I'm actually working on a picspam right now. My fellow Danny boy fangirls beware, it's gonna be a good one. But it will take awhile and I really felt like blogging, so this is a filler blog. I stole the quiz from Daria . I love this quiz cuz its easy to read. Lol, just look at pictures! Try to do it without using any words. And add new questions if you can think of any fun ones.

Relationship status?

What is the one thing you can't live without?

Who is your celebrity crush?

What is your favorite movie of all time?

What about your favorite show?

Where do you live?

Where do you like to shop?

Favorite shoes?

Favorite season?

Favorite sport?

Favorite singer?

Favorite author?


Top 5 Space: Above and Beyond characters

The year is 2063. Five rookie marines are forced into active service when mankind is attacked by an alien race. One of the many shows to fall victim to Fox. It lasted one season back in 1996.


1. Lt. Cooper Hawkes

Hawkes is my favourite character because he is an Invitro, an artificially grown human that was born as a full grown 18 year old. He is now 6 years old, or 24. Invitros encounter a lot of prejudice and preconceptions about being violent and up to no good. Hawkes is very stubborn and has an attitude that is like a defense against the cruelty he is the victim of. Eventually he realizes he doesnt need it, becomes more open, and proves he is human. I shipped him with Vansen.


2. Capt. Shane Vansen

Vansen is the Captian of their sqaud, the 58th aka The Wildcards. She is excellent as a female commander. A great leader, excellent pilot. I love strong female characters like this.


3. Lt. Nathan West

I love Nathan's dedication. He and his girlfriend applied to be colonists before the war. They have a strict selection process and only his girlfriend made it. She was not allowed to drop out because it would be considered a breach of contract. So Nathan joined the marines becuase they are the only other ppl who go to space, hoping to see her again one day. But her colony was the first to be attacked, but he still never gave up hope that he would find her.


4. Lt. Paul Wang

Wang is the joker of the team. He's pretty funny and had some really great lines. But he's still super heroic. Anyone who's seen this knows what I mean. His scene in the finale is in my Top 10 TV Moments list.


5. Lt. Col. Tyrus Cassius McQueen

Col. McQueen is also an Invitro. He's a bit of a hardass but an excellent soldier and a credit to his...sub-species. He took this squadron of misfits and turned them into the most feared and respected squadron in the fleet. He really loves 'his kids'.


Honorable Mention

Lt. Vanessa Damphousse

I have to mention Damphousse since she is one of the main characters and the fifth member of the 58th.


Well, enjoy, and I hope you are all looking forward to my upcoming fangirl outburst.

Hey, that's a really cool quiz. I kind of doubt I would ever find a picture with my name in it tho I remember Space Above and Beyond, only one season? Have a great weekend.
Posted Sep 3, 2009 5:14 pm PT
Lol, you could always make your own. Yeah, only one season. 24 epis.
Posted Sep 3, 2009 5:24 pm PT
I love the quiz, but I'm too lazy to do it. It's too bad that it aired on Fox. That's so cool. Lt. Cooper Hawkes sounds like an interesting character. I love funny characters. I think I might go find some clips of Wang.
Posted Sep 3, 2009 6:26 pm PT
Here's my fave Wang scene. I just rewatched it and loled lots. Its still hilarious.
Posted Sep 3, 2009 7:09 pm PT
I did Daria's but if I find it I'll send it to you or redo it. Space Above and Beyond is one of my favorite shows of all time. I think I've watched it on DVD about three times and watched it when I think the SciFi Channel showed it. I was very upset when it just sort of disappeared. If I remember no real news. It just ended! I think Nathan would fall in the bottom of my top five or six. I liked Vansen first then Hawkes next. Jeffery

But Vansen and Hawkes are awesome. Everyone can agree on that.
Posted Sep 3, 2009 8:02 pm PT
Hi Rebecca! Ooh, I love your eye colour and we have the same hair colour. Where is that place? (With the cute little boys) That was a fun quiz. Looking forward to the picspam.
Posted Sep 3, 2009 8:14 pm PT
Those are my nephews. My fave place to go is to visit them. Yay! Even though ur not a Stargate fan, it'll be fun. Workin' on it right now. Yumminess.
Posted Sep 3, 2009 8:40 pm PT
Wait, who's Danny boy? Hi Rebecca! Bluish gray eyes? Pasta!! Yum! Who are the kids by the river? That's an old pic of the cinemas. The Manchurian Candidate's like 5 years ago. There are gondolas in Vegas! I'm not familiar with the actor. No fave film? That's a beautiful place where you live. Where's that? Not familiar with the singer too. I've read a couple of Crichton books. He's good!
Posted Sep 3, 2009 11:50 pm PT
This quiz is so awesome that I want to do it again!! I love it. *has a look at what I answered about a year ago* Well I definatly wouldn't have Bones and Gossip Girl as favorite shows anymore. And favorite drink is VODKA!! It kinda was last year too though, I just decided not to post that Nice color picture Mmmm I love pasta!! Hate orange juice, as long as it isn't together with vodka. Then I like it. But it has to be like at least 50% vodka. Venice is awesome! One of the prettiest cities I've ever been to. Star Wars is awesome My favorite shoes are still my chucks Never seen Above and Beyond But based on jjust looking at the pictures I think I'd like Nathan best. I love his name too
Posted Sep 4, 2009 1:15 am PT
Oy, pics are disappearing. But you guys still see them so I'm not sure if I should replace them. :/




@ macky Who's Danny boy? Its a secret if you dont already know. But you're a guy so you wouldnt be excited anyway. Yup, bluish gray eyes. Although I think mine are darker than the pic would suggest. The kiddies are my nephews. I love visiting them. And I just googled for a pic of a theatre and thats what I found. I'll try to find a pic of the same type of theatre I go to (Galaxy). Umm, what about gondolas? The actor is from Stargate. My fave film is Star Wars but the pic disappeared. Its Alberta, Canada. Anyone from Canada would know, cuz Alberta borders boths the Rockies and the prairies. The singer is Raine Maida. I've read all Crichton books and some of the ones you released under a pen name when he was younger. Love him! So sad he died.
Posted Sep 4, 2009 8:33 am PT
@ Daria Yeah, when I read your quiz I didnt think Bonse and Gossip Girl seemed right. I dont remember you talking about those that much. I love pasta, and my fave dish to make is pretty much the same as the pic. Rotini with onions, broccoli, and olives. Mmmm. I'm vegetarian so, yummy veggies in my pasta. I wanna visit Venice pretty bad. I really really hope one day. My second choice would be Paris. So you choose Nathan from the pics? But Hawkes is hotter! That's actually part of the reason he is #1, cuz him and Vansen are equally awesome. Although the actor is much older now and has guest appeared in a lot of shows including Bones and Angel. He's getting old, squashing all hope of a conclusion for the show, even if the 13 year gap couldnt.
Posted Sep 4, 2009 8:54 am PT
Like the quiz thanks. I alomost forgot about space. It was a good show. Fox has a way with getting rid of good ones. To bad nobody else picked it up
Posted Sep 4, 2009 9:15 am PT
Yeah, why would anyone want their show on Fox?
Posted Sep 4, 2009 9:34 am PT
What, no pictures of the Chigs? No Fair! species discrimination! On a more serious note, I really tried to like the show, but something seemed to be missing. There was no real warmth to any of the characters. Shane just seemed like a cold fish. But it was the only sci fi on tv at the time, unfortunately, that was halfway decent. so it was either that, or nothing. As usual, it wasn't given a fair chance. One season is nowhere near enough for a show to find its place, but networks just aren't willing to give them a chance anymore. If they don't see those numbers go through the roof INSTANTLY then it's b'bye and the show, its casts, characters, and fans are left in limbo.

Loved those pictures as answers..

@ Parsec I loved the characters, but I found the show had a bit of a problem with consistency. A few episodes in we find out McQueen is an Invitro and its like we were supposed to have already known. Like they revealed it in a deleted scene. Then there was that thing with Damphousse having precognition, but it was never mentioned again. And then Wang/Damphousse kinda started and then was abandoned. But it really had a lot of potential. Loved the direction the story went near the end of the season involving the Chigs.
Posted Sep 4, 2009 10:01 am PT
That clip was hilarious.
Posted Sep 4, 2009 3:52 pm PT
I know eh!
Posted Sep 4, 2009 4:35 pm PT
Well I still love Bones season 1-3 a lot. If it hadn't been for season 4 you would have heard me talk a lot about it. That's cool. I hate onions but other than that it looks great. Oh I didn't know you were vegeterian. I hope you get to visit Venice. Paris is also awesome, I actually loved it more than Venice Such a beautiful city. Haha I doubt I'd think anyone of them was hot and I just chose them randomly from the picture Hmm... if you tell me which episode of Bones and Angel I'm pretty sure I'll be able to remember him cause I pretty much know all there is to know about those 2 shows. Awww sucks that there is no conclusion How old is he?
Posted Sep 5, 2009 2:35 am PT
There never a reason for me to mention that I was vegetarian before, being on a TV site and all. Oh, well I thought he even looked hot in the pic. But oh well. He's 45 now. He was in an epi of Bones where they thought they found some pirate bones at the bottom of a well or whatever that thing was. He was the diver who made friends with Hodgins. In Angel he was a random bad client in S5. Dont remember the epi, I'll have to look it up... He played Corbin Fries in the S5 pilot.

Hi Rebecca what is this picspam you are working on? And who is Danny boy? Nice quiz! I have to be honest I have never heard of this show Above and Beyond. Looking forward to more blogs from you
Posted Sep 5, 2009 11:41 am PT
Glad you enjoyed it. I am working on a Danny boy picspam, and if I really must ruin the surprise, Danny boy is what fangirls call Daniel Jackson, who is Michael Shanks character on Stargate. He is pictured above under celebrity crush. NOt surprised you havent heard of SAAB. ITs old and was short. I wouldnt have heard of it either if I hadnt seen it at my video store when it was first released on DVD. I could tell it was sci-fi so I looked it up and decided it sounded interesting. Glad I found it.
Posted Sep 5, 2009 12:14 pm PT
I guess you haven't been tagged 10 000 times like some of us have I know exactly who the actor is now. All I needed to know was that Bones info I rarely think people are hot by just seing one picture. You'd have to look somewhat like Brad Pitt for that to happen
Posted Sep 6, 2009 5:51 am PT
Oddly enough, I dont think Brad Pitt is hot. And what do you mean by tagged?
Posted Sep 6, 2009 7:52 am PT
Brad Pitt is so hot! I didn't know there were people who didn't find him attractive (ok that's not true... I just tend to ignore it and forget they said that ) Tagged is when someone asks you to write facts about yourself. Sometimes it's 5 sometimes it's 15... get tagged like 10 times and that's a hell of a lot of facts You're not just telling people you are a vegetarian but eventually you're saying stuff like: the walls in my room are off-white
Posted Sep 6, 2009 1:14 pm PT
Ooooh. I see what you mean now. Nope. Never happened.
Posted Sep 6, 2009 2:22 pm PT
Love this quiz! And the pics for your answers! I'd have a go but probably wouldn't be able to answer all of them.....Hmmmm.
And I have heard of SAAB,but only because I had a fan-girly crush on James Morrison when he was in 24,and looked at his CV.I see you have him there!! *squees*
Also....so looking forward to the Danny boy picspam.You can never have too much Daniel.
Posted Sep 7, 2009 3:14 pm PT
Lol, totally! Ur the first one who knew who Danny boy was. I'm excited too.
Posted Sep 7, 2009 3:36 pm PT
That's such a cool quiz, I really like it. And your favorite food looks so yummy, I will have myself some this week. *mental note* Is the picspam coming up soon? I like that picture of MS but I need to see more to appreciate him.
Posted Sep 8, 2009 3:57 am PT
I'll probably post it tomorrow. I'm almost done. Only one more to make (unless I get carried away) but a friend is coming over after work and I dont think I will have time to organize the blog till tomorrow.
