Fannish Osmosis Meme!

[paraka]

I've been participating in meme's on other people's journals lately, so I thought it was time to do one on mine. And also distract from some of the unhappy podfic things going on lately. So.

Give me a fandom and I'll tell you what I think I know and you can tell me how right/wrong I am.

Ohh I really didn't think I got the spy-thing right, go me!

I feel more confident about Sentinel, but I have seen a few episodes of it, so that helps.

Jim is a military guy who gets left in a jungle for a while and his senses get super honed and he becomes a Sentinel. Blair is, like, an anthropologist or something who's heard about Sentinels and decides he's going to be Jim's guide. So he's trying to help Jim deal with his super senses so he can function like a normal person, but still use his super powers to help him solve crimes, which he (Jim) does because he's a cop.

I only got a few episodes in, but I've been told that in the second season or something they get spirit animals?

Oh yes...and they merge and all!!! But that's pretty much all that you'd need to read fic :) [and that's really the most important thing, right???]

Hmm..I'm trying to think of my smaller fandoms....

OZ!!!! (Or should i throw out my latest obsession, GenKill? :)

[paraka]

Oh man, I tried watching Oz and failed out at the episode where... I want to call him Toby, but I could be completely wrong there, broke the glass window and went for the Aryan's eyes. :S That's when I started having nightmares and decided it wasn't worth it.

So, GenKill. It's about soldiers and... actually, I think that's all I got. I'm assuming they're fighting something, for something, but I couldn't even tell you that. (apparently I suck at osmosis. /o\)

You did fine om the big fannish ones :) If you know B7, starsky and Hutch, Pro, Sentinel, and DS, you're pretty good omn the slash front.

Oh, remembe Quantum leap? And what's your favorite ST spinoff? (I'm a DS9 girl myself, though New Gen certainly marred me for life :)

[FWIW, it's operation Iraqui Freedom and the main character (the reporter who embedded and wrote the book and the show has as much of a crush on him as does fandom) is Erik from True Blood!!!]

Gah, sorry, I think I missed your response because I was distracted with the chain below. :S

Quantum Leap... god, all I'm thinking of is Sliders, I think they were slightly similar? Jumping from dimension to dimension?

Of the ST shows, the only one I really watched was Next Gen, but I was like 10 at the time? The one I'm most fannish over is the reboot movie.
