Oh god. Please, please believe me when I say I did not type this long entry out all in one sitting. It was a week's process-a long proper week's process. I even documented my progress on Tumblr and Twitter multiple times. I have proof. I can show you the receipts. I also may have driven myself mad plenty of times while writing and cried blood but ( Read more... )

This week's Mad Men underwhelmed me, though some of the Blankenship stuff had me crying with laughter. SHE'S AN ASTRONAUT. SHE DIED LIKE SHE LIVED: IN THE COMPANY OF PEOPLE SHE ANSWERED PHONES FOR. But yeah, dude, I was like ARE THEY SERIOUS WITH THIS MUGGER THING? REALLY? REALLY?

lol Rubicon lol W/E WE CAN BE THE ONLY PEOPLE WATCHING IT IDC. Fandom doesn't care about it because there's no one they want to slash Will with, probably.

I also plan on watching Undercovers forever and ever, I still have a lot of hopes for it. I am really really into the two leads and the show got me into the fact that they are a cute married couple of several years already- I'm not usually into domestics!

Boardwalk Empire was really well-put together but I'm still withholding judgment, to be honest, until I see what they do with the women. THERE WERE ONLY LIKE, TWO. Jeez. Actually I really want the Marlene Dietrich-like girl in the suit at the club to have a more important role, she intrigued me for some reason. OR LIKE, ANY OF THE WOMEN.

I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT FRINGE THOUGH OMG. Also I'm super glad you're watching. So many more people picked the show up over the summer.

Oh oh and I hate the term HBIC, I've said it before and I've said it again: THERE IS MORE THAN ONE WAY TO BE AN AWESOME FEMALE CHARACTER. Toughness is not shorthand for awesome. That REASONS WHY OLIVIA DUNHAM IS AWESOME post pissed me off, tbh. Sad because I agreed with the general conclusion. She's my favorite but not because she doesn't fucking wear heels.

Don't be so defensive about your love for 90210. JUDGMENT-FREE ZONE.

Cooper-was it Cooper?-should go into the funeral business. He would make a killing writing for obituaries and the sort. I WANTED TO DIE DURING THE MUGGER SCENE. Someone on ONTD, land of the stupid, said that scene was necessary to show why Joan and Roger would have fear over black people. LOL oh. I didn't realize that racism was something that needed to be justifiable and I thought it was a poor excuse for them to fuck, lol. I JUST CAN'T WITH THIS SHOW'S FANDOM.

Honestly I think you are one to something. Rubicon isn't exactly the most 'slashable' show and it doesn't lend itself to fanfiction. All you can really do with it is discussion and a few picspams. BORING! That's also partly the reason why I don't think Undercovers will grow a sizable fandom. I guess you can do Steven/Bill (but, seriously though, that hero worship was borderline creepy) but LOL a show starring two black folks in a happily marriage. NOT GONNA HAPPEN. Though, knowing fandom, fanfic writers will be more into Samantha/Leo. ;--; I am not hating on Leo. He was kinda hot but still. ;---;

I AM GLAD I AM WATCHING TOO. I mean, seriously, best life decision ever™. I should seriously make more of them.

LOL thank god I am not the only one who feels the same about HBIC. I was kinda worried everyone would take my rant the wrong way as mentioned above but people here are ~understanding~ me. It's a great comfort.
