Yay!!

I have my computer back! Now on to reinstalling everything....

Also, hopefully now I can play with Premiere and maybe be a Buffy vidder. Course, might give up halfway because Premiere scares me or something, but we'll see. It's bad... I've already got four vid ideas, sigh.

I also finished reading War of the Flowers. ( Spoilers )

Also read The Da Vinci Code and had a splendid time mocking the writing. ( More spoilers and snark )

X-Files 1x02 Deep Throat

Another first for me. I think I haven't seen anything from the first season. It's so strange, watching this as a very old fan (to me, probably not to people who've been in the fandom) and remembering it was my first fandom. The Mulder/Scully interaction here is much more familiar to me than that in the pilot, although you can see they're still new to each other. Scully can't immediately figure out Mulder's looking for UFO's, she gets mad a lot easier. There's still not the deep world-weariness that hits probably in S4 or 5 or post-abduction, yet there's eye-rolling to the extreme. I had a lot of fun yelling at the TV screen when Mulder off and ran to the base, ditching Scully, first time in a long tradition. I rolled my eyes with patience and explained to the boy that Mulder almost always gets his ass kicked when he ditches Scully, then she has to go haul him out of whatever he's gotten into. This ep was no different. Also, I have been reminded as to why I absolutely adore Scully in this episode. None of the overt feminism bits that poor Sam is stuck with in early SG-1 eps, instead, Scully doesn't have to preach because she (and the viewers) know she's the equal of Mulder. Mulder seems to know it too, from the little smile he gets when she calls him crazy. So Scully drops her calm cool routine and pulls a gun out, and gets what she wants.

I miss the Mulder-Scully banter. I loved Mulder's little smile at Scully's insult, like he loves the debate on another level, loves how she gives as good as she gets, and I love watching Scully actually think about what Mulder says instead of rejecting it outright. Man, I can't wait until I get to Jose Chung's From Outer Space.

Whoo! Faunboy and the Green Man are sitting on my desk! Many thanks, Aliera, and they're absolutely gorgeous. Am currently ogling over Faunboy. Seriously gorgeous.
