Sure! 

A “girl friday” is a female employee with a range of duties, usually of the secretarial/clerical nature, considered an “invaluable assistant.”  It was later adapted to mean “the chick you can always rely on to come through for you.” 

The phrase was supposedly first used in the 1940s (which is probably why some are unfamiliar with it) supposedly spawned by the Cary Grant/Rosiland Russell movie “His Girl Friday,” which is an awesome movie if you like classic flicks, which I do.  It’s known for its fast banter, great chem, and rapid fire dialogue.

The “joke” is that Oliver Queen, as lead of Arrow (which airs on Wednesdays here in the USA) wouldn’t need Felicity (now his go to girl in & out of the office) to be his “Girl Friday. He needs a “Girl Wednesday.” Get it? 

The CW has a longstanding reputation for puns & jokes involving its Wednesdays, so I chalk Girl Wednesday up to following that trend as well as a wink to the day Arrow airs .  :)

Here’s the (fanmade) trailer to the movie in case you’re curious about the movie:

Announcement: New Dreamwidth Community to rewatch and discuss Fringe is starting on April 1.

This is not a live watch. The mods will put up the discussion post but you can view the episode at your convenience and contribute your thoughts as you’re able. We’ll be watching two episodes a week, every Tuesday and Friday.

Membership is open to all. Dreamwidth doesn’t need an invite code and you can create a free account. My fellow mods are Kerithwyn and Wikiaddicted723.

Fringe is streaming on Netflix and Amazon. Depending on where you live, it is also available through your local library. ♥

Intro Post Season One Schedule

To all the Fringe lovers, enthusiasts, graphics/gifs/video makers, writers, artists…

When Fringe was in its third season and it was moved to Friday nights, also nicknamed the Death Slot because many shows have come to ‘die’ when airing at that particular time/day, it didn’t look so good for us. But because Fringies were not ready to let it go without a fight, we got a 4th season, and against all odds, even a final 5th season.

That’s why our show was affectionately referred to as: 

The Little Show That Could

It is now nearing the first anniversary of its…well, I don’t want to say ‘disappearance/death’, because even though we are not getting new episodes anymore, new people are joining the fandom every week (thank you netflix!), while old-timers remain, which keeps Fringe from ever dying.

Still, on January 18th, it will be a year since ‘An Enemy of Fate’ aired, so some commemoration is in order! That’s where you, Fringies, come into play. Let’s celebrate our beloved show and its unforgettable characters and storylines.

You have free rein. What you decide to make is totally up to you. I know, that’s quite vague, but who am I to pick for you what aspect of Fringe you love the most? But here are some examples of what you can do:

Make something on your  favorite, character, season or episode, even on the scene that touched you the most.

You can pick one of your favorite Fringe quotes, funny or depressing as hell, and decide to build something around it.

You can pick one of the themes, like family, father/child, parallel universes, fate, or Olivia people dying a lot.

You want to focus on your favorite pairing? Just go for it!

NO RESTRICTION.

This blog is usually all about P/O, but for the occasion, I’ve decided it will accept anything Fringe related, so if you want to make something about Peter and Altlivia, or any kind of Altlivia/Lincoln tribute, it will certainly be reblogged/posted as well :)

The goal of this “meme” is to give our show some love, to show that we still, and will always, care.

Now for further instructions on how to participate, feel free to click on the read more below. Also, reblog away!!
