So, to spare you all, this is going to be behind a cut. Basically, this is going to be me rambling about the shows that I like, and ensembles. The ones that work, the ones that don't; why they work and when they don't. Mainly, these shows are ensemble or focus on two characters.

Shows discussed ,even if only briefly: Andromeda, Babylon 5, Battlestar Galactica, Castle, Criminal Minds, Dark Angel, due South, Firefly, Jonathan Creek, Leverage, Numb3rs, Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, Star Trek (all of them ;)), Torchwood, Xena


(note before hand - added now, because I have actually reread - and am paranoid, and don't want this meta/ramble to sound all knowing - it's all my opinion, and what works for me - I know a lot of things don't work for me, but work for other people and vice versa - I am reminded of that a lot when watching stuff with my family.
So, what I say under the cut? It's all my opinion, on what works for me - I may be wrong, you might disagree with me, and that's fine. I just wanted to put this out there. Feel free to throw things at me if you disagree.)

Title: No Grand Arena [masterpost]
Author: [livejournal.com profile] weaselett
Prompt: Serenity
Pairings: Jack/Ianto, Gwen/Rhys, slight Owen/Tosh
Rating: PG-13
Warnings: Some mention of injury, minor character death and some mild swear words.
Spoilers: No real spoilers for Torchwood, but many for Serenity - characters from all three series of Torchwood appear
Disclaimer: I own neither Torchwood nor Serenity they belong to their respective owners
Word Count: c.14,600
Summary: Jack Harkness had something that the Alliance wants.
Author's Notes: Beta'd by the lovely [livejournal.com profile] charlies_dragon - I did two fics for [livejournal.com profile] reel_torchwood (of which this is the second), and went with two completely different approaches. In this case I pretty much took the script of Serenity and dumped the Torchwood lot, with some Doctor Who guests, into it *g* (feel free to call me a lazy ass - or you know - give concrit)- [livejournal.com profile] charlies_dragon says it's a fushion (*bows to superior* ;)) - I do also however intend, at some point in the next month or so, to post the alternate fic (set in canon Torchwood verse) which I knew I would never be able to finish in time.
Also, I love the Serenity script book ;)

Ok - so after the last few weeks (it's been that long *wow*) with RTD stuff and the beginning of the SGU promo stuff (oh, SG verse producers/writers, your fail in public amuses me so, you win at offending fans, congrats) I have decided to share some favourite TV shows, that as they have now finished, are awesome and will not bite you in the ass.


due South

If you never watched this show? You missed so so much awesome (ok, so i have mixed feelings on season 3/4, but it has some kick ass moments so I forgive.) If you haven't seen and can't find on the net, I offer my DVDs (though, if I don't get them back? I am hunting you down)

Also, a side note, due South was driven by fans, it only got picked up again each year because of it's fans (in the end it was funded by the Biritsh and French). That said, it never, that I know, folded to fan pressure. Partly because it was a different time.

top ten reasons to watch this show )

Firefly

Yeah, I know, pretty much everyone has seen Firefyl haven't they? It still stands though.
For me it beats out Angel and Buffy, it beats Dollhouse as well.

If you haven't seen this show? You need to find someone with the DVDs. If the pilot doesn't grab you? Watch 'Jaynestown'.

Top five reason why you should watch Firefly )

Other shows that I love:
Dark Angel - It was only two season and they were two very different seasons in tone, but it was good. Stand out episodes: Hit a Sista Back, The Berrisford Agenda, Borrowed Time



Shows I would love to include in this list:
Tru Calling, it has some brilliant moments, but anyone who has seen the six episodes of season two that exist? You will know why I don't often point people to it. You're given so many questions, so much interesting and you never get answers. Damn fox.

Castle, but season two has yet to air so I can't promise no ass biting. *g*. Season One, however, is worth a ook, if you like humour and crime drama, this may be your show. Plus bonus: good strong female characters and Nathan Fillion.


If you have any shows you want to point me to - point away - I'm always intersted in new shiny things :)
