Space MADNESS
Okay, okay, the ginger Klingon is less irritating now.
I could have done without the ginger-Klingon sex, though.
The idea of introducing Pilot to Gypsy, however, has given me an excellent twist for an upcoming Doctors!verse novel. When I return to a sci-fi ruining state of mind,* the medical saga of Shipmonster G. Space!Kraken,** already inspired by an aspect of Gypsy, gets an upgrade. It hasn't made me cackle before now. I love it when I cackle.
Speaking of medical drama, I can't stop writing it even in high fantasy, it would seem. You rarely hear, "There will be a slight delay in our world-saving Quest on account of our hero's recovery from open-heart surgery" in these stories. I'd like to see the Houses of Healing deal with a character whose heart has just exploded. THAT'S RIGHT, YO, MY NOT!ELVES ARE WAY COOLER THAN YOUR ELVES.
Damn, I love this hobby. You wish yours was half so much fun.
*I oscillate between sci-fi and fantasy moods pretty regularly.
**Another placeholder name. It takes me YEARS sometimes to come up with good names.
For the record, the G stands for Gamera.

I like that everyone has a dark side, too. "The Way We Weren't" had some excellent explorations of that (Velorek's "I am compassionate! Oh, and after I torture you for your own good, you should experience some slight discomfort FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE" was effectively creepy), and with every Zhaan episode I start expecting her to finally schism and start her own Smeagol/Gollum routine. I think they handle that aspect of self-struggle better than Star Trek.
My sister saw the first episode--she's not a CRAZY SPACE ADVENTURES fan, but she is a Jim Henson fan, so I had to show her the OMGPUPPETS. (She would not believe my claims that the giant space cockroach was adorable until I showed her.) We have decided that the giant three-jawed monster Rygel was bargaining with is the best one-shot character ever, and that after a hard day's selling it goes to a cozy-mystery book club and knits seven-armed orange sweaters for its nieces and nephews between sips of Decaf Earl Grey. Cthulhu is its bridge partner.
