Oh, all right TSCC, but your fandom has a tragic lack Agent Ellison icons.

[beccatoria]

Oh, all right. I still don't love it like burning, but when you start getting vid bunnies (even if they're the ones you're trying to ignore), it's time to call it quits and get an icon.

Plus there's the fact that I appear to be developing a rather large crush on Agent Ellison. It's somewhat embarassing. But not quite as embarassing as the time I realised I fancied Sam Anders. (Yes, I always get embarassed about having crushes on people; I go through denial, then bargaining, then acceptance. No, I'm not sure why either).

But seriously, where are all the Agent Ellison icons? Am I going to be forced to accept that NOT everyone thinks the show should be all about him, and perhaps Sarah? And that every episode ought to feature them having angsty conversations and nuanced portrayals of faith and robots?

I looked for like a whole THIRTY MINUTES and I only found two, and the other one was kinda crappy. It could have been worse, I could have been looking for Shirely Manson Catherine Weaver icons. There weren't any of those. But that's okay cus I don't really like her. Whereas:

AGENT ELLISON, DAMMIT! HE DOES AWESOME THINGS LIKE TEACH ROBOTS ABOUT GOD BECAUSE THAT ALWAYS LEADS TO PEACE AND HARMONY, AMIRITE?

And...there wasn't really any point to this post. Like, at all.

Also: I have inexplicably finished that fic I started about six months ago (where Natalie was alive and stuff), and I'm not really sure how that happened or how it got to be so long. I've become comfortable with being a fanvidder but I still feel odd about writing fiction like this that's not, like, as a result of a prompt or something. Which I'd try to explain but I already established I get embarassed and awkward about the stupidest stuff. So, my goal is to get it beta'd and such by the time the new series starts so it can invalidate it all. GO ME!

Also: Happy New Year to all you suckers who have to wait an extra 9 - 17ish hours for 2009!

Also: I am reading the script for the Caprica pilot. I am, so far, supremely unimpressed but I'm not that far through with it yet. It could redeem itself. More news as it breaks.

This is my only SCC icon and I made it three days after I saw the first episode. :)

I need to watch season two. The finale moment of season one is one of my favourite musical montages of all time.

Your love of Ellison is cute. He's one of my least favorite parts for me, mainly because he seems too trusting and willing to do what he's told.

Weee! fic!

To be honest, I'm not looking forward to Caprica either. I don't know if I'm going to watch it. I probably will because BSG in any form is BSG.

OMG I LOVE AGENT ELLISON SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sort of just YES to all of this! The show should totally be about him, and maybe Sarah (and, um, I could totally ship them--IJS), and he is so unfairly neglected!!!!! I did find this icon (by sweet_disdain), which is not fabulous but works for me. I'd like sharper colors, and maybe a less straightforward crop, but I'm all about closeups in my icons right now for some reason. (Yet I have no interest in learning to make them myself...). But the thing that's really annoying me is that there seems to be absolutely no Ellison fic AT ALL. I'm planning to rectify this in the new year because OMG ELLISON!!!!!!!!!

Don't be embarrassed! He needs more love! :D

So. Where did you look for Agent Ellison icons? 'Cause if nothing else, you could raid my friend cisaac's userpics for 'em. And I have a couple that I've made - just look in my tags for "my icons." :)

Heeee... I discovered BSG a year ago but I got into the fandom recently and... that's definitely weird: now I feel like I want to write fanfiction (I've never read a fic before in my entire life), and make vids and, OMG! I think I have a sort of crush with a fictional character!!!*_* (Kara, by the way, I'm the Kara/Lee shipper type of fan, I guess :-)). Well, like I told you... that is weird :D

IAlso: I am reading the script for the Caprica pilot. I am, so far, supremely unimpressed.

Oh, please, let us know what you think about it... I'm not looking forward to "Caprica", by the way... but I think I'll watch it because I don't know what I'm going to do without my "Battlestar" :-)

And Happy New Year for you, too!

Personally I find Ellison to be totally blah and do not understand all the love fandom apparently has for him. The super religious and moral black man thing just does not do it for me. :/

[asta77.livejournal.com]

Cameron still remains my favorite character, but I'm growing fonder of Ellison with each episode. Catherine would be my least favorite and John I find rather 'meh', but, like BSG, I don't actively hate any character.

I'm skipping reading the Caprica script because I'm fearing disappointment. In fairness, I wasn't blown away by the BSG mini so it's possible the series could end up being better. Still, given feelings on prequels in general and worries about retconning I'm not very enthused about the project...as you know. ;)

There are a few of Ellison and Weaver here http://community.livejournal.com/zeskimo/tag/tv:+the+sarah+connor+chronicles

Yay Agent Ellison!

[hmpf.livejournal.com]

I'm always afraid they'll kill him eventually, but then I tell myself, no, he's the only black character, if they kill him it'd look like racism.

TSSC... I don't love it with a burning passion, either, but I'm enjoying it. I think that's the right word. It engages me enough to want to watch the next ep, and check out the occasional vid (I recommend LithiumDoll's "Human Behaviour" and, err, a totally amazing vid by, I think, kiki_miserichick, whose title I have forgotten - it's a song by Laura Veirs. There's also a pretty nice one called 'Paris Is Burning' by I don't know who. They're all in the tags at vidding, I think.)

I suspect that if I allowed myself to think more about it, the show would annoy me, but I'm watching it very much like 'normal' people watch TV, without thinking too much about it. I've always had a weak spot for the Terminator universe, but in a 'guilty pleasure' kind of way, and I'm comfortable adding another version of Terminator to the guilty pleasure vault of my brain, where all the stuff that requires a healthy dose of suspension of disbelief is stored. *g*
