help the canadians ate my brain

...Yeah, I'm officially procrastinating on my own fun (the F/K/V is making me want to curl up in a corner and flail, okay) because instead of writing I started making GRAPHS. Extremely unscientific graphs about how there are only eight actors in Canada. Or, well, more like twenty-five. All I know is that I have unscientifically proven that almost everyone has been on due South. Or at least have worked with Paul Gross at some point.

I believe the rule I worked with here was "I have seen this actor in at least two things, and I have seen both of at least two said things they were in." By this criteria I did not acknowledge those times when CKR has variously made out with Molly Parker and Sandra Oh, even though I know they happened, and I did acknowledge THE DOG WHO PLAYED DIEF. Because he was also in Twitch City. Go figure. /o\



This graph is awesome because it shows you how EVERYONE HAS BEEN IN DUE SOUTH. Including gobs of the BSG cast. Also staggering amounts of people are in Flashpoint, most of whom were also in Slings & Arrows, so that's been fun. And Julian Richings is not, in fact, in everything, but since he is Bucky Haight I am now pretty much incapable of watching the Mortimer Brothers scenes in S&A without rolling around on the floor laughing.



This graph is awesome because it gives a visual for the way everything goes back to Paul. And Callum. And Hugh. This mostly begs the question of why Paul and Hugh have never been in the same thing, although considering that the very idea makes me want to giggle nervously and hide behind a convenient couch, maybe that's my answer right there. I'd ask why all three of them have never been in anything together but clearly the answer to that one is "Their combined hotness would expedite global warming enough to cause an immediate apocalypse," so never mind.

POSSIBLY SOMEONE SHOULD SAVE ME FROM MYSELF.

....Aria, my response to this graph is "I would really like Hugh/Laurence/Michelle RPS."

::BLINKS::

I know. But I can't...help it.

I'm going to watch True Blood soon... because I hear Michelle Forbes's character in that makes Cain look like Betty Crocker...

I will someday have to update my own chart

Bee Tee Dubs... I finally got to the Pegasus stuff in classic BSG... and that Cain was just plain crazy cakes. And male. And used to be dating the whore from the first episode who is now with Starbuck and made the WORST TRIANGLE EVER. Aria you must see this series. It's SOOOOOO lamesauce. I love it.

WTF IS THIS ABOUT?! AND GLADLY!

Guh... now I have Bones, Chuck, Dollhouse, and Caprica come wintertime... DUDE DOLLHOUSE AND CAPRICA WILL PROBS BE DOING THE SAME TIMESLOT THING AS BSG. I THINK WE NEED CRAZY TECHNOLOGY/IDENTITY FRIDAY NIGHTS THIS SPRING Y/Y?

OH AND CATCHING YOU UP ON DOLLHOUSE MUST HAPPEN. BEFORE JAMIE BAMBER SHOWS UP.

Oh and I did buy the BSG game. It looks epic.

I'm on board for this. :)

I'm going to somehow try to keep up with Glee but I don't even know if I can despite how it's kind of amazing. I'm mostly focused on Dollhouse because it's stolen my heart in ways it really should not have at this point. I think it's the GIGANAMOUS overlap with BSG fandom. Like... it's ridiculous. I did a poll over in a Dollhouse comm and something like 60% of the fans over there were HUGE BSG fans with like another 15% saying they like BSG.

This is my kind of science.

Hi, I just have to comment about the love I have for your icon, because it totally reminds of the "Fraser and Victoria: a really f*ed up Romeo and Juliet" essay I've been building in my head for the last couple of days.

Eeee, these graphs are awesome, and really make me wish you'd seen ReGenesis, because that would be even crazier to the nth degree. (Srsly, put Peter Outerbridge in there and it just EXPLODES! \o/)

And another link to Hugh -- he guest stars in a couple of eps in season 1, which is why I started watching it in the first place. :-)h

Oooh, C6D graphs. Cool. For some reason I'm wondering what kind of role Don McKellar would have played on due South, if he'd been in it? Hmm.

And it occurs to me that your F/K/V fic might possibly be a fic that I've wanted to read for a long time. I mean, I want to read an F/K/V fic in which there is no prior F/K, F/V or K/V, but instead there is lots of friendship and partnership and gen interaction before anything romantic/sexual happens between all three of them. Your fic might or might not fit this description, but anyway, I am looking forward to reading it. \o/

And I procrastinate on fic-writing all the time. Sometimes I do it by writing other fic, which is at least productive.

Awesome. Now I really want Don McKellar as a criminal mastermind.

And, well, gen is a relative concept. I guess what I really meant was that I wanted a long build-up for the relationship.

*cheers you on with the writing*

*procrastinates on research about subelliptic operators, which is what I should really be doing*

[personal profile] luzula 2009-08-28 02:44 pm (UTC)(link)
It is a really, really long build-up. /o\

I would end that sentence with a \o/! But of course, you're the one who has to write it. : )

These graphs deserve to be on a T-shirt. Hey, I'd wear one. :)

[personal profile] primroseburrows 2009-09-05 02:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I think it would work that way. Although maybe you should add H20 on account of both CKR and Paul Gross are in it? Except if you haven't seen it then you wouldn't want to put it in, right? It's really good, anyway. And then there's Martha Burns who was in dS and S&A and The Trojan Horse and Blindness (with Don McKellar) and erm. But I digress. *g* I would definitely buy one, it'd be awesome.

There are a whole BUNCH of things I haven't seen yet--not enough hours, and stuff.

Also, pimpage:

H20 is magnificent--really, really well done. I can't rec it enough. It helps, though, to read Captain Laura's wonderful "H20 for non-Canadians" Part 1 and Part 2, and print them out for reference during viewing. Seriously, it's one of the big reasons I'm such a dork about Canadian politics. [/dork] Don't be scared, though, you don't have to know everything that's going on to get the coolness of it all (bonus: Pretty much the first person you see is Turnbull. Well, Dean McDermott, anyway). *g*

And definitely, if you make the T-shirt, let us know! :)

I was just editing: Part two has the wrong link. Real one is here.

I don't remember if Dean is the very first person you see, but he's there, like almost immediately.

If you do make a shirt, you'll let us know, right? 'Cause I'm so there. :D
