Bryan Fuller is trying to get a new Star Trek series off the ground. By the way, does anyone know if there’s an LJ feed for Den Of Geeks articles? I know there are ones for Cracked.com, Io9 and Sci-Fi Wire, but I haven’t heard about one for Den Of Geeks.

For the Supernatural fans on my friends list, there’s a new Smart Pop essay book that focuses on the show.

Found via [community profile] doctorwho: a Dalek was found at the bottom of a lake.

And prompts are now open for claiming over at [community profile] lgbtfest--which I only just heard of today, I believe. The fandoms include the Buffyverse, Life on Mars, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Firefly, Highlander, and a ton of others.

1) Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me!"
2) I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3) You will post the answers to the questions (and the questions themselves) on your blog or journal.
4) You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5) When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. And thus the endless cycle of the meme goes on and on and on and on...


Questions from [personal profile] oszras

1. You are a distinguished fiction writer, selling millions of books and loved by all. What is the genre you write in? (mystery, romance, horror, sci-fi, fantasy etc.)

Probably science fiction.

2. You get to be the main character in any book (and live their life in the book) you've read. Who is it?

Mina Harker—for some reason, she was the first one I thought of, despite her not really being the main character of Dracula.

3. For the rest of your life you will have one song stuck in your head. What is it?

We Didn’t Start The Fire—that’s the first thing to pop into my head that I wouldn’t mind having stuck there.

4. There has been a Zombie attack! Who is the first person you can think of to fight Zombie's by your side?

The Doctor! Hopefully his sonic screwdriver can save us—if not, we escape in the TARDIS. Maybe grab a Dalek from another time, set them in front of the zombies, and see if they can be exterminated. If not, flee again. If Torchwood's able to stop them and not make things any worse, then it's a freakish miracle.

5. You are a Greek God(dess). Who is it?

Maybe one of the muses, rather than a goddess? If it had to be a goddess, though, I might pick Athena.

To clean-up after the whole ice storm, the city is finally sending workers from out of town to go to each street and start taking away all the limbs and chop down any remaining trees that need it. They just got to our street, and they have a giant crane for picking up those limbs and putting them into a dump truck.

Looks like they’re at Nellie’s house now (previous workers she hired only cut the limbs that were hanging and dumped them in her ditch) and they're dragging the limbs that were laying in the ditch away.

ETA: Wow. They filled that dump truck to the very brim, and drove off to dump it--there were even giant logs in the middle of all the branches. And there's still a ton of branches in her ditch. They said they need another truck for this situation, but they will return.
