meme: do you know my canon?

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

We haven't done this one since December (though it feels way longer for some reason) and since we have new characters and new canons and because I wish to avoid work like the plague, let us do it again! Now let me tell you how in a bit totally stolen from rilla_myrilla!

Ping in with your canon (as specifically as you'd like for giant insane comic, SW and Power Ranger stuff). Then wait for other people to ping in with their canons! If you're familiar with it, tell them! And then, yay, new people to squee with!

Which, if you're not watching, I think you need to have a damn good reason. Like one of the cast members killed your family or something.

Re: Community

[life_inshadow]

It's the only sitcom I'm making a point to watch right now. Much love.

Harry Potter

[smartestone]

Books and movies, is it July yet?

Re: Harry Potter

[weetuskenraider]

I have fond memories of going to a midnight release party for Deathly Hallows at an awesome indie bookstore in Hollywood, with bat_spawn. The best part was how they'd been keeping the books locked up until midnight in the cupboard under the stairs.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

[brat_inslayage]

If you know the comics, I kind of pity you. (As I pity me.)

Re: Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Angel

[annieadderall.livejournal.com]

Last week I pegged which episode it was by Buffy's hair.

The Vampire Diaries

[puppywithatutu.livejournal.com]

The television version! Though I admit I've read some of the books...um.

Re: The Vampire Diaries

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

I...have seen lots of YT vids! And I actually do have a lot of the episodes on my hard drive. Maybe I will start watching during my upcoming vacay!

DCverse, Batfamily Edition

[batwaffles.livejournal.com]

Because just this portion of the canon is frighteningly extensive. Oh, my exponentially-growing pull list. *weeps*

Re: DCverse, Batfamily Edition

[icecoldfrost]

I picked up the BoP for the Question a few weeks ago, and I own the Cass Cain Batgirl in flopies. I will wait and see how they treat my favorite Batgirl in Batman Inc & Gates of Gotham before I start picking up any Batfamily again on a regular basis.

Xena: Warrior Princess

[ancientbschamp.livejournal.com]

. . . god, I miss the Action Pack.

Re: Xena: Warrior Princess

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

It's been awhile since I've watched 'em but I've got several seasons on DVD. I miss good, cheesy syndicated shows.

Corner Gas

[laceycantlie.livejournal.com]

YAY CANADIAN TELEVISION.

Re: Corner Gas

[hurtingzeebo]

I have not seen many episodes, but the ones I have seen were great fun!

Misfits

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

A bunch of young offenders are granted powers via a bad lightning storm! They fight crime! Or cause crime! Or...well, just fuck left and right! It's fun!

Re: Misfits

[wheeler-360.livejournal.com]

I've just started watching this! Got one episode left of series one.

Battlestar Galactica (RDM)

[cantgetnorelief.livejournal.com]

So much pretty. So much doom and gloom. So much bad lighting.

Re: Battlestar Galactica (RDM)

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

This show could be SO GOOD and SO VERY BAD. But, I stuck with it till the end (WTFy as it was). Bear McCreary's soundtracks are some of the best things to come from BSG.

The Graveyard Book

[therewaslife]

A young boy is raised by ghosts and a vampire and comes out remarkably well adjusted! There are prophecies and Jacks of All Trades and ghouls and something called a Sleer!

Re: The Graveyard Book

[wwiii]

I actually have that book sitting about two feet to the right of me, right this moment. It's kind of buried under the rest of my reading pile, which is HUGE and TERRIFYING.

But omg, even though I haven't read it yet, I can hardly wait to. <3 Gaiman.

Strangers in Paradise

[thismaskiwear.livejournal.com]

This was how I learned to love comics, actually, despite having been a casual reader of them for years.

Re: Strangers in Paradise

[onlymistaken]

I AM VAGUELY FAMILIAR.

Legend of the Seeker

[wrongkindofsith]

I miss my dead gay show. :(

Re: Legend of the Seeker

[weetuskenraider]

I am about to start watching it finally! trigons_child gave me the S2 DVDs for my birthday last year, and I finally picked up S1, so this weekend. Yes.

Percy Jack and the Olympians

[seaweed-demigod.livejournal.com]

Olympus is chilling at the top of the Empire State Building and people want a dumbass like Percy to save the day. Thank goodness he has some intelligent helpers along the way.

Re: Percy Jack and the Olympians

[exactlyaverage.livejournal.com]

I think I read all of the books in about two weeks. So horribly addicting.

James Bond (Reboot)

[doubleohblonde]

Bond is blond, and pretty pretty man-candy.

Re: James Bond (Reboot)

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

Mmm, yes he is.

So good.

Calvin & Hobbes

[not_tylerdurden]

If the adventures of a boy and his tiger don't make you smile, you have no soul, trufax.

Re: Calvin & Hobbes

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

I have all the omnibus collections and regularly curse Bill Watterson for retiring.

Star Wars (Expanded Universe)

[weetuskenraider]

HELLO NEW CANON TOMORROW. This should be interesting.

Re: Star Wars (Expanded Universe)

[stylin-wizard.livejournal.com]

I want to try my hand at reading all the EU books but I have no idea where to start!

That being said, I ♥ Tahiri so much. :D

Grey's Anatomy

[fratboybitch.livejournal.com]

THIS SHOW IS SO AWFUL but it's like addicting over the top candy about doctors who have sex with each other and occasionally treat patients.

Re: Grey's Anatomy

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

I've watched a couple of episodes for the guest stars? Like this girl.

Power Rangers

[time-flyer-5.livejournal.com]

Gratuitous fighty sounds! Color-coded spandex! Incredibly formulaic archetypes!

In game we have the Mighty Morphin'/Zeo/Turbo, in Space, Time Force, and SPD eras represented, but hey, anything from Mighty Morphin' to Samurai.

BONUS POINTS IF YOU KNOW THE SUPER SENTAI COUNTERPARTS. (Okay, I can't give bonus points. Whatevs.)

Re: Power Rangers

[wheeler-360.livejournal.com]

THEY BROUGHT BULK BACK.

Also, I am kinda dreading what Saban might do to Gokaiger, and I haven't even seen a full episode of it yet.

Iron Man: Armored Adventures

[hoorayimrich.livejournal.com]

With its disturbing animation. It's on Netflix now!

...no, I don't expect anyone to sit through it. I'm mildly insane for having done so.

Re: Iron Man: Armored Adventures

[laceycantlie.livejournal.com]

IT'S ON NETFLIX NOW?!? *ADDS TO QUEUE*

What?

Dollhouse

[dollpocalypse]

Since SOMEONE beat me to my other kid's canon.

A classy, thriving business in LA dispenses programmable people to clients for various tasks. Wheeeee brothels!

Re: Dollhouse

[thatsamilkshake]

I still need to finish out Season 2; I lost track right after Ep5 for various doing-other-things reasons. Topher is one of my favorite characters, though! (Along with Adelle.)

Magic Bites, etc.

[withasword.livejournal.com]

The next book is out in a week. I WANT.

Re: Magic Bites, etc.

[godgavemecable.livejournal.com]

Truefax: I've been eyeing those books for a while, ever since I stumbled across a preview of the first chapter of the first book, possibly on the author's website? I don't even remember. But they're downloaded to my phone and will be read, damnit. Once I finish A Song Of Ice & Fire.

Deadpool

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

His own titles, Cable & Deadpool, various X-titles...

Suicide Kings is my favorite of the recent series. HE ROLLS WITH A POSSE.

Re: Deadpool

[willbethenight.livejournal.com]

I absolutely need to read Suicide Kings sometime.

But I've been through the wars with DP since he tied into the then-upcoming Weapon X comic by Tieri, through C&D, some of the Way stuff, and then I started picking up the DP Classic books when Marvel started releasing them, just so that I could get a feel for what Joe Kelly was like when he was better than he was on Amazing Spider-Man.

Ironically, the issue where DP goes back in time into an issue of Stan Lee's Amazing Spider-Man is THE GREATEST COMIC EVER.

Blade: Trinity

[decoder-rings.livejournal.com]

Super super cheesy movie but Ryan Reynold is hot, Parker Posey chews scenery, Callum Keith Rennie adds to his IMMENSE resume, and wrestler Triple H is a meathead!

Re: Blade: Trinity

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

It's all your fault I have seen this, yes.

Dirty Sexy Money

[twintuitionist.livejournal.com]

It's like if Arrested Development and Melrose Place had a baby.

Re: Dirty Sexy Money

[stars_and_money]

DSM is one of those shows where I can't choose my favourite character because I basically love everyone.

Well, except maybe Lisa. I'm not crazy about her. But I luuuurve the show and how funny and over the top it is.

Glee

[chief-cheerio.livejournal.com]

Come, join hands with me and pray the season finale will not suck.

Re: Glee

[tripledmyself.livejournal.com]

I really fear what they might pull out in the season finale. I FEAR IT. This season's been so uneven and now I know they'll try to go out in some over the top fashion.
