The War Of The Worlds

A period adaptation of The War Of The Worlds, coming soon from the BBC, starring Rafe Spall, Robert Carlyle, and Eleanor Tomlinson.

Not the most practical outfit for running from Martian war machines in...

Nice weather for going around museums and galleries.

The mysterious retro 50s model

Who is possibly also the Maggie Tang model...

Discord is down. :(

Amok, amok, amok!

What if there was... more Hocus Pocus?

A Very New Outlook Cover

You wake up one morning to find yourself living a different life. A new face, a new form...

Yesterday you were Joe Nobody... now you're a society girl!

How did it happen? Is this a blessing or a curse? Can you get back? Do you want to?

A Halloween trick, or maybe a treat, by WB and Beatrice Black

A job I've always wanted...

Ah, my favorite thing about historical documentaries about palaces, pointless reenactment bits with ladies in big dresses walking around gardens.

2010

Attempt no landings here!

Happy Autumn!

(Or Spring in the southern hemisphere!)

A Bold And Sassy Heart

A TG caption story series from Miss Simone.

24,000 posts on Elliquiy

That's quite a lot.

Plan for RP still being negotiated...

Maddie Teeuws

Maddie Teeuws, star of WB's next RP.

Pan Am

Mad Men didn't result in many copycat shows, being a slow-burn character study that reveled in the awfulness of the era it was set in, but the "fancy 50s and 60s outfits" element did result in a few series, notably the soapy-as-anything Pan Am, starring Christina Ricci and a not-famous-yet Margot Robbie and David Harbour. The opening two-parter included the heroic Pan Am crew helping an evacuation, one of the stewardesses becoming a spy...

Thanks to WB for the reminder!

Stewardess... in... SPAAAAACE

2001: A Blog Odyssey

Stewardesses... In... SPAAAACE!

For Pan-Am, of course...

2000 posts!

Backdating so I have something every day will do that, I guess!

Shall we play a game...?

Looks like my offer to do an actual group system RP on Elliquiy has paused due to the initial requester taking time off. Dunno if it was going to work anyway.

And no, it wasn't going to be about gender TF.

Well, maybe one episode.

Friday The 13th

On a full moon, no less.

And apparently the 50th anniversary of Scooby-Doo!

Hard to believe it's been eighteen years.

.

Flouncy...

Watching a series on royal palaces, envying the pointless reenactment extras' costumes.

Where did all this weather come from?

Star Trek

It's Star Trek Day, the 53rd anniversary of the US premiere.

And yes, I bring up Turnabout Intruder a lot. But to be different...

The diverse, inclusive future is one I love. A chance to be better.

The Deep Space Nine anniversary documentary What We Left Behind notes some of diversity representation it did well, and showrunner Ira Steven Behr admits that queer representation wasn't really one.

Risa was less overtly queer-friendly than it might have been, as this article notes.

And then there was, as Pride.com puts it, an accidental transgender episode.

Having a nice weekend!

Olivia Holt

For A Marriage Of Inconvenience again.

Though she may end up in this, this time...

Alicia Vikander

Tulip Fever and The Man From UNCLE have my favorite Alicia Vikander looks, though...

And photoshoots, obviously.

Shadow Of The Tomb Raider maybe?

Hey, another Alicia Vikander Tomb Raider movie, cool. (With Ben Wheatley directing, presumably after getting into action making Free Fire.)

We do what we can.

I prefer marching protests to demonstration protests. More singing.

Serious bodyswaps

Serious bodyswaps are pretty rare already, serious TG bodyswaps are... well, there's Turnabout Intruder, the final episode of original Star Trek which doesn't play the idea for laughs (or for Kirk/Spock emotional confusion) and... um...

September

Or Septembrrr apparently.
