some other planet who time travels in a telephone box for... some reason. He sheds his face and body sometimes for... reasons unknown to me, but what a clever way to keep an idea going without having to keep the same actors. For some reason he also picks companions, which... I think have always been female.

Anyway the most recent resurrection starts with Nine and Rose. I think there's something to do with a war...? They have a season and then Nine... goes and she ends up with Ten, which is apparently the epic half of the love story, although I thiiiiink there's something with Nine and Rose too. I might be wrong. Anyway they continue doing... whatever they do on Doctor Who until for some reason Rose leaves, and it is tragic, and Ten ends up with Martha. Who is ridiculously gorgeous and also in love with him, but he's torn up over rose? And then she leaves too and the next one is Donna, who... is some kind of bride? I might be making that part up? ANYWAY, that season ended with her memory getting wiped, Rose getting a doctor clone, and Martha being there. Also there is some guy who is the Master who fits in in some strange way. And then there is Jack, who spins off into Torchwood. Oh wait wasn't he a companion? I recind my earlier statement about all the companions being female.

haha, very good!

Anyway they continue doing... whatever they do on Doctor Who

SAVING THE WORLD.

veronica mars?

can i ask about moaaar?

Veronica Mars is about a plucky girl detective whose best friend has died. And um, her best friend was somehow involved with Logan, who is a douche but ends up falling in love with her/having a soft side. Um, I think Veronica gets raped? Either at the beginning or in season three. I also think Logan's dad is abusive. And... something involving Veronica's mother. Who is possibly dead. :D?

Of cooooourse you can!

House! Because BSG was taken, lol.

Spot on.

And yeah, Dani totally "got hot" and everybody's pissed. But me? I'm just enjoying the pretty.

OKAY SO DR. GREGORY HOUSE IS SOME KIND OF MEDICAL GENIUS. He's also an asshole and he has a cane. Cuddy is his boss, Foreman, Chase, and Cameron are like... his "ducklings"? I think they're residents. I don't know how Wilson (I will always think of RSL as Claudio) fits in, but... he does. Anyway they solve medical mysteries together. And... now there are new "ducklings"? Including Olivia Wilde? Last season Wilson had a girlfriend played by that one girl Ted dumped twice on her birthday, but she died. Anyway now House and Cuddy are on the verge of something, and there is a baby named Joy or... something.
