Greetings!
I never formally introduced myself did I?
Well, I'm Rosie but you can call me Rose... I started watching Stargate SG-1 last year and the year before - 2012 on Pick TV after watching the movie on 5* and it was moving too slow, by the time they were on season 4, we owned half the seasons.
I've watched SGU, SGA and I think SG-1 is by far the best.
I recently downloaded the free trial of Unleashed and can't stop playing it! This, next year, will be my first Chevron and I can't wait!
Oh, and my favourite actor is Shanks, and my favourite she-actor is Claudia Black. I think that's about it!
I am going to start cosplaying as Vala and Aeryn as well as i have watched and enjoyed each and every single season of Farscape, too! I own and love the Peacekeeper Wars, too. But I can't help but feel as if my journey is over and i have experienced everything. As i even own the audio dramas of Claudia's - well, some of them at least! And both SG graphic novels. Having played and completed Mass Effect, too and now journeying into Dragon Age: Origins I find myself thinking i'm nearly at my fandom end. So i'm asking for your help in ways to continue my Stargate and Farscape journey aka Claudia Black in different avenues.
Please suggest me things!!

Why I ship Aeryn/Crais
1. The entire episode of 'Green Eyed Monster'.
2. The Peacekeeper soldier turned vigilante/sworn enemy of the Peacekeepers. Remind you of anyone?
3. Crais willingly showed her the vid of her mother and young!Aeryn. Without any hidden agenda, too.
4. His reaction when seeing her alive after fearing she had died.
5. His emotion knowing she had 'drowned.' & knowing he couldn't share his find (the vid chip)with Talyn about her Mother visiting her...
6. "Are you offering yourself, Aeryn Sun."
"Take whatever you want, Crais, I won't stop you." Uh! What followed this scene exactly?!
7. When he gave her the vid chip to keep and the way he put it in her hand afterwards. *feels*
8. Lani John Tupu is an excellent actor and is also the voice of Pilot!
9. 'Meltdown' episode Crais shows a flicker of jealousy at Aeryn and John while they were... Ahem... You know! ;)
10. No-one else seems to and there is about 3 fanfictions about them together on fanfiction.net. Quite disappointed!
11. I watched Farscape for Claudia Black and I continue to watch it for Aeryn's adventures.
12. The subtle nuance between them both in the penultimate scene of Crais on-board Talyn.

If The Worst Should Happen...
What Farscape character would you, still being you, befriend? Don't forget - you're still human. And say, you found your way onto Moya - which person/alien would you want in your foxhole in order to survive?
I would personally choose Crais. Yup, shocked me too as my heart said Aeryn but by mind said Bialar. So I went with the latter - I'll get scooped up in a Peacekeeper Prowler - plead my case and then a cute black and red leather outfit later and I'll be flying in the stars with the best of them! After probably yelling ''I'm not Sebacean I'm human!" at the PKs numerous times, I reckon I'd stay there and make it my home until Bialar defects to Moya. Which will be when I defect to Moya, too. Not sure what my journey will be there, though. But I'm positive it'll involve Talyn and certain death.
What's yours?
I've thought about this question long and hard, having come to know Farscape via Claudia Black and her wonderful performance as Vala Mal Doran in Stargate SG-1.

Inspired by - www.kyrafic.tumblr.com/post/57476946215/farscape
1. The first character I first fell in love with - Aeryn Sun. I began my Farscape journey by falling in love with Claudia's Vala Mal Doran in Stargate and chased down some of her filmography because of Vala.
2. The character I never expected to love as much as I do now? - Crais. The author inside of me enjoys the transition from primary antagonist to possible protagonist very, very much. He's a little Rubik cube if you like your 2-D & 3-D characters.
3. The character everyone else loves that I don’t - Rygel? He's fun but I don't think we'd get on. ;)
4. The character I love that everyone else hates - Poor Crais. I love the guy to bits..
5. The character I used to love but don’t any longer - Chiana. She's lost her sexual and wild, unpredictability and what she was before.
6. The character I would totally smooch? - Aeryn... I'm so frelled in the head and going to Hell... Uh.
7. The character I’d want to be like - probably Crichton in the sense I can explore an alien world and excel.
8. The character I’d slap - Sikozu - definaltely! Jool. God, stop screeching, woman.
9. A pairing that I love - Do remember I'm sick in the head and I see things other humans can't: Aeryn/Crais.
10. A pairing that I despise - D'Argo/Chiana. That was only ever going to end badly. :@ Sorry, guys.

A REview of Resident Evil novel Umbrella Conspiracy by SD Perry
I hate Wesker even more after reading this book. I hate him from head to toe - or shades to boots, in his case - and this is coming from a person who played and complete Resident Evil 5!
Before reading this, I'd looked in every nook and cranny or cyberspace to soak up RE info. On my journey, I've been able to watch the RE 1 live action intro cutscene. With that visual image imprinted in my mind, this book was more then easy to see in my head. Not only thanks to the into movie, but by the author getting the right balance of descriptive terms so the reader can paint their own mental pictures but are directed in the right direction.
I got this on the 10th May - for my birthday - and I broke my one chapter a day rule very quickly with this book. The fast pace and never ending feel of suspense, adventure and that tingly feel you get while playing the game that feeling where there's always something around that corner, door and so on... Absolutely fantastic from start to end with no lulls, quiet moments or filler of any kind. I literally couldn't put it down. I'm now, sadly done with this book,but I am more ready for the new ones!! But to be honest, I will most certainly reread this in the wait for new material - it's just that good!
The characters are more then spot-on, with their descriptions matching each one. I feel enjoyment with the small backgrounds and inserts of the characters whilst all the action is going on, too! Gory creators, floods of emotions, loveable characters - obviously! This book is an absolute must, must read for RE fans!
This leaves you wanting more, leaves you wanting to meet with your beloved STARS team and leaves you despising the Cheshire Cat Wesker... and this is once again coming from someone who hasn't played the 'classic' RE games!!

Rosie
Phoenix’s film review
WANTED
WANTED
stars wimpy panic-attack suffering norm, Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy)
Whom has a cheating girlfriend and is humiliated by his boss, has a
life turn around as he’s approached by Fox(Angelina Jolie) – a
member of the Fraternity on account of the death of his father.
Wesley is trained by Fox to avenge the death of his father whilst
ending other people’s lives. He’s beginning to control his own.
Fans
of James McAvoy will be pleased with his performance of realistic
sand believable Wesley Gibson as it’s a real change of character
from Mr Tumnus in The Chronicles of Narnia. Fans of Angelina Jolie
will be more than happy so see her as a gun-shooting somewhat heroine
again. Whilst being a mysterious assassin society member. As well as
Fox, the members of the Fraternity are mysterious and as you grow to
learn more about Wesley, you don’t learn much about the Fraternity
and the Fraternity leader Sloan (Morgan Freeman)
The start of the film is
humorous as a scene at the traffic lights as Fox looks out the car
window of a battered red Viper at a drier of another car the driver
smiles at Fox and Fox drives off to the music ‘Pina Colada.’
Humour is a light trait in the film as it gradually becomes strongly
violent and not exactly unsettling but the odd way of training a new
member into the Fraternity is certainly a gruesome and violent one,
but is entertaining to watch. As the film is seemingly towards its
end, be aware to feeling a few pangs of sadness at the ending as an
unsuspecting revelation, multiple murder and suicide is played out at
the finale it gives the viewer a real rollercoaster ride of feelings
and scenes to mull over after watching.
Especially
as you have empathy towards the characters, as I sure did as Fox is a
brilliant, mysterious survivor with an ever mysterious past is the
only female in the team at the Fraternity. Whereas the character Fox
is the character for us ladies to admire and adore, Wesley is also
credible for feeling empathy towards as he’s out hero of the film
as we see him go from wimp to superhero.
All
in a beautiful setting as the Fraternity scenes were filmed in
Prague, Czech Republic, which is made to look like Chicago in a
building in Prague which was already the Director’s & co’s
idea of what the fraternity would look like. With only a few changes
to the set, windows, painting the bricks to look like Chicago brick.
They got seven interior and one external set out of one building
which is really useful.
With
the added bonus of sound bites of rock music- ‘The Little Things’
by Danny Elfman is a memorable one. Also the instrumental music with
themes for certain characters adds persona, excitement and
intensifies the scenes and more importantly the film.
As
the finale is a shocker, it gives us something of a moral as after a
brilliant execution, Wesley looks directly into the camera and asks-
“What have you done lately?”
So
if you like thrilling, action-packed movies with James McAvoy, Morgan
Freeman or Angelina Jolie, this is a film for you!
