A TEEVEE POST

I keep on meaning to make reaction posts to Fringe, but they pretty much amount to :D and my overblown delight at alt!Charlie/Bug Lady Anna. (I still just want Charlie&Olivia bromance fic. NEVER FORGET.) Speaking of Julie McNiven, how delighted was I at seeing her pop up in Nikita? AND KALI TOO. The other thing I've been watching is Deadwood, and that is a great show for the "people in shows in other shows" game because omg Carlton Lassiter, Glenn Childs, Veronica Mars, and the one and only Bobby Singer, and basically I watch too much TV. God, how do I even get work done on DCBB BUT I DO SOMEHOW, SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE I THINK OF NOTHING ELSE, and I apologize if I have ambushed you with weird inquiries about weird things, but it is necessary! Totally.

And now, time for spoilery TV posts.


Merlin

I keep on waiting for the other shoe to drop re: Morgana. I can see why her hurt is manifesting itself in manic violence, but I also want to see her heart crack under pressure when struck by unexpected moments of familiarity/tenderness. I want Gwen having enough faith in her to break through and Morgana tries her damndest to resist her overtures. Or I want for Gwen to lose hope in Morgana and just give up, and Morgana is surprised by how much this still hurts. Or Morgana has a facedown with Arthur or Uther, and she is blindsided by FEELINGS. What if for all her talk of hating Uther, she cannot bring herself to move against him until he - in his bravery or senility - cups her face in his hand and tell her he still loves her? What if Arthur invokes family and it only makes Morgana laughsob? WHAT IF MORGANA/GWEN DUBCON AWWW YEAAHHH.



Deadwood

I'm nearing the end of season one. Through the magic of [personal profile] dafnap, Jane is now a Campbell and Bill is the restless spirit whose bones are the first she's had to salt and burn. And the Reverend is a vessel being wooed by an angel. Much like Fringe, my attitude here is mostly I LOVE EVERYONE IN THIS BAR. Alma! Sol! Trixie! Joanie! Veronica Mars! JANE. THE DOC. EVEN SWEARENGEN, THAT BASTARD.

You teared up at "Sofia" too, admit it. TALK TO ME ABOUT THEM ALL. AND ALSO ABOUT FRINGE.



Supernatural

re: Sam and Lucifer
ME: sam/lucifer angel/vessel stuff
it's like jimmy/cas except IT IS THE DEVIL
SAM'S INVISIBLE FRIEND
SAM'S GETTING PUSHED AROUND BY SOME BULLIES AND DEAN ISN'T THERE
and then the bullies get some broken limbs
is that him or is that his ~friend? he's not sure.
LIKE
ONE DAY HE IS GOING ON A WALK OR SOMETHING
IN THE WOODS
WALKING OFF SOME STEAM BECAUSE HE JUST YELLED AT JOHN AND/OR DEAN
and lucifer is like "they don't know you like i know you, sam"
"they don't care like i care"
"I CAN HELP YOU, SAM"
"YOUR FAMILY DOESNT APPRECIATE YOU LIKE I DO, SAM"

[personal profile] zempasuchil: it's awful enough to be jimmy, yeah, woo'd by this angelic thing that asks you to sacrifice yourself for the world and give up your family in service
but it's even more awful to be hounded by Lucifer
he draws all the parallels
he brings you down to his level
you aren't saved and you couldn't possibly be because it is in your blood
Sam Winchester, the boy with the demon blood

ME: do you think ever sam gets upset and lucifer takes him to cool panoramas and then sam wakes up thinking it's a dream?

Z: I want that. I want Lucifer wooing Sam more like he did when he turned into Jess and snuggled up to Sam and stuff.
I also enjoy deanifer a la Sam's 7.02 hellucinations

ME: THE THING I WANT
IS DEAN AND JOHN BEING TRAUMATIZED BY MARY'S DEATH BUT SAM ONLY KNOWS IT AS AN ABSTRACT ANECDOTE PARTLY BECAUSE
lucifer tells him
"you will never have any reason to be afraid of the fire"

Z: lucifer telling sam to stick his hand into the flames, it's okay, it won't hurt you

ME: IT'S LIKE THE BOILING WATER FOR JIMMY
DON'T YOU FEEL POWERFUL
DOESN'T IT FEEL GOOD

Z: what if lucifer tells sam he is an angel first
what if sam prays and lucifer answers

ME: BECAUSE THE DEVIL NEVER LIES!!!

Z: HE DOESN'T NEED TO asdlwvnaeo;inasdkl;jasdgkl

ME: "I THINK ANGELS TALK TO ME" HE SAYS TO PASTOR JIM, WHO'S LIKE D'AWWW
AND WHEN HE GOES TO STANFORD
sam breaks up with his invisible friend
trying to forget all the weird things in his life from before
this is a new life here!
with no crazy family or crazy invisible friends!
but lucifer still stalks him!
IN DREAMS
IN PROMISES THAT HE'LL BE BACK
sam riding out with dean to jericho and when he's dozing in the car, that familiar voice, "did you miss me?"



Limitless

I'm just confused here. I kept on waiting for the main character to completely break down and destroy himself. And yet... he became successful. What was this movie trying to tell me?



I would make a post about H50 too, but all it would contain is AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH COUSIIIIIIINNNNSSSSSS. So. Come talk to me about how the heart aches for Chin and Kono, and how it needs to be Monday already!
