"I AM NOT GONNA DO ANY FUCKING SCRAPBOOKING!"
I think I want to kill my roommate. Talk me down, guys. I CAN'T TAKE THE SNORING ANYMORE. It's 3:42 in the fucking morning. Much like Miss Adair, I need my beauty sleep. At least I'm not dreaming about having my face set on fire? D:
Ohhhh... Okay. Let's talk about Dexter.
Honestly, I'm not enjoying this season as much as I did 1 and 2, but this is the first season I'm watching week by week (I think I came in about halfway through S2), and that always makes a different experience (much like Doctor Who).
And it's not bad, I'm just not as invested in it so far. There's no terribly gripping drama threatening to destroy the Morgans.
Anyway.
DEXTER: Finding Freebo
The Dexter and Rita Part
Rita's pregnant. Dexter thinks this is maybe not a good thing, because the kid's gonna turn into a serial killer and chop Astor up. Heh. Rita ultimately makes up her mind to keep the child, like we actually thought she might get an abortion, but tells Dexter that his role in the child's life is entirely up to him. And not in a bitchy S2!Rita way, either. In a sweet, understanding way. I like S3!Rita.
Angel tells Dexter that his daughter is the best thing that ever happened to him, and of course Dexter should keep the child.
And honestly, Dex, unbiased fears are unbiased. Unless there's genetic physical brain damage, the kid isn't gonna be a serial killer if you raise him/her well. As much as I joke, if Sylar and Elle really did pop out a kid, but the kid was raised by Peter or Noah, the kid would probably be perfectly nice, seeing as Sylar's crazy because of the way he was raised and Elle is either crazy from the way she was raised or because of non-genetic brain damage. I mean, okay, he might not be the nicest crayon in the crayon box, since Ellen Greene, Bob, Sylar, and Elle aren't any of them nice, but he wouldn't be evil. Same goes for Dex Jr.
I suspect either Rita will lose the child or Dex will turn out to be OMG BEST DAD EVAR.
Anyway, Dex realizes that everyone is closing in on Freebo, but since Freebo would kind of blow the whole "Freebo killed Oscar" thing, he needs to track him down first. After a lot of dead ends, he finally does find him. Unfortunately, so does Prado. Dex convinces Prado that he killed Freebo in self-defense. Prado is all, "You've done a good thing. I WUV YOU DEX." Dex is confused and possibly really unhappy. But what's this mysterious wound in Prado's side? Or was that just blood from the knife? WTF?
The Angel and Quinn Part
They're hot on the trail of Freebo and wind up arresting some junkie who tells them that some guy that Prado had prosecuted wasn't really guilty of what Prado had prosecuted him for and he could prove it. That's... it. Really. Angel really has stopped being useful after S1.
The Debra Part
She's also hot on the trail, but not of Freebo. Of Teegan. She contacts her snitch again, who points her in the direction of some pimp who tells her that this girl Teegan traded Freebo sex for drugs on a regular basis.
Am I the only one who's starting to ship Debra/snitch? Y/N/VERY Y?
She convinces Laguerta to merge Teegan's case and Freebo's case, which... I guess... gets her back on the Freebo case? Huh? Okay.
Meanwhile, the IA lady is still stalking her and popping out at her at random intervals going, "SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER! Help me nail Quinn and you'll get your shiiieeeeld!" Deb stays strong and says no. But for how much longer?
The Laguerta and Prado Part
Laguerta and Prado BFF it up for a while until he mentions the Bay Harbor Butcher, and Laguerta gets all sad because Doakes was her old BFF. I... still think she should be trying to prove his innocence. I mean, yeah, that would be retreading old ground, but if the writers were clever enough, they could pull it off successfully.
I'm rewatching the show with Sarah, and she's giving me a new appreciation of Doakes, so I'm really starting to miss him.
Not missing? Lila. How how much I am not missing Lila. I may be having mild doubts about this season, but the simple fact that Lila isn't in it gives it a huge leg-up over S2. Not that I didn't adore S2. But still.
Meanwhile. I feel I should update you all on my characters, because I know you all care that much.
Anya: Hiatused Scooby is hiatused. Actually, the Scoobies haven't gotten anything useful done since Spike showed up. They've just been infighting. Coincidence? I think not. But Anya won't even know Spike's there until next NS. And how excited am I? SO EXCITED. Especially because Mel's Spike is just about as awesome as Spike can get. The Angel/Spike/Willow grrr-match was win.
Damned!Elle: Indra cut a bitch and now she's bleeding all over the 2nd floor :/
Allelujah, Joshua, Roy, and Hughes are all standing around watching. The latter three are thinking, "Hmm. Blondie's getting her ass kicked. Meh." Allelujah's thinking, "Mwahaha DIE BITCH DIE." So in the Elle v. faceless monster fight, no one is on Elle's side. I find this mildly tragic, especially considering that I just made a list of everyone who wants Elle dead, and the list is long. And I'm loving every second of it.
I am very proud of the fact that Elle's finally managed to do some damage to the Institute, even if it'll all be fixed by morning and some of it was just goading Indra on to break the damn railing. Elle = FAIL.
Rose: Slow thread is slow. So... nothing much happening with her.
Daisy: So far, she's really getting along with Charlie Prince, Harvey Dent, the Master, and Prefect. Ya know, badguys. Should I be surprised? She also doesn't hate Emma Frost, but the two of them haven't talked much. She is, however, having one of her little existential crises because she had this strange dream about being locked in a warehouse full of explosives and talking to someone she loved who was locked in another warehouse full of explosives, and she got rescued and the person she loved didn't. Harvey kinda explained this to her, and she reassured him that Rachel is in a better place. Lawl, when canons collide :/ But she's still really upset about it. Rube's advice? Eat a blueberry muffin. I think Rube also misses George almost as bad as Daisy misses Mason.
Also, Prefect is using Daisy's death dream as an excuse to set up... I dunno, sounds like an evil hippie commune. Or something. Wow, he seems weird. But Daisy seems to like him, so... meh.
TLV!Elle: Ahhahaha. Much liked Damned!Elle, not many seem to like her. Except Butcheress, who appears to have taken a shine to her. Of course, Elle really doesn't like being called "precious," so... that didn't go well. Of course we've got an Adam at TLV, and he's been a very bad influence in Elle so far ^^ 'Cause Daddy didn't mess her up enough, apparently, Adam is now counseling to forget her dad and in fact not care at all when people die. Not that she did before, but she was kinda upset about Daddy's death. She's trying to convince herself that she's not. She's also crying in a corner somewhere because Adam is a meanie :( She really needs to stop caring what he thinks. We need a Sylar so she can lock herself in her room and never come out.
She got Dr. Horrible's dream, so she's been having to get stepped on by Nathan Fillion and made fun of and then shot. She is not taking this well, especially considering that Sylar did pretty much exactly that to her. Except he cut her head open instead of shooting her. Which probably hurt more. Especially since Dr. H didn't actually get hit by the shot, whereas Elle totally got pwned for realz by Sylar. I'm looking forward to Callisto's take on Elle's dream.
Aaaand, she went in search of Peter's room, only to get lost and bump into this cowboy. Charlie something? She messed with him for a while, but his patience snapped quickly and he sent her on her way. Unfortunately, she has even less lightning powerz than Damned!Elle, so she couldn't hurt him :( She would like to hurt Peter, but mostly because she actually cares about him and he used her and abandoned her. At least... in her mind. I mean, he did, but she also locked him up and electrocuted him for months. But only 'cause she wuvs him. It's... a beautiful relationship, really.
Aaaaand now it's 4:25 in the morning. I NEED SLEEEEEEP. SLEEP-DEPRIVED CHINCHILLA IS SLEEP-DEPRIVED. This is why I [heart] the weekends. She goes home, and I get a good night's rest *headdesk* The living room floor is looking more and more appealing...
ETA: Uh-oh. TLV!Elle was just advised to read the backlogs of old journal entries, and I was checking out Monk's to see if she could go "OMG DISEASE" at him. Apparently "lightning" is #5 on his List Of Fears. Tragically, the list is private. But I still think it's funny ^^ Actually, the whole list is immensely funny, although he did leave off "heights" and "crowds," which were 2 and 3, I think. Eh. I forget. But #11 is "touching a hobo's face," and that WINS.
Ohhhh... Okay. Let's talk about Dexter.
