spacefungusparty's hiatus exchange is live!
I rather cheekily requested a vid to the Battlestar Galactica version of "All Along the Watchtower", and got this. THE PARALLELS. THE CONNECTIONS FORMED THROUGH LOVE AND FEAR AND DECEPTION AND HONOUR AND HOPE. THE EXTREMELY LITERAL "A WILDCAT DID GROWL".
I also have to recommend "Logic Suggests", Kat/Sarek fic in which they should have sex for the good of the Federation. It's logical.

I linked to this interview with all the women of Discovery atspacefungusparty, but I keep coming back to read it again and again.
(Okay, "all the women" minus the actresses playing Detmer, Owosekun and Airiam. So that's "only" Sonequa Martin-Green, Michelle Yeoh, Mary Wiseman, Mary Chieffo and Jayne Brook. For a series that started out by killing a major female character and leaving us with the Star Trek standard issue 30% female cast, that's pretty amazing.)
Also, there was this interview with Jayne Brook and Mary Chieffo which I liked a whole lot
There's also a third interview with Brook which came out in the last 24 hours, which actually kiiiiiiiinda got on my nerves a little? ( I wound up having a bit of a spoilery rant here. )
Finally, looking at the fandom itself,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
