30 female characters meme: the brains of the outfit

Oct 08, 2010 22:20

I. This week felt loooong. I am not sure why, really, since in theory it was no different from any other week, but oh my god was I glad to finish work today. It’s Thanksgiving weekend, so we get Monday off as well, which is swell. Thanksgiving tends to be something of a non-event in my house, and this year my dad’s in Beijing so it’s just me and my ( Read more... )

I still want to believe Suzie said there's nothing just to stick it to Jack and Co. That or she just doesn't remember where she went when she was dead.

But yes, Tosh rules mightily.

_thirty2flavors October 9 2010, 02:34:38 UTC

Don't the dead guy and Owen say the same thing though? lol I dunno even as an atheist, I'm not gonna lie, Torchwood's constant reptition of "THERE IS NO GOD!!!!!!!!1111111" cracks me up.

Tosh was my favourite. Poor dead Tosh.

Yeah, I guess as somebody who does believe in both the afterlife and reincarnation, I guess I'm really uncomfortable with the idea of there being absolutely nothing after death as RTD implied. Even with Ten describing regeneration it made it sound like there was no joy to it and the previous incarnation knows nothing after that. Just doesn't settle well with me, but different strokes for different folks, I guess.

Yes, poor poor Tosh.

THIS ENTIRE ENTRY IS A+
REALLY AND TRULY

I will always treasure this week's Office for JAM's pissy mumbling scene.

FUCK YEAH HERMIONE AND TOSH
Those two (and Martha, I think) should form an AWESOME LADIES WHO SAVE ALL THE THINGS WHILE EVERYONE ELSE IS OFF DICKING AROUND club.

Your dad always travels to awesome places. At some point you should force him to take you along.

TY TY

I didn't know I wanted to see Andy perform in a Sondheim musical until I saw Andy perform in a Sondheim musical. omg lol "omigosh did you write this?" "no... it's Stephen Sondheim..." "Oh, who's that?"

I CONSIDERED PUTTING MARTHA WITH HERMIONE but Tosh won on account of being an actual genius. BUT THEY SHOULD DEFINITELY FORM A CLUB. IT CAN BE LIKE A SPINOFF OF THE FINER BAMF CLUB. THE UNDERAPPRECIATED BAMF CLUB.

Ugh I KNOW. HDhe work for a company that has money. lirl

MY FAVORITE PART OF THE OFFICE WAS MICHEAL'S LAW AND ORDER MONOLOGUE AUDITION AT THE END. IDEK. I THINK THE FACT THAT HE DID THE "DUNK DUNK" AND THE THEME SONG CRACKED ME UP.

_thirty2flavors October 9 2010, 02:41:18 UTC

LOL MICHAEL'S AUDITION WAS AMAZING. The episode was so hilarious, IDK, it's been a long time since an Office episode amused and delighted me so much. IF WE DON'T LISTEN TO THE OVERTURE WE WON'T RECOGNIZE THE MUSICAL THEMES WHEN THEY COME UP LATER

Abed/Baby!plot was one of the few hilarious moments in an otherwise so-so episode (at least for me).

And yes, yes, YES to Tosh. For various reasons, I couldn't stomach 'Torchwood', but, from what little of it I did watch, she was the bright, shining star. I felt so bad that her alien!girlfriend had to be evil - they were cute together, until, y'know, they weren't anymore since alien!girlfriend was evil...

I would be very, very happy to see some S5 fic from you in the future! Espeically if it has Rory! *shining anime-like eyes of hope*

_thirty2flavors October 9 2010, 02:38:07 UTC

Same! And I didn't even realize it was there until I got online! Well, I noticed the baby, but somehow missed out on Abed being in all those scenes, omg.

Yeah poor Tosh, the narrative is cruel to her. I ended up liking Gwen (and Rhys) a lot in COE, but in s1 and s2 it was pretty much all just Tosh, lol.

Oh, any s5 fic I write will probably feature Rory heavily, since he is... my favourite of the s5 gang, lol. The fic does not seem to be cooperating at the moment though, unfortunately. It sounds better in my head than it does in print.

fauxkaren October 9 2010, 02:31:12 UTC

I didn't notice the Abed plot until I read about it on the Community community (hardy har har). I just posted an entry on my lj in which I documented where the plot crops up. I THOUGHT IT WAS BRILLIANT. LIKE WHOA.

Also, I adore Hermione. I identify with her a lot. I had a tendency to be that really obnoxious know-it-all kind when I was younger. And even though she is awesome and amazing and wonderful, she isn't a saintly and perfect character either. With SPEW her heart is in the right place, but she is doing an awful lot of White Knighting. And she can sink to Ron's level sometimes like in HBP when she invites Cormac as her date to Slughorn's Christmas party. But really I love her. One of my favorite characters in the entire series.

_thirty2flavors October 9 2010, 02:40:04 UTC

I noticed the baby, but no Abed's involvement, so I, too, had to rewatch the episode! I just read your summary though and I had missed the first bit or two. Best part of the episode, lol.

Yeah, definitely. Hermione has her flaws as a character to balance out her AWESOME POWER, but she's great. I appreciate her more now than I did when I first read the books, and especially on this reread of DH. Damn girl, you're saving everyone!

Why wouldn't it be a real Thanksgiving??? (Though what do you guys in Canada do about Black Friday???)

Oh, Tosh. She's the only bearable character on TW.

_thirty2flavors October 9 2010, 04:48:38 UTC

IDK BUT AMERICANS SAY IT A LOT WHEN WE MENTION THANKSGIVING. Anddd we don't do Black Friday! Which.. solves that.

LOL Correct. I warmed to Gwen in COE, but I found her irritating in s1 and s2.

turtle_goose October 9 2010, 05:09:17 UTC

IDK BUT AMERICANS SAY IT A LOT WHEN WE MENTION THANKSGIVING.

Ah. Yeah, we're like that sometimes. Just ignore us.

Anddd we don't do Black Friday! Which.. solves that.

YOU DON'T START THE HOLIDAY SEASON WITH ONE DAY OF HELLISH SHOPPING, OVERCROWDED STORES, AND CONSUMERS BEING TRAMPLED ALL IN THE NAME OF MATERIALISTIC CHRISTMAS GLEE? *can't remember the last time she ventured out to shop on BF*

LOL Correct. I warmed to Gwen in COE, but I found her irritating in s1 and s2.

Eh, I was never too fond of Gwen. Then again, cheating/adultery is a huge turn-off for me.

_thirty2flavors October 9 2010, 05:11:18 UTC

LOL We do boxing day? Do you guys do boxing day, I can never remember. Boxing day is less helpful for the pre-Christmas shopping though. It is more like "TIME TO BUY THE THING I WANTED AND DIDN'T GET".

Yeah, I think that was a large part of what I didn't like about her in s1 and s2. In COE there was none of that tomfoolery -- plus RTD was writing and I tend to love how he writes women -- so I was able to ~embrace~ her character more.
