Fannish Items of Interest

[calliopes_pen]

Saturn 3 is reportedly getting a remake, and so is Yellow Submarine…and Dirty Dancing. I was about to ask whether or not they had already made a sequel, but the article I’m linking to confirms they did. And nobody watched it, either.

Here’s something interesting. A shrine to a certain Torchwood character has been set up outside a door that’s used for Torchwood. If you haven’t already seen Children of Earth, you will be spoiled.

Dirt-Cheap Aliens Who Still Look Awesome. The Daleks are #10 on the list. #2 happens to be the 456 from Torchwood.

Warehouse 13 has apparently been picked up for another season by the Syfy Channel, with the potential for later seasons to be longer. I haven’t tried this one yet—is it worth watching? And on that note, is Eureka good? I’ve just recently watched the last two episodes of the current season, and wondered if it was worth watching earlier ones.

And, lastly, the Rahne and Illyana PB poll will be closing at the beginning of next week. Probably Monday evening or Tuesday morning. If you haven’t already (and last I looked, nobody had) voted, please do so here.

i love the card from jack - he dots his i's with hearts as well. it's all i'd ever want in a memorial shrine.

Aww. A Ianto shrine. ♥

I was actually really surprised that Warehouse 13 was renewed. It's fluffy, summer crap, and I've pretty much lost interest in it. Very much in the 'meh' category.

I would like to respectfully disagree with the above poster. However, I'm not very good at being respectful, so I will leave you with this:

Warehouse 13 is awesome.

*seconding this* I will say my reaction to the first episode I saw was "dude, this is so cheesy" but it grew on me pretty quickly. If you've ever seen The Librarian movies with Noah Wyle, it reminds me of those a little bit (though the Librarian has better production values). You should give it a try, at least for a couple of episodes.

Yes! That is exactly what it is like! Thank you for pinning it down for me!

As I loved The Librarian movies, I'll give it a shot, in that case.

Warehouse 13 is one of those "on in the background" shows - I find it vaguely amusing, enough to have it on in the background, but not enough to pay attention to long enough to even know the names of all the characters. Extremely steampunk in look; the visuals are lovely.

Eureka is loads of fun, although it's still not "down tools and stare at without distractions." I just know most of the character names.
