Fannish Items of Interest

Io9 lists “30 DVD sets that will make the new year bright.”

Watch Craig Ferguson’s musical tribute to the Doctor. It’s great. I’ve never watched Ferguson’s show, so I wasn’t aware Matt Smith was there until now.

The 13 Best MST3K Songs.

Meanwhile, I’m making a list of all the shows I need to try to find and watch online and see if I like. I’m going to try to do this before next year’s Yuletide. So far the list is: Wonderfalls, Farscape, Due South, The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne, Point Pleasant, Big Wolf on Campus, Poltergeist: The Legacy. Possibly Misfits and The Vampire Diaries, although I'm not entirely sure. I don’t need to bother trying to track down Moonlight or The Sentinel, since Syfy has marathons periodically. (Can't stand the lead in the latter.) Any ideas for anything else to add to the list? I found downloads of Lost Girl yesterday. The first episode appears to be good, so I’ll watch the second in a little while.

I finally found Forever Knight in a format that isn’t divided into chunks. Each episode in its entirety has been put on Youtube. If anyone is interested, you can find them here. It’s just the first two seasons, since they don’t seem to have added season 3 yet. I’ll see if I can catch up that way by next year.

I went ahead and ordered the entire series of both She-Wolf of London and the 90’s revival of Dark Shadows from Amazon, since it had proven impossible to find a download of She-Wolf anywhere. Dark Shadows was usually $39.98. Today, it’s $9.99. I don’t know how long that will last. Once I have both, I won’t need to worry about finding copies of either when Yuletide rolls around next year.

Oh, and something I needed to ask my friends list. Does anyone know of any good horror movie guides? I have a couple really good ones, but they only go up to 1999. I haven’t found any since then.

Hardly any of those MST3K songs are ones I would have picked. Ah well.

Also ooo Dark Shadows. Someday I need to get back to watching the original series.

for watching online some places I've found are:
http://watch-series.com/
http://sharetv.org/watch
http://videostic.com/TvShows/

I've never found Jules Verne online other than a few episodes up on youtube

Do you need to be pointed to any sekkrit comms or those sorts of places?

there are some comms on dreamwidth and IJ too

As for SAJV the edited versions are all on youtube broken into parts here- http://www.youtube.com/user/SAJVchannel and the 2nd episode is up on megavideo here http://www.megavideo.com/?v=KFHEOOCZ

it's next to impossible to find the unedited version since Syfy showed only the edited one

SAVJ was WONDERFUL. I accidentally caught most of the finale unedited when a local station showed it and I'm still kicking myself for not having taped it

another watch online site: http://www.alluc.org/

I'll PM you the dreamwidth ones and one IJ that isn't locked and anyone can see

I love SAJV- I asked for it for Yuletide, I haven't found much fic for it and no real fandom places
