The Coffee Represents My Anguish.

Stolen from [livejournal.com profile] squeemu:

Comment to this post with an idea for a Top Five list (for example, Five Cars With Which Jeremy Clarkson Has Had Torrid Love Affairs, or Five Times Nida Saved the World and Nobody Noticed, or Five Cases Watson Decided, On Balance, Not To Publish). Then, in a separate post in reply to your comment, I will compile the requested list, according to me. Multiple requests are welcomed.

I've concluded that I don't love Torchwood. I enjoy watching it, but I don't love it, and if it didn't get another series I wouldn't shed a tear. Alas.

Actually I can see The Exorcist... *imagines Hammond's head doing 360...* ;)

The Braniac one is GLORIOUS.

It's practically a regular episode.

Heee!

1. Alice in Wonderland. Damn you.

*giggles* I thought it worked quite well, actually... ;)

Hee, thanks hon, that's a hoot!

There's an audience for Top Gear apocafic?

*nods* These snippits are hillarious! Might I ask, are you a fan of Good Omens, by any chance? :)

This meme = glee!

Torchwood really is a bit awful, isn't it? Such a shame. And there was such potential, woe! I haven't seen the latest one, but it is - according to my Classics teacher who is somehow even more crazy and fannish than me - a complete rip-off in every way of a BTVS episode called 'Earshot', but ten times worse, and with added gratuitous lesbianism. (Though, having said that, pretty much every Torchwood rips off something, and with a distinct lack of skill. HONESTLY.)

Yeah. I always read your Torchwood review posts, and I'm always left thinking "Man, Riona needs to start, watching BTVS, like, now." And so this is why, henceforth, it is my new evil mission to get you fannish about it. And given my track record, I will SUCCEED, AND GO ON TO GAIN COMPLETE CONTROL OF YOUR BRAIN. Erm, hopefully. BUT YES, seriously, even if you are not impressed so far, you will be. Because in spite of the cheesiness and the slight rubbishness (which TW has anyway) it is THREE BILLION TIMES MORE BRILLIANT and has the rather vital element which Torchwood lacks... but I can't quite seem to place. It's just not loveable, I think? I don't particularly care for the characters (even Jack OMG SORROW) and there is no way in hell I could obsess about it. It doesn't suck you in like other shows do. Alas. They should have hired the Life On Mars writers to do it, or something. Talking of which omg series two in January FLAIL!

LA LA LA OK I AM BLABBERING. But yes. You are now fully aware of my diabolical scheming. Also? Five Times House Actually Paid Wilson A Compliment, With Or Without The Intention Of Doing So.

5. Oh, oh, my heart. THEY ARE HAPPY! AND ADORABLE! And there was a time James didn't know how to fire a gun! This is just heart breaking, because of what happens in the game.

4. ARGH PYRAMID HEAD

3. ...HOLY -- ...crap, James, you are so crazy.

2. AUGH. "Mary (or was it Maria?)" is terrible and you are awesome.

1. *ROFL* A week later, Jeremy gets a note in the mail: "Meet me in our 'special place.' Love, the Cessna." The handwriting looked suspiciously familiar.

Have I told you recently how hilarious you are? Because, you know, you are.

AUGH. AUGH. AUGH.

re: #5 - Hee, awww. STOP BEING ADORABLE, IT IS VERY UPSETTING.

re: all the others - AUGH

P.S. THIS MEANS YOU ARE AWESOME

Surely the combination of the Brainiac team and Top Gear would just result in a bitch fight over who owned Hammond?

As for 1984 (which I first read in that year, yes I am that old)... Clarkson shut in a room with lots of caravans in front of him yelling "Do it to May! Do it to Hammond!" would be worth anything. Except for the fact that he doesn't need Room 101 to make him say stuff like that already.

2. When the monster that had been Mary (or was it Maria?) was lying on its strange bedlike frame and he couldn't bring himself to shoot her, so he stood there, gripping the gun, and listened to her saying "James... James... James..." over and over again for ever.

Oh. That's.

Oh.

(Secretly I think it is brilliant. Still.

Oh, James.)

Do you mind if I join you in trying to get her to watch BtVS? Because The Mayor is totally worth any amount of nagging.

AFHDSFHD OMG YES. I AM SO GLAD TO SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO LOVES HIM TO DEATH. (I completely cannot blame Faith. I just want to give him a hug!)

"The Diary of Anne Frank. Because nothing should be crossed over with The Diary of Anne Frank. It's a copout, I know."

There exists a Dragonball Z crossover with this AND I DON'T KNOW WHY.

And then we can get her to do Buffy/Top Gear crossovers!

Also, I'll bet she'll like Giles more than the Mayor because Giles > Mayor.

And was Earshot the one where Buffy went 'OMG MOM you slept with Giles? TWICE? AND IT WAS GOOD?' because that was brilliant.

Yes. Awesome. (I sort of want to give Faith a hug too, though, as dead as I would end up.)

I love you. Lots and lots.

3 made me ridiculously happy. There are puppets! With velcro! And they're holding haaaaaaaands.

I love this liek woah. God, they'd really make a horrible couple, wouldn't they. (No equality at all.)

You need to write more Scrubs. When you do, it makes me so very, very happy.

(I think half the fun of those two is knowing it would never, ever work out--but even if they only lasted a day, that day would be hilarious. They may be the only commonly-slashed pair in fandom chosen entirely upon how funny it would be)
