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.

will finds the tree in-between takes, a little ways downstream from the bridge scene. it's wide-trunked with low sturdy branches, and by lunchtime georgie and skandar are also climbing all over it, while andrew stands with his hands on his hips yelling up at them about youthful illusions of invulnerability and how hospital bills aren't covered by the film budget.
"it's difficult acting in plaster casts, you know!" he warns.
this is when anna and ben come along, and with teamwork they manage to talk skandar and georgie down from the tree. ("i'm going to eat all the parfaits," anna threatens.)
"go ahead," ben says to them. "i'll get will."
"you just want to go tree-climbing," georgie accuses, and ben grins at her.
"don't fall," is all andrew says to him, and then they make their way to the catering truck
ben climbs the tree.
things never look as high as they are from the ground. ben looks down halfway up the tree, and promises himself he won't do so again unless it's absolutely necessary. will is perched on the highest branch that can support his weight, and ben settles himself on a nearby branch.
will says, "what's up, barnes?"
"what are you doing up here?"
"waiting for georgie to get out of the tree, and for you to get up here," he shrugs. "so i can do this."
he leans forward and kisses ben, and it's just as sweet as the first time. (behind the sugar-glass panel from the white witch scene. georgie caught them and, after the giggling subsided, she winked dramatically at them and skipped away.)
ben smiles against will's lips. "you knew i would come?"
"what? aren't i irresistible?"
"oh please. you know caspian's the handsome one."
"that's crazy talk," says will. "i bet there'll be more peter posters sold than caspian posters. you'll see. you'll see, and then you'll cry about it."
"oh yeah?" ben challenges. "they're making a pillow with my face on one side and aslan's on the other."
will laughs.
"no," says ben. "really."
will's laughter tapers off, and then he gives ben the fish-eye. "seriously?"
"are we done? do you want to come down now?"
"i'm not really hungry. and the view's pretty nice from up here."
"i'm not hungry either," says ben slowly.
will looks at him, and ben just grins and waggles his eyebrows.
"you look like a crazy person when you do that," will informs him.
"i'll take that as a yes."
"i'll race you to your trailer."
"no, we have to climb down carefully--"
"go!"
"hey!"
will wins the race. but, all things considered, it's pretty even in the end.
(you have no idea how often i kept on typing peter and caspian instead of ben and will.)
