Just saw Thoughtcrimes.
1. Huh. That was not a typical "I saw it because X was in it, and it sucked" experience. I am so used to being embarrassed for whoever I'm watching for, either for the writing or the acting. This was not only not bad, it was thoroughly enjoyable. It got best when ( Not really spoilery other than a summary of the premise ) Such are the limitations of TV pilots.
2. Hoooooly hell, so that threesome fic I read whenever ago might actually have been Navi Rawat/Joe Flanigan/PETER HORTON. *scrambles to find it again* *ETA: Oh, damn, it was a crossover with someone else* I am going to enjoy revisiting the bunch of Brendan/Freya fics that I already liked before I saw the movie, too, now that there's context for them. I totally buy that pairing. Freya/Mike, too—there must be fic for that, even if not necessarily by the SGA fans who wrote Brendan. Could be sweet, could be hot, could be creepy if it plays on the power dynamics—though most of the time strong and capable, Freya had moments uncomfortably like how I imagine Eliza Dushku is in Dollhouse: like incompletely formed clay for the men to shape, or a tool for them to use. Delicious tells me there's Mike/Brendan as well. Of course. Hmmm. Mike teaching him how to block thoughts? Could be like Legilimency lessons.
3. Seeing those two guys not only appear in the same movie but also in one scene together, facing off across a desk, makes me want to write the Sheppard-as-Zeke Stone story even more.
Before I burn it to disc and take it off the hard drive, here it is for anyone who might want it. hxxp://www.megaupload.com/?d=SPDANMTB Replace the x's in the link, and change the file extension to avi when you've snagged.
