Right now, I'm scheduled to be on the following panels:
Torchwood 3
The polarizing effect of Gwen Cooper-Williams
Primeval: where Spy will be asking if ITV has been taken over by suit-wearing monkeys. (My own subtitle)
I may or may not be on the following panels:
The myth of Fandom tolerance (not sure what's happening there, but I'll probably be on this one, but don't want to say for sure, until I get confirmation).
Donna Noble: Still made of awesome (I have a feeling this one may be my fault I'm not on it, if I'm not.)
Either way, whether I'm on five panels or 3, it doesn't really matter. The announcement that Torchwood should be airing the week of July 4th means that my goal of making it the BEST!ATTENDED!POLARIS!PANEL!EVER! is actually a possibility.
Top five reasons I'm looking forward to Polaris this year.

seanchaidh. I'll even be on panels with them (and enkanowen )! (I am still trying to convince elysium1996 & Mr. Ely to come north of the border! I'm also hoping takhys might come and bring along lokabrenna -- as there are art contests, lokabrenna!) I am planning to drag everyone to the video room to throw popcorn, randomly at nexstarman , because that would amuse me, as long as
indefatigable42 was in on the plan. My BFF, travellingone will also be there but she'll probably be a lot like snuffalupagus: almost impossible to find, while others insist she just went that way, talking on the headset! bubbleslayer, seanchaidh and myself may need to devise a plan, probably involving mojitos, to kidnap her. (If you're going to Polaris and I haven't mentioned you, remind me so that I can squee appropriately.)
The opening ceremonies: I wrote them and got at least one of my dream casting. I also got to vet the announcers and will be looking for sound. When I post a "where do I find this sound effect" post, I hope people can help!
The Primeval Panel: I expect people to bring their own trees to climb, and stay there, indefinitely. I will also have the 2 foot stuffed dino with me from the opening ceremonies (and no, you don't get to find out what that 2 foot dino is for!)
The Torchwood Panel: see my BEST!ATTENDED!POLARIS!PANEL!EVER! plan.
The Contests: After coming second in the really, really, short writing contest last year (one recipe card in size) I'm inspired to do another one.

There hasn't been one for a while, so I would like to start with an extra special quote:
"The unicorn jumped into the bathtub where I am about to put epsom salts."
Times two!
"So much for land fish, unicorn is the way to go now."
Now times three!
"How am I managing to cut my own toenails right now?"

Since all of my shows are currently taking a break, I'm going to pimp a few of the shows recapped by Recapist that I think are worth the read. I'm only pimping recaps I've actually read -- but Recapist has a ton of shows to offer.
Of course, I recap Doctor Who, Numb3rs, Primeval and Torchwood (including the radio play!). If you haven't read them yet, give them a try. (I will be recapping Dollhouse whenever that filming train wreck makes it into the station. I hope it'll live up to the hype.) Heck, someone from a site bigger than ours thought the Torchwood recaps were worth trying to plagiarize so I must be doing something right. Random point: I do have a thing for British Sci-Fi, don't I? Unfortunately, the icon of awesome that is Sarah Jane Smith, intimidates me too much to take on her part of the Whoniverse.
My BFF,travellingone , who once covered for me with Torchwood, only to find herself enmeshed in the plagiarism issue when the same unnamed site tried to copy her recap, (and she once stole my voice another of my recaps for Doctor Who -- "Midnight") covers Life on Mars (US). If you've not seen this little show, after a bumpy start, it's actually turning out quite nicely. Unfortunately, there are big shoes and skinny pants for it to fill when it comes to the UK counterpart. You can catch up on the show thus far by reading the recaps. (Plus, she let me play in her sandbox and cover an episode while she was in Paris.)
anniemoon , aka Annie, my former boss at Fandom Talk and lovely all-round person who gave me my first chance at recapping, covers CSI. She's another one who is so good, people literally copy and paste her recaps elsewhere. (They shouldn't do that, and the foot of Buzznet will come down on their heads.) She also recaps So You Think You Can Dance, and I'm highly disappointed she didn't cover the Canadian version of it. She would've had a blast with Nico's fauxhawk.
Ran Cansley recaps her beloved Friday Night Lights. If you don't know about her love for that show, you haven't even heard of Ran Cansley. She also covers Survivor and has way more patience for those who inflict themselves with starvation, looking like an idiot and flashing the continent while no one notices (initially), than I ever could. I haven't watched the show in four years, but I love the recaps.
Gemma is our wittle baby recapper and she's totally taken over Supernatural. She snarks way beyond her years. She also covers The Mentalist, and I make a point to stop by her recaps every week. She and I share a love of Patrick Jane and all his perfect hair goodness. Gemma's also just started Leverage. It's a new show (and set of recaps) that needs pimping.
Nova A covers Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and she shares the same frustration with the bloody ellipsis that I do. I mean a literal bloody ellipsis.
Jane St. Clair has an unfortunate habit of recapping great shows that get cancelled. Case in point: Pushing Daisies. The only show not currently suffering this trend is Chuck. My relief when she took over this show was palpable. I love me my Chuck Bartowski and the Nerd Herd.
BTW, did you know you can become a fan of The Recapist on Facebook? Seriously, go become a fan if you like the snark.
Here's a challenge to my F-list: link to a set of recaps on your journal you think people should go and check out. It can be a show listed here, or something completely different. Holidays are coming and we all need some laughs to get through the craziness. Let your F-lists know where the funny is.

The recap for Life On Mars "The Man Who Sold The World" is up over at Recapist.
Hmm, I wonder who makes a guest appearance in that recap? Oh wait, me.

My BFF, travellingone , has been doing recaps for Life on Mars (US) for Recapist. If you watch the show and haven't read them yet, why not?
On another note, in you aren't watching Live on Mars, the US version, perhaps this will convince you. I present, the greatest moment on television this month; Sam Tyler doing his version of "Ice Ice Baby."
It might even be better then Jensen Ackles' "Eye of a Tiger." I'm just saying.

Because of my BFF pimping me (My Torchwood recaps! Let me be specific!), hee! I love you, BFF!
Most promising suggestion for the new partnership or Liz and Nikki is Annie Oakley and Calamity Jane. I figuredfamously_fruity would approve. It's the most promising but I'm sort of hoping for a Larry-like eureka moment when I see a suggestion. (Hopefully, I won't be in the bath at the time I have it. My computer doesn't function well while wet.)
elysium1996 , might I suggest extra Halloween candy to add to your arsenal? Seriously, that stuff is evil and we'd be so full of chocolate that you could take over and we'd all be meh about it.

travellingone is being more careful with what she says. I thought I was going to have a great random travellingone quote when she said, "Well, I was in the mood to take my clothes off," then she ruined it with, "to try on some other clothes."She did say later, "I think I'm pretty awesome."

First time one covers someone else's show for a recap. I did Travellingone's Lif e on Mars.
And a few pictures of John Simm might have made it in at some point.

I have decided to take over your vacation. Please refer to the following itinerary.
October 7: Relax. It's your first day in London. Do not look for a deep-fried Mars Bars. Ever. Go for a walk. When you run into David Tennant, give him my phone number.
Oct 8: Go shopping. When you run into David Tennant again, remind him to call me.
Oct 9: Go to the V&A. Enjoy all the history in the V&A. Go to a pub -- but check if there's a match on first.
Oct 10: Sleep in. Due something typically touristy. You are a tourist.
Oct 11: SHOPPING!!!!!!! Again, should you run into David Tennant again, remind him he hasn't called me.
Oct 12: Go to a cathedral. You may not be overly religious, but they have some big old cathedrals there and this is Sunday. Remember, that your best friend is celebrating the worst day of her life on this day. Therefore, it would be great for her to get a phone call from David Tennant on that day.
Oct. 13: It's Monday. Go to the tower of London. Fewer tourists on Monday.
October 14. You have been invited to a thing. Go to whatever that thing is. BTW, that thing is in Cardiff. It will take two days for that thing to be finished.
Oct. 16: Meet your mother and go to Paris. Check into the hotel.
Oct 17: Morning: Sit in a cafe, drink coffee and eat a pastry. This will take you three hours as you will be constantly distracted by hot Parisian men. After that, sit in a cafe for lunch. Repeat for dinner. See a trend?
Oct. 18: SHOPPING! Buy something ridiculously expensive. Also, remember your BFF's birthday was last week.
Oct 19: Go stare at the Eiffel Tower. Do not think of TomKat. Walk along the river. Do not step in dog shit. Paris is famous for the dog shit.
Oct. 20: Go do something touristy. You are a tourist. It is your choice whether you do this alone.
Oct. 21: Morning scavenger hunt: Meet one Pierre, one Jean and one Phillipe. Give them the phone number of your kind friends. Afternoon: come back to London via the Chunnel. Enjoy the freak out in the Chunnel. Relish it. When you get back into London and run into David Tennant for the last time, remind him that he's had no lasting success with blondes and you have a great brunnette BFF.
Oct 22: Fly home. Sleep all the way.

I may be offline for a day or two until my computer comes back from being fixed. As ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
travellingone is heading home shortly, I will soon be a home without a computer. I mean, what kind of best friend leaves someone computer-less? All she'd have to do is leave her laptop for a few days.
For some reason, she doesn't see things my way.

And that concludes day one of Polaris 22.

Due to school completely pressuring me and sending me into a stressball, this week's Torchwood recap will be done by my BFF, travellingone. Please, if you watch Torchwood, go over to Recapist some time after 10 tonight and leave her all sorts of wonderful comments.
Plus, if you really like it, feel free to pimp it like Heidi Fleiss.

travellingone. Now, of course it's awesome, because it's written by her, but why does this one get such special attention.
