oops

I may have found a joco song to vid Tru Calling to (I'm sure there's one or two people in the world who give a damn?). It does not introduce snark to Tru. It does introduce it to her boyfriend though!

more tru calling thoughts (I am clearly taking this way too seriously)

So if I want fix-it fic on Tru Calling where it's rescued by snark and the boyfriend doesn't die, clearly I need look no further than Wonderfalls. I had this headtilt when Tru's blonde lawyer sister was introduced and the more I think about it, the more certain I am that Wonderfalls was clearly the smarter version of Tru Calling:

--heroine with unexpected powers is resistant and WHY ME about it, instead of horribly vapid
--her blonde lawyer older sister has a secret, which turns out to be lesbianism instead of a coke addiction
--her bitchy brother is once again the one who eventually figures her out, and also follows the "you're crazy" to belief route, but he comes with a philosophical background to ask interesting questions about it instead of just bugging her for the winning ponies
--her best friend is hooking up with her brother but instead of being all sugary helpful about it, Jaye's horrified
--her sweet, understanding boyfriend comes with a backstory and damage for extra tension
--her creepy boss is acknowledged to be creepy and referred to as the mouthbreather
--hey, they even ripped off the high school reunion episode, but they changed it from five years to seven and a half to point out extra hard that oh by the way this is dumb!

So you know, with better developed characters, snark, more narrative tension, and did I mention snark. Really, I'm a fan of the snark.

I should get around to watching the rest of Wonderfalls one of these days...
