Further** on the subject of my previous entry, a comment from a slightly scary Apollo/Starbuck mailing list that I amusetorture myself with:

Amid all the angst of the rounds of spoilers and actresses who are almost as deluded as the character they play, (I love Katee, I just think she's wrong about some things) this was a breath of fresh L/K air.

(Emphasis mine.) Um, no comment on the fic this was "reviewing." (It's not quite bad enough to snark on awfulbgfic, unless I'm feeling particularly snippy.)

What is it about shippers that makes them so insane? Anyone? Bueller?

And, um, anyone here think Kara is "deluded?"




*Someone said that either here on LJ or on GAFF, I forget which, but I liked it.
**This is mostly just an opportunity to show off a new icon.

So, is it just me, or is it weird that there are fan fiction writers who think that they understand a character - specifically, Kara Thrace - better than the actor who plays her? Because I find it really odd when I read a fanfic writer saying, "[Sackhoff] and I don't see eye to eye on the character of Starbuck..."

Also, I was amused by this comment: "Katee Sackhoff doesn't seem to understand her character's romantic motivations at.all." (from here). But then, shippers are ... an interesting breed.

1. It is entirely unfair that cats do not have to do laundry.

2. However, giving kitty a ride in the dryer does not make up for this.

3. Sticking your hand into an elevator door to stop it from closing is a Bad Idea.

4. However, the nail on my middle finger is now an amazing shade of blue.

5. There are entirely too many squeeing women in the world who think that Jamie Bamber is TEH HAWT!!111!!1!!

6. Worse, too many of them write bad fan fiction.

7. Even worse, some of them make posts with titles like "Bam Bam Piccie Spam."

8. On the other hand, it makes a convenient emetic.
