A strange and random collection of TV thoughts

Why yes, my pet TV shows DO consume my life. :D

I'm warning you now, except for The X-Files, this post contains huge SPOILERS for all aired episodes of the named shows!

I just realized today that it will be episode 10, and the FIRST significant A/K interaction of the season. I feel a bit resentful about this.
Hmph. I hope this one is EPIC to make up for the long, sad K/A dearth.

Dana talking about Kalinda during sex with Cary got a big WTF from me. That's just not on. I'm going to pretend I didn't read that bit about a D/C/K threesome. ;)

why else would she have only passing annoyance for his hot/cold treatment of Bo, but be downright dour to Lauren most of the time?

Ooohh, this is a good point. Kenzi does seem to have serious issues with Lauren. Though she did end up CURSING Dyson after he broke up with Bo, and apparently Baba Yega doesn't enact curses that the curser doesn't really mean. And you know what they say about a drunk man's thoughts being a sober man's words...

LOL, I totally did not notice Lauren's shirt-repetition. Poor bb. At least it's a nice shirt.

Heeee, shoulder pads. And the PANTSUITS. :p I can definitely work with a slow burn, though. I absolutely see strong friendship and trust between them, and do a little squee whenever one gets all protective of the other (gah, they're so adorbable *squeezes them*), which is what lots of good romances are built on. Apparently there's a random Scully pregnany with an indeterminate father out of the blue later on? Not sure what to say about that...but eh, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Must go get pie out of the oven now. Happy Thanksgiving!

Dude, just remember that I called it, ks? I'm telling you. This way, the following things happen: The writers get the C/K sexytiemz they are so effing dead-set on without it being *serious* or *emotional* enough to follow through on, they fulfill their contractual obligations to have sweeps week Kalinda girl-on-girl action, and Dana gets to resolve her curiosities without giving up her baseball bat or whatevertf is so important to her during sex.

Siiiiigh. Of all the threesomes I desperately want to see on this show, THIS IS NOT ONE.

But anyways.

Kenzi DID curse Dyson, but eventually she always forgives him and snuggles him and treats him like a woobie. Whereas Lauren always gets a hairflip. There might also be some jealousy there too -- Kenz sorta likes being the "woman" in Bo's life, and Bo's human. But she should get over it because Lauren's better.

As you go through XF, make sure you watch the first movie at the point when it came out during the series... I'm not actually sure when that was. After S3, S4 maybe? SO GOOD.

Happy Thanksgiving to yoooou! I'm still full. :-/

Okay, so the good XF movie is just called The X-Files (June 1998) and the crappy one is TXF: I Want to Believe (2008), right? The good one aired after S5, according to Teh Interwebz. Is it important to the plot of the TV show?

The whole "the government is hiding aliens from us!!!" conspiracy storyline gets a bit of an eyeroll from me, but oh well, I can look past it because everything else is so goooooood.

Dude, just remember that I called it, ks?
Don't take this the wrong way, but I REALLY HOPE YOU ARE WRONG (except I did LOL at your baseball bat comment). If that happens it will be so many different kinds of bad. Let's see. Another opportunity to further alienate Alicia if she finds out? Check. More of Kalinda's bizarre relationship with sex, proving she's learned absolutely nothing in three years? Check. A bi woman who sleeps with anything that moves? Check (ugh, so much check).

Now the word "check" looks really weird to me.

Obviously we should see a Will/Alicia/Kalinda threesome instead. Heeeee, I just cracked myself up imagining the astonishing awkwardness of that situation. :p

There might also be some jealousy there too -- Kenz sorta likes being the "woman" in Bo's life, and Bo's human. But she should get over it because Lauren's better.
Hmm, you might be on to something there. But silly Kenzi, Bo needs a gorgeous girlfriend AND a hilarious best friend! You are BOTH awesome.

I was thinking about the practice of "claiming" humans to protect them from being used as Fae toys/food/clothing/etc. Is it some kind of official process with Fae powers attached to it, or is it just that a Fae says "hey, that's my human, don't screw with him/her"? Because if it's the former, maybe Bo could make Lauren "her" human to mitigate some of the Ash's power.

But then, I'm sure she would have already thought of that if it would work. And the whole practice of claiming humans kind of creeps me out, anyway.

[sweetjamielee]

I think the good movie is called X-Files: Fight the Future. But yes, 1998 sounds about right. They did a really nice job as far as having the movie fit into the mytharc, yet work great as a stand-alone. If you watched the series without ever watching the movie, you probably wouldn't know that you missed anything, and if you watched the movie without the series, you'd probably still find it enjoyable and exciting. What it basically does is add EXTRA evidence of A. how deep the conspiracy rabbithole goes, and B. how deep is Mulder and Scully's abiding trust/love.

Now see, I'd TOTALLY believe the government covers up stuff about aliens, so I don't eyeroll at this. But I watched a lot of Unsolved Mysteries as a kid.:)

Man, I hope I'm wrong about the threesome too, but WHERE ELSE could they being going with this? D talking about K during sex with C -- and C obvs getting off on it -- was like a huge foreshadow to me. And if we're to buy that Kalinda is actually developing *feelings* for Cary (ugh), it kind of makes sense that she would do something like that... with the threesome, she'd get to indulge in sex with him, but also minimize the emotion and intimacy of the experience by sharing it with someone else.

I DON'T LIKE IT EITHER. D: Time will tell.

It felt like Kenzi's "claiming" was fairly informal, yes? But yet I also get the feeling that once one is claimed, someone else can't jump in and be like OH, and she's mine, too. So Bo "stealing" Lauren from the Ash probably wouldn't go over well. Especially when the Ash is apparently a baddie with a fake-ass head.:)

[zinnia_rose]

I believe in aliens (or, more specifically, that there is life SOMEWHERE else in the universe, given how absolutely huge it is), but I'm not so sure they've ever come to Earth. And I certainly don't think they abduct people and probe them or whatever, nor do I think they're little green men. :p While I definitely think there is a TON of information the government is covering up/keeping secret/witholding, I don't really buy that they'd be able to withold aliens coming to Earth. Apparently I have little faith in the government's ability to keep THAT HUGE of a secret.

OR MAYBE aliens are already here...but we have no idea, because they aren't what we recognize as life. :-O *cue Twilight Zone music* (Actually, I think it's pretty much guaranteed that if there is life on other planets/galaxies/etc, we won't recognize it as such because it will be beyond the realm of anything we've ever imagined.)

I'm starting to sound like a complete nutjob so I think I'll shut up now. :P

Anyway. The movie sounds amaaaaaaaaaazing and I will definitely watch it at the end of season 5! I am totally in favor of extra Mulder/Scully-ness, in whatever form it may appear. I can't believe I totally missed the release of the 2008 movie. Media awareness fail.

The more I think about D bringing up K while she was having sex with C (what are we going to do if they ever bring in a character with a repeating first inital??), the weirder I find it. That's, like, Rule #1 of relationships -- don't bring up the woman your boyfriend/lover might have a bit of a thing for. UNLESS a threesome has been Dana's plan all along? I can kind of see it being Cary's idea, but I guess we don't know much about Dana yet so who knows, maybe she travels around the country inciting threesomes. ;)

I still have tentatively high hopes for next week's A/K episode (whyyyyyy do we have to wait two weeks??? *sob*), though. DON'T LET ME DOWN, TGW.

LOL, yeah, if I were Bo I probably wouldn't want to mess with the Ash. Though I guess she doesn't know about his fake head yet.

[sweetjamielee]

Haha, it doesn't sound all THAT nutty. My ultimate belief about all the paranormal/supernatural stuff is that there is very little I can presume to know FOR SURE. Very few things are impossible. I feel this way about religion, too. Do I think that God exists in the exactly the way that he/she/them/it is described in ANY text as written by human beings? Probably not. Am I arrogant enough to assume that God CERTAINLY doesn't exist in any form? Eh. Nothing surprises me.:) If God does exist, I'm not sure any of us can fully wrap our minds around it.

Who knows what Dana's game is. I'm not 100% sure she has one, aside than the professional agenda everybody on this show has. She probably just your typical straight girl who would be willing to make some *adjustments* for the sake of Kalinda Sharma.

I have high hopes for next epi just for the mere suggestion that Kalinda and Alicia will be in the same FRAME. Jeeshus. This is what I've been reduced to!

[zinnia_rose]

Ah, yes, I've long since resigned myself to the fact that I will most likely never know if there are aliens among us or not. :p

I don't believe in a god(s), but I'd say my certainty is more along the lines of 85-90% than 100%. It's impossible for all of the sacred texts to be right at the same time (except in the sense that what people believe does exist *for them*), so how can we possibly know which one to believe?

Eh. If there is a god(s) and he/she/it/they wanted me to believe in him/her/it/them, he/she/it/they could have made that happen. :P

I have zero expectations of ever learning in this lifetime about the existence, or lack thereof, of extraterrestrial life. This probably should bother me more than it does, but I'm quite okay with it.

I have high hopes for next epi just for the mere suggestion that Kalinda and Alicia will be in the same FRAME.
AND THEY MIGHT EVEN TALK TO EACH OTHER. I would probably be pleased with a freaking one-word exchange at this point. Hell, even just LOOKING at each other would be nice.

Obviously we should see a Will/Alicia/Kalinda threesome instead. Heeeee, I just cracked myself up imagining the astonishing awkwardness of that situation. :p
I forgot to mention this before, but my bud threeguesses wrote an UHMAYZING W/A/K threesome fic back in the day that this fandom inspired such things. It's worth a read -- it IS awkward, but also beautiful and sexy and it'll make you WANT THINGS.
