Christ, how did it get to be one in the morning? This may not be as
long as I originally intended.
I have to tell you about Suits, though, cos it's awesome. Hard to
believe I'm saying that about a show where the male lead is a TOP, but
there you go. Guess even I can present for someone. And I guess it's
only fair since all the rest of them are bottoms now. Haven't said yes
to a top since Skinner. But Macht just pulls off this awesome Harvey,
even when he's in the middle of a meltdown. And all the cast is
awesome. I even like the chicks. How does that even happen? The writing
is so smart it could almost be British. Alas, the season is over,
though, and nothing new until June, I heard. Bitches!!! This summer
series, mid season, weird start dates, 13 episodes thing is a total
trend with cable channels now. Thanks BBC. They were the ones that
started it!! Conversely, there's H50...
Oh, Hawaii Five 0, you big dumb American, I love you just the way you
are. With your awful plots and sexy cast. With your epic bromance and
your complete disregard for women as more than just models for
swimsuits *L* With your cliche'd Jersey boy and your Daddy Issue King
and emotionally stunted SEAL. Did I mention your September start date
and of course your 24 episode season? Don't ever change *LOL
No Sherlock until January, and TTSS has been pushed back until
December. I hear Third Star is out on dvd in the UK on Monday, though,
so hopefully some kind soul will upload it. Cos really, how can I live
without a Benedict Cumberbatch as cancer boy film in my life.
Seriously. He is at this point so beyond awesome that we would have to
create a universe called Awesome and then discover a universe beyond
that and that's where all his amazingness comes from. He checks off
more boxes on my perfect man list every day, so much so that I have to
keep adding boxes for things like giggling and dancing and humility and
then he checks those off too. Christ!
Doctor Who makes me so happy. It's not all shouty. It's quietly
brilliant and clever and sneaky, and Matt Smith gets a bit more
interesting and a lot more attractive every day.And Rory, oh Rory, how
did you sneak into awesomeland without us even noticing? And Moffat and
Gatiss and company, you are all so clever and interesting and how in
the world can anyone listen to the words you write and then be content
with the rest of the programming on telly? Like, I dunno, Torchwood,
for example...
If George Lucas has apparently raped some guy's childhood by adding a
soundbyte to ROTJ, then Russel Davies, that stupid queen, has raped
anyone who was ever a fan of the original Torchwood. It's like he sat
back in his crappy American apartment with a glass of cheap white and a
hooker and said "OMG, CoE was so stupid, and yet those fuckers bought
it. I never have to write anything clever again!" It's not like he
can't--QaF was proof of that. No, he decided he would just phone it in
this time around and worry more about rubbing off on rent boys than
coming up with anything smart or interesting. Like, "Ooh, I'm in
America now, so I must dumb my writing down to its lowest extreme. I
must show American audiences that Britain isn't as smart, interesting
or cultured as they've all been led to believe. And while I'm at it,
I'll make dumb gay jokes as well, because now that I'm in
America, I have already grabbed the prerequisite amount of internalized
homophobia required to live here." God!! Now, if he had given Shiban
more than a brief nod and one episode, there might have been something
to salvage. Instead he handed the already crashing train over to that
idiot Espenson who apparently forgot absolutely everything Joss Whedon
taught her, as well as most of the English courses she took at Uni.
However, she did learn how to be an ass to fans, so she must have
picked up something from RTD. They've set the show up to come back, but
Davies has all but abandoned it, and I really don't think anyone is all
that interested. STARZ hopefully made some mad advertising dollars out
of it, because, if what they say is true and it's three years
until the next "epic" series, well, who will care? Thank God for
fanfic, and obviously I'll have to throw my own hat back into that ring.
If you really must watch shit American TV, besides Suits and White
Collar, and you are not hot for Danny and Steve, you might want to give
Franklin and Bash a try. It will probably devolve into a
stupid-fratboy-fartjokes-bullshit show, but for now it is trying to be
smart and funny, and Breckin Meyer is a cutie.
Sugar High is fine, but it's no Ace of Cakes, and I miss Geoff
Manthorne!!
I should be getting a call Monday regarding the Access job and I better
get it, what with me being amazing and all. That's all I have to say
about that.
Okay, so I did get quite a bit written here. I prolly could have just
said "telly sucks" and called it a night, but then I'd be as bad as RTD
*L*
'night, all; see you at church brunch!!!
