When fandoms collide

[kelliem]

Y'all may know I used to be a Highlander fan (cheesy, but fun!) and an X-Files fan, and an Stargate: Atlantis fan. Because I was an X-Files fan I started watching Fringe, which I love (Walter Rules! I need a Walter icon...) because it's sort of like The X-Files could have been if Chris Carter was a better producer (don't throw things fellow X-philes, you know ol' Chris "I don't believe in a show bible" Carter was a terrible showrunner!). So recently I saw some previews for Human Target and decided to watch it because Mark Valley was in it (this relates to Fringe in that he was on it, and is now married to Anna Torv and I like him {Keen Eddie!}). Wow, this is getting convoluted... sorry!

Anyway, the first ep aired on Sunday and it was watchable, but one of the first things I noticed was that Christopher Chance (Mark Valley's character) lives in Duncan MacLeod's old apartment (it's unmistakable despite the different set-dressing, how many apartments are accessed via an old cargo elevator?). The first ep featured many familiar Vancouver faces (such as Donnelly Rhodes and Tricia Helfer) and apparently, David Nykl (Radek Zelenka, my favorite character from SGA) will be in the first regular-broadcast ep tomorrow night.

I feel like my fandoms are all colliding. ;D And of course, my brain is wondering if Christopher Chance is really an Immie and that's how he can risk his life in all those crazy ways.

The TS lists are saying one of the actors on HT was the stunt double for the guy who played Jim Ellison...so even more fandom collision. :)

I heard a fandom collision related casting spoiler for Supernatural, if you're interested.

EEEEEE! You're so right! And I didn't notice Duncan's apartment, jeez, I had no idea they recycle sets for -- what? eight years?

Tricia Helfer looked better, I thought, with softer makeup. Not that she's not beautiful anyway, but other times I've seen her, she's so hard looking she's scary.

Sadly, even though I live in Vancouver, I can't find one of those apartments with its own cargo elevator! Although, I probably couldn't afford it even if I did find it.

I was watching a different show - maybe The Listener? - and noticed that the main character's apartment looked a lot like the one from ReGenesis. But that is in Toronto, not Vancouver!
