In which I have a pity party and beg for recs

[pockysquirrel]

TL;DR, life sucks lately, and the base reason for that is that I have a failboat gallbladder that is going to be surgically evicted from my body in two days. Given that I have a pretty high level of medical anxiety to begin with and zero experience with this sort of thing, I am freaking the fuck out. I mean, come on. I have never had ANY type of surgery before. I still have my wisdom teeth because I found out nitrous oxide doesn't work on me and then had a panic attack in the chair when they went to take them out. The first time I had so much as an IV was when I went to the ER and found out my gallbladder sucks in the first place! And now they are about to remove one of my organs? Yes sir, I am freaking out. Damn right I am freaking out.

But my whining and misery are not the real point of this post, believe it or not. The point is that when I am post-op, doped up on pain meds and rooted to my couch for the following 4 or 5 days, I am going to be super bored. Help me, friends list; you're my only hope. I need you to rec me things. Rec me those awesome super-long fics that I never have time to read. Rec me those shows on Netflix that I would probably really enjoy but have never gotten around to watching. I'm posting this now in hopes of having a good, solid list of stuff by surgery day. I will be a captive audience for almost a week. Coming out on the other side with a new fandom or two would truly be making the best of a shitty situation.

And have I mentioned lately that I love you guys? Just saying. <3<3<3

Firefly, then Serenity warning though Serenity will make you cry.

Lost Girl

Warehouse 13

(These are all on Netflix)

Rewatch all the movies leading up to Avengers then watch Avengers because Avengers.

X-men, any and all you can find.

All the Power Rangers you feel like watching.

I'm gonna rec you Teen Wolf, because it has supernatural shit and humor and I like it and that's what you asked for, so. :P

Also let's see... I'll try to think of more stuff, and maybe write some stuff that you can read like new, too, to keep your spirits up. <3 Surgery is always scary- I've had it 4 times now and always end up a bawling ball of crud beforehand, but it's far less traumatic when you get home and get to be taken care of by people who love you. <3 <3 <3

If it's on Netflix, watch The Tribe. Easy to get into, ridiculously absorbing (also ridiculous, but...) 260 episodes of about twenty four minutes each.

If you have any interest in fics where Lauren lives with other teams, I'm working on a couple and will email them to you. Don't tell anyone. :-)

All on Netflix that I've seen:
Solarbabies (movie) I love love love this movie, but no one's heard of it. It's a little Power Ranger-y, despite being in a post-apocalyptic future
Supernatural
The West Wing
Sherlock
The Guild
(seconding) Warehouse 13
Eureka
You've seen Buffy, Angel, and Dollhouse right? And Dr. Horrible?
The Next Avengers was cute
Mona Lisa Smile
there's quite a bit of classic Who on there, I've seen maybe half of it
Futurama
Red Dwarf!!!
Once Upon a Time
I assume you've seen all the Star Trek on there...
Sliders (if you get into this, let me know, I'll give you the must watch eps for season 3 and you can ignore the really sucky ones. Don't bother with season 5)
X-Men Evolution
seaQuest season 1
