TV this week, plus 333 BSG fic recs
Somehow I finally managed to tag all of my bookmarked Battlestar Galactica fics by character. So consider this a big, searchable list of BSG fic recs from me.
*collapses*
(Feel free to tell me if I missed any important character tags.)
I managed to watch a lot of TV this weekend. Lots for me anyway. Episodes of Doctor Who, Community, Parks and Recreation, Prime Suspect and... wait, that might be it.
Parks and Recreation, season four premiere. Oh Ben. Oh Leslie. Oh Ben and Leslie. That was quite possibly the best TV breakup I've ever seen. *sniffles*
Prime Suspect's pilot episode was quite good. Nice introduction to the lead character; a gritty, realistic feel to the world of the New York city homicide detective. Since I never watched the original British series, I'm not haunted by comparisons. I'm not sure I'd say that I like Jane Timoney, but she's compelling. I want to rewatch her scenes away from work: with her husband, with her father, with her husband's ex-wife and her new husband. Even that opening scene, heh. (She's trying jogging. It's apparently not going well.)
I would say Prime Suspect appears grim, especially for network TV. Lots of fake blood, lots of unpleasant people. But it does have a fantastic cast and is stealing material from one of the best shows from the UK, so I have some good expectations for it.
As for the other shows, I enjoyed them. Nothing deeper to say than that. Oh, and TV tropes has finally caught up with decades of Inspector Spacetime information. *laughs and laughs*
Still need to find time to watch the pilot of Human Target Person of Interest before the second episode airs.
