Hey, rap541 has finished her epic crossover fic 'Going Native' and you should all go read it now if you haven't already. It's got Gaeta as a stray from Star Trek: Next Generation, ending up on Galactica (and saving the day!). It's available on ff.net and on LJ. My knowledge of ST:NG is pretty limited but I found I was able to follow the plot easily anyway.

On a totally unrelated note, Australia is trying to kill us all, as evidenced by this post. The videos posted in the comments are great, too. (I'm torn between feeling terrified and being amused.)

I'm having trouble deciding which Simon Baker icon to snag. Though possibly I should just go watch the most recent episode of The Mentalist rather than staring at icons. I also haven't see Life or 30 Rock or Chuck or... whatever other show has been broadcast in the last week and a half. I did rewatch the pilot episode of Pushing Daisies while I was cleaning the living room.

eta: CBS, you are on my list. I don't want to watch snippets of The Mentalist, I want to watch the whole episode! AUGH!
stupid cbs.com

Have some links. Just because.

WATCH PUSHING DAISIES! I would just say ditto. Also, I'm ordering season one on DVD right now.

Interesting essay about the history of female characters in fiction and how that may impact who our favorite characters are.

An amusing rant about the overuse of the 'Mary Sue' label.

Stuff about The Mentalist: see Simon Baker be smug, tortured and sexy!

picspam from episodes 1-3

BSG: Kara/Sam picspam! *sigh* They're so pretty.

30 Rock: I have nothing even resembling a favorite pair on this show--it's just sheer fun. And I haven't been purposely looking for fic about the show, but some of those Liz/Jack fics by jennyo are absolutely hysterical. There's a list here--I like the first five the best. (Number five is Tracy Jordan's POV... *snickers*)
