in which i make up complicated terms

[schmerica]

From yesterday's TV and movie viewing, I have also decided that the Essential Crucial Distilled Dialogue for SGA is contained in the following three sentences:

1. "Don't touch anything."
2. "I didn't touch anything!"
3. "Oops. I touched something."

For Wilby Wonderful, on the other hand, the Essential Crucial Distilled Dialogue is, I think, the question "What do you mean?"

I'm not certain what the Essential Crucial Distilled Dialogue for due South is, though. This might need further reflection.

I'm not certain what the Essential Crucial Distilled Dialogue for due South is, though. This might need further reflection.

I think it involves "thank you kindly" in some way. Also, possibly, "eww, don't lick that!"

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It only takes an extra second to be courteous, SK.

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

I think we need ESDD for every fandom. *nods*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I agree! I am sadly not familiar enough with all fandoms to figure them out, though.

[slodwick.livejournal.com]

I'm just saying... if you poked some of your smart friends in other fandoms, I think you could probably cover a rather large portion of fandom.

[lalejandra.livejournal.com]

HAH. I think #4 for SGA is: "Why did you touch that?"

Dude, due South is "There are red ships and green ships but there are no ships like friendships." *g*

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

friendships

isn't it partnerships?

[lalejandra.livejournal.com]

I have no idea!

Does it really matter? It's very gay either way. *g*

[serialkarma.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. I think "partnerships" is more gay, personally. But maybe that's just me!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I agree! Obviously, we are right and anna is WRONG.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

HAH. I think #4 for SGA is: "Why did you touch that?"

Heeeee, yes.

[liviapenn.livejournal.com]

Hm. For Due South maybe it's, "Was that hard to say?"

[liviapenn.livejournal.com]

Or possibly "What's the matter with *him*?"

[shayheyred.livejournal.com]

Or, "Canadian," by way of a comment by Ray V/Ray K/Welsh/Huey/Gardino/Dewey/Stella/Frannie/Elaine/any other American, with the intent of explaining Fraser's actions.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heeeee, yes, I think you two are definitely onto the due South one.

[malnpudl.livejournal.com]

I'd think "Unhinged" would have to be in there somewhere.

Sekrit message to Livia -- this is the exchange I was telling you about yesterday with Fraser and Vecchio at the end of Free Willy:

Ray: All I’m saying is, is in the future it’s a good idea not to suggest someone shoot me.
Fraser: Well, I didn’t want to, Ray, but it was necessary in order to enrage her.
Ray: You wanted to enrage the person that had a gun to my neck? That was your strategy?
Fraser: I knew that if I kept at it, eventually I’d draw her fire, and you’d get your shot. And I knew you’d trust me.
Ray: But I didn’t.
Fraser: Yes, you did.
Ray: No, I didn’t.
Fraser: Yes, you did.
Ray: No. I didn’t.
Fraser: Well, of course you did. Maybe you just weren’t fully aware of it.
Ray: I was very aware of my feelings toward you, Fraser.
Fraser: Well, if you didn’t know what I was planning, then why’d you play along?
Ray: I wasn’t playing along. I was begging for my life!
Fraser: Oh! Oh, well, uh. My mistake.
Ray: Mistake? You could’ve gotten me killed.
Fraser: Oh no, I’d never allow that. You’re my friend. You’re my best friend I’d have to say.
Ray: I am? Hey, exactly how many best friends have you had?

also, someone (usually Weir) has to yell "Rodney!" out (in exasperation usually) at least once a scene.

dS =

I first came to Chicago on the trail of the killers of my father and for reasons which don't need exploring at this juncture I have remained attached as a liason officer at the Canadian Consulate.

Vecchio: Who are you?
Kowalski: Who me?
Vecchio: Yeah you.
Kowalski: What do you mean?
Vecchio: What do they call you?
Kowalski: Who?
Vecchio: Am I not speaking English here or what?
Thug#1: Yes boss, beautiful English.
Vecchio (drawing gun): What's it going to be funny guy?
Kowalski: Oh you mean my name... oh that. Here [hands Vecchio his ID]
Vecchio: Ray Vecchio, Chicago P.D.

There should definitely be ECDD for all fandoms.

Sports Night? SG1?

Others have already suggested some good DS lines. Another one is the requisite, "Ray. Ray. Ray. Ray. Ray."

[speshope.livejournal.com]

That has my vote.

[cesperanza.livejournal.com]

I came here to vote for that one too, but you beat me to it!

[ficbyzee.livejournal.com]

I think 'But McKay will save us, right? right?' and 'But Sheppard will save us, right? right?' should be added to the SGA section.

[helleboredoll.livejournal.com]

for dS I gotta vote with shey for

Anyone & everyone: "What's with him?"
Either Ray: "He's Canadian."
A&E: "Oh."

because it just explains everything :)
