Saw last week's Sons of Anarchy, forgot to post about it.
...Not that it matters much, since nobody around here seems to watch that show. (Don't know why. It's quite good. And has hot guys, besides.)
Anyway. I am seriously starting to ship Jax and Hale - the deputy police chief - I think. And it's not just that authority figure/outlaw is my [not-so-]secret kink. They're also both pretty... and boy, they hate each other. (Well, more accurately, Sam Crow (the local SoA charter) hates non-corrupt law enforcement, and said law enforcement hates them; but that's pretty close.)
It's a lovely combination.
It's actually a bit strange for me to start developing a slash OTP so early into a series - considering I usually stick to het when it comes to most television. And when I do rarely start liking a slashy pairing, half the time it'll get Jossed by one character leaving or something; or the way they totally killed Sean/Christian on Nip/Tuck, when they had to go and show the future, destroying all possibility that they would end up together (at least until they're very old). They were such rooster-teasers with that, grr. Building up the slashers' hopes, then crushing them...
Sorry, rant over. My uh, point is... it's kinda weird. And I don't know if it'll last. But right now, I love the idea of them together. I mean, I don't kid myself that anything will ever happen in canon to lend merit to this pairing - beyond a lot more glaring and banter (and maybe even a fistfight or two... mmm), which can always be interpreted as UST. But if there's fic out there about them? Prefarably having hot, angly hate!sex... especially if there's dub-con... I would read it in a heartbeat.
*resists running off to look for it this very moment*
...And I get that we're all supposed to ship Jax with whatshername, the doctor. Maybe I will, eventually. I do kinda like her, and I guess she and Jax could be sweet together... but I don't really see a ton of appeal at this point. Maybe it's that I missed the first two episodes - I mean, in the ones I've seen, they've barely said two words to each other.
Meanwhile? I feel rather bad for that new blond chick. She was pretty, and seemed really nice (if I little bit easy), but I think she got in way over her head. And true, Jax did sorta save her from an abusive boyfriend... but she didn't even get to be with him in the end. I mean, I don't know if we'll see her again- maybe we will, maybe they'll even hook up again. But still.
I really liked the brunette, though - the waitress over at the Devil's Tribe club. She was selling herself out a little bit, but she was really smart about it at the same time, and seemed to know what was going on better than some of the bikers. Never mind that she's young and tiny, she was right about having what it takes to make a great Old Lady, I think. She could totally be Gemma one day.
Now, her I would love to see again. Though I kinda doubt it. Unless they end up going to Nevada a lot. ...Or, if she really does head over to Charming one day, and finally hook up with That Guy. Anybody from Terminus who's reading this: no, not That Guy. *cough*
