Cue the Helicoptor

Back in the day, when I used to work wardrobe crew for theatre in NYC, I had a stage manager friend who said he always wanted to work on Miss Siagon so he could say "cue the helicopter." :D

I have finished rewatching 24 from the beginning, through to the end of the most recent season. :( What am I supposed to do now? :::panic:::

~~~

As a result of finishing 24, I watched TW's Children of Earth, finally. I figured if I ever wanted to, I'd better before VVC. Anywho, I'm very glad I spoiled myself beforehand, not because I cared all that much, but because it allowed me to be more analytical. I was gonna write comments behind a cut, but why kick a fandom while it's down. Suffice to say, I thought it was leaps and bounds better than series 1 and 2; not necessarily darker than previous, imo (TW was pretty dark to begin with, I might even say pointlessly dark); and reinforces my opinion to stay the hell away from anything and everything to do with Captain Jack Harkness.

I also finally got around to watching Hillsborough, which is about the tragedy that occurred in 1989 at Hillsborough Stadium. I remember hearing about it as a kid. Watching this soon after CoE really puts that show into perspective. Talk about tragedy brought about by human weakness and failure.

~~~

Is anyone else confusing "The Waters of Mars" with The Waters of March? Anyone? Just me? I keep singing the song each time I see a reference to "The Waters of Mars." It's quite fitting!

"A stick, a stone, it's the end of the road. It's feeling alone. It's a sliver of glass. It's life, it's the sun. It's night, it's death. It's a knife, it's a gun."

I love the Susanna McCorkle version, but there are many others.

In other news, I tried to bribe merryish into finishing my story for me. SHE REFUSED.

18,000 words so far.

*facepalm*
*drowns*

I think we might be on the homeward stretch. maybe. hopefully. My two Immortals are breaking my heart. *pets them*
