miscellaneous thoughtdump

Time for yet another massive messy miscellaneous thoughtdump on (some of) the shows I'm watching! (In order from Monday to Saturday. Tuesdays and Wednesdays have a terrifying amount of shows D:)

Desperate Housewives: They keep going on hiatus that I can't remember what's going on anymore. Oh, Gabby/doll!Grace = D:

Shameless: Joan Cusack is undoubtedly the best part of the show. ALL THOSE MUFFINS, LMAO. Casey Casden was really fun :D

Castle: Why oh why aren't they together yet?! Beckett was UNF SO HOT in the flirty scene in the club, AND THEN cut to the next scene where she's interrogating the suspect while wearing the gayest vest ever, AND THEN at the end of the episode she's strumming a guitar and singing? BE STILL, MY HEART. BE STILL. And Stana tweeted pics of adorable ducklings on the set!!! :D

Chuck: Oh, Chuck/Sarah :') and baby Awesome! The latest ep with Lesley-Ann Brandt (Naevia from Spartacus) was great. Can't wait for the show to explore Sarah's background, and for us to finally see her family! Pleasepleaseplease be renewed for S5!

Hawaii Five-0: I'm watching this for pretty Hawaii and pretty Grace Park, but why does she look so tired and haggard all the time? Her eyebags are humongous. I just wanna take care of her and make pancakes for her to eat or something :(

The Chicago Code: Should've paid more attention to the pilot, but it's Jennifer Beals and I will keep watching. Watching her onscreen is kinda like watching MLP on Weeds. I have to keep reminding myself to breathe. Speaking of Weeds, I still have seasons 4-6 left to watch. Can't bear to, because that means less MLP ;_;

HIMYM: Still meh on Zoey (STELLA FOREVERRRRR) (and she's clearly not the Mother), but Kitty Purry was pretty darn adorable in the latest ep. OH, HONEY ♥

Pretty Little Liars: This show is all about Spencer's orgasmic (and ridiculous) wardrobe (a beret? really?) and Emily's legs. Also, too many guys. It's confusing.

Being Human US: WARNING: UNPOPULAR OPINION AHEAD. I actually like the US version over the original! I don't know why, because I prefer Mitchell over Aidan, and George is just precious...but Josh is adorable and Sally is less whiny than Annie and I'm starting to like her quite a bit now. It might be because I'm a bit dense, but I find the US version easier to follow. Or maybe it's because I already know what's going to happen. Hm. Either way, I like the remake, and I don't know if I'll continue with the UK series 2 :/

Mr Sunshine: The reviews were pretty good, so I had high expectations. It fell flat for me, though. Maybe because I wasn't paying much attention to it. I'll give it a few more episodes. (Speaking of which, I've dropped Episodes after just 1.5 eps. Not my cup of tea I guess.)

Parenthood: This show can do no wrong in my eyes. I knew Jasmine and Crosby's relationship was going too perfectly to last forever, so the upcoming Crosby/Gabby thing is expected. Minka Kelly is adorable, but for the sake of Jabbar, I hope she doesn't stick around. On a side note, Amber is amazing. (And I've been secretly shipping Amber/Haddie for the longest time. Shh.)

Raising Hope: It's finally back! With the best episode so far. Romeo And Romeo - definitely my favourite, even funnier than Blue Dots :D Jimmy being desperate to make a friend was the cutest thing on earth, except that Hope was EVEN CUTER ♥ Damn, this show. So many warm fuzzies :D

Lights Out: This show moves reallllllly slowly, but it's getting really good. Can't wait to see Lights back in action! The ending of the last ep was so sad :( Oh and bonus: Ella from Fringe! But that means no more Rachel and Ella for Olivia to be gay maternal around? :(

No Ordinary Family: Sigh, this show. I really loved the pilot, thought it was fun and everything, but it's kind of a letdown. I honestly can't see how they're going to advance the story in season two, if they get renewed. It doesn't really interest me? Idk. But I like Julie Benz, and Kay Pandabaker is too cute not to watch. Oh, and Autumn Reeser! I totally ship Stephanie/Katie. Heh. My favourite character's Joshua (the Watcher). So creepily hot, especially his eyes. I hope he doesn't get killed? :(

Hellcats: ABS ABS ABS! Huzzah, the gayness of Savannah/Marti has returned! Alice is such a difficult character - one minute I hate her bitchy guts, the next I feel sorry for her. And she looks so damn hot both ways. Damn. Couldn't care less about the romantic goings-on of the adults.

White Collar: If I don't pay attention at the start, I'll be completely lost throughout the episode. At least there's Matt Boner to stare at ♥ Kinda disappointed at the whole daddy issues trope they're doing, but hey, it's a USA network show. Character development doesn't seem to be their strong point.

Glee: I surprisingly did not hate the last two episodes since it's returned from its! :O The Super Bowl episode was great because, like, OMG THE YEAH YEAH YEAHS? The Warblers need to go, though. So sick of them and their red-lined jackets and they way they shimmy and adjust said jackets all the time. Blaine's serenading of his crush was creepy, okay. Puck's sudden infatuation with Lauren is inexplicable; the writers are bound to screw it up and offend even more people. Less Rachel = always good. I actually found myself missing the good old days when I still genuinely liked Glee and Finn/Quinn were the alpha couple. Sigh, Quinn. And sigh, Brittana in civvy clothes. candystriper!Santana nearly gave me a heart attack. BE MY NURSE? (..... the longest thoughtdump I've written so far is for Glee? gee.)

Traffic Light: Liked it more than I thought I would! Liza Lapira's character is hilarious. Reviews of the first four eps are good, so I'm hoping it gets better!

InSecurity: This Canadian spy spoof is all kinds of ridiculous, but not ridiculous enough as compared to Childrens Hospital (that shit is GOLD). Still, Natalie Lisinska is hot, and Richard Yearwood's exaggerated African accent amuses me. (Yes, I am five years old.) And Natalie is frigging hot. Of course I'm watching it.

How TV Ruined Your Life: I suppose this docu is really insightful and all, but I usually leave it on as background noise/multi-tasking fodder, so I haven't really been paying much attention to it.

Modern Family: What can I say? LOVE ♥ That really is all I want to say :)

The Middle: I don't know a single person irl who watches this. It's not side-splittingly funny, nor would I expressly rec this to people, but I have a great affection for it. Brick's little quirks are definitely my favourite part of the show. (Brick!whisper: liiiiittle quirrrrks...)

Off The Map: Started watching this for Caroline Dhavernas! (oblig: RIP, Wonderfalls) It's the first and only medical drama I'm following (watched a bit of Grey's and Nip/Tuck on TV before, but those don't really count. I watched S1 of Nurse Jackie, but it's not really my thing?), so it's a nice change. It's a tad predictable, but nonetheless, I still like most of the characters and I want to find out more about their ~personal tragedies. Hopefully this'll lead to me catching up on Grey's and House...

Community: GAH, THIS SHOW. ♥ x A BILLION FRILLION. Just watched the Valentine's Day episode, and Gillian Jacobs' hair of liquid gold is so gorgeous I can't. Britta/Paige was amusing, and so very hot. Paige was really cute, and I want her hat! Annie leaning in to kiss Britta...omfg show, you big tease. Troy/Abed continues to be the biggest bromance to ever be bromanced. Would totally do the hot librarian Mariah (those glasses). Britta's hair. Britta's clothes (so gay!). Britta ♥_♥ ...wuh?

Parks And Recreation: HEHE THIS SHOW. Leslie, Ron, April and Andy are HILARIOUS. Starting to find Chris really amusing too, especially the way he kept praising April. His speech pattern is one of a kind! Ron Swanson needs to keep those cornrows, man. Andy is just one big doofus and I wuv him ♥

30 Rock: The Jenna/Tracy subplots haven't really interested me, but I really only watch this show now for the priceless one-liners by Liz and Jack and Kenneth.

Nikita: OH DEAR GOD, HOW GAY WERE NIKITA AND ALEX IN THE "HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY" SCENE? SO INCREDIBLY GAY, THAT'S WHAT. Alex's talk about their ~life on the outside, the ~lie they're living etc...just begging to be taken out of context. And take out of context I most certainly did. Plus, the almond milk Nikita gave Alex at the end of the other episode? SIGH. More Nikita/Alex bonding/kickass scenes please, less Michael. I can't stand him and his pervy beady eyes. Him essentially calling Alex a whore in front of blondie whatshisname was just low, okay. And, show, WHERE'S MELINDA CLARKE? PUT HER BACK ON MY SCREEN.

Fairly Legal: Another frothy USA show...that I won't stop watching because Sarah Shahi is so adorable. (The scene of her in a tshirt without a bra underneath - cruel, show, cruel.) I totally ship Kate/Lauren, and it makes the show even more fun to watch. I just wish Kate wasn't such a Mary Sue :/

Skins: OMG I'M IN LOVE WITH THE THIRD GEN ALREADY. Franky was such a great opening episode :') Rich was an equally good follow-up too! I just love all the colours and moods and angles and music on Skins. Like nothing else I've ever seen. Stopped watching the US version because it's just NOTHING compared to this. I've heard good things about Cadie's ep, so I'm intending to watch that. Otherwise, I'm just sticking to reading Heather Hogan and Rophy's recaps. Still haven't finished S4, though. Fell out of love with gen 2 because it was annoyingly Freddie/Cook/Effy-centric, and Luke Pasqualino's acting just doesn't cut it for me :/ I think gen 3's going to top my love for gen 1. Franky is a potential genderqueer icon (as iconic as Naomily?). Mini is so mean, but it's Skins, and mean all characters on Skins always turn out to be more complex than they are. Grace is adorable. Liv reminds me so much of Jal; I really can't unsee it. Matty's my favourite of the guys. He's got the whole mysterious shtick down pat, and those eyebrows! ♥ Thank goodness for no Anwar/JJ-esque characters in gen 3. The closest is Alo, but he seems rather endearing in a gangly, awkward sort of way. I can deal. /WALL-O-TEXT

Fringe: I'm always at a loss of words when I try to talk about Fringe. The story's so complex that I can't do it justice, partly because I'm sure I don't fully understand all the aspects myself. So I won't embarrass myself by trying, and just say that it's my favourite show and I will cry if it doesn't get renewed for season four and I love Anna Torv so much and she says 'GEE WHIZ' and I want to marry her.

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena: AHHHHHHHHHH! Loving the background on the characters and how they got to where they were in Blood and Sand. Crixus', in particular, is my favourite. Seeing noob!Crixus fight Gannicus (ROCKSTAR GLADIATOR!) was exhilarating. I was always curious about how/why Crixus was so single-mindedly focused on being the best gladiator in BaS, and this prequel is satisfying my curiosity. More Barca and Oenomaus is great, too. It's fascinating seeing Oenomaus unsure in his new role as Doctore, when in BaS he wielded that whip as if he was born with it welded to his hand. Melitta is gorgeous; the Gannicus/Melitta scene was heartbreaking ): giggly!Naevia is a breath of fresh air, but I saw a spoiler for the latest ep D: Speaking of which...Gaia! Jaime Murray is amazing, of course. Those slo-mo shots...ohmygod. I've never appreciated Spartacus' penchant for slo-mo as much as now. But honestly, even without all the gratuitous nudity and sexing, I'd love Spartacus all the same. Only six episodes in this prequel ;_; NOOOOOOOOOOO~

THAT WAS A RATHER SATISFYING THOUGHTDUMP. (...... overshot the 200-character limit for labels. LAME. Fine, one label shall suffice.)

last TV whoring post of 2010.

Rambly thoughts about what I've been watching, again. I shall do this in alphabetical order!

Being Human
Not yet done with the first series, don't know if I'll manage to finish the second before the third starts in January. Hour-long shows + my attention span...not ideal bedfellows. George the werewolf is adorkable, Mitchell the vampire is hot, and Annie the ghost is a tad too mopey for my taste. I'm not really hooked yet, but it's still early days. The Syfy remake looks promising, though I can't stand America's obsession with remaking UK shows. There's less leeway for suckage, since they'll always be compared to the originals.

Burn Notice
Um. Watched 6 eps of the first season so far, and the visual style annoys me greatly. Not really into it, but I guess I'll give it a couple more eps before I decide whether to stop watching it. I wish I didn't even start :/

Castle
BECKETT'S HAIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR OMGGGGGGGG. it took one and a half seasons for her hair to become epically pretty, and it was well worth the wait. Stana Katic and Stana Katic's hair.....UNF. To the nth degree. BECAUSE IT'S JUST THAT PRETTY. In other non-Beckett's hair news, Castle's relationship with his family is as heartwarming as ever. Alexis is all grown up :') I marathoned the show just before it went on hiatus. Worst timing ever, self. I can't wait for it to come backkkk! ♥

Legend of the Seeker
CARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. That is all. Finally started on S2 and I'm five eps in. Cara and her modified Mord Sith costume.......hnnnnnnnnnggggghh. I've seen a bit of Cara/Kahlan eyesexing already, and I can't wait for the hardcore subtexty scenes. My brain is exploding just trying to process teh amounts of pretty. OH OH AND OMG Bridget Regan just had a daughter!!! A bb Confessor, how presh is that?! :') Totally her love child with Tabrett

Leverage
Aw, my first fandom. Waited so long for new eps, and boom!, S3 is over in two weeks. the S1 finale (First/Second David Jobs) will always be my favourite. I think I've been too caught up with other shows to love Leverage as much as I used to.. It's scary how committed fans of a particular show can be. How do they maintain that fervent level of passion? Maybe it's just me and my poor attention span, idk. Maybe one day I'll rediscover my crazy passion for it, maybe not. Nonetheless, this show will always be special because it gave me so much.


My Name Is Earl
Downloaded this long ago, but I only recently started watching it. I think the reason why I have a soft spot in my heart for this show is because they live in a motel, and I have this obsession fascination with motels. Doesn't hurt that Earl and Randy have such a sweet brotherly relationship, Catalina is hot, and Jaime Pressly is hilarious. AND I'M LEARNING A LOT ABOUT KARMA.

Parks and Recreation
The six eps that were S1 were kinda crappy, but S2...just ACE. Fucking love P&R omg!!! Leslie Knope is so enthusiastic and motivated about her job that it's adorkable. I love the cast, with the exception of Aziz Ansari's Tom Haverford. I don't think Rashida Jones does comedy very well (I feel she's like Cobie Smulders/Robin Scherbatsky from HIMYM), but Ann Perkins is sweet. Andy Dwyer is stupid-sweet too! He and April Ludgate are hilarious. I LOVE APRIL. God, Aubrey Plaza's deadpanness is incredible. And I fucking love Ron Swanson and his moustache and alter ego Duke Silver!!! Hahahahaha. This show :D

Project Runway
Finally finished S8, loved both Mondo and Gretchen's collections. Mondo's colours and prints and patterns were absolute ♥, but Gretchen's collection was really chic as well. I could see why the judges were split on their decision.. Oh, Project Runway. Favourite reality series ever.

Psych
Haven't started on S2, but it's a fun show. Shawn/Gus have amazing chemistry and they're hilarious. Not expecting much in terms of character development, since it's by USA. Hmmmmmk that is all.

Pushing Daisies
Only four episodes in. JUDGE ME. Love the whimsical tone of the show and the saturated colours and the pies ♥ ♥ ♥ Lee Pace's eyebrows are adorable, as is Kristin Chenoweth's voice hahaha. It sucks that quirky shows like this and Wonderfalls get cancelled, while tons of other generic shit still stay on air.

Skins
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH SKINS. I started on it a long time ago, but then I shelved it. Just completed gen 1 today after a marathon. So fucking depressing, and it made me think a lot. I can't wait to catch up with gen 2 so I can follow gen 3 when it starts. Must prepare myself for the epicness of Naomily I know is coming.

So from gen 1... I love Chris, Maxxie, Cassie and Sid. Sucked that Chris died ;_; I shipped Chris/Angie, man. Siwan Morris resembles Katy Perry/Zooey Deschanel so much. Aw, Chris. Maxxie... Mitch Hewer is gorgeous ♥ I have major hair envy. Cassie.. "Oh wow." She scares me a little; I wonder if people like her really exist? Sid is sweet and sensitive, and generally just awwwww. S1 Tony was a douche, but I felt kinda sorry for him in S2. Nicholas Hoult is so pretty, but he has rapey eyes :/ I found S1 Jal rather boring, but I think she's the most realistic character in a way. And she was the only character who got pregnant, which is surprising, considering the amount of nonstop bonking. I think there's too much sex on the show, srsly. Michelle is...alright. Anwar is annoying. Sketch is creepy. Chick who plays Abigail can't act for nuts, is not hot enough for me to overlook that fact. Effy is...jailbait. (Kinda warming up to the idea of Kaya Scodelario as Katniss Everdeen in The Hunger Games movie. Kinda.)

US Skins is starting in January, and it's produced by MTV so I don't have high hopes. UK Skins is...gritty and hardhitting. US Skins will probably be high on relationship drama and sex and too many unnecessary subplots. And most of the actors will probably bask in their new-found fame and run off the rails even before their careers start, yeah?

Spartacus: Blood and Sand
!!!!!!!!!!!! The first four episodes were terribly slow-moving and didn't have enough drama, but WHOA DID IT GET BETTER. So much drama and excitement and blood and gore and sex and nudity... I can't fucking wait for Spartacus: Gods of the Arena! (Plus there's Jaime Murray. Yum.) I'm sad that Andy Whitfield's cancer returned :( I can't imagine another Spartacus.. The new actor has a tough act to follow :/

He's not my favourite character, though. John Hannah's Batiatus is BRILLIANT. Glad we'll be getting six more eps of Batiatus in Gods of the Arena. I love Ilithyia too, the cunning, scheming, psycho bitch. Viva Bianca is nnnnnnnnggghhhhhSMOKINGHOT. Correction: I love Ilithyia and her boobs. Yeah, that's better. Then...Spartacus, Varro and Crixus. Spartacus/Sura, so tragic. Saddest scene = Varro's death. I CAN'T TALK ABOUT IT ;_; So let's move on to Crixus. Crixus/Naevia, so tragic. And in a way, Lucretia's love for Crixus was tragic too. SO MUCH TRAGEDY IN THIS SHOWWWWWWWWW.

Damn. I didn't expect to fall in love with this show.


The Office
Ehhhhhhhhh. Four episodes into S2 so far, and not in love with it yet. It's good, but I'm not hooked or anything. I think it's the drab office setting :/ it makes me depressed. Parks and Rec is way more vibrant.

Weeds
MARY. LOUISE. PARKER. #JIZZ. I'm done with S3, and I don't want to continue (yet) because Nancy Botwin has to be rationed carefully. WHAT WILL I DO WHEN THERE'S NO MORE MLP?!?!! Oh dear jesus, MLP does things to me. Just by being on the screen. I only really noticed Nancy's oral fixation in S3, and fuck me, is it hot or is it hot?! She's always either sucking on a straw or a lollipop or eating something, and hnnnnnngggggggghhh it does things to me. Every time shit happens to her (which is ALL the time, srsly FHL) she gets this helpless look and awww I feel like she needs a hug so bad. But damn, she's feisty. And so, so, so incredibly smoking hot. I want me some of that MILF weed plzkthx.

The entire cast is AMAZING, and the writing is excellent. Everybody loves Heylia, obvs. Celia is the worst mom ever and I love her wit, Isabelle is a dyke, Dean is a pushover, Doug is a hilarious douche, I love Andy and his also-douchey ways, Silas is a really good son underneath his badboyness, Shane is so precious and he breaks my heart with the things he says/does.

Also this show makes me want to try weed. As if I didn't already want to before.

-

That was all very incoherent. Anyway, DVDs! Added Community and Wonderfalls to my collection ♥ and Fringe S2, Modern Family and Parenthood are going to join them soon!! :)))))) Amazon and their sales are killing meeeeeeee. DVDs = my vice. BUT I'M SO HAPPYYYYYYYY! /caresses DVDs lovingly

SO. 2010 has been the amazing year of fandom and TV whoring. May 2011 be even better!

♫ TWO BEAVERS ARE BETTER THAN ONE ♫

I haven't posted regularly in a long while, and I have so many posts stuck in drafts, damn it. I've given up on ever posting the Inception entry. Pity, because I spent so much time on it ugh. I'm just going to blog about some of the shows I've been watching. Not Fringe, though. It kinda breaks my brain, and besides, I'd rather keep Fringe in my own happy place :)

Uh, spoilers ahead.

HIMYM
This week's episode ("Glitter") was AWESOME. This is the HIMYM that I love and miss. Barney's nonsense 83% statistic was one of my favourite bits. Continuity ftw! No, wait, the reality show sendoffs! I was waiting eagerly for 'Auf wiedersehen' and of course Barney never disappoints :D!

Before this ep I hadn't laughed out loud at an ep since forever... Sigh. It was going well until Punchy mentioned Ted being left at the altar, and then it made me miss Stella again T_T Ted/Stella is my OTP. No, actually it's Marshall/Lily, but besides them. Ted is my least-favourite character, but Stella is my favourite Ted-ex :(

Any ep that has Robin Sparkles in it is a fucking epic ep. EPICSODE, OKAY.

♫ Hey, beaver, come on
When you feel alone
Just pick up that phone
And I'll be there to share my
Ice cream cone
We'll lick it side by side
And deep inside you'll know before the day is done
Two beavers are better than one

Two beavers are better than one
They're twice the fun
Ask anyone
A second beaver can be
Second-to-none
Two beavers are better than one

You're my favourite beaver
Space Teens are forever
Don't forget to do your homework
Cause math's cool!

Share a root beer float
And learn about how friendship
Weighs a metric ton
Two beavers are better than one

Two beavers are better than one
They're twice the fun
Ask anyone
A second beaver can be
Second-to-none
Two beavers are better than one

Two beavers are better than one
Two beavers are better than one
Two beavers are better than one
Two beavers are better than one ♫

PARENTHOOD
CROSBY IS SELLING HIS BOAT. NOOOOOOOO. Like Jabbar says, he's a boat guy! He can't sell his boat :( It's really nice seeing him learning to be a good dad, though. Jabbar gets more and more adorable by the episode :D

I can't believe Amber got 2250 on her SATs :O like, SERIOUSLY? GIRL IS A FREAKING GENIUS. Who would've thought? Sarah/Amber have got to be the most dysfunctional and perfect mother-daughter pair on television. (I never watched Gilmore Girls and I don't know a thing about Lorelai and Rory, so Sarah/Amber it is.) Their scenes never fail to make me tear :') Also, speaking of Sarah, she needs to stop this thing with Alec Baldwin's brother. DNWWWWW. Obligatory: COME BACK, MR MARK CYR.

It was liberating to see Adam punch the douchebag at the supermarket, though I miss in-control Adam. But like he said, sometimes not being in control isn't such a bad thing.

"If you never ask for what you want, you'll never know if the answer's going to be yes or no. Gotta take the risk."

DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
I still don't care much for Paul Young and his storyline, but I must admit that it's gotten more interesting after we found out that his wife is actually Felicia Tilman's daughter :O But still, meh.

I don't know why the writers just loooooove to put Gabby and Carlos in such shitty situations T_T It's so sad watching Gabby shower all her love on Grace, and ignore Juanita. This will not end well :(

Didn't like Brian Austin Green at first, but he's grown on me... I can't see Bree and him getting married, though. Never gonna happen. Gurl is a black widow! Poor boy is going to get his heart broken soon. DON'T REALLY CARE.

BOB/LEE. I don't know why, but I'd assumed from the start of S7 that they were back together! I only realised they were still broken up in the second-last ep. But yay Gabby for bringing them back together! :) Love that they're not just the token gay couple on Wisteria Lane anymore. Well, okay, they kinda are, but at least they're both getting more screentime now. FLIPPER!

LOST GIRL
THIS IS THE SHOW THAT EVERYBODY SHOULD BE WATCHING. It's a Canadian supernatural series, and despite the stupid title and shitty promo images, I assure you it is muuuuuch better than it looks. I think Kenzi's my favourite character (her smartass quips! and she's always eating! foot soup!), but oh my god Bo. As much as I try not to (maybe I'm not really trying), Lost Girl is 42 minutes of pure Anna Silk objectification. I mean, I CAN'T HELP IT. She's always in black tank tops and leather jackets and leather pants and everything is tight and her rack is amazing and daaaaaaamn dat ass. I. can't. help. it.

I would like Chris Martin Dyson much more if he wasn't such a douche towards Hot Dr Lauren. I get that he's suspicious about Hot Dr Lauren's intentions towards Bo, but his alpha dog-ness and constant cockblocking cunterstunting is annoying. And seriously, Lost Girl writers. You turned the hottest/sweetest Bo/Lauren sex scene into something so angsty in a matter of seconds T_T PLEASE FIX MY OTP. AND PLEASE STOP AIRING EPISODES THAT DO NOT HAVE HOT DR LAUREN IN THEM KTHXBYE.

HELLCATS
AAAAAAABS. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABS. That is all.

...lol jk. This is the first show from The CW I'm watching! I like it more than I expected to. The relationships on the show are making me confused though.... I like Marti/Lewis because Lewis is a really nice guy, but I also like Marti/Dan because, well, Dan is super cute. And a great guy too, for the most part. I also like Dan/Savannah, BUT IT'S CLEAR THAT HE LOVES MARTI. IDK. IDK. I ALSO LIKE MARTI/SAVANNAH BECAUSE THEY ALWAYS SHARE THESE ~LINGERING LOOKS~, BUT THAT'S THE FEMSLASHER IN ME TALKING. (The Enabler has trained me well.)

I just wish they'd cut the srsbzns Marti/kinda-douchey law classmate/lawyer-y stuff. I don't particularly care for the football coach either. Skeezy vibes, he has them. REALLY, I JUST WANT MORE KICKASS CHEERLEADING ROUTINES AND MORE KICKASS MUSIC AND MORE KICKASS ABS. PLEASE AND THANK YOU, HELLCATS.

DEXTER
Ohhhh maaaannnnnnnn Dexter is getting intense. The style of this season is certainly different, since they got a new showrunner. I can't wait to see how they end this season. I really, really, really want Deb to find out about Dexter's secret. Don't know how she'll handle it, but I just really want her to know.

This Dexter/Lumen thing... At first I didn't like the character, but now I see how she could be good for Dexter. She's the first real partner he's had, she knows who and what he is, and she doesn't judge him for it. Exactly what he needs right now. I started shipping Dexter/Lumen a tiny bit during the scene where she was carrying bb Harrison. She's certainly not ready for a physical relationship, but they give me a domestic vibe. Domestic is good. (I don't miss Rita that much because I've been watching No Ordinary Family, plus Julie Benz tweets a lot. LOLWUT, SELF. UR DOIN IT WRONG.)

Deb/Quinn really annoys me, though. I fucking hate Quinn, ugh. Disliked his character from the start. If there's no Deb/Lundy (sob), I'd rather Deb/cute Latina officer. She's cuuuuuute. Though she did screw Deb over with the leak. Never mind, hatesex potential!

Despite my intense dislike of Quinn, LaGuerta is shaping up to be my least-favourite character this season. I hate what she's become. I mean, in season one she already wasn't a very nice person to begin with, but this season she's just an all-round bitch. I was happy when she and Batista got married, but now it's all gone to shit. I feel sorry for Batista :( (but even his insecure whining can get on my nerves sometime)

MISCELLANEOUS
Just finished Weeds S1, and boyyyy am I glad I still have five more seasons of Nancy Botwin to look forward to! Every time Mary Louise Parker's face is in a scene I have to remind myself to breathe. God damn the woman is a MILF. She does things to me, okay. I think it's her doe eyes. Or her smile. IDK, WHATEVER, BOTTOMLINE: I'D TAP THAT. (Also, she and Anna Silk have a resemblance to each other. HNNNGGGGGGG)

Nikita is boring, hate Michael and his beady eyes and his super annoying whiny voice, Alex is interesting and has pretty eyes, Nikita has fucking amazing arms, that is all.

The Walking Dead needs less talky-talk and MOAR ZOMBIES. I'm fucking scared of the way the zombie hordes chase after people with their slouchy gait, but this show is so good. Too bad season one only has six episodes (three more left!) and the next season is probably only going to air in a year's time. (That's like Rizzoli & Isles. I MISS YOU JANE/MAURA.)

Modern Family & Community are the best things in life. I go on this massive reblogging spree on Tumblr after every Community ep. The fandom is amazing. Raising Hope is cute, but not really laugh-out-loud hilarious. Going to keep watching for the adorable bb! 30 Rock isn't as enjoyable this season, or maybe it's just me. Tina Fey is still my goddess, though.

Chuck is...Chuck. I love Chuck. Nothing else needs to be said.

No Ordinary Family is alright...not amazing or anything, but very watchable. Kay Panabaker is realllllly cute :3 Speaking of jailbait daughters, I'm working my way (slowly but surely) through Castle S2. My main motivation is to see Beckett's hair grow out into something less fug. I saw pics of S3!Beckett - OMFG HER HAIR IS SO GORGEOUS. Lie To Me, on the other hand, I'm having trouble finishing. Two eps to go to the end of S1, but I'm sooooo not motivated. I'm intrigued by micro-expressions and all, but the show just doesn't really grip me.
---
I think I've typed enough... End of update! I should do this more often; I've been neglecting fandom for schoolwork (okay, that's probably a good thing). Must not forget my proud title of TV Whore!

If I could only watch three hours of TV a week...

Awesome question.

1) Fringe, 42 minutes
Absolutely NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. I need my weekly Olivia Dunham fix. Speaking of which, IT'S GOING ON ANOTHER TWO-WEEK HIATUS. NO, JUST NO.

2) Chuck, 42 minutes
Because Chuck/Sarah are probably my favourite het ship. And I'm so invested in Chuck's complicated family. And SARAH IS JUST SMOKING HOT LIKE WHOA, OKAY.

3) Parenthood, 42 minutes
Aww, :'). That is all.

4) Modern Family, 22 minutes
No sitcom makes me laugh out loud like MF does :D

5) Community, 22 minutes
Greendale. I WANT TO GO THERE. (Sorry, Tina Fey. 30 Rock doesn't make me laugh as much.)

That's 170 minutes. Maybe I can squeeze in ten minutes of Dexter? Or perhaps Desperate Housewives? Lost Girl? THREE HOURS IS NOT ENOUGH.

Modern Family 2x03 Earthquake

Phil: What's the hot topic on The View today, ladies?
Haley: Dad, can you just please tell Mom that I can take a two-hour break and go to a party?
Phil: No ma'am, I'm not stepping into that one. We're not playing 'good cop, Mom'.

Mitch: Pepper has done the impossible. He's made two gay men hate brunch!

Haley: Why do you have to be such a psycho control freak?
Claire: Oh, you know what? Just for that you are grounded one week!
Haley: Oh, that's good parenting!
Claire: Okay, two weeks! Want to double it? Keep talking!
Haley: BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH!
Claire: Fine! Four weeks! Four!
Haley: Double it again and make it ten weeks!
Alex: Oh my god! Do you not hear how much you need to study?!

Mitch (to Cam): You know what you are? You're like a mob wife. You look down on me and my ways, but you're happy to wear the mink coat that fell off the back of the truck.

Manny: Well, if heaven's in the sky, what do you walk on?
Gloria: Manny, don't be ridiculous. The clouds!
Manny: That makes no sense. Clouds are air. You'd just fall right through them.
Gloria: The clouds in heaven, they're like trampolines!
Manny: I don't like trampolines. They make me seasick.
Gloria: Manny, stop worrying. Heaven is a beautiful place, with sunshine and rainbows and butterflies...
Manny: Butterflies?
Gloria: Ah no no no no I didn't say butterflies, Manny there's no butterfly!

Desperate Housewives 7x02 You Must Meet My Wife

Gabby
- lol I love it when she says horrible things about Juanita.. Tiny acorn, big oak etc. HAHAHA. Oh, Gabby. You're such a terrible/wonderful mother.
- I didn't expect her to find out about the baby mix-up so soon. I'm worried as to how she'll take it :\ they'll probably want to track down their biological daughter.
- So now that one secret's already out, does that mean Carlos is going to find out about Andrew running his mother over soon? :\\\
- SEXSOMNIA. LOLLLLLLL SERIOUSLY. I love Gabby so much.

Gabby (to Bree): What is wrong with you people? First you take out my mother-in-law, then you go after my daughter. Are you trying to kill off every Juanita Solis on the planet?

Susan: Gabby, you're not suggesting..?
Gabby: Yeah, I think Juanita might be French!

Susan
- The sexy poses montage was HILARIOUS. Though the sight of her gyrating in lingerie isn't very appealing to me. Still would rather have Bree or Gabby kthx.
- I don't want to imagine Mike's reaction when he inevitably finds out about Susan's new alternative source of income. His huge male ego and all that...ugh, seen enough of it.

Bree
- HOT DAMN SHE LOOKS POSITIVELY RADIANT IN YELLOW.
 - sexuallyfrustrated!Bree is UNF.
- Brian Austin Green reminds me of Quinn from Dexter :\ SLIMY, GROSS, DNW ETC.
- "Two dead, one in a wheelchair" - DDDD: Bree = BLACK WIDOW.
- LOL KNOCKING PEOPLE DOWN WITH HER CAR SEEMS TO BE HER NEW FAVOURITE PASTIME.

Lynette
- tbh I'm getting tired of her issues with Tom. I mean, I really love the two of them and the ups and downs of their relationship, but how many times do we have to see Tom feeling insecure/unhappy at Lynette's not listening to him etc?
- That said, I still lol'd a little when he told Lynette that he's suffering from postpartum depression. That srs look on his face....hahaha.
- Lynette is obvs going to find out about Tom/Renee. Oh shit.

In other news, Bob is back!!!! But it seems like Bob & Lee are just going to be the token gay couple on Wisteria Lane, utilised as convenient plot devices etc and nothing more. I still don't give a damn about Paul Young, though I did guess that his 'wife' was one of those deluded women who write letters to prisoners and fall in love with them. But really, I DON'T CARE ABOUT PAUL YOUNG.

Desperate Housewives 7x01 Remember Paul

Finally got down to watching the premiere! THOUGHTS.

Bree
- Good riddance to Orson. I remember when he and Bree used to be super sweet and I loved them, and then he became a whiny douche and I hope he doesn't come back to Wisteria Lane.
- Tearing the wallpaper = HOT.
- Brian Austin Green is NOT HOT ENOUGH for cougar!Bree, okay?

Lynette
- The zinging between her and Renee was awesome! I like Renee.
- The whole Doug Perry thing reminded me of Eva Longoria and Tony Parker and I only realised it after Gabby made a comment about it. Ha.
- SHE HAD A THREESOME IN COLLEGE WITH TWO OF THE GUYS FROM THE RUGBY TEAM.
- Tom's face when he heard that.........just lol. And he wants a threesome with her? Dude, hers had two guys. You sure you want that?

Susan
- Her jewellery is HIDEOUS.
- She and Mike are starting to annoy me. Mike was the one who stupidly refused to take her money in the first place. And how did they get SO broke in the first place even with Susan's money?
- MJ's still really cute.
- I'd really rather see Bree on Va-Va-Va-Broom.com. Or Gabby. Not picky.

Gabby
- OH MY GOD JUANITA WAS THE SWITCHED BABY. (but...it was anti-climactic.)
- OH MY GOD CARLOS'S BEARD IS GONE.
- He looks really young, and I can't recognise him from some angles!
- I didn't like the "I've been raising someone else's daughter" line :\ but I love how much both he and Gabby love their daughters <3
- They're  both keeping HUGE secrets from each other, and when the shit finally hits the fan.....ohhhh boy :\ I hope nothing majorly bad happens with them.. I love these two :(

As for Paul Young, can he gtfo already? I don't give a rat's ass about him. And I'm still pissed that Bob and Lee are no longer Bob and Lee. Worst fucking DH storyline EVER. Oh wait, THERE WASN'T EVEN ONE.

Modern Family 2x02 The Kiss

Phil: He blew his lid when she tried to contain him.

Cam: One, gays don't high-five. Two, gays don't high-five.

Phil: The computer and the printer must talk talk talk, command+P makes the picture walk walk walk.

Claire: Oh, Cam, come on, don't take it personally. When Mitchell was in high school he was dating this girl Robin Schiller, he never kissed her either.
Mitch: That's because I was gay!
Cam: What's your excuse now?

Modern Family 2x01 The Old Wagon

OH, MODERN FAMILY. HOW I HAVE MISSED THEE :')


Cam: If an accident does happen, I hope he kills me, because I don't think I would be a very inspiring disabled person.

Phil: You can insult a lot of things about me - my hair, my voice, my balance-board exercises - but don't insult my selling. That crosses a line. What line? Oh, you don't see it? That's because I just sold it!

Alex: I'm just letting you guys know, I'm not taking care of [Luke] when you guys die.

Phil: I like to use minimonic devices to help me remember. Like the other day, I met this guy named Carl. Now, I might forget that name. But he was wearing a Grateful Dead T-shirt. What's a band like the Grateful Dead? Phish. Where do fish live? The ocean. What else lives in the ocean? Coral. Hello, Coral.
Claire: I think it's 'mnemonic'.
Phil: I think I'd remember.

Phil: He looks like a foreigner. Foreigners are from France. France rhymes with ants. Ants ruin a picnic. (answers phone) What's up, Nick?

Phil (to Claire): In your face, girl with a negative tattoo.

Mitchell: Dad, remember how much fun we had when we built that bookcase together?
Jay (to camera): That was my Vietnam. And I was in Vietnam.

Mitchell: I know I'm not the handiest guy, but I'm still a man and I want to be able to look out into my yard and say, 'There's a little bit of me in that princess castle.

Gloria: OK, sue me, I am a Colombian mother. I'm not going to let him make a mistake that's going to affect him for the rest of my life. His life.

Mitchell (to Cam): Don't carry me out this time, I think it sends the wrong message to Lily.

I really really really realllllllllly love Modern Family, oh my god. Instant cheer-me-up. Phil and his awesome parenting skills, Mitch and Cam (is it me or are they getting more physically affectionate already? :D) and BABY LILY!, and Gloria, Gloria's glorious cleavage (C WUT I DID THAR?), you're a sight for sore eyes. Sigh. Modern Family + Community back in the TV lineup = VERY HAPPY ME :D

Parenthood 2x02 No Good Deed

Thiiiiiiiiis shoooooooooow.

Sarah
- LOL NEPOTISM. DUH EVERYONE'S THINKING IT.
- awkward!Sarah is awkward and very adorable.
- Flirting with Adam's boss is kind of gross. HE'S SMARMY. DNW. And they're so going to bed each other by episode four.
- Videoconference! She got so excited about it hahahaha. Lauren Graham, why so cute?
- LULZ PACMAN. SERIOUSLY, LAUREN GRAHAM. YOU'RE PRICELESS.
- "Gonna go kill myself." So, so deadpan.

Julia
- Sydney is soooooo adorable! And she's no longer BFFs with Harmony? LOL.
- "She's a five-year-old. I can't believe their social politics are this complicated." IT'S SRSBZNS, OK?
- Julia looks pretty badass wearing her headset and walking around with her hands on her hips.
- Joel still needs more to do.
- LOL THERE ARE "THREE AMYS". JUST "BLAME THE OTHER ONE." OMG

Crosby
- His fights with Jasmine come across as really authentic. I love the realness of this show.
- I was kind of hoping for him and Jasmine to have a long-distance relationship..? Although that would mean only seeing Jabbar (!!!!!SOCUTE!!!) on Skype, but it would've been interesting. Still, Jasmine going away for a month should stir things up a little.

Adam
- Just...poor Adam D:
- Him and Kristina were all kissy-kissy in this ep and the happy family thing at the end of the ep was heartwarming! <3
- BUT RLY, I'm just waiting for either one of them to blow up and cause some major drama.
- It's cute how Crosby just pops by his office to chitchat. Especially now that Sarah's working there! Bonding times!

Random thoughts
- I see the guy who was in the recent Covert Affairs episode as the Middle Eastern dude. He works in Adam's company. I am amused.
- Hello, MORE AMBER? And Drew?
- I've been wondering...how far apart from one another exactly do the siblings live? I can't seem to figure it out.

I guess it's still early in the season for those teary moments that plagued me for most of the eps in S1, but I'm sure they'll come soon. This show never disappoints ♥
