prillalar | I must be getting old. There's nothing on TV.

I used to watch a lot of shows, but most of them have ended (X-Files) or been cancelled (Firefly) or started to suck really hard (Andromeda).

I'm still watching Buffy and Angel. But with Buffy ending and Angel -- has it been renewed? -- in doubt, I have no new shows to be fannish about. (I did give Smallville a try for about 6 eps, but just couldn't deal.)

I find I'm moving into lit fandoms, which is cool and I'm enjoying it a lot. And there are some good movies coming up too. But I still want my weekly fannish TV fix. I want to sit there on the couch and stare and clench my fists and talk to the screen and know that I can go online afterwards and bond with people over it.

Is there anything on now that I should be jumping into? Heard about anything good coming up?

<shatner>Must...be...fannish.</shatner>

On a positive note, new episodes of Trailer Park Boys start April 20. This is an absolutely fucking brilliant Canadian show. It's faux reality -- a documentary about Julian and Ricky who are, well, trailer park boys. Each season takes place in between their numerous stints in jail.

They used to be contract pet killers. (If your neighbour's cat was menacing your birds, you would just call Julian and Ricky and put a hit on the cat.) Mostly now, they grow dope. This is one of the funniest shows I've ever seen and I'm in love with it. But it's not going to do for my fannish show.

So, got a fandom? Seduce me.

The second season of Jeremiah's about to start on Showtime, and it's definitely slash fodder. C'mon, write me some good Marcus/Jeremiah, woncha?

And don't forget there's always West Wing. And, um...Enterprise? *g*

Oh wait. Also, John Doe on Fox is reasonable. Though I'll give you, not particularly slashy. I think Miracles and Jeremiah are our best bets. I'll watch Miracles tonight.

Who's got money on it being cancelled before June? *sad g*

I wonder if/when we get Jeremiah here in Canada. I'll have to search around. What's it about?

I remember watching the West Wing pilot and being very impressed. But I just can't bring myself to watch a show about the American political system, no matter how good it is. It's not an anti-American thing; it's more that I feel I've sometimes got more info (though from TV, hence not reliable) about the legal-policial-etc. system in the US than I do the Canadian systems. And this was just too much to add to that.

Plus I think I was watching a lot of shows when it first began and didn't have the time. *g*

Jeremiah: oh, like fifteen years ago all the adults died of a terrible disease. Now Luke Perry and Malcolm-Jamal Warner are all growed up in a post-apocalyptic world where cities and towns are gang-ified and run by the tough kids. Luke and Malcolm (Jeremiah and Kurdy) end up at a place called Thunder Mountain which was a research facility before all the grownups died, now it's a kind of a safe haven run by a kid called Markus who reminds me a whole lot of Mal from Firefly. With the weight of the world on his shoulders and whatnot. (And he's so TOTALLY in love with Jeremiah, I mean, duh) and they're all trying to find a cure for the disease and they're also trying to uncover a Secret Conspiracy of Allegedly Alive Grownups called "Valhalla Sector." Which, of course, Jeremiah's dad is a part of.

Mmmm, now I need to re-watch. Want I should dub the first season for you on tapes? 'Cause I'd do that for another Jeremiah fan. As there are, like, four of us.

Check out the Showtime website, www.sho.com, for more info and cute pictures.

Jeremiah sounds *really* interesting. Alas, it's on pay-tv here, not anything I get with my already over-priced cable package. Maybe it's time to move to digital.

Let me ponder re the tapes. I don't want to put you to any bother.

But Miracles I can watch, so I'll give that a whirl tonight.

Oh, and I meant to add, how could I forget to mention that of course I'm alreay world's biggest Enterprise fan. Didn't you see all the Archer/Bif(or Trip or Dash or whatever the hell his name is) slash at my website?

Never give up, never surrender!

Naturally, I just wanted to make sure you hadn't forgotten...

I wandered over to this discussion because I was searching for Marcus/Jeremiah slash, and this LJ comment came up on google. Seems like there's not a lot of M/J slash out there. ::sigh:: But you are so right -- Marcus is obviously crazy about Jeremiah. I came to the show late, watching tapes with a group of friends; we watched the final 3 episodes of Season 1 just tonight. The scene in "Means to An End" where Marcus is drunk and Jeremiah's allegedly trying to help him stay on his feet, and they're just all over each other -- total slash fodder. Some character, Erin I think, walks in and says to them, "What are you *doing*?" I said to my friends, "Inspiring fan fiction." I *wish*. It's got to be out there somewhere...

Wow, bizarre! But I owe

sabine101 some fic, so I've got some on the "to be written" list.

No joke. That's one of my favorite episodes, especially for Markus' line when Jeremiah says it's time to take Marcus home...Markus, clinging desperately to Jeremiah's shoulder, moaning "Jeremiah, I am home!" Oh, the slash, the slash.

Okay, now *both* of you owe me fic. I did not forget,

prillalar, my memory is long...

Seems like there's not a lot of M/J slash out there.

Does this mean you've found *any*? I haven't found a lick of it. Recs, please?

Just to let you know this thread is alive and well. Read the Shower Fic, very nice. Now, what is it about this thing with Markus exiling Jeremiah to his own town but then constantly recalling him for...what, meetings? It's gotta be more than Theo driving him crazy, or Mr. Lee paranoia!

More please.

Inn.
