I'm just bursting with flist love and admiration right now, because y'all are kicking some serious ass I have to say.

[livejournal.com profile] bop_radar just made the most gorgeous and nuanced Lex Luthor vid to Paranoid Android by Radiohead.

It's complex. It's intense. It's BEAUTIFUL. And it may be one of the best damn vids I've ever ever seen.

Other fandom joys of late:

It is worth mentioning the awesome multi-fandom vid by [livejournal.com profile] giandujakiss to Squeeze's Hourglass. It's all about time loops in different shows, including Buffy, SPN and SG, and it strikes a marvelous balance between humorous and poignant.

I also cracked up hard at 1) this v v serious picspam essay on intertextuality in Supernatural; 2) QoT's hilarious crack!fic RumpelGaeta; and 3) [livejournal.com profile] millari's Gaius and Gaeta epistolary catfight.

Also? My appetite for J2 AU is apparently boundless right now. Here be more recs than you can shake a stick at.

So much wow it cannot be contained.

I'm just aching and enthralled after watching this vid. It made the hairs on my arms literally stand up.

[livejournal.com profile] canadiangirl_86 + Chris Cornell + Kara Thrace = Amazing.

Fandom makes me so damn happy sometimes y'all. I love you guys.
boomqueen: (BSG - Anders is so coy and flirty)
Not such a big fan of working both Fridays and Saturdays these days. I keep being several days behind everyone else on watching/posting/commenting. Don't worry, I'll catch up eventually ;)

boomqueen: (BSG - Chief is alive with muuuusic)
Well, it only took me EIGHT MONTHS to get my act together after my last vid. Granted I finished grad school and got my 'real' job in the meantime...but STILL. Unexcusable absence from vidding!

I had the idea for this vid ages ago, but it was more like a crack!vid bunny at the time. Then S4 happened, and I finally had enough footage to support my crazy-ass idea, and it got all character-driven and achey. I want to hug my Chief even more after making this. Seriously--the man needs a hug.

Title: Ball and Chain

Comments/feedback make me do the Dance of Joy.
boomqueen: (BSG - Boom Queen ? - Kara vs Leoben)
Because [livejournal.com profile] alissabobissa is just about the awesomest thing ever to awesome, she made gorgeous and hilarious icons for FRAC: Fangirls for Recently Activated Cylons. Snag one and join the movement to support your local spoilers for recently revealed cylon identities )
boomqueen: (BSG - Chief - Gone crazy)
This episode just confused the hell out of me. It was disjointed and all over the place--split between too many different character arcs and sub-plots.

the good, the bad and the bzuh )

stuff from preview )
boomqueen: (BSG - sam/raider: identity crisis or UST)
You guys. My brain is breaking.

First there was this )

And then there was THIS )

/death by wicked tv-guide
boomqueen: (BSG - Anders & Helo - team sexy)
In which I start really shipping Kara/Anders again for the first time since Farm. Still love Lee so don't start hating on me, but I love my Sammy so damn much right now that it cannot be contained.

The Anders-is-my-homeboy bits )

The chief/Cally bits and the Cally/Tory bits )

Other random bits )
boomqueen: (BSG - Kara/Helo BFF)
In case anyone was worried about my tendencies, this episode had me back in full on Kara!girl mode. Pretty much every emotion and action was experienced in terms of how it affected her, as per usual. I still luff my Anders to pieces but he wasn't getting much screen time in this one.

Cut for squee and ponderings... )

Things I did NOT like )
boomqueen: (Kara prays)
1. Friday nights are sooooo much better than Sunday nights because I can watch and squee with buddies. Watching with buddies is sooooo much better than watching by myself!

2. Holy frakking shit that was awesome!

In conclusion, I love my show to itty bitty pieces and I'm so damn happy it's back on the air!!!
boomqueen: (Ta-Da - Veronica)
Today was royally frakked up in RL, so after work I watched five straight episodes of Supernatural, ate cookies and pizza made by the Mr, and finally settled on this new layout I made myself.

I may have also watched and rewatched this video several times to cheer myself up:

Bedtime now.
boomqueen: (Kara's tummy pwns n00bs)
Extremely urgent. Must know exactly what it is about a certain Kara mutha-frakkin Thrace that rocks your socks.

[Poll #1160188]

You can always picspam me in the comments with examples of the aforementioned awesomeness ;)
boomqueen: (Kermit freaks out)
Have to pop in and interrupt my regularly scheduled getting-ready-for-work-week program to bring you a rec for one of the most amazing fic and vid combo's ever in the history of fangirl brain-twin mind-melds:

[livejournal.com profile] super_kc wrote a truly amazing fic for the [livejournal.com profile] bsg_slashathon that explored an Anders/Duck AU on New Caprica that was beautiful and painful and believable and PERFECT.

And then [livejournal.com profile] dayln03 was inspired to make a companion vid that took all my favorite, gut-wrenching images from the fic and just added even more layers of nuance and meaning to this AU relationship. *AM NOW DED FROM TEH AWESOME*

Now I have to gush about how much I love fandom, and the sheer fucking awesomeness of brilliant and talented people who support and inspire one another to phenomenal heights of creativity, and I LOVE EVERYONE. YOU ARE ALL AMAZING.

That is all.

Vid recs from the last couple of months:

I know/hope that BSG fandom will be exploding with a bunch of new vids now that the S3 discs are out, so I figured I should weigh in on some of my recent favorites before then.

BSG vids )

SPN vids )

Other fandoms and multi-fandom ones )

So, now that we've established that I only really like vids with mountains of action/angst or that are 100% fluffy/crackalicious, and that I tend to prefer song choices that are loud and angry or silly and dancey...anyone wanna rec me some awesome vids? Doesn't matter if they're not one of my favorite fandoms, I watch outside of my fandoms all the time :)
boomqueen: (Drunk happens - Jin)
[livejournal.com profile] ack_attack has made a picspam introducing the characters of Lost and Battlestar Galactica to each other, and pairing future BFFs and drinking buddies up according to temperament and personal history.

It's beyond hilarious. Go Read It Now.

That is all.

ETA: cannot contain the squee about Joss's new project (in addition to Dollhouse and the comics)!
boomqueen: (Lee pines for K (BSG))
Jo just posted the most amazing and highly pretty vid here.

It's a beautiful look at every sacrifice and hard choice Lee has had to make in the military. All teasing about Leemo aside, this vid really does him justice. It's gorgeous and damn good character meta too.

Also, I want to have sex with Chris Cornell's voice, so the, um, music selection wasn't half-bad either... ;)
boomqueen: (Boom Queen ? - Kara vs Nuggets)
I know everyone has probably seen most of the new season 4 promo pictures by now, but I couldn't help myself: the pictures of Kara are just TOO DAMN GORGEOUS and my girl damn well frakking deserves her own picspam to celebrate the occasion.

Kara > you )

Can't help but mention the continued hotness of my OT3 altogether )

All of these are snagged from [livejournal.com profile] dryope's hi-res originals.
boomqueen: (J2 - love and smirks)
Not sure what is happening to my brain here. At least the fangirl part of it. I have been readings GOBS AND GOBS of loooooong AU J2 fics and discovering so many bloody amazing writers in SPN/J2 fandom. I'm a big fan of all kinds of pairings so I'm usually more varied in my reading (het, femslash, slash, it's all good!) but this is by far and away the most time I've spent reading nothing but slash. And it's so damn good y'all.

New favorite authors this week are [livejournal.com profile] katjad, [livejournal.com profile] veronamay, and [livejournal.com profile] audrarose.
New favorite comms are [livejournal.com profile] fluffandfold and [livejournal.com profile] abouttwoboys.
The latter of those two is all romantic comedy remakes with Jensen/Jared as the lead couple. The remake of Can't Buy Me Love by [livejournal.com profile] lostt1 was made of win.
My whole damn del.icio.us rec list is just filling up with more and more amazing fic every day!

I know that most of the BSGers on my flist could give a shit about spn/j2 so I'm keeping my squee to a minimum, but SERIOUSLY. There is nothing quite like diving head first into an amazingly prolific and talented fandom. I'm just about bursting with love for all my fellow fangirls.

***

And, on a different note, I am so frakking excited to get my S3 DVDs in a few weeks!!!

Not to mention, MARCH 28TH!!! I'm so excited to see season 4!
