Ah, that familiar moment when I get really into a show that’s old enough it’s completely dead. There is no fanfic, no fanart, no meta. I am screaming into the void about ‘Mission: Impossible’ (1966), because WOW IT’S SO GOOD, and for a show that deliberately minimizes character background, every one of the characters is so vivid. You can pry Barney and Rollin from my cold dead hands, because they’re both delightful. And there is no one screaming back, because this show is also old, and very episodic, and extremely 1960s.
Hello, Dead Fandom, my old friend. I’ve come to shout at you again.
#Mission Impossible (1966)#it's just so fun#and I really like all the characters#and because the show deliberately never went into their backgrounds#or relationships#there's so much room to meta and write fic#and it's all just non-existent#because this show is old#and the fic is probably in print zines somewhere#if it exists at all#blaaaargh#old fandom woes#dead fandom woes#Barney Collier#Rollin Hand#Jim Phelps#Cinnamon Carter#Willy Armitage
