Yeah, but we are “ penetrating” outer space aren’t we? Have you seen 2001 A Space Odessa. The imagery there is...

Well. Yes. There is THAT. I guess, space travel... ANY exploration really, is basically penetrative, in a way, metaphorically. Or, you know, literally.

Hiya Laura

I haven’t seen the whole of Hidden as the site I was streaming it from, (don’t blame me Duffer Bros/WB, I can’t find anywhere to purchase it in the UK), went down, and I haven’t bothered to get it back up again. Hmm, yeah so that’s how involved I was, I really didn’t care, which is not to say the acting wasn’t good, as it was, very, especially from Alex, who totally inhabited his role, as usual. 

Idk perhaps it was the mood I was in but I didn’t find it very scary it’s more popcorn scary.

I know that aislingssong, characteristicallyexuberant, hsm7, maggiesview, skarsgard-fixation, and skarsjoy, have all seen this movie and any of them would be only too pleased to answer any questions you have as they are all lovely.

If you wish to get my blog up and search ‘hidrvw’ you can see some of their thoughts, (no real spoilers).

In summary, (from what I saw), it wasn’t horror scary, more drama scary, and hey, Alex is in 90% of the scenes ;)

I hope that helped you a little, and please don’t hesitate to contact me again, or any of the people I mentioned, as they really are so kind and helpful.

Best wishes

Thanks to all of you for your kind words on my post.

I was a bit nervous putting it out there....so thank you!

and a special note of thanks to Suzanne askarsjustsoswedish for always encouraging me to write. You are awesome.

Here’s how it works:

Rule 1: always post the rules Rule 2: always answer the questions the person who tagged you asked and write your questions Rule 3: tag 10 people Rule 4: actually tell them you tagged them

I was tagged by Maggiesview. Here are her questions and my answers. 

1. If you could write ( or rewrite) a series finale for your favorite show, what would it be like?

I think the most important thing is that the end makes sense. Not necessarily HEA, but something that makes you feel satisfied when watching. Bill Compton needs to die for his many sins and Sookie should be the one to stake him. It is time for her to grow up and realize that the only one that has ever treated her like she’s valuable in herself is Eric Northman. She has to be alone and figure out who she really is and what she needs to be happy. Eric Northman would solve the hep V issue and take his place in vampire hierarchy. At the moment, I’m not even sure if I want Eric and Sookie together after seeing S6. On the other hand, if I was involved in the writing of S7, Eric and Sookie would work together to resolve the issues of both hep V vampires and Bill Compton. I think that would make the finale a much different one than what the writers are coming up with now. And I really liked maggiesview’s end so if that was the end, there would be no need to rewrite either.

2. If you could pick a fictional character to be your roommate, which character would it be and why ? Killian Jones, OUAT. Just look at him and you’ll know why. He also knows how to party, which is always a plus and has traveled all over the worlds so we'd have a lot to talk about as well. 

3.If you could have a supernatural power of any fictional character that has them(be it a power or a species-like a vampire-or a power of a comic book hero), which one wold you pick and why?  To be invisible. I think it would be really funny to be able to sneak around and visit places I never would be able to otherwise.

4.Who is your absolute definitive NOTP, a couple you cannot stand together( be it canonical or only a possibility) Sookie Stackhouse and Bill Compton.  

5.If you had a chance to meet your favorite actor or actress, and talk to them at some length, what would you ask them?  No idea. I think I would treat them like any interesting person I’ve ever met and wanted to know better. I really don’t see any difference between actors and normal people.

6.Is there an issue(in media or in your life) that you will absolutely get into a verbal fight over? Something that is so important to you ,you cannot stand not to engage?. Yes, there are many. I don’t like oppression of any kind.

7. If you had a chance to sit a writer down (TV or book or movie ) and let them know exactly how you feel about their work(positive or negative)who would it be and what would you say?

I would thank Janet Evanovich for making me laugh. I love her characters as they never fail to make me feel good when I need it.

8.Are you in love with a fictional character (and it doesn’t have to be romantically) Which one and why?  Grandma Mazur from the Plum books. She’s what I’d like to be when I get that age.

9.Is there a book that hasn’t been brought to the screen that you would like to see adapted?  Yes, I’d love to see anything by Ilona Andrews as a movie. The Kate Daniels books have a really good and interesting storyline and vampires that are really different from what we normally see.

10.Are there any shows you regret watching and loving in hindsight.

I don’t think so as I always leave show when I no longer find them worth my interest ;D 

Hope you enjoyed this. I'll be back later with my questions as I've been tagged by Beaufortsplace as well:)

I was tagged by stillhidden and maggiesview, both using the same questions.

This is the second one of these in as many days that I'm doing, so I'm not going to tag anyone or think of new questions, and hence I am not posting the rules, but... I want to answer my girls, so....!

Here goes:

1. If you could write (or rewrite) a series finale for your favorite show, what would it be like?

Hm. If I could do that, I would have ended the X-Files when Duchovny left it, and I would start my rewrite even earlier to allow Mulder and Scully's relationship a satisfying resolution. What exactly I would do is a big writing project I can't undertake at the moment, but... yes. The X-Files. I would get rid of the whole baby thing, or alter it drastically.

2. If you could pick a fictional character to be your roommate, which character would it be and why?

Gosh. Hard one. Peggy Olson from Mad Men. She needs a friend.

3. If you could have a supernatural power of any fictional character that has them (be it a power of a species — like a vampire — or a power of a comic book hero), which one would you pick and why?

Definitely whatever power Loki has that allows him to look so awesome in those golden goat horns. It might just be the superpower of being Tom Hiddleston.

4. Who is your absolute definitive NOTP, a couple you cannot stand together (be it canonical or only a possibility)?

Bill and Sookie. Obviously. BARF. Also, I am a casual, guilty pleasure (? I'm not sure it's even a pleasure, really) watcher of The Vampire Diaries, and I swear, I will die of boredom (more than I already am) if Elena ever takes Stefan back.

5. If you had a chance to meet your favorite actor/actress, and talk to them at some length, what would you ask them?

I don't know that I have any specific things I'd ask. I think I'd just try to engage them and see where it went. Organic-like. 

6. Is there an issue (in media or in your life) that you will absolutely get into a verbal fight over? Something that is so important to you, you cannot stand not to engage?

I am really quite frustrated by the broad strokes approach to feminism, representation of women in narratives, and relationship/consent issues. I think there's a great tendency in people to dumb down complexities in favour of generalisations that do more to obscure the issues than they do to interrogate and truly process them. I barely manage to restrain myself from engaging several times a day because I know what I have to say won't go over well, and you gotta choose your battles.

7. If you had a chance to sit a writer down (TV or book or movie) and let them know exactly how you feel about their work (positive or negative), who would it be and what would you say?

I would tell Martin Scorsese to stop making films. I am SO FUCKING SICK of his films. Films about men and what men gotta do, and he has nothing new or interesting to say on the topic. I know he is a lionised giant of the cinema, but I fucking loathe every one of his films. Except maybe King of Comedy that one was borderline ok.

8. Are you in love with a fictional character (and it doesn’t have to be romantically)? Which one and why?

Well, I'll never NOT be in love with John Thornton. I think it's how emotional he is, and how willing he is to suffer it honestly and abjectly, without being woobified. I love that he needs Margaret to save him, not just in an emotional sense, but in the eyes of the world, too. I would die of that man, and I would totally make out with Richard Armitage's version of him. I'm also a bit in love with the character of Sherlock Holmes. I love the idea of him as looking like a cold, stony mountain and actually being a volcano. I wouldn't want to date him -- obviously he is taken! -- but I do love the idea of him.

9. Is there a book that hasn’t been brought to screen that you would like to see adapted?

Yes! I would love to see a film of Donna Tartt's The Secret History. I think it would be just brilliant in the right hands. Not Martin Scorsese's.

10. Are there any shows you regret watching and loving in hindsight?

Not really. I enjoyed my time with all of them for different reasons. There are some I can't love like I used to, but I don't regret loving anything. There are things I never really loved and now regret watching though. Gold medal in that category goes to Scandal, which SUCKS ASS, IMHO.

Not only were there more scenes of Alex in the NBC doc but the focus was on the American team whereas the focus in the...
