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.

WAIT THESE ARE ALL MY THOUGHTS ABOUT THE GOOD WIFE TOOOOO. KALINDA OMFGOFGFMGFMGOMODFGHSEKJHSDKJFA;SLKFJQEJRSDF THERE ARE NO WORDS. ALSO KALINDA IS THE ONLY CHARACTER WHO--TWICE NOW!--I HAVE BEEN LIKE "YOU USE THAT BASEBALL BAT, KALINDA! DESTROY THINGS! VANDALIZE THAT CAR! BEAT BLAKE UP! WHEEEE!"

I do not know what this says about me.

Kaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinda.

Also I really am liking Alicia's brother a lot! And I am loving that I don't know what endgame is for this show.

OMG WENDY'S NANNY I WANTED TO CRY. I really wanted Eli not to do it! And then--and then--asdalkjd--this show impresses me so much by how they don't do things the way I expect.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

Oh god, I get such schadenfreude seeing Kalinda fuck with Blake. It's weird but I think The Good Wife is the one show (aside from maybe Nikita) where I buy into what canon is trying to tell me about characters and which ones I should be sympathetic to. Probably because their characters are complex and are all arguably sympathetic. Like I was telling Anjali up there, with Merlin and SPN my reaction to them is pretty much "TROLLOLOLOLOLOL OKAY THEN" and then I subvert all the things, but I'm kind of surprised by how ~seriously I'm taking The Good Wife. I liked Bond, BUT I was thrilled when Will and Diane became friends again! Suddenly I realize how people felt who are more invested in Sam/Dean than I am.

I DIDN'T WANT ELI TO DO IT BUT I DIDN'T SEE HOW HE COULD AVOID IT. I'M GLAD HE WAS CONFLICTED. GLAD. BUT OH MY GOD THAT POOR GIRL. Immigration issues hits me so hard. Like, there was this scene in Hawaii 5-0 where an old man finally got official citizenship and it made me bawl.

HEY LOOK AT WHAT THE FUCK I JUST FOUND ON TUMBLR:

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

Yeah! I love that their characters do shitty things and are complicated and conflicted and we aren't supposed to cheer for certain things, ELI. I--I just like to think she didn't get deported...?

AHAHAHA GOOD QUESTION GUS!

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

I LIKE TO THINK SHAWN AND GUS WATCH SPN RELIGIOUSLY AND SHAWN IS A DEANGIRL and Gus gets angry at Shawn all the time because Shawn has no spoilerfilter and Gus is the BIGGEST SPOILERPHOBE. Except for those times when Gus totally can't resist looking at ONTD_spnparty. Gus is also totally that person who gets into long and involved wanks about characterization and mytharc.

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

Gus writes SPN meta when he is not writing his Lucy/Tumnus Narnia fic Wings of Desire. :p He has long "discussions" when people hate on the mytharc, he really liked it!

LOL SHAWN IS TOTALLY A DEANGIRL. HE THINKS DEAN IS BADASS AND LIKES HOW SMOOTH HE IS.

[twoskeletons.livejournal.com]

And Gus gets all ticked off at Shawn when Shawn complains about how Dean isn't cool anymore and how all he does is cry now. IT'S CALLED CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, SHAWN.

[animus-wyrmis.livejournal.com]

Yeah but why can't he develop to be more badass, Shawn wants to know. This is just dumb!

Gus does not invite Shawn when he goes to cons. (Shawn probably crashes them anyway though.)
