Dalziel and Pascoe Fic Rec
May. 6th, 2020 04:17 pmslashmommy Title: The Last Wetherton Virgin
Author: Clonesgirl
Fandom: Dalziel & Pascoe
Pairing: Andy Dalziel/Peter Pascoe
Commentary: Post episode Above the Law fic. Peter ends up comforted by Dalziel rather than his estranged wife after the end of the episode and then has to deal with the fact that things went in a different way than he expected. Definitely NC-17
Thursday's Gathering is Dalziel and Pascoe
May. 6th, 2020 03:48 pmslashmommyJoin the Social Distance Gathering on Thursday (starting at 1:30pm EST). We'll be watching Dalziel and Pascoe. We'll post the link on Thursday.
Characters:
Andy Dalziel: Something of a dinosaur, old school copper. He has no tact, but he's good at his job.
Peter Pascoe: College-educated, new style police officer. Torn between his college sweetheart/wife who doesn't like the police or that he's become one of THEM and Andy who is his boss/friend/father figure all in one.
Ed Wield: Police Sargent and Andy's two go-to people. We find out in season 3 that he's also gay which is funny considering that in season 2 you are watching and going "oh, he's so slashable with Singh" not knowing what's coming.
Ellie Pascoe: Peter started dating Ellie in college. She's an intellectual and has serious issues with the police. She doesn't trust them and doesn't give them the benefit of the doubt. She marries Peter despite his being a cop, but it doesn't last.
Dalziel & Pascoe Episodes for Thursday
Deadheads: An old friend of Dalziel calls on him for a favor and so Pascoe finds himself investigating someone who is either a mass murderer or has the most amazing luck ever with people dying all around him. The best part of this episode is the introduction of Cadet Singh who is eager to prove himself.
Child's Play: The main plotline is the murder of a gentleman who shows up to claim an inheritance when he's been gone for decades. However, what we care about is the side plot where Sgt. Wield has to come forward as being gay when the young man who he's just met and kinda gotten involved with turns up dead.
On Beulah Height: Main plotline is a missing eight-year-old girl that is reminding everyone of a cold case that happened years before and was also investigated by Dalziel. The subplot is that Pascoe's daughter/Dalziel's goddaughter Rosie has meningitis.
British Grenadier: Dalziel is taken hostage at the pub and no one realizes he's there when they get called in for the case. Lots of Andy Angst.
Cunning Old Fox : One of the fox hunters is killed when gun powder is set off to spook her horse. Dalziel and Pascoe are brought in to investigate. In the background, Peter is in the midst of a divorce and is living with Andy.

slashmommyGotta love this perfectly normal conversation to have with the sister of one of your junior officers...
Fandom of the Week: ST: Discovery
Oct. 23rd, 2019 08:32 amslashmommy Sorry I haven't been posting, but my computer is dying and I don't always have access to post. Anyway, here's hoping I can get stuff up this week.. Our fandom is ... Star Trek Discovery. For those who haven't done the free trials or shelled out:
Surprise, Spock has another never mentioned in the original sibling -- Michael and she's completely human but raised on Vulcan by Sarek and Amanda. We find out that the Vulcan Academy was only willing to take one of Sarek's kids and Sarek decided it should be Spock. Michael went off and joined Starfleet. The series starts with her trying to save everyone by committing mutiny and starting a war -- as you do . If she'd just gone to prison, it would have been a short show. Captain Lorca of the Discovery uses the war as a way to get Michael assigned to his ship. Lots of fighting, war with Klingons, and fake science. The Discovery has Ensign Tilly, Michael's roommate, who is adorkable and Dr. Culber and his husband Lt. Stametz. These two are hideously sweet. Stametz has figured out a way to drive the ship using fungi which I can't explain without you looking at me funny. Anyway, first season you get a number of pairings: Michael/Tilly, Culber/Stametz, Michael/Late Captain Georgiou, Michael/Evil Emperor Georgiou.
Second season is the let's find a mission big enough to bring in Spock and Chris Pike. So now the war is over and we're chasing this weird "Red Angel" that is trying to change the present to fix the end of everything and for some reason it all involves the crew of the Discovery and Spock.
This really isn't doing the series justice, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone who hasn't watched it...
slashmommy Newish / Current Fandom #3: Doom Patrol (Available on DC Universe)
Doom Patrol is DC’s strangest group of outcasts: Robotman (Brendan Fraser), Negative Man (Matt Bomer), Elasti-Woman (April Bowlby) and Crazy Jane (Diane Guerrero). They are led by Dr. Niles Caulder (Timothy Dalton). They are eventually joined by Cyborg (Joivan Wade) and they all fight against Eric Morden (Alan Tudyk)
These aren't the heroes you want, these are the ones you get stuck with. Crazy Jane has multiple personalities and each one has its own powers. Elasti-Woman was a movie starlet who basically got turned into the blob. Negative Man has a strange alien living in him and Robotman, well, he's a human brain put into a robot. These are not people who wanted to become superheroes and yet, here they are.
The show is well written, funny and poignant.
- Larry, played by Matt Bomer, was a military test pilot before being hijacked by an alien. He was married with kids, but he also had a boyfriend on the side who he loved.
- Cliff, aka Robotman, was a Nascar driver who was unhappily married and was attempting to get himself together after his wife left him and the whole family was in an accident. His wife died, for a good chunk of time, he thought his daughter died, and all that Niles was able to save of him was his brain. He's mentally there, but everything is a rather junky looking robot. There's even a whole plotline about a rat getting into him and sending him haywire.
- There are great recurring characters as well like Danny the Street - a sentient, genderqueer, teleporting street who is on the run from the Bureau of Normalcy and there is Willoughby Kipling (Mark Sheppard) who shows up a couple of times (and hopefully more to come) . Sheppard described Willoughby at Dragon Con as a cross between Mad Eye Moody and Constantine.
Pimping a Newish Fandom: Fic Rec
Oct. 15th, 2019 09:53 pmslashmommyI prefer Amos/Alex, but there is a growing amount of Prax/Amos out there (Prax joined the crew in third season). Anyway, here is a fic rec for the show based on season three. It is Amos excited to go visit his friend Prax and Alex being quietly jealous. : ) https://archiveofourown.org/works/20406043
slashmommyThe actors who play my favorite two characters (Alex and Amos) talk about their characters and the relationship between their characters.
slashmommyNewish/Current Fandom #2: The Expanse
How to boil this down... Set in the future (I'm not sure how far, but Earth has colonized Mars and it has already become independent, and the two planets are basically in a cold war. Caught between these two are the people of the asteroid belt and outer planets - the Belters. Belters have worked and lived in space for so long that they have physically adapted to it.), this is a giant space opera. First season, we start with a mystery of what happened to this girl, Julie, who went missing and throughout we find out about a proto-molecule which is some form of alien life-form which is secretly being experimented with. Second season continues the first season plot line through the political intrigue of Mars govt, Earth govt, and the OPA (Belter version of the IRA). Third Season, we find out that we didn't manage to get rid of the proto-molecule and the struggle continues. It's really hard to describe... If you like dark, space opera, you'll like this one. It has a fourth season coming out in December on Amazon Prime. I saw a bunch of the cast at Dragon Con and knew I wanted to check it out. The seasons aren't huge so it is an easy one to catch up on.

slashmommyStill on the Boys. This is from the first episode. It's Huey and Butcher fighting Translucent (no, this isn't them killing him, yet) who has carbonized skin that makes him invisible and impervious to most things...
