I'm almost done with season one. One more post after this, and then I must wait for season 2 to air in September. I'm so excited.

ETA: I went ahead and finished. Season 1 is done!

Fandoms: Stargate: SG-1, Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Characters/Pairings: Jack O'Neill, Teal'c, Sam Carter, Daniel Jackson, Sarah Connor, Cameron, John Connor
Rating: Gen
Length: 1886
Creator Links: cofax on AO3
Themes: Working together, Action/adventure, Crossover, Time travel, Teams, Robots and Androids

Summary: SG-1 meets a very intense woman with two heavily-armed teenagers in a warehouse in Modesto.

Reccer's Notes: A short fic about Sarah Connor's team helping Jack's team while on a mission in the past, dealing with a Terminator. Gripping action - and an intriguing and worrying AU in terms of the future of this crossover Earth. As Jack says: "That's just ... great." (Need to log in to AO3 to read it)

Fandom: Doctor Who
Pairings/Characters: Twelve/Missy/Jack
Rating: M
Length: 11,681 words
Creator Links: Trobadora
Theme: Working Together, time travel

Summary: This is what it takes to hold together what has been sheared apart.
Or: The Doctor, Jack Harkness and Missy encounter a weapon from the Time War.

Reccer's Notes: Jack visits the Doctor to berate him for releasing the Master from the vault. While he's there, something terrible is happening to time itself. The Doctor and Missy have to work together with Jack's help to stabilize their timeline. The author does such a great job showing you these little snippets of possible timelines, and giving you just enough that you want to know more. There is a sex scene between the three of them, but it makes sense in the context of story, and is about so much more than just sex. If you like Twelve and Missy and have always wanted to see what it would have been like to throw Jack into the mix, then please read this one.

I'd like to point out that I first used the dw tag "zachary quinto owns me forever" in 2009. And I'm still using it. I mean, in fandom years, that's pretty much forever. Is this tag longevity due to my loyal and consistent personality? Or is it due to the fact that ZQ is...ZQ, and he has not decreased in hotness since I first used the tag? 🤷🏼‍♂️

Anyway, I added to the shirt catalogue. I'm updating at ao3, too.

Also, I made myself a Brilliant Minds icon. It's not great. If you have photoshop skills and make me a better one, you'll make me a really happy dog.

As you all know...I am obsessed with Brilliant Minds, and, in particular, Oliver's shirts. (That is Zachary Quinto for the uninitiated.) I had this idea to create a catalogue of the shirts, and...I started! I'm not an artist, so these are...simple. But the idea is to track color and mood over the episodes. The costume and production design on this show are A+. They do a lot with showing emotional states with the characters' clothing.

Here it is at ao3.

I'm updating as I color/draw the shirts for each ep.

( You can also look at the the ones I've done here. )

Theme: Working together, outsider POV

Summary:

"Inspection order number 324867: USS Enterprise

Serial number: NCC-1701-A
Ship Class: Constitution
Ship Claim: Starfleet
Ship Membership: United Federation of Planets

Captain James T. Kirk in command.
Commander S'chn T'gai Spock: First/Chief Science Officer
Doctor Leonard "Bones" McCoy: CMO
Commander Montgomery "Scotty" Scott: Chief Engineer
Lieutenant Nyota Uhura: Chief Communications Officer
Lieutenant Hikaru Sulu: Pilot
Ensign Pavel Chekov: Navigator

Inspector Assigned: Lieutenant Jessie Bellamy

End of Transmission"

Reccer's Notes: Lt. Jessie Bellamy performs her first inspection of a Starfleet ship, and she gets the Enterprise in all its chaotic, rulebreaking glory. She's just trying to do her job, but the ship and crew are so far outside the rules that she's having trouble even fitting them into the standards for inspection.

When you read a lot of Star Trek fic, you start to normalize all the wild and irresponsible shit that goes on. This fic provides the perspective of someone who is supposed to evaluate how well the crew are following the rules, and it's fantastic. Lt. Bellamy has to stay on the ship for the duration of the inspection, work with the crew, and survive some of the scrapes the Enterprise gets into. It's hilarious and wonderful.

That I haven't seen anyone else mention.

ONE.
I like that they cast an older actor. AS is closing in on 50, and it might be a Hollywood 50, but he looks like he's seen some miles along the road. It makes things hit different than if they'd cast a thirty year old who looked like they just hatched. I know they compressed the timespan in the show, but in the book it'd been something in the range of four years between when it disabled its governor module and the start of All Systems Red, plus however long it'd been enslaved before that, which it doesn't even really remember. Which I think is better represented by someone with some lines around their eyes.

TWO.
Nenya speculated about if they were going to do the later books (and I think they'll do three seasons to cover the first four novellas, combining Artificial Condition and Rogue Protocol into the second season, and then call it a day), and if so, if we'd see the ship from System Collapse. I'd been thinking that, actually, ( mild spoiler for System Collapse )

Summary: Five things that happen on missions where SG-1 and SGA-1 go through the gate together.

Reccer's Notes: A great example of the 5-things format - five dramatic, telling, and sometimes amusing times when members of the premium gate teams of Earth and Atlantis worked together. The last one's an absolute classic!

Summary: the flagship may not be all it's cracked up to be

Reccer's Notes: Have you ever wondered what it's like to work with a commanding officer who has zero judgment when it comes to the captain and who does shit like almost kill him while under the influence of Vulcan mating hormones? Or how about working under a captain who has zero judgment when it comes to his first, and is always doing shit like risking his life and the ship to save his first's life? This short song captures what that must be like. It's the little things like trying to get your damn performance review submitted to Starfleet.

I'm not super into filk, but this one is well-written, with fun rhymes and nice progression from beginning to end. It'll put a smile on your face.
