Haha, they added bells to the themesong for the Christmas episode of
Corner Gas!
...Oh, shut up. After FOUR. FREAKING. HOURS. of reading Puritan nonsense, I'm finding just about everything funny right now.
However,
this is just
disturbing.

Date: 2008-09-14 04:21 am (UTC)I'm glad someone else on my flist is watching this show. It's made me very happy for the past month or so. I just watched the last episode, though, so that makes me sad.

Date: 2008-09-14 04:39 am (UTC)Eeee. Although I've been watching the show off-and-on for about a year now, I never really gave them a thought in a shippy way until I chanced upon a fanfic last weekend. Now I can't get them out of my mind. (Although the fact that she's like half his age does make it a bit...weird.)
Though I do wonder about Davis...*g*
Heh heh heh. I figure he's got to be of the "gay except for Karen, maybe" variety. (And apparently Lacey? I've heard odd things about S5...)

It is such fun.

Isn't there another season coming up in...January? Although I guess it's going to be short, and the last season to boot. Alas. And so soon after we got it down here.

Oh, I hope so! One more would be great. The last ep was good but didn't really feel like a finale to me.

Date: 2008-09-14 04:57 am (UTC)I chortle EVERY TIME I even think about the surveillance bush.
I'm not sure I'm ready to go looking for fic yet, but the fact that it's mostly Davis/Karen surprises me a little. I would've guessed Brent/Lacey first.
I was shocked, I tell you. Maybe it's because the Brent/Lacey thing pretty much had its death knell at the end of S1/beginning of S2. (Not to say that some fanfic writers don't flog the dead horse after that kind of thing happens...) I personally was expecting a lot of gen--it still seems weird to ship anyone on that show, because nothing ever changes in Dog River. But there's also a surprising amount of Karen/Lacey slash. (I would've expected Lacey/Wanda if anything...)
Oh, I hope so! One more would be great.
I found this article about S6, which filmed this summer. It'll be 19 episodes, and then it's over for real. Although I've seen a couple of interviews with Brent Butt where he's said he has a couple movie ideas kicking around in his head. That would be awesome, but I wonder if such a thing would even get shown down here...

Date: 2008-09-14 05:10 am (UTC)Thanks for the article! I had no idea it was such a success in Canada, but I'm glad to hear it; maybe we'll get the movie after all. Man, now I can't wait for season six :D
no subject
Date: 2008-09-14 05:30 am (UTC)Not much of it. I saw "Census Sensibility" (the one where Lacey thinks Davis and Karen are dating--hee!) and whichever one it is where Davis, Brent, and Oscar go camping. I've pretty much seen S1, S2, and bits and pieces of 3-5 at the moment.
There's an ep late in the season that has a lot of Karen/Lacey focus, so maybe some of it comes from that.
Ahhh.
I think I'd love gen fic for the show, though. Maybe this year I could finally get off my butt and do Yuletide, just so I could request some.
There are a couple from last year's Yuletide up. One has a smidge of Karen/Wanda slash (...I don't know); the other is entirely gen--unless you squint, and then it's almost-but-not-really Hank/Wanda. Apparently Wanda got around last year.
I had no idea it was such a success in Canada
Oh, gosh, it's huge up there, or so I hear. I got the impression it's just about the only homegrown non-sketch comedy show that competes with American imports at all. (Well, maybe Little Mosque on the Prairie competes now as well. I want to check that out some day...)

Wheee!

Date: 2008-09-14 08:13 pm (UTC)...Keep in mind there are seriously about ten. :) And they're all in a community on ffnet. (Oh, and the most prolific author is here, too.)
Wow, that is disturbing. It had me transfixed.
I couldn't even watch the whole thing. I was too horrified.

Date: 2008-09-14 09:37 pm (UTC)This thing definitely wins points for random. Oi. But I think a minute or so of it is probably far superior to four hours of Puritan poetry.

Oh, I don't know. It was so horrifying that I had to turn it off after about thirty seconds. Then again, Puritan poetry is pretty awful as well. ("Straightway appears (they see't with tears)/the Son of God most dread;/Who with his Train comes on amain/ To Judge both Quick and Dead...")
