Blonde Bombshells
Actually, probably more like blonde Mack trucks.
I was supposed to be in New York City this morning for some interesting work-related stuff, but I had to cancel due to ongoing family circumstances. So, yeah, feeling a little sorry for myself, but, hey, at least TV has been consoling.
I know that this journal has been inhabited mostly by pocket commandos of late, but hey, let’s hear it for the big blond guys:
Southland 4x04
I don’t think it’s a spoiler for the episode to say that I have never loved John Cooper more.
I used to think I loved Southland for the John/Ben angsty bromance, but now that Ben is off with Sammy, he’s as boring and irritating as, well, as Sammy himself.
And I really want to like the pregnant!Lydia plot line, but I am still scraping the sanctification-of-maternal-love crud off my skin from last week, so I’m having trouble. (oh, Show, how can you be so interesting and precise about homophobia and sexism and racism but still turn into a pile of blubbering cliches when it comes to maternity? yeesh)
But goodness, Cooper and Tang are worth the price of admission and then some, imo. Can Lucy Liu stay forever, please?
And I was kind of in tears even before Cooper threw himself almost off the roof-when he oh so gently took the ribbon out of the boy’s hair in the hospital I almost lost it.
Whitechapel 3x03
How about a guy who looks like this from behind.
And this from the front:
For the first two episodes of this season of Whitechapel I was enjoying it, but not really feeling it, y’know? But 3x03 I really loved.
Maybe because the creepy hoarder’s house and the super creepy aging supermodel were, well, genuinely creepy?
Maybe because of the escalating codependence between Chandler and Miles, with Miles sacking out in the chair in Chandler’s office, and always carrying around tissues in case Chandler has to touch a dismembered foot or something?
Maybe because girl!Chandler was an hoot, though she has yet to exhibit boy!Chandler’s earnest and affectionate nature (wherein he just wants all the babies and sergeants to love him)?
Maybe because I’m developing a soft spot for DC Meg Riley?
Maybe because they went ahead and ratcheted up the adorableness in a very un-Whitechapel way. Not just Chandler and the baby, but also the hysterical moment when Mile and the coroner had quite a technical conversation about breast milk over the dismembered corpse while Chandler looked like he wanted to run (not from the corpse, mind you but from the mention of messy bodily fluids).
Feel free to post pics of either big blonde dudes or pocket commandos in comments *g*
