YOU KNOW, WHAT I REALLY NEED IS AN ICON THAT SAYS "HOLY FUCKING SHIT", BUT I'M KIND OF TOO FLAILY TO MAKE ONE RIGHT NOW

...and it's almost done.

So, uh, they're not going to kill her, right? I mean, they only killed Astrid because she was a one-shot character anyway, they needed an excuse to get her out of the picture, and they only killed Adric because he was unpopular, and admittedly I've no idea why they killed Katarina and Sara but they were basically only one- or two-shot characters anyway, and Donna is not a one-shot character and decidedly not unpopular so clearly they have no reason to kill her, right?

...you know, over the past couple months, I've started to grow very apprehensive of weekends. Gee. Wonder why. But there's only two more to worry about, and then, gah. Gah.

TERRIBLE US LIFE ON MARS PILOT IS TERRIBLE.

...unfortunately, it's not terrible enough to get immediately canceled, unless the US television-viewing public displays a sudden and astonishing burst of scruples. I wouldn't say it's good--oh, lord would I not say that--but it's not quite OH DAVID E KELLEY NO material, and people who haven't seen the original would probably think it was okay. Admittedly, that would be because the okay bits were directly copied from the original. And because they wouldn't have been spoiled by the glory of John Simm and Phillip Glenister. There is at least one bit of good news--the new Annie ain't half bad, even if she is conventionally attractive, and she appears to be inexplicably redheaded rather than inexplicably blond, which I consider to be acceptable for some reason. Aside from that? It's meh. I had only a couple of genuine "wait, what?" moments; the rest of it was just a general field of annoyance.

There is a moment in here that, I think, perfectly encapsulates why this pilot irritates me. In the original, when Sam first hears the TV talking to him, he's still dressed--he's unbuttoned his shirt, but there's an undershirt underneath that. In this, he's completely shirtless. To show off his manly, manly muscles. And that, in a nutshell, is why I didn't like it.

Having fiiiinally seen the last two episodes of Reaper, I have a few things to say:

1) Awesome.
2) No, seriously, awesome.
3) Steve and Tony? Especially awesome. Tearing-up awesome.
4) Ahem. Okay. TV, I would like to have a talk with you. I could deal with Heroes. I could deal with Supernatural. Retroactively, I can say that I dealt with Dexter. Pushing Daisies was kind of a surprise, but hey, it wasn't like it was a ship or anything, and besides, I'm sure it will all be explained next season. But now? This is too many. Five shows is too many for this. So what I'm really saying is, STOP IT WITH THE INCEST I GET THE FREAKING POINT ALREADY OH MY GOD.
5) *deep breath*
6) No, seriously. Beyond the obvious, even. Beyond my corrupt little mind. Remember Cady? I think her name was Cady, anyway. Remember how she was the Devil's daughter? Now remember who was dating her? Yeah. Yeah, that ain't just the warped minds of the internet. That shit is canon, probably because they just forgot about it, but hey.
7) FIVE SHOWS NOW. SERIOUSLY.

God, it seriously cannot just be me who gets all confused about their own opinions of something when they read other people's opinions of that something, right?

Hmmmmm.

Blast it all, now I'm going to be antsy and nervous for the rest of the night. Why can't I be antsy and nervous because it was scary? No, I have to be antsy and nervous about plot. Nyaaaaaaa.

Late, late, yes, I know, it's my thing. *grumbles*

In other news, a conversation with vanitashaze inspired me to create this.



Wee bit illegible, I know, but I had fun.

In other other news, I've acquired a taste for Five/Ainley!Master without having seen any of their episodes; I think it's pretty well-established at this point that I'm a special person.

So, Supernatural: am I the only one who is unspeakably thrilled about this? Probably not; I suspect much of the rest of the fandom is as much a drama-llama as I am. It is so very delicious.

(I assume there will be spoilers in the comments, so, you have been warned.)

Also, did anyone else think Guest Star looked rather like Sally Sparrow? I think she did. And, because I feel like sharing, have a link to a silly little Doctor Who vid. Oh, Ten. You shameless accidental man-whore.
AND ANOTHER ONE. Less of Ten being a shameless accidental man-whore, more of the Master being the star of a Disney movie. No, seriously. Check it out.

I also watched Waitress with the fam, and it's very sweet, and Nathan Fillion is also very sweet, and between it and Pushing Daisies I suspect I am developing a pie fetish, and it's very weird to see someone on screen you know was murdered not long after filming that. Adrienne Shelley is just so...well, sweet. Life is weird. So it goes.

And now, off I go to watch more 'The Face of Evil', because OMG FOUR and OMG LEELA and OMG FOUR AND LEELA and I pretty much can't stop flailing about them. She killed three people in a rather nasty way in the first part of her first episode! HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE HER.

You know, the reason I waited to make this post was because I wanted to make an icon for it first. It's true. Shut up.

House tonight, and the weather forecast is reading MOAR GAY. Oh dear. JUST LET ME STICK WITH SOMETHING, I SWEAR TO GOD. *flails at the fandom gods*

You know, I was going to say "man, that actor looks a lot like Sam, doesn't he", but then I remembered which show I was talking about and I had to clarify Sam Oliver; there are way, way too many damn Sams. (And all of their names end with -er. No, seriously. Oliver, Winchester, Tyler, Carter...it's a conspiracy of something, I'm sure.) Also, AHAHAHA I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DID THAT.

D'awww, boys. And girls. And...things shaped like boys and girls. But not Sam's new hair. It makes me uneasy on a fundamental level and I have no idea why.

Also, hey, where'd Gladys go? I miss Gladys. I liked her.

I decided to go ahead and upload all the songs from the last meme, so, if you are so inclined, head back to the post in question; I assure you, listening to 'I Love It When You Call' will not fail to improve your day. Unless you do not like it, I guess, but I am having difficulty picturing that. SO ANYWAY.

And does anyone else think the "the bees are going missing" thing is going to become inexplicably significant? They've mentioned it twice now. This season's Bad Wolf, Y/N?
