Brought to you by the letter R

[livejournal.com profile] trixieleitz gave me an "R". So here are ten things that begin with R. Ask in comments if you'd like a letter of your very own

Real life - that stuff that happens away from my PC, and some of it's not bad at all.

Rebel rabble - not just Blake's lot, but also the name I give my flist.

Red Dwarf - comedy in space, brilliant and inventive stuff except for one major failure called Kochanski

Remotes - indispensable to the couch potato and game-playing geek. I offer you a selection of ours.

Remuera - the next suburb, which has a deserved rep for being posh and weathy, but is also where I work. It has a good library only two blocks from work too which is a Very Good Thing.

Restal, Vila - the only human among my SF series favourites, though I'm not sure how he got in there and stole my heart.

Robots - because robots, androids, and AIs are usually much more interesting characters than the humans in the same series.

Rockets - because we wouldn't have spaceships without their ancestors.

Roj Blake - the man without whom my favouite fandom would not exist, even if he deserted half-way through.

Rommel - the strategist, honorable man, and wearer of cool goggles whom I was nicknamed for at high school because of my war-gaming and my admration for him. I even drew a picture of him for NaArMaMo, though he looks more like Bester (wrong corps and spelling thereof though).

Vulnerability? Kid me thought he got bullied and was indignant for him. Adult me thinks he can give as good as he gets in the long run, and appreciates that.

Am tempted to ask for a letter, but am afraid of getting one I couldn't do ten things for...

It probably is a mix of vulnerability, wit, lovableness, and roguish charm, but those aren't the characteristics of most of the non-human characters I love (Spock, Data, Londo, Vir--OK, Vir has some--Garak, the Holographic Doctor...

It's not so bad thinking up 10 things once you start. If you want it, have an L.

I was going to say, well, the fact that he *is* human, all too much so, that might have something to do with it. But now that I've typed that out, I'm going hmm. No, there doesn't have to be an explanation for every like. It's nice, but it doesn't have to happen every time.

And thank you for the L. I shall think of something...

Oy! :)

Of course Rommel had the additional distinction of being played by James Masion in (IIRC) "The Desert Fox".

He did indeed, and very well too.

How did that "i" get into his name? Sorry about that. At least you still knew what I meant.

Okay, I'll keep playing. Give me a letter (preferably not R, B or V 'cause I have done them - but hey, it's your call :)

Well do :)
