In conclusion, I watch way too much television
Covert Affairs, you really need to stop messing with my feelings like this. First, you move Auggie upstairs just long enough to start agnsting and showcase that he's not the only one in the Auggie/Annie team able to give a good pep talk and omg their friendship is my favorite thing about this show I mean really but I'm on a long-winded tangent now because then they just bring him back. Then, they tell me that Jaimie Alexander's character is going back to Asgard whatever the hell department she came from, only to have her prominently featured in the ad for the next episode. Really, USA, what are your trying to pull here? Are you just toying with my emotions now? Because that is not cool.
Please just keep her...
Of course, this is also the show that tends to focus highly on Annie/Auggie in their show ads and get my hopes up and shit and then deliver but not necessarily in the way they made it seem in said ad. It makes me think that A/A will be endgame but what with my track record I really don't want to get my hopes up. ALWAYS SHIPPING THE WRONG THING YEP STORY OF MY LIFE.

Speaking of which. Watched the pilot of Necessary Roughness last night. No particular reason, but it was on and my mom said she enjoyed it (though it was a little 'feel good'). For those that don't know, it's about this therapist lady who finds out her husband's cheating on her, kicks him out, and then ends up getting this pro football player as a client. I enjoyed it, in part because it was interesting to me as a psychology major, but the characters were fun and the story was pretty good and I think I'd watch it again (and hey the next episode is on tonight which I may or may not have recorded...). So yeah, there's that.
Oh, and once again I'm pretty sure I'm shipping the wrong this. Because guess who's in this? RILEY. And when I say Riley I am referring to Riley I mean Riley from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, because I am to lazy-assed to go actually look up his actor's name, but w/e w/e he is in this and I love him. BUT THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM. My problem is that he is the main character's set-up love interest (and the reason why she got the pro football player as a client) and he sweet and awesome and I swear I really do love him but but but there's this other guy right, who also works for the team, and ugh he's kind of dark and stoic and he ~takes care of things that need to be taken care of and it's not like he's had any sort of romantic thing going on with her or whatever, like at all, but for some reason I am shipping them. I don't know why. What is even wrong with me? But I love their dynamic and ugh. Ugh ugh ugh. STOP IT WITH YOUR FACES AND I'M SORRY RILEY, I REALLY AM BECAUSE I ALWAYS LIKE YOU BUT YOU ALWAYS SEEM TO GET THE SHORT END OF THE STICK, FIRST IN BUFFY THEN IN JANE AUSTEN BOOK CLUB AND NOW IN THIS (at least with me). :(
That's him standing behind her. Can you see my problem here?

Okay moving on, I've also started watching The Mentalist (I am fucking crazy okay, why do I even try to watch all these shows? Oh right it's all mswyrr's fault. I'm still on;y in the first season too because it's got 23 goddamn episodes each but I can't stop). Which. Um. Half the time I want to punch Patrick Jane in the face because he is a messed up, arrogant, manipulative bastard, but he is also very very pretty and then there's the police team that he's a consultant for all of whom are pretty much amazing, particularly the head of the team Teresa Lisbon who's hard-core and kickbutt and no-nonsense and by-the-book and has the best expressions ever and is also very short and I sort of want to smush their faces together. No really, all of their interactions are nothing short of fabulous and what have you done with my braaaaaaaain???
I'm sorry, what was I saying?
Did I mention all the suit!porn?
*off to watch the next episode and maybe drool a bit*
Please just keep her...
