Dream a good one tonight.
This week's Entertainment Weekly has possibly the greatest article that I've ever seen in the magazine. All about shippers; who they are and what they think and want and fan favorite ships and definitions. Shipper wars and smooshing, fanfic, crossovers, mary sue, slashers. I was so happy when I saw this article flipping through the pages of EW.
(Ian Somerhalder is naked on the cover, too.)
American Pickers is kind of my new show. My dad watches it, and it's not horrible. I haven't watched it all that much, but it's a crazy show. These two guys travel around looking basically for hoarders. They go through all this stuff, weird weird stuff that people just collect over the years. They buy what they think they can re-sell. Signs are a huge thing, Mickey Mouse or Cocoa Cola stuff always sells, one guy has a think for bikes. I saw one where this guy claimed to have a dinosaur bone, and Mike wanted it. So they're negotiating through the whole show and their arguing about it and I'm yelling at the tv that it's not real. He ended up buying it and he brought it to some paleontologist, the bone was real! I couldn't even believe it! This Joe Schmoe in the middle of Kentucky had a frickin dinosaur bone sitting in his shed for twenty years!
OMG! Britney and Shakira are collaborating! So awesome!
I've pretty much given up on Criminal Minds. There was a point, a couple years ago, that I really liked the show. I would watch all the re-runs and the marathons. I'm over it now, all I see now is way too melodramatic and always the same with absolutely no character development or back stories. I watch tv with my dad like all the time, and that's exactly why he likes the show. So in the last episode when Morgan came out of Garcia's shower and she had no memory of the night before...I was super excited! And so disappointed to find out that nothing happened between them.
I was watching Downton Abbey and my sister was complaining how boring it was. There was a scene towards the end (Spoiler alert!) Matthew and Mary were talking after Lavina's funeral, my sister asked why the picture suddenly went black and white. I had to laugh!! They're just wearing black and are very pale!
I was pretty impressed with the last Fringe. It was totally back to basics; a stand alone, freaky episode with just Olivia, Peter, and Walter. Blue-verse even really broke in there a few times! It seemed like OurOlivia again at moments! But there was one moment that stood out to me of not being anything like the Olivia I know and love. She said that she was scared that whatever was happening to the people of that town was happening to her. All I could think of the whole time was that Olivia Dunham would never so easily admit to being scared. Of course I wonder if the ending was too good to be true.
