upcoming: more novakcest. BUT FIRST:

[whynot]

LJ notifications are being very terrible! I'm getting notifications from like a week ago. In better news though, AAAHH OMFG: spn_nextgen. COME TO ME, AARON/CLAIRE OTP.

But Lass, what are your thoughts on TV?

Nikita

- This show is still magic, especially Amanda. I have successfully unseen her as the terrible mother from Vampire Diaries and The OC. Amanda, so amazing.

- Okay, in the first half of the season I have been meh about Michael ships, but make him encroach on Alex and I am all over that, apparently. Oh hai creepy personal space and privacy invasions. BRING ON THE INAPPROPRIATE FEELINGS AND THE MANIPULATION THEREOF. Oh, man, why are none of my ships happy (except maybe you, Mishalecki, for now)? Michael crashes Alex's dinner date and I am all >D OIC.

- But my true feelings lie with Michael/Alex/Nikita. The scene where Michael and Nikita are basically fighting over Alex, and Michael kept on saying MY AGENT? Fuck yeah. Michael just wants his agent back. His agent.

- I'm not feeling Alex's love interest. I don't even remember his name. I thought for sure he was a plant that was gonna fuck shit up. idk, something about him just screams 'douche' to me! I fully cop to my Alex/Nikita OTP goggles being in the way, though.

- That final scene with Michael in Nikita's loft? Well played. OMG WHAT HAPPENS NEXT TELL ME NOW NOW.

- BRING BACK DEVON SAWA.


The Good Wife

- NGL, every time I see Childs on-screen, I am like ARGH IT'S WAR RUN ALICIA RUUUUNNNNNN.

- Judge Abernathy still cracks my shit up. I just want to hang out and weave baskets with him.

- I was so thrilled to see FBI Agent Lana back on my screen and attempting her very best to seduce Kalinda! UNF OMG. I both love and hate Kalinda for cockblocking, though. Also, Kalinda is (still) magic because whereas before I loathed the idea of Blake/Kalinda (even hatesex) and was LOL at Cary/Kalinda, canon has made me enjoy scenes of both. CAN WE TALK ABOUT BLAKE AND KALINDA STRIPPING EACH OTHER DOWN TO UNDERWEAR? AND KALINDA SLAMMING BLAKE AGAINST THE WALL? AND THEN THE BASEBALL BAT!! She is my hero. Can we talk about Cary trying to protect Kalinda, d'aaaawwww. ahahaha I am so easy: if you try your damndest support Kalinda, I will like you.

- I love Diane/Kurt so fucking much. So fucking much do I love them. And I love that when she turned down his invitation to go away with him, he said SHE IS HIS HERO. OH MY FUCKING GOD. WHAT KIND OF A TELEVISION SHOW IS THIS, HOW IS IT SO GOOD AND EVERYTHING WE NEED TO HEAR?!??

- Wendy's nanny is gonna haunt me the same way the jury POV episode still haunts me. God fucking damn, that is cold.

- IDK, I JUST LOVE EVERYTHING, TALK TO ME ABOUT EVERYTHING


Being Human UK

- NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AND I WAS JUST BEGINNING TO WARM TO NANCY BUT WHATEVER OH NO THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT EVERYONE IS BREAKING UP WITH EACH OTHER NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I realize this is important for plot reasons, but mostly I just want to stab things until everyone is BFFs again. People who felt upset at the Sam&Dean relationship in S4, I understand you now!


The Good Wife is only pretending to be a show about lawyers. It's actually a show about sneaky political maneuvering. Okay, it's sometimes about bleeding-heart lawyers, whatever, but most times it's about power struggles and how to play the public and how good people sometimes lose. In a different show, these people would be antagonists. In this show, it's not that clear-cut. "Being right is the last refuge of the loser," said Will. Also, look at this clip of Lana trying to seduce Kalinda as Kalinda tries to get information from her.

In more important news, Dreamwidth has help_japan. It's not a mirror of help_japan and the bidding is in pounds. If you are an artist and also interested in doing something non-fannish to help, there is Art for Japan. The LJ help_japan community has put together a great list of various charities, and it will be continuously updated.

Aha, I dunno, I saw it on tumblr and it pretty much describes how I feel about the show, sooo. Yeah, see, I was totally eyerolling at K/C last season, but this season, idk, it feels right to me. Like, yes, no one deserves Kalinda, she is too good for everyone, but she seems to genuinely like Cary, and Alicia, and I love how it sort of surprises even her? The last episode, with her giving her change of address to them both, perfectly illustrated that to me. And I like how her liking Cary sort of crept up on him, like she started out irritated by him, and then she was just using him, and then it's like, oh hey, I sorta like you, you're not as terrible as I thought you were. And Alicia and Kalinda together makes me vomit rainbows and see unicorns and stuff.

Although someone made an argument for Kalinda/Will, and I was like, "...I could be persuaded..." Although Diane and Will arg arg, basically I ship everyone/everyone on this damn show.

I liked Bond sorta too! I mean, at the beginning, I definitely did (the fact that Michael Ealy looks like..Michael Ealy also helps), and I wanted him to be another person to appreciate Alicia and take her away, a bit, from Will. I have to admit, I wasn't wild about the whole "black lawyer dude is in cahoots with black drug dealer" storyline, but seeing Julius's shit-eating grin during the vote last episode almost made up for it.

I just can't with Blake. I have no patience for him, and I am not interested and I don't care. Pls be going back to where ever the hell you are from. Although I did enjoy all the Blake/Cary confrontations, they were hilarious.

LOL I do like the kids, I think we're supposed to find them exasperating at times, just like kids sometimes are. And OMG Alicia's face in that scene. I fucking love her.

How do you feel about the Alicia/Will storyline?

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

To be honest, Kalinda liking and respecting anyone totally creeps up on me unknowingly. I think the pedestal I put her on is too high. Cary is interesting in that he seems to have both mellowed out and become sharper. Whereas before his driven-ness is manifested mainly as asskissing, now it seems more focused. He's more interesting now that his primary motivation isn't to be smugly victorious.

I could definitely be persuaded to see Kalinda/Will, but idk, maybe more as a crazy kinkmeme kinda thing. It's weird, I don't fan The Good Wife the same way I fan Merlin or Supernatural. I think because The Good Wife doesn't run on crack, hahaha, so my shipping practice is not just "SHIP ALL THE THINGS!!" Everyone's relationships are so interesting as they are, and I find myself wanting more of the same instead of wanting to take it one step out of canon, y'know? I, uh, don't feel the need to compulsively eroticize everything.

You know I have always been big on Will/Alicia, but I am less enthusiastic these days. It doesn't give me as many butterflies. I kind of miss it. The show is slowly showing her becoming :| at Will's morals though, so maybe that is part of it. Part of it is maybe that I haven't been keeping up with this show for like a month and a half. A big part of it is that Peter has actually become an interesting character, whereas he was cardboard to me before. I love Alicia and Will fumbling towards each other, but I also like her beginning to patch things up with Peter. I don't know who I am rooting for anymore in the long-term. I still lean a little more towards Will/Alicia, but I just want Alicia to be happyyyyyyyyyy.

HAHAHA I WAS SO HAPPY ABOUT JULIUS. I was seriously D: that he was gonna sell out his friends to Bond, but when that didn't happen, oh the victory arms.

[anjali-organna.livejournal.com]

Ahahah, I agree with pretty much everything you said here. YES to how and why Cary's become more interesting, and yes yes yes to Will/Alicia. I've actually started to have fond feelings for Peter/Alicia...which is weird cause normally I am not fond of cheaters. But I love watching Peter struggling to be a good guy and then just gutting his opponents at the same time.

The Kalinda/Will thing was more like, hmm that COULD be really interesting, especially since I think Kalinda probably understands Will as he is better than Alicia does, while Will likes the idea of being the person Alicia thinks (thought) he is, rather than the person he actually is. But I also love the idea of Will and Diane.

LOL no I understand what you mean about viewing TGW differently. I am terrified to go into TGW fandom because I'm fairly happy with the show as-is, and as it's presented to me; I don't feel the need to fanwank like I do with other shows.

MORE JULIUS. Also that other dude, the family law dude, because he is hilarious.

Re: BH, I don't know, I just wasn't super excited about where Mitchell/Annie was going because I love Annie and I hate to see her get hurt, but from the last episode, I understand Annie smacked him down? So I need to see that. The werewolves though can do nothing wrong, I love them with the fire of a thousand suns.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I'm not that fond of Peter/Alicia, more like I am less :-/ at them. Now I am neutral, ship-wise at Peter/Alicia. I am happy at the story and feel it is right, but the personal investment of shipping eludes me. I would just rather these people stay friends, really. They're beautiful as friends! Will and Diane, the most beautiful of friends.

Is there even TFW fandom? Does it have much fic?

I am pretty sure I have seen family law dude in other things as the antagonist. He makes a good douche! A+

I was kind of surprised that it went there with Mitchell/Annie, in terms of the romance, and then in terms of breaking them up. That's a lot of feelings to squeeze into a couple of episodes, Show! It's not that Annie knocked him down, it's that she appealed to him to defy his world and listen to his morals. Really awesome shippy stuff, really, but difficult for me to get behind on account of how it all ends in woe. I am enjoying the story, but I dislike what it's doing to its characters. :((((( So I am like "YAY THIS IS AN AWESOME SHOW that wants to stab my heart until I die of grief." Fandom makes me unable to speak in anything but hyperbole anymore.

[anjali-organna.livejournal.com]

Haha, no I get you. Personally, if I had my way, Alicia would be by herself and have all these grand adventures where she gets to discover herself again after all these years.

I don't know--I don't think there's much? But yeah. Actively avoiding, except for tumblr picspams.

Re: BH. Have you seen the finale??

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I HAVE NOT. I keep forgetting when we get new ones and it always sneaks up on me as a pleasant surprise. Well, that's something for the to-do list.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I'M HALFWAY THROUGH THE FINALE OMG SWALLOW SADNESS LIKE A BOSS ;________;

[anjali-organna.livejournal.com]
