Fandom Rambles & Fannish Friday 5 - Crossover Pairings

I've finished my re-watch of all 5 seasons of Andromeda. Even though the fifth season was kind of crappy, the ending makes up for it. Sort of. This is another show where I love the characters so much that I can forgive the fact that a lot of it is crap. Well, the last season anyway. 

Now I'm starting on Stargate SG-1. I re-watched the movie first and I just finished the two hour pilot episode. SG-1 isn't a re-watch for me. I've seen a few episodes here and there but that's it. 

I also just finished up the DVDs of the Third Doctor, now I'm onto the Fourth Doctor. At least I'm not likely to find any more pairings I want to read fic for during the fourth Doctor's serials. Why? Because I don't like Tom Baker. *ducks and runs* I will be very happy when I finally get to the Fifth Doctor.

This weeks Fannish Friday 5 is an interesting one, but I've been having difficulty coming up with 5 crossovers.

Crossover relationships: Match five characters with their soulmates - from another fandom.

Here's what I came up with. Not that I consider them soulmates, but they would be interesting to read.

Jack Harkness/Methos (Torchwood/Highlander)

Dylan Hunt/Malcom Reynolds (Andromeda/Firefly)

Kerr Avon/Seamus Harper (Blakes 7/Andromeda)

Vila Restal/Amanda (Blakes 7/Highlander)

Dr. Daniel Jackson/Rupert Giles (Movie!Stargate/Buffy)

There is Jack/Methos fic out there, but as far as I know the other pairings here haven't been written.

Top 10 Doctor Who Episodes???

found this via kathyh

The Telegraph has done a list of  The 10 greatest episodes of Doctor Who ever. There is quite a bit wrong with their list. There are no Troughton era stories, The Massacre of St Bartholomew's Eve is the Hartnell era episode and Inferno is the Pertwee era episode on the list. And to top it off there is a McCoy era episode on the list. Not surprisingly the Tom Baker era has the most serials listed (3). There is one Peter Davison era story, one story from the ninth doctor and two from the tenth doctor.


Now as I said earlier, I haven't seen the 4-8th Doctors yet but even so there are definitely episodes missing from the list and a few that shouldn't be there.

The Dead Planet would be a much better serial from the first Doctor.

Where are the Troughton era serials? If nothing else War Games should be there. (No I haven't seen it, but I know what it's about and what happens). The Evil of the Daleks or The Invasion would be good ones to add as well.

I liked Doctor Who and the Silurians better than Inferno, but maybe that's just me.

Now I'm going to skip to the ninth and tenth Doctor.

Dalek (to me) is a better choice than The Empty Child/The Doctor Dances. 

Army of Ghosts/Doomsday makes more sense to have on the list than Human Nature/Family of the Blood.

While Blink was a good episode Planet of the Ood is better.
