2007 The Year In List Format
2007 The Year in Review
Events Attended: Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Evanescence,
Tori Amos Concerts, Graduation, Day After Thanksgiving
Sales, My 1st Baseball Game, WICKED,
And for the Spoiler Portion of our Program we have my Favourites of 2007 in no particular order with Movies, TV, Vids, Fics, Songs, Albums and Books that I've been entertained by throughout the year.
TV
Bones
2x18 - The Killer in the Concrete was just an awesome
Bones ep! It had all the hallmarks of Bones that make it
fantastic.
3x02 - The Soccer Mom in the Minivan was just such a
great Brennan episode! It has to be my favourite of the
new season so far despite there being an episode that had
both Temperance Brennan AND Vicki Nelson my latest
favourite investigators! (Except Vicki Nelson liked
horses a wee bit too much in that epi and kinda ruined it
for me. *SIGH*)
I really feel like 2x11 Judas on a Pole should get a
special mention here because I didn't see it til Mid
January and HOLY FREAKIN CRAP I think this might be my
favourite Bones epi EVER! I mean Duchovny Directed it!
Bones' Dad was there! The shoulder patting! The chin
thing! Just AHHHHHHH! Awesome epi!!
Supernatural - A Very Supernatural Christmas and No Exit
Now I just got into SPN earlier this year. I didn't
really get why my flist was spazzing out about it so much
as I hadn't found the true splendour of loving Dean. And
then I did! (Kamokasan, you are an evil skank whore for
doing that to me!) so it's all pretty much mush in my
head from watching it in mostly one go but these two
really stuck out for me.
A Very Supernatural Christmas - The end of this episode
was cuter than a barrel of puppies wearing bows!! Nuff
said!
No Exit - It had Jo, a Ghostly Serial Killer, a CEMENT
TRUCK and Jo & Dean snarking off each other, I can ask
for no more! Oh but ELLEN! Ellen yelling at Dean!!!
Heeeeeeeee!
My favourite scene from SPN this year though HAS to be
Sam losing his shoe. The woebegone puppy look on his face
was just plain AWESOME! *dies*
Blood Ties - 2x10
This technically should be the S1 finale but Lifetime's
pulling a Scifi and pretending that one season is two.
Regardless of that fact HOLY! CRAP! Awesome frakking
episode!!! Just ridiculously awesome! Vicki! And MIKE!
ZOMG MIKE!!! I can't say anything beyond that without
spoiling (and cheapevilgirlis too much of a spoiler whore to
resist reading this) but ZOMG!!!!!!
Prison Break (Prior to S3)
S3 after the box episode is MADE OF FAIL. And I hate
them. And I don't care whose choice it was I still hate
them. And I want Michael Scofield out of frakking Sona
NOW so he can have the freak out he so deeply
deserves!!!!
Prison Break S2 up until the very last 5 minutes was made
of WIN!!! And
Pushing Daisies
I was expecting to like this show, but the amount of joy
it brings me I cannot even express! It is squeefully
delicious!! It is adorable, adorkable, FUNNY, quirky,
shippy and I could not love it more if it tried to make
me! Also? Kristin Chenoweth is INCREDIBLY awesome!!!
Jericho
I really wasn't impressed with the premiere of this show, and then I saw the second episode and boyhowdy was I hooked! Seriously it's got excellent stamped all over it! Hell it even got me to take Skeet Ulrich seriously! :)
Chuck
Chuck is on this list b/c Zeedoubleu made me watch it and I'm so glad he did!! It's Alias if Alias had been (was mean't to be) funny!! It's HILARIOUS! I love Chuck! I want to work at the BuyMore it looks like FUN! Heck I even hate Adam Baldwin a little less because of it!!
Movies - I need to preface this by saying I saw many a
movie this year, I don't remember half of them so I'm
sure these aren't the only ones I loved they're the only
ones I remember. *L*
Enchanted
Saw this over Thanksgiving weekend with my invaders and
this was just about the CUTEST dang movie EVER! McDreamy
being McDreamy! James Marsden SINGING! Idina Menzel!!!
There were dragons and an evil queen and fairy tales and
musical numbers and was just ADORABLE! Much love!!
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
This was so much better than I expected it to be!! So
much of the book was cut but it's been a few years since
I saw it so I don't really remember what was cut. The end
fight at the Ministry was awesome (even though it strayed
a hell of a ways away from the book) and I LOVE Luna!
She's just plain AWESOME ! Umbridge was freakin PERFECT!
I hated her SO bad! She didn't look like she should have
but other than that she pulled it off beautifully! Gary
Oldman is still not Sirius though.
Pirates of the Caribbean At World's End
A lot of people didn't like the 3rd POTC movie, a lot of
people didn't like the 2nd one for that matter, I am NOT
one of those people. I bloody LOVED it!!!!! What really
stuck out for me in this movie is the Hoist The Colours
song, it just really made the whole movie work for me! I
loved that there was a tag after the credits to make the
ending awesome. I love JACK (and 14 million Jacks is NOT
a bad thing!) I loved the story with Tia Dalma. I just
LOVED! This movie! Might not have been as perfect as the
first one but y'know I'm okay with that.
Becoming Jane
Dear GOD did this movie bring the ship! And how! Kamokasan
and I left the theater giggling like 13 y/o's it was that
cute! It ENDED BADLY and we still left giggling over how
shippy it was! Adorable movie!
Books
The Blood Books by Tanya Huff
So I watched the series, then read the books and read the
books out of order (because I can't seem to ever read
things in order *L*) so I was already spoiled for the
ending by the time I read the first book. (Read it 2, 4,
3, 1, 5 and am currently set to start 6 which is really a
compilation of short stories) I liked Vicki Nelson and
Mike on screen but I LOVE them on the page! They're so
well drawn and messed up and witty and sarcastic and I'm
really surprised by how much I ended up liking these
books! They're just freakin fantastic! Even the thing
that happened at the end of 4 didn't ruin 5 for me. The
banter, the mystery, just everything about it!!
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
I've already written a whole huge post on this but let's
just say I laughed, I screamed, I squeed like a 13 y/o
fangirl at a Hannah Montana concert, I didn't quite cry
but I was close to it, I did NOT throw the book at any
point despite being tempted to, I was faked out by JKR, I
was blown away by JKR and gorramnit by the end of the
book I still liked Fleur! *L* And her interviews since
the book came out have been awesome with the little
details of what happened after Hogwarts.
Fanfics - Again, these are not the only fics I've really liked
this year, they're really the only fics I remember really
liking this year and so the list is pretty short. *L*
The African Star --
This is a Pirates of the Caribbean fic set after the
first movie and is quite possibly the BEST piece of
fiction I've read all year and I'm including books I've
paid money for in this folks! Elizabeth gets kidnapped
(again!) by evil slavers and Will (and Jack) must mount a
rescue. It reads so smoothly and so in character I think
I might like it better than the second movie at this
point!
The Snow Queen --
This is an Angel fanfic set in S2 starring Cordy and Gunn
and a case gone wrong with a kidnapped Angel and Wes.
It's awesome fic and I could've seen it as an episode.
Fics by Lerdo --
This girl writes Bones fic so well and so in character
and manages to bring the shippiness without smacking you
in the face with it and it is just all around fantastic!
I couldn't even begin to pick a favourite one of all her
fic I've read.
