it's gonna rot my brain

HOLD UP. So is 'Leverage' pretty much a second-rate rip-off of 'Hustle'?! Shit, 'Hustle' is like a flashier, sexier, cheekier, British 'Leverage'! Except I guess 'Leverage' is the American 'Hustle'. WHATEVER. I've only watched three 'Hustle' episodes and already we have gratuitous bum shots. 'Leverage' fancies itself a modern Robin Hood story (omg the insurance company angst is ridiculous), but 'Hustle' has an episode where all they do is screw around with each other. These two shows want to be 'Ocean's 11' when they grow up, but 'Hustle' is a little better at it.

I am a fan of this phenomenon that whenever something British tries to portray an American, the American is always a swaggering Southerner who says things like 'grandpappy'.

As you can maybe tell, I'm watching an asston of television. WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME, ONDEMAND AND HOLIDAY MARATHONS. 'House' is like a monster-of-the-week show except with medicine. 'Psych' is like 'The OC' fifteen years later if Seth developed photographic memory (or whatever) and Ryan became black and uptight. So, maybe not like 'The OC' after all. Anyway, 'Avatar' is wacky (OH IROH. AND SOKKA). 'Stargate Atlantis' is like I don't know what it's like. It's actually pretty tight, which is a change from the kind of TV I usually watch. Same goes for 'Battlestar Galactica'. The characters are pretty solid and the special effects aren't bad, but I'm coming from 'Merlin' here so I dunno. Sheppard's kind of a douche, but bite me off a piece of Ronon Dex rawrrrr.


Meme time! Pick any of my fics from any fandom and I'll drabble a missing scene. All my fics are here.
