Come on, help drag me out of my crazy. Meme me, kids, meme me.

I love looking at people's icons, but I don't always *get* them - I often wonder stuff like, "Who's that guy?" or "Where's that quote from?" but I tend not to ask, for various reasons. So come on, here are my icons. Pick one (or more!) you're curious about, and I'll try to explain it. Or at least explain what I like about it.

I think I understand most of them. Apart from the csi ones since I don't watch so... this one.

Holly. Dear Holly. In the pilot episode of CSI, a new recruit called Holly Gribbs starts work at CSI. As Holly moves around the lab on her first day, the new audience sees everything through her eyes, meets the team, gets to understand the procedure and the situations. Holly has doubts about whether she can cope as a CSI, but Catherine talks her in to staying. At the end of the pilot, Holly is at a crime scene trying to solve her first case, when the shooter comes back to the scene and attacks her. She goes in to surgery, but she doesn't make it. Sometimes, I feel like it's my first day.

that's clever. sounds a good way to start the show. yet sad. kind of like killing quinn of so quickly in Angel.

Yeah, it was pretty cool, in a sad sort of way. Not quite so sad as Doyle though, as it was done deliberately, not for RL reasons, and because we didn't have quite so much time to bond with Holly as we did with Doyle. But yeah, it worked well, I think.

of course, also sounds like buffy's quote in welcome to the hellmouth. did you think of that quote when you made it? I can hear sarah michelle gellar in my head saying 'it's my first day.. I didn't think there'd be vampires on campus.'

I didn't think of it at all consciously. That's pretty cool though. Crossing fandom divides and all that *g*

i probably wouldn't have thought of it so quickly either, but i watched my season 1 dvds in january so... ;)

I haven't seen season 1 for ages, but I guess it could have been at the back of my mind somewhere. Or maybe Joss and I are just on the same wavelength .. ;)

so csi is your new crack then? Considering how many icons you have for it now and posts about it. I don't watch but I'm kind of curious, you still get involved a lot in Buffy fandom, or is that going to the side to make way for csi?

Kind of considering how I operate myself with fandoms. Enterprise being my crack and it's over soon so..

CSIs been my crack for a while really. Buffy is the comfortable pot I smoke when I want to mellow out and do something I feel totally safe with, but CSI is the one I do for kicks. Although I don't actually write CSI fic yet, and there's not really much to read, but I love the show, even though it's now (season 5) not as good as it was. Buffy's still around, definitely, but no one really seems to be reading it anymore, so it's hard work to keep writing it when there's next to no fb to motivate me, you know?

You could definitely give CSI a try. Go back to season 1 and work through it maybe, if you could borrow or rent it on DVD. Failing that, I'm sure you'll find a new fandom to love. Maybe that Numb3rs show that seems so popular at the moment, or Lost, or maybe the next show DK gets hired for. Who knows. These things are so hard to predict.

I used to be able to fall into shows really easily, now I'm more strict. Must watch in order, from the beginning. So if I was going to I would watch season one rather than launch in somewhere. I did watch some csi miami, for pure kicks, I don't know why, lol. I haven't really fallen into something that's more or less detective work since diagnosis murder. euch.

I would like to see Lost, if it comes to the UK. I would watch Point Pleasant, but I never realised it had started. House is quite appealing too for comedy value. And yeah, I'll watch anything and everything with DK in it, no matter how crap, I mean, I endured The Immortal and Lorenzo Lameass for him ;)But then, he was the only one in it who could act so it was worth it for those moments.

It's tough to really think of new shows worth watching. I think I'll just end up slipping more into Atlantis fandom. But it's strange, because it's linked with SG1, it's like going back to that somehow, and SG1, I still watch etc, but the fandom is too scary to really contemplate.
