Falling in line behind [livejournal.com profile] planetalyx, [livejournal.com profile] prillalar, and [livejournal.com profile] kormantic:

Create-Your-Own League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
1. Choose five to seven characters
2. They may be from books, movies, comics, TV shows, games, and real life--no traditional superheroes, though
3. They may be from any place on the space-time continuum, and any plane of existence--characters do not need to exist within the same era and country as in the original
4. You must identify the recruiter, the leader, and the villain, and there must be at least one female
5. Optional: You may identify their primary means of transport (like Nemo's Nautilus)


So may I present: The League of Middle-Aged Secondary Characters Who Are Sick and Tired of Standing in the Background Being the Hero's Boss/Mentor/Yenta/Nemesis While All the Pretty Young People Have All the Sexy Fun, and Who Want Their Own Show, Dammit:

the Recruiter: Madeleine (LFN)
the Villain: Cigarette-Smoking Man
the Leader: Rupert Giles
the Team: Joe Dawson (HL), Al Giardello (Homicide), Harding Welsh (dS), Walter Skinner
the Vehicle: '57 Studebaker Golden Hawk. Cherry, baby.

Wouldn't that *rock*? Heh. And I'd love to see CSM squaring off against Madeleine. Heh, again.

Ah, a woman after my own heart. (Well, not actually *after* it, in the sense of wanting to grab it, still beating, from my cracked-open chest.) But yeah.

And the Studebaker... ::Homer Simpson drooling moment::

I don't know why the demographic of "female viewers who really dig world-weary, rumpled, experienced, older guys" isn't being better served by the mass media. Grump, grump. (But then, grumping this to someone with a Snape icon is preaching to the choir, eh?)

I love your version of XLG - perfection indeed! and the vehicle is superb; it's just loveliness taken to the nth degree

Mmm, yes; my parents had a gorgeous seafoam-green Studebaker, when I was very small, and it lives on in my head as a sort of Platonic Ideal of cars.

VROOOOMMM!!!!

Wouldn't they just kick ass, though? And why are the networks not bright enough to give us a show like this, hah?

It'd be great! Unfortunately that very reason takes it out of the running. *sigh*

You could always write at least the teaser to the pilot, tho ;-)

Yet again the need for the Joss Network becomes glaringly obvious.

Oh god, I want to go along with them. That's, like, all my boyfriends at once.

Well...except for the CSM (but at least I could borrow cigarettes from him. *g*)

Or I was going to say, maybe I could borrow Krycek from him, y'know, just for the weekend. I'd give him back, honest! (Or maybe not...)

Oh, this is wonderful!

I want to see the trailer for this! Full of snark and smoke and everyone climbing into the Studebaker.

Don't they need a little mascot of some kind?

Possibly a crime fighting Brittany Spaniel named Whiskers?

Ooh, I want to see your LXG! I don't know Harding Welsh or Madeleine, but Giles, Skinner, Gee, and the Smoker all together? plus that neat-looking guy from Highlander who looks like he should be in a Fells Point bar? Kewl!

*hugs Gee, Skinner, and Giles just because*

You know, I already knew I loved you. This just makes it official. :)
