Pictoral Worst Fears (and more Kindred II thoughts)
First up, for a little humor, is a picture I took at lunch on Friday. Sad thing was my first thought, "Rodney would freak!"
And here's one I took about two weeks ago. It's an inside joke.
And here's one I took about two weeks ago. It's an inside joke.
And now that I've had some time to sleep on it, here are some more Kindred II thoughts:
I probably should have prefaced my last post with that I am happy they've brought Carson back. This guy is, like Rodney (and I think Leesa) said, Carson "in every way that counts".
A caveat: The only thing I'm a little disgruntled about is they made such a big deal in "This Mortal Coil" about what it is to be human, and self, and that the knowledge that you're a copy, a duplicate changes who you are. It marks you. So in that way, means we did not get the same Carson back, and that is what I'm upset about. We have Carson back (yay!), but at the same time, we have a new character, not a return of an old one. And that we were promised our Carson back, I think that's probably what gives me that feeling.
But I love Carson, and to be confusing, this Carson is Carson. He just so happens to be a Carson that did not participate in the events of Season 3. He's probably got a multitude of emotions to sort out, starting off with, if/when he comes out of stasis, he is very much stranded in the Pegasus. He'll never get to see his mother or the rest of his family, which is so sad, because I think of all the SGA characters, Carson has the closest ties to home.
And there's still so much that happened in this episode that I haven't addressed (Teyla refusing rescue; that horrible horrible scene with Michael injecting something into the baby, something that greatly disturbed my mother; Ronon and John trying to distance themselves from Carson; etc, etc etc). I think I'll have to try and address it in comments on other posts.
(And I refuse to give into the Rodney whump bunny that wants to try and whumpify that warehouse scene, and thus steal spotlight from poor Carson and Teyla. Go to bed bunny, it's not happening!) Srsly, no. Bad bunny. Not gonna happen. I mean it.

It was a lot of news to take in. I'm glad they acknowledged the trauma a little (and held prisoner for two years? Helloooo?) I'm not sure what I'm hoping for in Season 5, but I at least want to feel free to bring Carson on my fanfic adventures. Yes, yes, I know I should want him to grow and mature as a person, but what about me?
yes, I am totally shameless about self-promotion. I will force you to read my stories by annoying you with links! If nothing else, you may click on one by accident!
*snort* Nothing wrong with a little self-promotion. I'm hoping I might have a little bit of reading time this week at some point. If only to keep my sanity after going through so many CD/DVDs... maybe I ought to take a picture of that too ;)
I haven't told Mice that, because I'm afraid it might look unflattering. "No offense, but I don't like your sex scenes. Well, not your sex scenes, but any graphic sex. It's not you, it's me." Yeah, right.
Pfft, yeah, maybe a little unflattering ;) But at least you didn't descend into talking about the "wonders of eighties engineering" like one reviewer did on something I wrote. I stared at it for several minutes on end, trying to figure out if it was a joke, some very strange kind of flame, or if the person really was that passionate and serious about cars from the eighties.

Ah, but see: you're a real person. I have a secret to share with you, and it might be hard to hear, but: Carson's not a real person. Neither original nor clone-Carson is real. Very sorry to have to break it to you, but someone would, eventually, and I figured it should be a friend, rather than, say, Joe Mallozzi. :-)
I have every intention of including clone Carson in my fics just as soon as I know when and how they spring him from stasis!

I've already got one that's been circling my head since, oh, I guess last year right around this time ;) What's awesome is that there's a chance I can even somewhat squeeze it into canon now, since at it its inception it was so very very AU.
