dth and that

[sab]

1. Don't have a Dreamwidth acct yet but plan on buying one in May, just for namesquatting slash exit strategy. But I ain't leaving LJ. I like it here. Also Dreamwidth is Dth in my head, not DW, which is and will always be Doctor Who. Any chance of starting a trend? So... who's got a Dth invite? *g* Use it learn it love it! Use it three times and it's yours! Woo!

2. Though I do a lot of my brain-spewing over on Twitter... I was suspicious of folks who ship their twitters to LJ until I realized it's for archival purposes, not just noise, and then it made lots of sense. Twitter isn't searchable and doesn't have any useful archive properties. Which is to say I'll probably be shippin' my tweets here but will keep 'em behind a cut once I figure out how. So, people, what's your favorite tweet-shipper?

3. I forgot what 3 was for.

4. In re: mini XF renaissance, and without getting into a whole to-do... canonically it's safest to assume Mulder and Scully started sleeping together somewhere between "Orison" and "all things", yes? I mean, it was pretty blindingly obvious this time through, much as my fannish brain can of course put it anywhere -- around "Anasazi" is good, as is, of course, before "Never Again." But in canon, this time through, I don't even think it was subtext. Or maybe I'm giving them too much credit, or maybe David and Gillian just took over, but I think it's pretty clear there is some commencing-of-sexual-relationship just after Orison and from there through Requiem. My guess is that David and Gillian consciously played it that way. Does anyone (frey_at_last) have any interview material, etc, to back this up?

5. Speaking of post-Orison, do what I did, and go back and read Anyone with a Gun, the Orison post-ep runpunkrun and I wrote as our combined cool-headed alter ego, V. Salmone (a professional and well-educated woman from Corpus Christi, TX, in case you were wondering; she has a backstory and everything... and a desk). Not to toot our horns, but when Punk and I put our heads together, sometimes good stuff comes out, and in this case, somehow, it was just right. At least in terms of my most current XF rewatch. Felt good, is what. High fives all around.

6. I fell asleep outside in the sun and my retinas have not yet forgiven me.

7. Who watches "Hell's Kitchen"? What a car crash of a show. But yet I can't look away.

2. I use LoudTwitter to ship, but I ship it to a Gmail account, so that it's archived & searchable, but not in anyone's way.

4. I remember making this post mentioning that the producers changed the beginning of "all things" to imply that M&S slept together, but I have no idea why I made it. DVD commentary, maybe? Check the DVD if you have it.

Is your Twitter name the same?

At this point there still aren't any interviews testifying to the theory that David and Gillian consciously made M&S turn the corner. But most of the people I know who have rewatched the series recently have come to the same conclusion. Especially with Chris Carter still blaring about "respect" at the time, it's hard to think he was behind it.

BUT, "all things" is accepted as the closest thing to official notice - at the time - since Gillian says in her commentary that the producers (I think she mentions Spotnitz by name) came to her and told her that she should put in a little implication that they spent the night together (since they were planning for the end-of-season pregnancy surprise).

Now, Chris and Frank both talk like it's established canon that M&S had sex in the end half of season seven, but since it wasn't in the scripts and they also say they kept everything deliberately ambiguous, I don't know who else we can blame except Duchovny and Anderson! (And they claim that after six years they didn't even remember they'd had a baby, so who knows if they remember how they interacted in season seven.)

I can't even guess as to whether it was conscious or unconscious, but I'd like someone to ask them, someday!

I second what scrubschick said.

I'm probably watching a different Hell's Kitchen to you, or am somewhere else in the episodes, but yes, it's so awful I can't take my eyes off it.

Which is why, although I do not know you, I love you. Tiny moments in your writing, like this.

I think Dth is a good idea! Will try to switch.

I used LoudTwitter, but it has stopped working for me, I don't know why. Will have to investigate.

Twitter is actually quite searchable!
