TV thoughts and ficcish things
Why do TV creators who have broken my heart and then stomped around on it not impressed me have to do things like come up with new shows and then cast Stockard Channing in them???? How can I watch further work of Ron D. Moore???? How can I not watch Stockard Channing???? And it's a supernatural cop show. Also to star Jamie Bamber, apparently, which is exciting other people more than me, but hey, I like Bamber well enough, I guess. Link here. *frets*
Speaking of supernatural cop shows, I've watched a few more eps of Fringe and am not yet in love, but I'm starting to get more interested. Why, though, must Joshua Jackson be so annoying??? I think this needs to be the Olivia, Walter, Astrid, and guy-from-The-Wire show, and Peter can go back to wherever he came from. (This is all going to end in tears, isn't it?)
And in non-supernatural cop show news, I was less impressed with episode two of The Chicago Code, in which we learn that no, the white guy with manpain is really the centre of this show. It's still got lots of potential as a narrative, but I want this to be Theresa's narrative, and not whatshisface's. Except that per the above RDM comment, it's worth noting that this show is done by the guy who sent Lie to Me off the rails by turning it into The Cal Show, so I'm not particularly hopeful.
But Castle remains awesome, so all is well with the world.

I celebrated Galentine's Day over the past few days and wrote a handful of gift ficlets for some of my gals. Multi-fandom, all about women, of varying degrees of quality:
For runawaynun, an Alias snippet of Irina and Sydney during the missing years.
For nicole_anell, Caprica Six, pre BSG miniseries.
For gabolange, Jane Rizzoli and Maura Isles on Valentine's Day.
For chaila43, a Queen's Thief ficlet (set between books three and four, but with spoilers through the latter) about Eddis and the magus.
For beccatoria, Susan Ivanova and Delenn, approximately 30 years after the Babylon 5 finale.
And for rose_griffes, a TSCC ficlet about Savannah Weaver in a future that's probably a bit too hopeful.
