As Usual, I'm Behind

Been meaning to comment on both Blood Ties and Dresden Files and Stargate.



First off, I always thought her name was 'Agent Mai' not 'Ancient Mai'! But how awesome was it that she was a dragon?! Squeee! I really enjoyed this episode. And the episode prior with his rat bastard uncle. Dang, Harry's been through a lot! But Bob, I love Bob [sniff] I think this has to be one of my favourite new shows! I can't believe it's already all over for the season.



As for the books, I haven't read any yet, but I'm thinking of trying to get through a few while I'm on vacation. Which brings us to Blood Ties. I'm on the fourth book in the series, and I'm having a hard time sustaining interest. I know the series has a lot of fans on my f'list, but honestly, if I hadn't been loaned all of them, I'm not sure I would have gone on past the second one. I don't read a lot of vampire fiction, and when I do read books in that genre, I'm looking for a more... erotic sort of read, I guess. And the books just don't push any of those sorts of buttons for me. I don't care whether Vicki is with Henry or Mike. and I actually find Mike more attractive than Henry -- what's with that? [g]



At the end of the incubus episode, I really did enjoy the interchange between Henry and the Incubus. Very amusing! But I thought the fighting over Vicki thing between Henry and Mike a little over the top. Actually, it's a little much in most of the episodes I've seen so far.



If you stayed through to the end, congrats!!


Decided to save SG1 for a separate post for spoiler purposes

I hope you didn't intend for your words to be as hurtful as they were.

I didn't mean for them to be hurtful, (((((Ith))))). It's... we don't seem to have been communicating here. You've been talking about feelings and opinions, and I've been talking about literary styles and the definitions of words. I mean from here it's been sounding to me like you've been talking about one particular definition of what a vampire can be as if it is the basic definition of what a vampire is while I've been trying to talk about vampires from how they're defined by style and at the basic level. I didn't mean to be hurtful. I was just trying to talk about the styles and definitions. I like you Ith, and we've known each other a long time. I just haven't been getting what you've been saying, and I haven't been being clear myself. I'm very sorry that I've hurt you, ((((((((((Ith)))))))))).

Yeah, we have known each other a long time, so that's why I really hoped you didn't mean it the way it sounded. I'm glad you didn't.

Thanks for explaining. I appreciate it.

If it would make you feel any better I'd delete every post from my first snarky one at you're talking about Henry's not being "vampiry" enough on down. I really really really feel bad that I hurt you, ((((((((((Ith)))))))))). I just totally put my feet in my mouth. If I had some inpsiration I'd offer an apology drabble, but my clear lack of ability to communicate well today is an inspiration killer. x_x

Thanks for explaining. I appreciate it.

*Nods.* Having realized how badly I was communicating I tried very hard to make sure the explanation was clear. O:)

Seriously, you explained and I feel better, so it's over and done with as far as I'm concerened, okay? [gives Becca her very own Henry doll to gaze at]

*Nods sheepishly.* Okay. *Takes her very own Henry doll, and goes off to stay quietly out of trouble with him.*

[ithildyn.livejournal.com]

Staying out of trouble with him is kinda boring [weg]

[beccadg.livejournal.com]

*Blushes deeply.* Oh, I could get into very big trouble with him. Henry and Methos have been owing me some fic since they started teasing me over a prompt at medie (http://medie.livejournal.com/)'s "Kissin' a Fool" Drabble A-Thon.
