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... )

Oh my god are they going there with Peggy and Don? I've seen rumblings but chalked it up to the usual fandom-is-ship-crazy. I really didn't get that vibe at all, but maybe it's because I don't want to see it. Peggy is probably my favorite character (and Pete) and I'd hate to see her fall for Don's destructive tendencies. Also, I'm somewhat enjoying the Anna/Don relationship progression.

Undercovers! I watched it last night and LOVED IT. I generally reserve that kind of show for USA but it was adorable and I want more of everyone all the time. I really hope it gets a full season.

I am watching Rubicon! But I confess that I need to do back and watch episodes 3-7 sober so that I can figure out what the hell is going on. More happened on last Sunday's episode than in any other to date. I hope Maggie comes back although I am enjoying Andie (not that they exist exclusive of each other) - she adds a shock to our otherwise introverted characters. And of course we'll always have Manpain.

There's a L&O: UK? Is it the same stories but with a British spin or do they lift from British papers? One of my families favorite things to do when confronted with a new L&O episode would be to try to pinpoint the RL case.

It's honestly a great assumption based on my part but I WOULDN'T PUT IT PAST THEM. Don and Peggy's relationship was been slowly growing over the past few seasons and, while she doesn't know about his past, they share things others do not know. So I can easily foresee a Don/Peggy union, lol.

I AM GLAD YOU ENJOYED IT! I also reserve this type of show for USA but, ah, I think it's so wonderful and I can't wait for next week. I know it'll build upon itself. I have hope. :D

LOL you really should. I watched episodes 2-5 while surfing the Internet and I learnt nothing from them but, when I went back to watch during the marathon, things made sense. I didn't think it possible but things started making sense with me and dots were connecting and I got all excited. It's a slow show but it's slowly getting more and more rewarding. I love Maggie so she better be back even if she's not working as Will's assistant. Tanya also need to hurry up and come back from rehab. ANDIE WAS A BREATH OF FRESH AIR, HONESTLY. I am glad they introduced her last episode because LOL she's amazing with her questions and her snooping and she managed to stop Will's Manpain™ for a few. I KINDA CONSIDER HER CHARACTER A SUCCESS JUST FOR THAT. I love Will and I understand his wife and child died but he should learn how to smile more.

They select the 'best' stories from the Original Flavor canon and rewrite them with a British spin.
