This video is lovely. :-)

I agree. Simply lovely, though it made me want to cry for both listy and rimmsy. And I had no idea that they were doing two seasons!!! I just thought they were doing six episodes. But I am extatic, or excited, as I may still get to see them record one show now! Need some help as far as who to talk to, where's the show being recorded! So much to do *races around apartment at neck braking speed!*

Well, that's the point (crying). It was made to get an emotional response.

I wasn't aware we were getting two series, either. More chances to get audience tickets!!

It's not been confirmed, but that's partly why Doug pleaded with us not to reveal spoilers - so he wouldn't have to film the next series without an audience. Obviously no spoilers = higher ratings and more chance of another series.

Heard it straight from Craig's mouth. But the website is still yelling 1 season. We can all hope, thought!

[kronette.livejournal.com]

Thank you for reviewing it :)

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

I like it too, but can't comment properly until I'm able to listen to the song as well. :)

[kronette.livejournal.com]

Well, the lyrics don't fit at all; it's the melody and sadness I was going for. Just so you know :D

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

OK. :) Incidentally, how breathtaking is that moment in your avatar? It's weird how Rimmer grabbing Lister by the shoulders ended up looking so tender.

[kronette.livejournal.com]

I'm fascinated by the icon scene <-- because Lister isn't as tall as Rimmer, yet either Rimmer hauled up tight or Lister's on his toes or a rise in the beach. Rimmer was pleading with Lister to help him, you'll recall, so it's not surprising it came across looking a lot less violent that it could have.

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

Yes, I remember the context. There's something about that scene that cries out for fic. I believe it did feature in one of Kahvi / Roadstergal's fics. :)

[bayliss.livejournal.com]

It's gotta be the desperation that comes out of the action and the simple word he says, "help." It almost makes me cry the way it comes out.

If anyone's interested in reading a very plausible re-imagining of "Better Than Life" (the ep), try this. :)

How did I not get to this one? I thought I'd hit all the archived stories! *mutters to self*

Does this companion piece ring a bell? If not, you may want to click "Filter" and type in Kahvi's name. :)

Stop distracting me with awesome fic! I'm trying to write Rimmer masturbating! HAHA!

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

Sorry, carry on. Er, I mean....

[bayliss.livejournal.com]

Yeah, stop distracting her... Rimmer needs his wank. LOL

[kronette.livejournal.com]

The man, we shall say, is finished.

*evil cackle*

[bayliss.livejournal.com]

Oh, you are NAUGHTY!

I love you.

[vejgeta9.livejournal.com]

Icon love. *Points at kronette's icon*

[kronette.livejournal.com]

snagged it from roadstergal :D

[janamelie.livejournal.com]

Seen it now with the sound. Definitely enhances it; very poignant. :)

Lyrics if you want to know them (and I cut the song into pieces, so I don't know what it sounds like now. I don't speak Italian)

Parce mihi Domine
Parce mihi, Domine, nihil enim sunt dies mei.
Quid est homo, quia magniftcas eum?
Aut quid apponis erga eum cor tuum?
Visitas eum diluculo et subito probas illum.
Usquequo non parcis mihi, nec dimittis me, ut glutiam salivam meom?
Peccavi, quid faciem tibi, o custos hominum?
Quare posuisti me contrarium tibi, et factus sum mihimetipsi gravis?
Cur non tollis peccatum meum, et quare non aufers iniquitatem meam?
Ecce, nunc in pulvere dormian, et si mane me quaesieris, non subsistam.




Spare me, O Lord, for my days are nothing.
What is a man that thou shouldst magnify him?
Or why dost thou set thy heart upon him?
Thou visitest him early in the morning, and thou provest him suddenly.
How long wilt thou not spare me, nor suffer me to swallow down my spittle? I have sinned.
What shall I do to thee, O keeper of men?
why hast thou set me opposite to thee, and I am become burdensome to myself?
Why dost thou not remove my sin, and why dost thou not take away mine iniquity?
Behold now, I shall sleep in the dust: and if thou seek me in the morning, I shall not be.
