@ odakota_rose- dude, my dreams are getting more exotic. Last time, we were going on a road trip, this time, I dreamt that you and I were on holiday in Fiji together!

Cool! I love being tagged for memes [TAAAG MEEEE] but I'm always a little shy about tagging others, in case I seem demanding or something.

Twilight/Buffy?! Seriously? Justify your response! :P
At least with Roswell, they're both ordinary girls that attract the attention and devotion of extraordinary guys, but Buffy's kick-ass and special and has this destiny and everything...true, her show does have vampires, there's something in common, but the Buffy!vamps are so different from Twlighti!vamps... :P

AHAHA. Oh, duuude. I was going to post a Xena picspam but I ran out of time and space and now I really really wish I'd done it anyway because she and Gabrielle have this conversation in which Xena mocks the hell out of Gab's theory and it's hilarious. I'm grasping at straws here but I like any analogy in which I get to be Xena. :P

Though hey, I see where you're coming from, and it's not a bad theory- especially re: the hair and the brooding, lol.
I don't know if you've ever seen Gossip Girl but I compared Chuck/Blair to Buffy/Spike. Doesn't get much crackier than that. ^_^

I still have to see the last few Mentalist episodes. This picspam just made me squee :D

borg_princess May 26 2009, 00:44:24 UTC

Wow, I'm actually ahead of you for a change!

I don't usually say this about many shows but EVERY SINGLE EPISODE ROCKED. I mean, there isn't one that I would delete from the permanent record if I could, and I wouldn't edit it all too much because it gives me everything I want and does so perfectly. I love the balance of case/ship, the banter, the humor...and I love how kinda Mulder/Scully it's getting- beyond the obvious male/female partner thing, there's the whole 'man with the quest that takes him to dark, dangerous places and the woman trying to help him and save him' aspect.

This ep and the subsequent squee reminds me of Endgame, Mulder exchanging his sister for Scully- his sister, FFS, the answers he'd been searching for his whole life- and he gives her up for Scully...just like Jane did here, killing the guy that could've led him to Red John. I LOVE IT.

Ha, I'm glad you found it amusing! I won't say Smeyer ripped it off, but there were interesting similarities...

OMG, that finale was UNBELIEVABLY AWESOME. I have never been disappointed by this show, I am overwhelmed by that fact, since I've had other shows that treat me so bad.

Jane's character has developed through the situations he's been in (i.e in those episodes he gave Lisbon red-john-is-mine speeches and when he asked the killer-woman how does it feel to take revenge? and she said it doesn't go away).

Ooh, I'd forgotten about that scene in Scarlett Fever, good point! There was also that time when he convinced that girl in Flame Red that revenge isn't important and then the next minute, he says to Lisbon it was all lies ( ... )

hope after this huge success the writers don't ruin it ..

I will curse TPTB and make voodoo dolls and torture them for eternity if they screw up this show after stealing my heart. The writers have done awesome so far, though, so I'm going to have faith in them. *nodnod* I WANT TO BELIEEEVE.

lmao @ sex-in-her-office thing .. they're not Huddy for God sake :-p

Bwahaha. *giggles* That would be more of a Huddy thing, huh? :D
I haven't seen the finale yet- I was all frantic to and then I found out the smexing was a hallucination *sads*

what I really want the writers to do in S2 is dig deeper at Lisbon's, Rigsby's and Cho's life.. all we got is Grace's and Jane's..

YES YES YES. ITA. First season was all about Jane- which makes sense, he's the title character- and also Grace, which...yeah, she's the newest member of the team, blah blah blah. Okay, I get it, writers. Now for some LISBON-centric eps, please! [I love the other guys- Cho, in particular *cuddles*- but Lisbon definitely pwns them all]

I got this idea today that maybe the ( ... )

Edward: And so the lion fell in love with the lamb.
Bella: Stupid lamb.
Edward: Sick, masochistic lion.

That is the perfect summary for that book/film. Awesome. ^^

I have to say the movie was better than the book. It still wasn't good, but it was better.

Heh, a rare moment of self-awareness from Smeyer?

I kinda want to see the movie now. Apparently Bella exhibits more personality than in the book and she- gasp!- seems to give a damn about her friends rather than just using them to fill space in between the moments when she sees Edward and is consumed by her overwhelming obsession for him and nothing else in the world exists.

It still wasn't good, but it was better.
I- don't see how it could've gotten worse. *knock on wood* There are still another few movies to come out, though.

Thank you for showing Jane/Lisbon some love! I feel like I'm hitting my head against a brick wall in terms of trying to convince my f'list how awesome The Mentalist and Jane/Lisbon are.

I just LOVE the look on Lisbon's face when she says "No YOU think wrong, Can't you see there's people who care about you, who need you? " and how at any other time Jane would probably have teased her "Oh you CARE about me, do you?"

I'm glad you thought that about Jane dropping the gun too! Even though I was basking in my shippy "OMG HE SHOT SOMEONE FOR HER" I was distracted by the fact that was clearly dangerous.

Love your analysis as they are basically my thoughts too. :)

borg_princess May 27 2009, 23:20:26 UTC

Hee, you're welcome! Our flists need to be brainwashed into appreciating the love that is our ship! *worships Jane and Lisbon*

at any other time Jane would probably have teased her "Oh you CARE about me, do you?"

Exactly, EXACTLY. I'm just so glad the writers decided to let them have this heart-to-heart, her putting her emotions out there and him revealing how broken he really is [I don't know if that's him trying to be honest or warn her off or reverse psychology asking for help- it's so complicated!] instead of making it all flippant like any other scene during the season. Don't get me wrong, I love it when he tries to make her blush, but that would've been so out of context here, with this serious angsty mood.

Even though I was basking in my shippy "OMG HE SHOT SOMEONE FOR HER" I was distracted by the fact that was clearly dangerous

Ahaha! *luffs* Excellent, we can't both be wrong. I've never fired a gun before in my life, but I'm sure it wasn't a good idea. Imagine the angst- this would never happen, will never happen, but my ( ... )
