Mr. Gibbs: The kid's a bit of a stick, isn't he? Jack Sparrow: You have no idea.

In other news, I've watched half of series 2 Life On Mars and I luuuvvss it, yes.

-- This was me for the first three episodes of Series 2: OMG GIBBS! Gibbs! *waves* Hi Gibbs! OMG Hiiiiiii! What are you doing in my surreal 70s buddy cop show?? HI GIBBS, WHERE BE YOUR SEA TURTLES, MATE? WHERE IS CAPTAIN JACK, WHERE'S THE RUM??

-- I *loved* the episode where Sam and Annie had to go undercover as a married couple at the Creepy Swingers' party. Sam busting in on Annie weilding a whip! priceless.

-- Also loved the episode where Sam has that weird drug overdose and he's stuck in a deeper coma and can only watch through a TV. Bizarre.

-- So, no offense to any Ray fans out there, but he's the one character I can't stand on this show.

-- Still love Gene, still wouldn't want him anywhere near me. But I truly appreciate him as a character: nicely complex, not simple, not defined by any one characteristic, capable of compassion, a man who doesn't bend except for when he bends. It's great.

-- Love the Gene Hunt/Sam Tyler dynamic, but I think I'm a Sam/Annie girl. <3 <3 <3

I leave you with some Gibbisms.

Jack Sparrow: Mr. Gibbs.
Gibbs: Captain.
Jack Sparrow: We have a need to travel upriver.
Gibbs: By "need," do you mean a trifling need? Fleeting? As in, say, a passing fancy?
Jack Sparrow: No, a resolute and unyielding need.

Gibbs: Come on, lads! Lift it like a lady's skirt!

Gibbs: Well, slap me thrice and hand me to me mama!

Gibbs: Look alive, men! It's not for naught it's called Shipwreck Island where lie Shipwreck Cove in the town of Shipwreck.

d'oh, forgot the footnote:

Good luck with that Yuletide choice. You're braver than I am.

Gibbs = LOVE.

Life on Mars (UK) is not eligible for Yuletide - waaaay too big a fandom. (But Ashes to Ashes is, I'd bet, so hmm, I might need to nominate that). Life on Mars (US) would be, but who cares about that one, says I.

(SAM/ANNIE!!!)

There was some Flight of the Conchords fic last Yuletide, and it was great. If you're a betting woman, I'd bet it's already been nominated, so you don't need to use a spot for it. That said, if it then doesn't show up in the final list and you really wanted it, you'll feel bad, so, ymmv on using up spots.

Yuletide! I did provisional noms but need to go back and add Cherry Ames (omg I luff her) and now maybe Ashes to Ashes, hrm. Need a solid half hour to sit and think about it!

Dang! I didn't realize it was big. And woe I have not seen Ashes to Ashes yet. *pout*

Trufax. And one of them was my gift, actually, so I'm less in need for Flight of the Conchords fic than previous.

There are a few on the list I can knock off due to very high liklihood of other people nominating. *peers at list*

HM. THIS IS DIFFICULT.

Eyes! OMG, if there were some good Eyes stories in Yuletide, that would be fantastic!

[hafital.livejournal.com]

I've requested it every year! One day, it will happen.

I'm nominating Deadwood in another window...if that helps you any. I hope someone else covers Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, as that was one of the ones to be sacrificed to the final list.

I put in for Mansfield Park.
