HOLD THE PHONE
Okay, so I know I am super behind the times and probably everyone and their grandmother has seen this, but you will look at it again and you will like it.
WHAT. This is actual canon, right? I blinked for a really extended time each time I watched 2x22 (maybe a neurological condition or something, idk) and missed it, right? But LotS canonically ends in vee-type Cara/Kahlan/Richard, is that what I'm seeing here?
Anyway, in teevee news, I am really enjoying the back half of this season of The Good Wife. This episode fell a little flat for me since it was a little Peter-and-Eli-heavy and a little everyone-else-light, but I am still not over Red Team/Blue Team (which I always parse as Red vs Blue (<--- an AU that needs to happen. Not just in this fandom. In EVERY fandom)) and OR YOU'LL WHAT? SEND ME TO MOCK COURT JAIL? ALICIA. ♥_♥
ALSO Lost Girl! This season is shaping up pretty satisfactorily, after the horror that was 3x1 (although Kenzi was so great; "the shorter the lifespan, the ~deeper the quicksand~ indeed. I need fic of Kenzi hanging out with Spinal Tap. Or just Spinal Tap fic, lbr) I am, however, a little disappointed that concurrent Bo/Dyson and Bo/Lauren vee-type whatevers seems to have been unilaterally ruled out. I don't ship Bo/Dyson (although I do like Dyson a lot when he is not preoccupied with the torment of his ~noble soul~), and I do think it makes sense and is in character for everyone else to be so unequivocally TEAM DYSON, but I think it would be so much more satisfying than another endless round of WOLVES MATE FOR LIFE (with bonus creepy undertones, of "whatevs, I can just wait for Lauren to die/whatever", ugh.) I understand basic storytelling (although I don't pretend to demonstrate it), okay, I know that conflict drives narrative, but there is so much more conflict inherent in both of these relationships than "will this person who is currently with this other person ACTUALLY end up with this third person STAY TUNED." Which is a lesson that it seems like many showrunners could stand to learn (don't even talk to me until you've sorted yourself out, Haven, I mean it mean it), but on this show in particular, it feels even more unnecessary and tacked on. Super-interested in where this Kenzi thing is going, though, (although it would be nice to also see some fallout from the incredibly traumatic things that happened to Lauren at the end of last season, maybe?) and ALSO TAMSIN. TAMSIIIIIIN. IF TAMSIN COULD MAKE OUT WITH BO STAT, THAT WOULD BE A+. TAMSIN FETT. MAKE IT SO, FANDOM. Also how am I supposed to secretly ship Hale/Kenzi when HE IS NOT EVEN ON MY SCREEN. /deep thoughts with Jack Handy
Haha, guys, I am so led by the nose by femslash fandom. Were it not for a combination of irrational prejudice and lack of time/energy for a new show/fandom, I have little doubt that OUaT would be a thing in my life.
SO THAT'S ME. HERE I AM. WHERE ARE YOU?
