Psst! Wanna bunny?

*holds squirming, kicking plot bunny at arm's length*

Okay, I ought to stop watching Burning Zone. (Yeah, right, like that's gonna happen while it's in reruns on Sleuth!) Because now, I've got this crossover bunny pestering me. *gives bunny a dirty look*

For those of you who may be unfamiliar with BZ, it was a UPN series back in the day. (The day being 1996-97.) It was X-Files meets Outbreak---a team of three doctors and a security specialist investigated weird pseudo-mystical happenings with medical causes. It's most memorable, at least in my mind, for introducing Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Dr Edward Marcase. So, yeah, I found a channel in my digital cable package that's rerunning it, and I'm a happy camper---except when I'm being attacked by bunnies like this one.

Tonight's episode had an organization called the Gethsemane Project administering a drug to death row inmates who'd been sentenced to lethal injection. The inmates "died", went to another dimension (A Hellmouth! Lit only by a dark red star! Populated by nasties in hooded robes! With buildings built of bones! Oooh! *cue spooky music*), where the ones that were really evil were possessed when they were revived by the clueless evil gits performing this experiment. The ones who were repentant/invoked the name of God weren't possessed and were themselves when they were revived.

Our team (the security guy, mostly) nailed the evil Gethsemane doctors and wreaked havok on the lab and pretty much put an end to the whole Gethsemane project, but I was thinking---what if the *ahem* mass murderer they were using as a lab rat was Dean Winchester...cuz, y'know, he IS a wanted man. If he *did* get captured, Hendrikson would happily see his ass on Death Row. And can you think of a better way to erase Dean's criminal record than to have him die...at least officially?

If you need clarification of any episode/series points, lemme know. I do NOT have time for this shit, but it could be juicy! (Especially Sam and Dean running into Marcase---a younger version of John!) I've already written one SPN/BZ crossover**, that's enough for me, thanks!

Opera, anyone?

To prove that my subconscious is a slippery thing, this morning I awoke humming opera. My late brother was the opera buff in our family; what little I know about it was gained through osmosis. I don't dislike it (which is more than most people will say), but I'm not passionate about it, either.

Last night, I dreamed about opera. I was in a place where it snowed, and there was an opera that the town performed every year over the course of four days, one act each day (Yes, I know, most plays/operas are three acts, not four.). They performed the usual nightly show of all four acts at the opera house, but there were public performances in the "act-a-day" format. One of the scenes involved a man driving a horse-drawn sleigh, and a wealthy man had donated $3000 for the priviledge of being in the sleigh with the driver, because he wanted to show off for his young daughters. I saw him as he/they went past, and I was impressed, because he was doing all kinds of acrobatic tricks.

The character in the opera whom they were singing about was Siglinde, and I can "hear" the chorus and the trumpet fanfare that went with it. Not all the words, alas, but it was "Siglinde, Siglinde!" and a six-note refrain.

I also know, although this wasn't part of the dream, that this is part of the opera that Sirocco Malfoy is famous for. One of these days, I really do need to conclude the Neville/Draco story arc, and oh, btw, read book 7....
