The joys of Metaquotes

[dianeduane]

Today’s delights from LJ's Metaquotes community:

• Deep Ones! Meet the Deep Ones! / They're a rugose, squamous familyyyyy…
  
• "...OH CHRIST WHO LET JOKER HAVE PENCILS!?"
  
• ...In these days "batshit" literally meant the shit of bats, and flame wars were conducted via snail mail or newspaper editorials.

And:

• Trek and Stargate: kindred under the skin

Your html, it is borked all to hell.

Mmm, yes, spectacular, don't know how that happened... Better now, though.

Reminds me of Where the Deep Ones Are...

The batman one is a classic! And the Trek/SG is totally spot-on. I remember another Trek rant about how the continuations decreased in quality. However, the author doesn't care as long as (something along the lines of) "Diane Duane keep writing the Original Star Trek series books" ;P

Wow. That Trek & Stargate comparison is spot on. I'm a fan of both shows universes, and they really nailed it.

Ditto. Spooky, innit?

As for Meet the Deep Ones, I was thinking "But what do you do for the cry of "Wiiilllllmmmaaaa!" at the end. Then of course, I recalled Wilbur...

Rugose AND squamous at the same time. That's got to be uncomfy.

Huh. The Trek/Gate comparasion always seemed obvious to me... Maybe I just watch too much of both?

I mean, heck, on more of a microcosmic level -- beaming, the fact that the Prometheus's bridge syncs up pretty close with the Enterprise's... I always just attributed it to the notion that the SG writers are probably nerds who've seen a lot of ST.

On a totally unrelated note, every time Teal'c does something with his eyebrows, I think he'd make a pretty darn good Vulcan.
