10K Not 8,999!!

Whether or not Netflix picks up Z Nation for a 6th season is based on viewers. Do you want a 6th season??

[doinurmommy]

Please continue to watch and rewatch ZN on Netflix! Blow up Netflix when s5 goes on soon! Tweet Netflix! The fight to get ZN picked up is still on!

currently watching day of the dead (syfy) and all i can think about is z nation and WHY syfy decided to make this show, no offense(!), instead of just z nation s6 or something

[xswestallen]

Do you know about anything the new writer/producer of s6 of the Flash has done before? Like previous shows or movies?

Eric Wallace is in a new position as showrunner for season 6, but he’s not new to The Flash. He’s been writing for the show since season 4. He worked on 4x01, 4x07, 4x16, 4x23, 5x02, The Flash episode of the Elseworlds crossover, 5x15, and 5x22. Before that, he worked on Teen Wolf, Z Nation and Eureka.

Tv show ask: 1,3,4,19

1. If you could reboot one TV show, which one would it be?

Reboot, like re-doing it? Then there doesn't comes a show to mind, right now. If I could have a new Season of a tv show then, I want a 6th season of Z-Nation. :D

3. Have you ever quit a show before it finished? why?

I've quit TWD and SPN years ago. Because both shows stopped being interesting to me. TWDs plot just got incredibly bad and SPN .. I don't even know anymore, just wasn't invested in the show, I guess.

There are a few more shows I started watching on and off, which are okay, but don't pull me in too much. lol

4. Are there any shows you wish could just be cancelled already?

TWD lol I mean the writing did a nosedive after S3 until S6 (I stopped watching after S6), even the actors started to leave. Just let it die before the last 2 Actors from the beginning sign out, too. lmao

19. Are there any shows on your “to watch” list right now?

Way too many! I'd like to watch Good Omens because the trailer on tv seemed so good, and The Purge, The Umbrella Company and a lot more. There will be a time when I come to watch them, I hope. :D

Thanks for the ask! 😘

[10k-fics]

So from what I saw on Twitter tonight, Shudder already denied picking up Z Nation for a S6, that really means that Netflix is the most realistic hope/option.

That ending was too vague to be a series ending. There is still so much story to tell. Everyone involved with this show deserves better than this, even the fans.

Go raise hell and let's get Z Nation another season even if it's their final one.

[bighairmonkey]

Dear @netflix Doc couldn’t save me, but you can save him!

Please pick up #ZNation for it’s sixth season

Show your support for a 6th season of Z Nation by viewing s5 on Netflix when it airs in January, and using the #netflixZNation and #renewZNation hashtags in social media

[x]

[slytherbun]

ahh i love it!! i’m looking for some new series recommendations - have you saw Deadly Class? i might start that one

-🤍

no i haven't but i've watched a promo lol

hmm shows that are finished i'd rec: one tree hill, shameless (i'm on s6), the fosters, schitts creek, the vampire diaries, the originals (vampire diaries spinoff), 90210 (from 2008. i haven't seen the other)

also finished: lucifer, z nation, society and the order. they are kinda silly shows. i didn't really like the endings. z nation and society was canceled. i'd save these for last on the list.

on going netflix shows: outer banks, emily in paris, virgin river, stranger things, ginny & georgia (although i kinda find ginny annoying), fate: the winx saga (there's only a few episodes so far and it kinda starts slow so push through it if you can).

other on going shows: 911, 911: lone star, the rookie, the cleaning lady, new amsterdam, cruel summer.

you should also watch: law & order: svu, law & order: organized crime (don't watch oc until you're on s22 of svu). also the one chicago shows (chicago pd, chicago fire and chicago med) they are all on going but will keep you busy for awhileeee lol

i wanna see euphoria, game of thrones, the resident, la brea, elite, sex education, greenhouse academy and anne with an e but idk if i'd rec the last 6 or not obviously 😅

there's prob a few more obviously but that's all i can think of rn lol

[znerd]

Aaand they’re taking away my hope again...

Doesn’t mean all of Karl’s and the casts’ hinting means nothing though! It’s not over till it’s over!

maesi: 1

peyton: 1

areana: 1

kelly: 1

brandon pent: 1

if you count up every other person to ever be on top of the pyramid, they have 98 to maddie’s 63. if you count up every original member, they have 40 to maddie’s 63. if you count up every original member plus kendall and kalani, they have 69 to maddie’s 63.

but there’s really no competition. maddie was, by far, the leader of the pyramid.

(edit: somehow forgot jojo in the final tally, but since she was only on the top of the pyramid once, her addition does not drastically change the final counts)

(edit 2: I mistakenly put kalani at the top of the pyramid for return of the rotten apples, when it was actually brynn and kendall. because of this, kalani’s total count is actually 16, and kendall’s is actually 13.)

The Ultimate Fandom Watch List - TV Show Edition

*For those who just don��t know where to start

 Disclaimer: This is a limited list of (30) Fandoms (each a television show, excluding two YouTube original series & one adult cartoon).  I’m personally apart of most of the Fandoms and can speak on their behalf.  Any of the shows that I’m not familiar with have been recommended to me by friends or are series that the general internet space seems to be fascinated with.  For every Fandom you enter, exit, take part in, or interact with in anyway there are dozens of others that are similar that you may also greatly enjoy or wish to join.  I would encourage all to search beyond this list for shows or Fandoms that best suit you. There is no limit to the number of Fandoms that one can be a part of.  

           As for the Fandoms listed below, they have been organized in such a way as to highlight the amount of content currently released, the total run time for said content, and how long it would take the average, though dedicated, person to consume and experience the content in a well-organized and highly efficient manner.  The number of episodes for each show are currently up to date as of 3/16/18 and the known release dates for any continuing series have been mentioned. Each season has been rounded to the nearest half-minute, minute, half-hour, or hour, respectively.  They have been rounded in such a way as to highlight the absolute longest amount of time it would take to complete a single season and an entire series on its own, though the rounding does not necessarily account for time in which episodes are paused, rewound, or interrupted in any way.

           It is recommended that all episodes be watched in secluded areas with lights turned off and met with as few distractions in the room or surrounding area as possible (i.e. quiet food, few or no people in the room, no music or background noises of any kind).  But because this list is rather lengthy and would take two or three times as long to complete in such a manner (for those who wish to follow any, multiple parts, or even the entirety of this list), or worse never be completed at all, it is recommended that headphones are used when watching content outside of chosen secluded areas and done when not trying to accomplish other tasks as to get the most immersive experience from each show as possible.

LUCY AND PHIL HARRIS STRIKE UP THE BAND

S6;E21 ~ February 25, 1974

Directed by Jack Donohue ~ Written by Robert O'Brien

Synopsis

To drum up business for the Unique Employment Agency, Lucy replies to an ad in the newspaper to supply musicians for Phil Harris' orchestra. The candidates she brings Harris are all of different ethnicity, creating a multi-cultural musical act.

Regular Cast

Lucille Ball (Lucy Carter), Gale Gordon (Harrison Otis Carter)

Lucie Arnaz (Kim Carter) does not appear in this episode, although the final credits do state “Lucie Arnaz Wardrobe by Alroe”.  The character is mentioned by Lucy in the dialogue.

Guest Cast

Phil Harris (Himself) previously played soused songwriter Phil Stanley in a 1968 episode of “The Lucy Show.”  Harris was known as a bandleader who became a comic radio star as a Jack Benny sidekick in the 1930s. Although his fondness for booze was largely a creation of the Benny’s writers, Harris played the part to the hilt. Harris was mentioned in “Lucy Gets Jack Benny’s Account” (TLS S6;E6) when Benny made a reference to Harris’ persona as a lush. In “Lucy and Joan” (TLS S4;E4) Joan (Joan Blondell) says she’s been in pictures so long she saw Phil Harris take his first drink! Harris was married to movie star Alice Faye from 1941 until his death in 1995 at age 91.  

Tommy Farrell (Fred, Phil Harris' Arranger) was on Broadway in three plays between 1942 and 1947. He was seen on “The Lucy Show” twice. This is the last of his six episodes of “Here’s Lucy.”   

In the final credits Farrell is billed as “Freddie” although Harris never calls him anything but “Fred.”  The name is probably a tribute to Lucille Ball's brother and grandfather, both of whom were named Fred.  

Marl Young (Marl Young, Pianist) was the “Here’s Lucy” musical director and often appeared on camera when episodes included music.

Young (as the character) says he's been working as an accountant. His last gig was with the Boston Philharmonic.

Michaelani (Mr. Yamoto) makes the third of his four screen appearances here.

Mr. Yamoto plays the clarinet and says he speaks several languages.  

Anthony Ortega (Ooka Lanooka) was a professional saxophonist (although he does not play the instrument here) and is making his screen acting debut.

Ooka Lanooka plays the whale bones and is number one in his field. Back in Alaska, he worked a couple of one-night stands, which Lucy calls “working steady” because the nights in Alaska are six months long!  

Henry L. Miranda (Pancho Rodriguez) 

Pancho is a trumpet player formerly of Herb Albert and the Tijuana Brass.

Jack Kelso (Saxophonist in Harris' Band, uncredited) worked as a studio musician between 1964 and 1984, in addition to recording with Mercer Ellington and Mink DeVille, touring worldwide and appearing in "The Concert for Bangladesh" as part of Jim Horn and the Hollywood Horns.  

Ted Nash (Saxophonist / Clarinetist in Harris' Band, uncredited) was a saxophonist with Les Brown and His Band of Renown. In addition to being a studio musician for many films, he worked on the series “Peter Gunn” (1958-59).

The other members of Harris' orchestra, including ‘Hawaiian’ guitarist Malikalua, are played by uncredited musicians.

Two days after this episode first aired, February 27, 1974, The New York Times broke the news that Lucille Ball had decided not to continue with “Here’s Lucy” and that the show would finish production at the end of its current season.  This came as no surprise to anyone, including viewers. 

The the book “Lucy A to Z: The Lucille Ball Encyclopedia” by Michael Karol, it is noted that Anthony Ortega was a professional saxophonist who was cast by “Here's Lucy” Musical Director Marl Young. Ortega remembers nearly stepping on Lucille Ball's foot while crammed into the booth to pre-record the music for this episode.  Afterwards, Ball complimented him by kissing him on the cheek and saying “You did a good job. I hear that you are a very fine saxophone player.” High praise, considering that all Ball's TV characters were amateur saxophonists. Ortega shared the booth with fellow sax players Jack Kelso and Ted Nash who also appear in the episode.  

The script was dated January 9, 1974, meaning there was very little time between filming and broadcast – a mere seven weeks.  

In her DVD introduction to the episode, Lucie Arnaz reminds us of her mother's early advocacy for hiring minorities, including Lucie's own father, Desi Arnaz, whom CBS was skeptical about portraying Ricky Ricardo. She also states that Marl Young was the first African American Musical Director of a major television show. Lucie calls this episode “Music for Everyone's Ears.”

Lucy says she was at the Wilshire Bowl the night Alice met Phil. This is a reference to Phil Harris' second wife, movie star Alice Faye. Faye herself was mentioned on “The Hollywood Unemployment Follies” (S3;E22) when Lucy and Carol Burnett discover a rack of costumes worn by Faye and Betty Grable. Harris and his orchestra had a regular engagement at the Wilshire Bowl, a restaurant in Hollywood located on Wilshire Boulevard which operated from 1933 to 1943. The building was demolished in 1982. Harris married actress / singer Alice Faye in 1941. Lucy says if she'd gotten to the Wilshire Bowl five minutes sooner she might be Mrs. Phil Harris!

“Phil Harris, popular star of stage screen and television, is taking a sentimental journey back into the music business. Between Las Vegas engagements, Phil is organizing a big band to encourage the increasing popularity of this kind of music. The former maestro has been engaged by the Club Internationale to inaugurate a big band policy for this popular night spot. He is looking for musicians with big band know-how to augment his orchestra now in rehearsal.”

Lucy's morning paper of choice is the Globe-Record. “Here's Lucy” propmaster Kenneth Westcott probably got this newspaper from from a small prop company called The Earl Hays Press, one of the oldest newspaper prop manufacturers in Hollywood.

As the series draws to a close, it might be a good time to mention the ubiquitous blue report covers used at the Unique Employment Agency. The use of this color cover dates back to the Westland bank offices on “The Lucy Show.” These are probably bound scripts recycled as props – but always with the blue cover.  Blue was a good color for Lucy!  

To drum up business, Harry arranges a lunch meeting with the Northshore Insurance Company. In many episodes like this one, Gale Gordon's character is in the set-up (generally the first scene) and then disappears from the narrative. 

When Lucy arrives at the nightclub, Phil Harris is finishing a rehearsal of “Is It True What They Say About Dixie?" a 1936 song written by Irving Caesar, Sammy Lerner and Gerald Marks. 

Lucy tells Harris that they have met before. She had Harris autograph her program during his performances at the Frontier in Las Vegas the previous summer. Lucy says she took the bus to Vegas. Frontier was the second resort that opened on the Las Vegas Strip and operated continuously from October 1942 until it closed on July 16, 2007 and was demolished. The Frontier's sign was glimpsed in the opening montage of “Lucy and Wayne Newton” (S2;E22).

When Mr. Yamoto (who is of Japanese descent) continually bows instead of speaks, Lucy reassures Harris that he's very good. Harris replies “Must be. He ain't hit a note and he's already taking bows.”

When Harris questions Lucy about the number of minorities she's brought to audition, he admits that he is Native American himself, but he doesn't let it get around because “they might cut off my whiskey.” He adds if it wasn't for [Equal] Opportunity, he might be “stringing beads at Wounded Knee.” I reality, the idea that Harris was Native American is as exaggerated as his penchant for spirits. Harris' birth name was Wonga, which is Cherokee for “speedy messenger” but the name is in honor of a friend of his parents' who worked in their circus; nothing to do with his heritage. 

The only candidate that doesn't get to perform solo is named Malikalua. He is a Hawaiian guitar player who Lucy claims works as a plumber during the day but sometimes subs with the Les Brown Band at night. In the final performance the guitarist on the bandstand wears a Hawaiian shirt and many colorful leis around his neck.  This is Malikalua. 

Phil Harris: Look, honey. Are you from the employment agency or the United Nations?

To appease a women’s lib group picketing the nightclub, Lucy is quickly recruited into Harris' act. She provides the obligatory clapping for “Deep in the Heart of Texas.” In “Lucy and the Used Car Dealer” (S2;E9) Lucy Carter disguises herself as ‘Laredo Lucy’ and sings a bit of “Deep in the Heart of Texas,” a 1941 song by June Hershey and Don Swander.

Harris sings his hit song “That’s What I Like About the South” by Andy Razlaf and is joined by Lucy and his recently hired musicians. Specially written lyrics are sung by the diverse musicians and by Lucy.  Her's seem particularly applicable to her character in Mame, although it is not overtly stated: 

“Men have names like Beauregard

Tip their hat when they pass your yard

They act so cool but they fall so hard

That's what I like about the South”

In the about-to-be-released film, Southern gentleman Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside (Robert Preston) “falls so hard” for Mame Dennis (Lucille Ball) that the two get married.  

During Harris' performance at the Club Internationale, the orchestra members stand up and take solos:

His trombonist plays in the style of Tommy Dorsey. Dorsey appeared with Lucille Ball in the 1943 film DuBarry Was a Lady. The uncredited musician riffs on “Marie” by Irving Berlin.

His trumpeter plays in the style of Harry James. James appeared on “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” with his wife, Betty Grable, in 1958. The uncredited musician riffs on "Ciribiribin" written by Alberto Pestalozza in 1898.

His clarinetist Ted Nash plays in the style of Benny Goodman. In “The Publicity Agent” (ILL S1;E31) Lucy reads that the Shah of Persia has a standing order for all Benny Goodman's records, which inspires her disguise as the Maharincess of Franistan. Nash riffs on “Let's Dance” by Fanny Mae Baldridge, Gregory Stone, and Joseph Bonime.

His drummer plays in the manner of Gene Krupa. In a 1960 episode of “The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour” Ernie Kovacs called Desi Arnaz “the Cuban Krupa.” The uncredited musician riffs on “Sing, Sing, Sing” by Louis Prima.

Pianist Marl Young plays in the style of Duke Ellington, riffing on"Take the 'A' Train" by Billy Strayhorn. It was the signature tune of the Duke Ellington orchestra.

As the finale, the entire Phil Harris orchestra plays in the style of Count Basie performing Basie's signature tune “One O'Clock Jump” while Lucy does the jitterbug.

In “Lucy and Sid Caesar” (TLS S6;E23), a starving Frankie the Forger (Sid Caesar) orders pork chops, a squab stuffed with oyster dressing, a turkey, lasagna, black-eyed peas, candied yams, corn pone, Virginia hams, hot bread, turnip beans, fat back, and lima beans!  He is paraphrasing the lyrics to the song “That’s What I Like About the South.” Interestingly, the song was not performed by Phil Harris when he was a guest star on “The Lucy Show” just a month earlier.

Bob O'Brien also wrote “Lucy and Phil Harris” (TLS S6;E20), Harris' first appearance with Lucille Ball on “The Lucy Show” in 1968. It was O'Brien's idea to highlight ethnic diversity in the “Here’s Lucy” script.  

The costumes Lucy provides for the new band members are reminiscent of “The Black Wig” (ILL S3;E26) where Lucy Ricardo and Ethel Mertz disguise themselves in a random assortment of theatrical costumes to fool their husbands. Lucy replies that Ethel looks like “An ad for a trip around the world.”

In “Little Ricky Gets a Dog” (ILL S6;E14) on January 21, 1957) his parakeets are named Alice and Phil, named after Alice Faye and her husband Phil Harris.

You Break Me Up, Pastel!  Harris' punchline “they might cut off my whiskey” makes Lucille Ball laugh in a way that suggests it was an ad lib by Harris. He mutters something under his breath to Ball along the lines of “Cut off his whiskey. You like that?”  They try to return to the script, but Harris adds “You like that, eh Pastel?” before Lucy regains her composure and continues the scene.

“Lucy and Phil Harris Strike Up the Band” rates 4 Paper Hearts out of 5

Lucy and Harris have a very relaxed rapport on screen.  The ‘big band’ medley is one of the best musical segments of the series.  And that’s what I liked about this episode!

The Verses / The Wants

Current verses on the blog:

Canon, Canon-ish, and Ancient Rome/Syria Verses:

Canon: RPs that fit within the canon verse. (tag)

Canon divergent/AU: RPs that diverge from canon, but take place within the canon universe. (tag)

Batiatus AU: Nasir/Tiberius’ Dominus went into debt and Nasir was sold off after watching his villa crumble and empty of slaves. He winds up on the same slave cart Batiatus purchased in entirety in S1, and is thrust into Pietros’ former position as assistant to the Doctore. (tag)

Gladiator AU: Nasir grew up in Syria, and his father ran one of the most powerful citizens militias left after most were wiped out years before. When he was twenty, Nasir took over when his father was killed. A year later, he was captured by Romans and sold to a ludus. (More detail on this verse here.) (tag)

Fucking Syrian AU: Same backstory as the Gladiator AU, except Nasir was never sold to a ludus. How and why he ends up in Rome may vary. (tag)

Other:

Modern AU: V1. Nasir Azmeh was orphaned a young age with his little brother. In some versions, he grows up with said brother, and others he is separated by adoption at a young age. Either way, he has a rough childhood. He struggles in school, gets into fights more often than he should, and uses drugs occasionally. He began to heal through creating art, starting in his teens. In college versions of his modern AU, he studies painting and psychology, and wants to become a successful painter. (tag)

Modern AU (V2): AKA Sex Worker Verse, a closer to canon version. Nasir Azmeh was severely neglected as a child until he met an older man  who took him in and actually cared for him, not recognizing the man as an abuser at such a tender age. This man, Quint–short for Quintus Batiatus, for my Spartacus peeps–eventually manipulated Nasir into sex work in his teens*, which he was unable to break free of until his early 20s. He has very little formal education, but he’s smart and is good at reading people. He is a skilled artist and painter, and generally a gentle soul once he lets you in. However, if he is still immersed in the world he shares with Quint when you meet him, he will resist intimacy strongly, and may lash out if he feels vulnerable. In this verse, he usually lashes out more with words than fists. (*In spite of headcanon, mun does NOT write underage sex/rape.) Let me know if you specifically want this verse! (tag)

Daddy AUs: A collection of several verses with @provemyselfalone and @nothornlessroses. Nasir has either “adopted” a reincarnated version of Duro as a son after the war, is actually reincarnated Duro’s biological father due to unusual circumstances, or helped raise Gwyn (daughter of Sibyl and Gannicus) after the war. I am open to other daddy AUs, if chemistry is right. Nasir loves to be a dad.

Single Daddy AU: (This verse is highly selective, and available to only those I’ve established strong ships with, romantic or platonic.) Having no strong role models and not knowing any openly gay men, Nasir stayed closeted in his teens. He had a couple girlfriends, and wound up getting one pregnant. The mother didn’t want to keep the baby, and Nasir wound up a single dad at 18. He struggled to clean up his act (reigning in his temper and getting away from his occasional drug use). Instead of pursuing fine arts in school, he pursued graphic design, and later got a job as a web designer to support himself and his little girl, Kalila.

Reincarnation AU: A variation on modern verse, where Nasir often dreams of being a wild, little warrior dog. He also has a fascination with the ancient Roman slave rebellions, but won’t tell you why, lest you think him crazy.

Vampire AU: Info. (tag)

Zombie Apocalypse AU: Either generic, or I can play in some specific verses (I’m behind on TWD and Z Nation, but catching up on the latter). (tag)

Crossover: The Originals: Variation of his main vampire AU. He’s 900-something years old and his abilities fit the TO verse. (tag)

More verses and crossovers available, just ask.

Wanted Interactions:

Spartacus: Castus, Chadara, Crixus, Kore, Lugo, Laeta, Oenomaus, or any, really! (I have only listed muses that Nasir does not already have an active version of them who wants to write with him.)

Muses From: The 100, Criminal Minds, Doctor Who, Jessica Jones, the MCU*, The Originals**, Orphan Black, Star Wars, Stranger Things, Supernatural, The Walking Dead***, Z Nation, and So. Many. More. Just ask!

And ALWAYS looking for good OCs. :)

[*I’m just getting into the MCU 900 years too late, so be patient with me.  **No Klauses need apply; I’m exclusive with one already. ***I’ve seen through S6, and know some major S7 spoilers.
