webbgirlI've decided to be an adult, have a little patience and wait for Sims 3 to be delivered in about 3 weeks. I've pre-ordered. Blah blah responsibility, blah blah.
Now, on to other obsessions...
I've figured out what my main problems are with the show/fandom right now and it's not necessarily the whole Tony/Ziva thing, but that does play into it.
1) I feel like it's SG-1 redux. Shippers of different stripes have always been able to co-habitate fairly well in this fandom. That's because the sub-text was always left at the "sub" level. We had every possible pairing and tripling one could hope for. TPTB (more specifically the advertising) have put it into a position to take that away.
2) I miss my show where the team actually liked each other and I had fun watching them. I miss the family feeling of the team. I don't want to hate Ziva. I never wanted to hate Jenny. Sadly the writers make this impossible. Ziva has turned into this character that makes it impossible to like her. Or rather, depending on which version of the character happens to show up it makes it impossible to like her. I feel like they've made her into this really weird hybrid of all of the worst aspects of Ziva and Kate all smooshed together. How fucking hard is it to hire a decent female writer for a procedural in Hollywood????
3) I'm not sure how involved I'll be in fandom discussions once the finale airs. I don't want to be pissed off and I don't feel like completely tainting myself for even old episodes. We'll see how it goes.
So the new Trek has had its first spotlight in Fandom Wank. Basically an 'old school' fan (who was born in 1982...WTF?) ranted in![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
fanficrants about all these 'teenagers' coming in and writing for ST without ever watching TOS. I actually expected something like this to happen sooner, but I know that the majority of Trek fans have been exceedingly cool about the whole thing.
And speaking of obsessed (we were speaking of my obsessions, right?), I've started re-watching Enterprise. It's reminded me of my sadness during the first go round. This series should have been the tri-fecta of sci-fi shows for me. I LOVE Scott Bakula, I'm a fan of the Trek universe overall and I have a weak spot for prequels. I gave up about mid-way through the first season because there were too many things that irritated me. I feel like I should skip it, but I have this completionist thing that kicks in when I fall in love with something.
I may also be picking through various ST novels now if anyone out there has recommendations.
My crazy, let me put it on full display for you.
And now, of to finish my BEYOND yummy sushi. OM NOM NOM!
