Primeval! and some other stuff
Jun. 21st, 2011 01:52 amHi guys! So, I realized I've yet to talk about Primeval -- AKA That British Show About Time-Traveling Dinosaurs and the Failboats Who Fight Them -- this season. Which is just wrong, because they've already had:
- Connor being the damsel in distress (again) and Abby coming to the rescue (again)
- dinosaur on a nuclear submarine, in the Jurassic, with Liopleurodons
- a raptor in Victorian London
- James Lester, and his magnificent, magnificent snark
- Jess Parker, and her magnificent, magnificent coordinating skills
- Becker and his adorable glee about getting to use a real live gun again, and his magnificent, magnificent...um, everything
- Abby and Connor and their lovely OTP-ness and charming competence/fail combination
( and more things which are spoilery through 5.04 )
- If anyone else ships Becker/Jess like I do, you should totally check out the three fics![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

(She's also posted an adorable Primeval picspam, a lovely Abby/Connor 4.01 episode tag, and linked to an adorable interview with Ben Mansfield (Cpt. Becker) in which he talks about the character's emotional failboatness and wistful longing for his replaced shotguns)

Enough about Primeval! You know what's hilarious? Taking Myers-Briggs personality tests while pretending to be various fictional characters....and especially when the character is Harry Dresden. In his case, I just wish there were more emphatic options than true/false answers for questions like "You are inclined to rely more on improvisation than on careful planning" or "You readily help people while asking nothing in return." The whole experience was pretty giggle-inducing.
I am a little troubled by the fact that Harry is the same personality type as I am (INFJ, aka "The Protector"/"The Counselor"), though...but then I remember that I am far more emotionally stable than Harry. (A two-legged stool sitting on a termite colony is more emotionally stable than Harry Dresden.) And Marcone, btw, is a pitch-perfect ENTJ (aka "The Executive", lol). If anyone is curious about any other characters they'd like me to do one for, I'd be happy to.
