The first series is currently being shown on Channel 5 [terrestrial, friday nights at 8pm] although it's coming to the end of its run. Later series are being shown on Sky1 [digital].
Hi!
My internet was down all week! Me and Duckie want to know when we can come and annoy you!!!
It is a show where they take someone who is socially and emotionally crippled with low self-esteem due to a wonky nose or a few stretch-marks, and do loads and loads of plastic surgery on them until they look completely different and weird and then dress them up and show them off to their family and friends in a country mansion somewhere.
It was Absurdity Theory by Julad, which I really enjoyed - and I just today read the Sentinel fic you recced - great - it took me back to the old days, somehow, when slash was all new and exciting. :)
I abjectly adore Julad's Absurdity Theory, and hence Zelenka/McKay. Do you think this is why people go into new fandoms, to recapture that old feeling of newness and excitingness? And what was it about that Sentinel fic that made you think 'new' and 'exciting'??
I am busy next saturday, but apart from that can do any saturday [although will be nearer to 2pm due to singing class, which ends beginning of december] and pretty much any sunday. Sunday not so good for Duckie, although I imagine the trains will be better from hers to your than they are from ehrs to mine. ;)
Oh, no! Not you too! *cries* But Stargate Atlantis is like... one of the absolute worst shows to have graced our television screens in the past few years! It's like... the Orlando Bloom of TV series! (and you knwo me, that's NOT a compliment, lol)
The 2 minutes I saw of it seemed fairly unremarkable and wooden (so I can sympathise with the Orlando Bloom analogy!) but I am just being pounded by phenomenal SGA fics and want to get a glimpse of canon. Strange, I know, but there you are.
