salineaI think the Sherlock fandom has managed to mostly spoil most of my enjoyment of the series. Yay.
Also it would be really nice if it stopped spoiling me for the Sherlock Holmes movies grrr (then again given how spoiling happy thye are about Sherlock itself it was probably too much to ask).
Is that Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon's plot in my The Good Wife episode? O_o I have cognitive dissonance.

Wouldn't be surprised if you'd already sorted the Watchmen cast in ASOIAF houses though? XD

Meganphntmgrl: This just ended up leading to an entire GoT AU Sueniverse before I even started reading the books, though for logic’s sake I think we (Ska and I) decided Loki would have been like an acknowledged Lannister bastard or something (because if his dad is any variation on movie!Odin he would have been rescued or something still). And then we realized the Sueniverse cast is mostly Lannisters oh joy.
Me: Thor is so Baratheon tho :p
Meganphntmgrl: yeah but are you really gonna object to Adrian Veidt » Adarian Lannister
Me: … I could see him as Targaryen, alternatively.

Date: 16 January 2012 04:20 pm (UTC)*sighs* I blame tumblr. It's just... not good for spoiler policies.

Date: 16 January 2012 04:24 pm (UTC)Also some of us that are also have other things to do. I got so incredibly mad during the last round of Olympics with people just assuming that everyone was watching the whole thing live and putting giant spoilers outside of cuts and ruining my DVRed recordings I was saving till I had time the next day or the day after. I don't understand what has happened to fandom culture... spoilers used to be so incredibly taboo and now it seems like people just don't care.
That is also one of the reasons I am not on tumblr (well that and the fact that I find it pretty much impossible to follow)

I think you're not supposed to follow tumblr. Just enjoy it present tense; Of course I do anyway, but I have no life.

Date: 16 January 2012 10:02 pm (UTC)Yeah. I find it sort of stressful somehow. Although I did rename the one I made a long time ago to match my LJ/DW and am thinking about looking about it.

Date: 16 January 2012 05:36 pm (UTC)I don't think I/we have sorted the Watchmen cast officially, but I do remember discussing with
(I must say I'm stumped on the others... Dr Manhattan is probably a Targ, sort of Bloodraveny in having transcended his humanity, and Dan feels sort of Tully-ish, but that's about all I've got...)
Going either just by the Thor movie or by the actual Norse myths (since I'm not familiar with the comics), Thor is so totally a Baratheon. He's even got a hammer. *cue

Date: 16 January 2012 05:41 pm (UTC)I think Rorschach could work as a Stannis-esque Baratheon, maybe?
Laurie as Martell maybe? She's got a certain fire and she can keep a grudge.
Greyjoy for the Comedian?

Date: 16 January 2012 06:00 pm (UTC)I was vaguely thinking Martell for Laurie, too, but wasn't sure how to justify it. If you're feeling it too, motion carried.
Rorschach was making me think of Sandor, but that's not quite right. I can definitely see the Stannis in him, sort of the disproportionate response thing, but R feels more chaotic than lawful... He is tough.
