Is it The Holy Day of SPN Obligation Again Already?
After last week, I'm not so quick to bow down this week. We'll have to see how things go.
~
Okay, TV catch up time. Most of these are brief because I'm sick and I don't feel commenty.
First, congrats to Michael C. Hall for being cancer-free!
The finale last season totally shocked me, and I felt like Dexter was in shock the whole episode too. I know he's not supposed to be able to feel human emotion properly, but it didn't take that last line at the funeral for me to know that he loved Rita as much as he possibly could love a woman romantically.
I can't get over the image of Harrison sitting in his mother's blood, screaming. The mirror with Dexter's own life is just... too much, and it has a horror in itself that's visceral. Oh, Darla, you always die horribly!
Weird detail I noted: on the side of the fridge in Dexter's apartment is a menu that says, "Killer Menu". Hee.
I forgot that Dexter and Rita lived in a "little pink house" like John Mellancamp's American Dream -- and ultimately, it's fake.
Astor is going to drive me NUTS this season, I can tell. She's going to have to get in line with Quinn, who I freaking HATE.
I ALMOST thought Dexter was actually going to run away, but then I realized that wouldn't make for much of a show. Interested to see how they're going to pull off this season. It's going to be hard to top Lithgow's Trinity, and Julia Stiles BUGS me, so...

Okay, look, I loves me some wangsty wounded puppy anti-heroes, but can we PLEASE just find Abel already? We're 4 episodes into a 12 episode season, and almost NOTHING has happened yet. I'm over this storyline.
I mean, I don't even get WTF the Irish are keeping the baby for. I'm sure it's part of some grand scheme, but GIVE US A HINT ALREADY.
Side note: I think it's funny and kind of charming how Charlie Hunnam's Irish comes out when he's shouting, really intensly angry, and when he tries (and fails) to say "Vancouver". So cute! I know that bugs some people, but I like it. And he's hot, so you know I forgive a lot in trade for that.
Awwww, his hair is so awful, but I adore Opie. I think he should keep the hat on.
Man, Hal Holbrook's performance has been so awesome this season. The character is so tragic -- the rose garden, his Alzheimer's. He broke my heart. (And, apparently, Gemma's.)
Tara, it is NOT a good to lie to Jax about stuff... even if you had Stephen King do cleanup.
Ha! Does this count as a Married with Children shoutout? Clay: Maybe you go redhead for a while. Gemma: Christ, I'd rather shave my head.
Wow, that spiderweb tattoo on Clays elbow must have HURT. You know, if it was real.
Heh. I am so shallow. While I was tearing up for Gemma at the nursing home, I noticed that I really loved her boots.
That priest is an evil motherfucker, man. He needs to die horribly.
OMG! Did Gemma just have another heart attack? Shit, she can't catch a break, can she? And now she can't tell the guys that Abel is in Ireland!
Fuck me, man. I guess we're going to get the story really rolling now? Did Gemma really turn herself into the Feds? ARGH. Is it next week yet?

Terriers was REALLY good this week -- the story is starting to go somewhere. Come on, baby, hold on a while longer! I especially like the addition of Hank's sister Steph. Who is, for a bit of trivia, played by Donal's sister Karina Logue! I love this show, I don't want it to go away. For those of you who have been holding off, or thought it didn't have enough umph, the action is really starting to pick up, and the storyline is growing some teeth.

... whut?
But don't feel bad, ladies or gents so inclined... there's a corresponding model for you too.
You can put it on the shelf next to your sparkling Twilight Edward Peen.
Whatever happened to old fashioned things that were like, flesh colored? Maybe sparkly pink just for fun? Or hey, here's something radical -- USING YOUR HANDS!
Sorry. Themed sex toys wig me out. Especially when they look like that Avatar dildo. *shudder* (Although, I don't know, it might be interesting if it wasn't THEMED.)

I'm not a big Oprah fan, but I have to say A MILLION THANK YOU'S to the woman for interviewing JK Rowling instead of Stephenie Freaking Bane of My Existence Meyer. THANK YOU.
Of course, I'm bored senseless by the interview, but it's the principle of the thing. You don't have to be fascinated by a writer to really enjoy their material, no?
~
Speaking of writing, starting tomorrow or Sunday and over the next month or so, I'm going to be needing a beta or two or three for some fic I'll be writing -- mostly B/A mush for schmoop_bingo. Some will be porny, but all will be morshy. Anybody in the mood, please let me know.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled waiting for Supernatural to come on.
