(no subject)
So I'm not usually one that goes all into crime dramas and stuff. Bones is about the only one I watch. And Castle. Okay, shut up, but really, Castle and Bones are more about the characters than the crimes, although sometimes they can get pretty interesting. But I've started watching that new show, Rookie Blue. The episodes are only a half hour long, which isn't what I'm used to so sometimes I think they seem to cut out the really good stuff, but otherwise it's pretty good so far (it's on it's third episode.)
Right now I'm watching the latest episode and since I haven't done a whole 'Review this and that show as you watch it' kind of thing, I thought I'd do one. This might be a little more coherent than most of the others you've seen from me, because there aren't very many pretty boys to goggle over and like I said, it's only on it's third episode, so the characters aren't developed quite yet. And also, I'm not as insane about this stuff as I used to be.
That was a complete lie and you all know it, but whatever, moving on right now...
Okay, so if you've been following along the episdes, you will know that Andy is the main character and that she's supposed to be average, but of course isn't, because that wouldn't exciting or something. Starting off, the characters seem flat. I mean, they're better than most shows starting out, don't get me wrong. But Andy is very typical of a female lead. She's a little bit better at her new job than all the other rookies and all the guys are mackin' on her - well, except the other rookies, which is kind of nice. But I digress.
So anyway, in the previous episode there was a moment that kind of made me want to pull out my hair. It was the moment where Andy and Swarek almost kiss. I mean, the tension is so obvious and you can completely see where they're going with this in the very first episode when she arrests him. And they're about to kiss and it's okay, because why would they hide it and granted, they might not have liked each other at first, but they do now so go ahead and kiss already. Andy, however, objects. Why?
It's her first week on the job. That's her objection to kissing a cute man who is oggling her and who she obviously has chemistry with. Right, that makes total sense. But then again, she's the main character girl and everyone must love her, so she can't immediately latch onto a guy, right? That and there's that other guy, Callaghan, who likes her and where might that go I wonder?
At the very beginning of the third episode, however, Andy is on a date with Callaghan. Um, what? What happened to that new job thing? What happened to her almost-kiss with Swarek? I bet that totally pissed him off when he heard she was going on a date with Callaghan and wouldn't even kiss him. It would piss me off.
Okay, but to be totally honest, I'm totally Team Callaghan, because he seems like such a nice dude (also he's really hot.) Plus, the whole kiss under the tree blossom thing was romantic and they were cute, okay? But I bet ten bucks that Callaghan is going to have some big issue. Maybe he secretly does drugs. Maybe he is actually an axe murderer. Maybe he has a girlfriend or three stashed away somewhere. I mean, it's hard to tell at this point, but generally that is where the 'nice guy' direction leads in dramas. I hate it, but what can you do?
Anyway, this episode is the reason I started watching Rookie Blue. Before it premiered, Gregory Smith did an interview about how in one episode, they go undercover as prostitutes. Male prostitutes. Gregory Smith. I couldn't resist, and basically, yeah, okay, that's my only reason for watching so sue me. But anyway, Gregory is totally adorable in this, did I mention? He could fix his hair. I want them to fix his hair. But he is so much better in this than Everwood. God, I hated that emo Ephraim, moaning over that slut Amy and what was the deal with coma guy and... Shutting up now.
Okay, I really hate blonde stereotypes but every show does them lately. I mean, there are the few that stand out there (Buffy, Bones, Veronica Mars), but for the most part, the blonde is always the ditz. I hate it! Why is the blonde always the ditz? I mean, in the Vampire Diaries, Elena supposedly has blonde hair in the series. Why can't a blonde be a main character (I mean, aside from Sookie, she hardly counts because she's as flat as a piece of paper...)? It honestly drives me crazy. I really wish they would switch it up and make the brunette the ditz. Or the red-head. Or just... not blonde. Brunettes can be ditzes too! Look at me! And also, why are blondes always the rich spoiled ones? Sigh.
Oh look, a Swarek and Andy interaction. Why is Andy so pissed off with Swarek? I mean, yeah she did arrest him and totally blow his cover and he kind of gave her hell about it, but honestly, they just spent the better part of the last episode together alone. And also there was the almost kiss. I understand why he's pissed, because she obviously went out with Callaghan and not him, but why is she so snappy? It must be true love.
I love how I say I actually like this show and then totally rag on it. I'm so awful.
Aw, Swarek doesn't want her to go out and be a prostitute. That's kind of sweet. But seriously dude, she's a cop and she arrested your ass, I'm pretty sure she has nothing to worry about.
Oh no you just didn't, boy. Chris is kind of cute in a boy-next-door way, but he did not just make a remark about being gay while being a prostitute. First there was that thing with Traci and now this? Pshhawww, boy. You're cute, don't fuck it up. I kind of love how Dov (that's Gregory, for those keeping track) actually wants to pretend to be a prostitute. How awesome would it be if Dov was gay? That would be amazing. I would leap for joy. He does dress kind of effeminately and he does have floppy hair.
LMAO. Oh my dear.
Chris: He's actually more believable as a gay dude.
Dov: It's true, I shave my chest.
Sure, Dov. You're not gay at all. Aw, we don't get to see Gregory dressed up in slutty boy wear? I am disappoint. That was totally the reason I'm watching this! Sigh. But seriously, even gay prostitutes don't wear those pants, Chris. White? Just, no. Tight black leather would be more appropriate. Really. Okay, Chris is definitely not the better prostitute. He's standing around all awkward and weird. He just looks like a weird guy on a street corner that you probably wouldn't want to approach.
Aw, Dov likes action! He doesn't want to sit around and do nothing! Oh no, he's totally going to make an ass of himself. It was kind of sad when he did it in the last episode, this is going to be so much worse. He's just enthusiastic! But it makes him look so bad. I like you, Dov, don't be an ass. This would be way more entertaining if he was the prostitute, I swear.
LOL I don't get this. Wouldn't it be a good thing to be the one less likely to get picked up on the street or taken for a prostitute? Besides, Gail is totally wearing the sluttier clothes. She may be wearing jeans, but Andy just looks like she's going to a redneck barbeque.
Uh, can you really blame a girl getting freaked out by some disgusting man trying to pick her up and saying horrible things? Granted, she's obviously trying to act not freaked out, but it's totally obvious. Maybe not berating her for fucking up is a good idea. Gosh, men are so sensitive, aren't they? Honestly, I probably would have run away screaming. Still, it's just like the typical heroine to get a bit freaked, isn't it? The other girl cop (coincidently the blonde) had no problem. Figures.
Aw, Chris. Aw gay issues. I love it.
LOL aw, Dov. Poor Dov. Oh my gosh, he knows the silly bint stealing the car. He's such a noob. As if anyone could be remotely threatened by him. Sure he can take a guy down with one blow, but when this tiny guy chases after a stalling car? Yeah, not really a good move, Dov. But super cute! I want to pinch your cheeks! You probably shouldn't want to do that to a cop, though...
Haha, the girl in the backseat of the car is awesome. "I wasn't hooking! Okay, I was hooking, but he leant me the car. Okay, I did steal it, but he deserved it!" I'm dying right now. Yeah, Andy, you should have stuck up for Dov! Even if you didn't know you were sticking up for anyone! What I don't get is why they would make Dov stay behind and not be prostitute-ish when he wants to be, and why they would make Chris go when he was obviously extremely uncomfortable? Wouldn't it be better to have someone more comfortable with the situation?
Holy crap, Dov and Andy are getting chewed out. This is awkward. I hate watching people get chewed out by bosses, even if the bosses are dicks, but especially when they actually did something wrong and are trying to fix their mistakes, although Dov is kind of an idiot, but he's an adorable idiot, don't yell at him! Yell at Andy, she's a moron, but Dov! Though, he does need to be taken down a notch. He's kind of cocky because he's just become a police officer, and he needs to wipe that attitude, but it's cute! It's adorable because he's so little and enthusiastic!
Aw, Callaghan is so sweet. I want to hug him. I kind of want to hug Swarek, too, but mostly just Dov.
DOV. I seriously love this kid. Oh no, they're taking initiative, but they're initiative sucks. Why couldn't they just go nab some guys trying to get hookers? Why couldn't they dress Dov up as a man-whore? Damn it, why do these things never go the way I want them to? No, let's go after a guy who has a ton of guns! Just the two of us Rookies! Yeah, that' sounds awesome!
Aw, Dov and Andy friendship! Cute! <3
Dov: You got a cellphone?
Sadie: I've got a pager...
Dov: They still make those?
Yeah, that was pretty much my thought, too. Pager, who has those anymore? Oh no, this is going to go so horribly wrong. Sadie is going to get shot and then her death will be on Dov and Andy and oh god oh god don't dooo it. Please, Dov, you can't screw up that badly! You're too cute to get fired/hurt/die!
Aw, Traci. She doesn't like the dead body wounds, so she put post its over the pictures. And Callaghan thinks its funny. It kind of is. Traci reminds me of someone, but I can't figure out who. It's kind of bugging me actually. I think maybe Cam from Bones. Which makes it extra funny because Cam deals with dead bodies all the time.
Um, are these rookies really that dumb? They just lost a hooker. She jumped their temporary 'bail'. Why are they looking for an excuse to go into the building? "We were chasing down a woman evading arrest and she went into this building'. It's not that hard, guys, really. I thought of it and I'm not even a cop.
Aw, Dov, you are terrible at the waiting game. It's so cute!
Holy crap, it's the creepy dude from before. Arrest him for being a creepy douche! I mean, I'm pretty sure you can't put that on any papers, but you should be able to arrest people for being creepy douches! And particularly for calling a girl a dog! Or a snake! That's just not nice (although dogs are cute and snakes are cool, so maybe that's not such an insult...)
HO SHIT, DOV, DON'T DO IT! I knew he was going to get hurt or worse. My cutie-patootie is going to save the day hopefully! Oh dear, Dov, you need to move faster! Sadie, shut your trap! Couldn't you make up something cooler? Like, she's the daughter of columbia drug cartel! Or, she's the daughter of that really famous guy, you know the one, he did that movie with the thing?
Unf. Gregory. You and your guns. I would ravage your sweet cuteness to death.
Yeah, Swarek, you tell them. They were friggin' morons and they should know it. Oh, Dov, you're such a cutie!
"I was operating on pure, raw instinct! Yeah, okay, Mom, I gotta go. Sorry I woke you. *whispers* Yeah, I love you too."
So cute! Did I mention cute enough times? I think I could broaden my vocabulary and call him adorable. Snuggly. I want to hug him and do a dance with him and also practice martial arts with him.
Oh no, the John Doe is going to be that guy's kid. That's so sad. Poor Chris, having to find it like that. I want to sob. Oh shit, Chris isn't going to tell him like that. Oh god. No, no, no. Oh god. I hate this part of crime shows. Although, that is intense and deep. But still really sob-inducing.
Oh god, I don't know who to be Teamin' for. Swarek or Callaghan. Callaghan is sweet and perfect and glorious and Swarek is rough and tough and deep.
Gosh, I honestly think Rookie Blue should be longer than a half hour. And yet, look how much I wrote for the damn thing. This episode was kind of meh to be honest, but I do like the characters. Except Andy and Gail. The rest are okay. I kind of liked Chris at the end of the episode, but not at the beginning (and not in those awful white pants, but the flannel? Yum.) Dov is obviously my favorite, can you tell? I wish they'd feature the other girls more. Gail obviously has a story and so does Traci (she's dating one of the head cop guys and no one knows. It's a secret! He was her instructor! It's so scandelous!) Of course, I'm all for more Dov screentime, though. Actually, if they could just focus on him, that would be great...
But I think I'm done for now. For the night. Morning. Thing. Time for bed, I'm quite sleepy. I had planned on doing some other things when I got home, but... Well, so much for that. ;D
Right now I'm watching the latest episode and since I haven't done a whole 'Review this and that show as you watch it' kind of thing, I thought I'd do one. This might be a little more coherent than most of the others you've seen from me, because there aren't very many pretty boys to goggle over and like I said, it's only on it's third episode, so the characters aren't developed quite yet.
