So I have written XF, Hawaii 5-0, Sherlock and White Collar this year,
working on a Sentinel story as well, and I've also been reading
Torchwood, Supernatural and BtVS. OI!! Too many
fandoms!! I actually have a stupid TV schedule now, with a show
almost every night, dammit!
Monday is Hawaii Five-0, which is even gayer than Sherlock, hallelujah,
and is stupid in that delicious Sentinel way--hell, it's Sentinel with
a budget! AOL is beautiful and tattooed and Australian in real life,
takes a beating like a pro, and has made his character, Steve,
absolutely breathtaking---he's a combination of super ninja robot SEAL
and gooshy pile of almost crying vulnerability. And he's in love with
Danny! Scott Caan plays Danny with his heart not just on his sleeve but
dripping all over the pavement! And he loves Steve! The show is funny
(the carguments rock!) and serious and full of all those "uh oh, the
show just got too gay, quick, blow something up" moments that are my
sekrit shame *L*
Tuesday is Glee day, and I still really want whassisname, the football
player to come out, apologize to Kurt and for them to start dating.
Blaine still screams date-rapist to me, but I think it's just cos the
actor is str8 in real life and I can smell it on him. And for the
record, Kurt's dad is the most awesome dad on the planet (followed by
Danny, of course) And Tuesday is also White Collar (although we don't
get it here so I have to download it Wed mornings). Neal and Peter,
Peter and Neal. Took two seasons for them to hug, and then the finale
blew it all to hell. I just have to say, though, kudos to Neal, so very
desperately in love with Peter, for cowboying up finally and calling
Peter on his trust issues. Yeah, I get it, Neal's a conman, but really,
Peter, after two years, Neal deserves at least a conversation. So I was
very proud of Neal, with heart breaking, when he says "Prove it" Just
growls it. mmmm. And really, have you seen Matt Bomer without a shirt?
Wednesday is Supernatural, now in season six and struggling a bit,
although the meta episode was full of win!! J2 are delicious still,
although I am all about Castiel. As a friend said, he's a kitten in a
trenchcoat and I love that he loves Dean and was willing to throw over
heaven for the guy! Kripke, Like Eastin, knows what side his bread is
slashed on, and he plays to the fans all the time. There are no women
in that world, or if there are, they are always dead or evil by the end
of the episode *L* Also, Mitch Pileggi in a recurring role.
Hooray!
Thursday is Big Bang Theory. We loves us some Sheldon Cooper and
apparently Jim Parsons proposed to his husband the night he got
nominated for an emmy! He's got a bit of OCD and I'm a little hot for
his overwashed hands. Also, he's sweet and tall and one of three
apologies we've gotten from Texas so far, with the other two being
Mitch Pileggi and Matt Bomer. Doesn't nearly make up for Bush and all
the rest of it, but it's a start. Also, BBT has so many delicious big
words it almost hurts my box! And the best theme song on television!!
This is the last year of Ace of Cakes which breaks my heart (also
on Thursdays) and Geoff Manthorn still needs to marry me! He's the
coolest dude I have ever seen! I'd love to see him coming all unglued
under someone!
Not much on the weekends, although Doctor Who (Saturdays) is coming
back in April and Top Gear (Sundays) is coming back in June. I miss
Matt Smith something fierce and cannot wait to see where the Doctor
takes us this year. We know bowties and fezzes are cool, and apparently
stetsons are going to be cool as well. Also, unusually, I adore Amy and
Rory and hope they get to leave the Doctor happily in the end. Matt
Smith is doing a Chris Isherwood tv movie on the 19th that I'll have to
download. mmmmm, Isherwood.....mmmm, Matt Smith in the clutches of many
other pasty English and German lads--I'm in!! And the Top Gear
boys are as brilliant as ever, possibly more so lately--less scripted
with lots of natural laughter and silliness. Richard took one on the
chin for his comments about Mexicans, but seriously, we all were
thinking it, and I thought it was great that he gave that to Jezza.
James and Richard both got haircuts, and I love James' but I loved the
long hair on Richard. I still want a Veyron, and adore all Astin
Martins, but, blasphemy that it is, although Richard might agree, I
really really love Danny's Camaro on H5-0.
Torchwood is coming back in June or July and I can't really find it in
me to care. The plot sounds stupid and it seems like it's just Gwenwood
now and I never much liked her anyway. I miss the heck outta
Barrowman--for a while he was on everything and now I never get to see
him :( But unless they give him some strong angst about Ianto at
the start, it will be hard for me to watch. If RTD makes it like Ianto,
Tosh and Owen never existed, I won't watch. I can't. Ianto's shrine is
still up in Cardiff, two years later!!! Take that, RTD!!
Finally, there's Sherlock. And since that will take up another two
hours and ten pages, I think I'll save it for it's own entry. Just know
I am completely Cumberbatched in every way it's possible to be, and I
am seeing NT's Frankenstein next Thursday. My ovaries will probably
explode.
And what are YOU watching?
