Miracle Worker Opening Night

  • Mar. 15th, 2010 at 12:06 PM
Jennifer Morrison's play, the broadway revival of The Miracle Worker, opened earlier this month. Despite being highly reviewed, the show isn't selling too well. Oh, well. It's fate hasn't been decided yet! How about some opening night photos? Our girl Jen made an, um, unfortunate fashion choice for the red carpet + after party.





You're a beautiful lady, Jennifer Morrison. Why you do this?

Red Carpet + Curtain Call )

Here, have a sample of the show.

Last week the NYC GQMFs had a Snarky Bingo Oscar Party. I almost bust a gut reading their Bingo card. LOL

Even if you didn't take any pictures, please feel free to recount the awesomeness of meeting with other GQMF's, any funny conversations or accidental meeting of other Star Trek geeks fans. lol

Do it!

Nightmare at 20,000 Feet

  • Mar. 14th, 2010 at 11:41 PM
Last night, Saturday Night Live parodied William Shatner's classic episode of "The Twilight Zone," Nightmare at 20,000 Feet, with Jude Law as Shatner. The original with Shatner is hilarious to begin with, this one is...actually not too far off from that. Law does a pretty decent Shatner.



The original, for those who haven't seen it )

But where is Spock!Barbie?

  • Mar. 14th, 2010 at 9:52 PM
So GQMFs, how do you feel about....Ken!Kirk?

Okay, so he's not actually related to Star Trek in any way, but the minute I saw the eyebrows, I knew. What say you, GQMFs? Is this guy BAMF enough to save the universe?



For realsies found this in a list of the 20 gayest Ken dolls. Appropriate y/n?

Favourite Dollhouse crossover fic?

  • Mar. 15th, 2010 at 11:01 AM
Over at [info]buffyquestions our weekly question is asking what is your favourite crossover fanfic from any Whedonverse fandom (Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Dollhouse or Dr. Horrible)? Got a favourite Dollhouse crossover fic? Then come on over and rec it!
Title: You Will Not Laugh At Survivorman
Rating PG-13 for sexytimes
Characters: Adelle DeWitt, Laurence Dominic
Disclaimer: Nope, I do not own Dollhouse. And I never will.
Words: 6, 658
Spoilers: None
Summary: As the plane spirals out of control, the only thought running in Adelle DeWitt’s mind is that they were all going to die a fiery, horrible death.

Notes: I blame Discovery Channel for this. Might be extremely fluff, or maybe just... fluffy. Heh. This can be taken as a pre-1x09 fic or an AU fic wherein 1x09 never happened. lol.

She hasn’t gone camping since she was seven, and for good reason—her older cousins left her in the woods after telling her stories of mummified pygmies snatching campers from their tents and eating them.

Title: Fractured Promises

Chapter: 1 (out of 2 or 3)

Fandom: Dollhouse, Angel
Rating: PG
Characters: Fred & Topher (Friendship), other characters from both 'verses.
Warning: A Dollhouse-Angel Crossover Fic; spoilers for all of Dollhouse and Angel: After the Fall.

Story Summary: When the Dollhouse needs their lawyers, Wolfram & Hart, two scientific geniuses meet.

A/N: This story festered in my brain until I just had to write it. By being a crossover between a sci-fi world and a fantasy world, technically it's a crack!fic, but I have done my best to make it as un-cracky as possible. Think of it as a circular peg fitting into a square hole who's edge is the exact same distance as the circle's diameter; it fits well enough, even if there are some gaping holes (the corners).

Say Hey, Gaila

  • Mar. 14th, 2010 at 8:45 PM
How about a little Gaila on your lazy Sunday night? Rachel Nichols attended the benefit for the FEED Foundation/Hungry In America project put on by Vanity Fair about two weeks ago. I love her coy little smile.

Hey, pretty.

So what's next for the Orion? Well, IMDB lists her as one of the leads in the Damon Lindelof written Ollie Klublershturf vs the Nazis also starring daddy!Kirk, Chris Hemsworth. Honestly, that breaks my brain a little. Here's to hoping that film finishes and finds a distributor because I'm hella curious. The description says it's a comedic tale of meeting the parents and... time travel?

Lawyers in Star Trek (Gasp Shock Horror!)

  • Mar. 14th, 2010 at 5:31 PM

So yes, an absolute horror - worse than the Klingon's, Romulans, any other evil alien race you care to mention ... but I beg to disagree!

Here's an article from the University of Toledo's Law Review in 1992, which critically examines the law of the Federation in "Star Trek: The Next Generation". Personally, I find the fact that they published this article so incredibly geek worthy (and not just because I'm doing law and am a Star Trek fan), but it is an actual analysis of how law is portrayed within Star Trek :D

http://tarlton.law.utexas.edu/lpop/etext/joseph-carton.htm

Hope you enjoy!

P.S. I know we should put the actual articles on the post itself, but it IS 47 pages long - I hope I'm forgiven :D

The Good: Australia is first to recognise 'non-specified' gender

The Bad: Okay, so this is just one person's opinion, but if it's true...Was Johnny Weir not asked to participate in "Stars on Ice" because he is too gay?

And then I needed to find something to be "ugly" because you can't just leave that at good and bad, but this is the best I've got at the moment: The Ottawa Senators lost so badly to the Canucks last night that one article said the Senators welcomed the Canucks back after 42 days away by playing like a red carpet and getting walked over. Why, boys, why? You had a 10-GAME WINNING STREAK earlier this season, so why is this shit happening? (Not that I don't love the Canucks and think they're an excellent team, but...my poor Sens.)

To make matters worse, the Toronto Maple Leafs beat the Edmonton Oilers, too. I don't really care about the Oilers, but I sort of hope that the Leafs lose every game they ever play (gotta love those old-school rivalries, right?).

A Fantastic Voyage-sized USS Enterprise

  • Mar. 13th, 2010 at 11:42 PM
Not totally sure this is news since it happened in 2003, but it is awesome nonetheless.  Some GQMF's made a one-billionth scale model of the Enterprise.  FOR SCIENCE.



"This Starship Enterprise NCC-1701D of Star Trek was fabricated by Takayuki Hoshino & Shinji Matsui, in one-billionth scale by 30 kV Ga+ focused-ion- beam CVD using phenanthrene gas for the The 47th International Conference on Electron, Ion and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication Bizarre/Beautiful Micrograph Contest back in 2003, which is the equivalent couple of centuries in internet years, or one dog year for people who keep track of things in dog years. The model measures a mere 8.8 micrometers long. (There are 1000 micrometers in 1 millimeter)"
