initial thoughts: Sports Night
Spoilers for - the pilot. S4 of West Wing
What I knew going into this: it's about a team of sportscaster, it's a half hour show, Dan/Casey is fandom's OTP, and mireille719 suggested that I would be inspired to write femslash.
And seriously, I don't know what she was talking about. Because the only girls I saw were the slightly bitter very alpha heart-of-gold producer(?) (Dana) and the bouncy chipper idealistic caffeine-high something or other (Natalie.) And seriously, it's not like both those characters hit particular character!kinks of mine and like the two of them together would in any way resemble my favorite kind of OTP. Nope.
I'm so crazy about Jeremy! I'm not terribly fond of Will, because of the whole replacing-Sam factor, but the comically misfitting overly-eager new guy just works for Joshua Malina. I heart him. And Jeremy/Natalie is going to be cute, isn't it? I'm going to really like it because of the geeks-in-love factor. I've only seen like, two seconds of Natalie but I already really really like her. Kaylee kinds of liking. (Kaylee/Natalie? So going on the get-Kaylee-laid list.)
Dan and Casey - yeah. I am a) having trouble telling them apart and b) underwhelmed but not surprised. I wasn't really expecting to like them, since I am currently incapable of picking popular pairings, and they're just, oh, hum, hoyay! I'll probably enjoy them more later, and I did think that Casey's relationship with his son Charlie (why do all the source-of-angst sons need to be named Charlie? Is this a thing?) was sweet.
I'm enjoying the Sorkinian dialogue like whoa.
Will possibly take another hit watch another episode before bed.
Will need to make an icon, as soon as I start 'capping!
