This Thing Called Life.
Quick update for you all on last week...2 ambulance rides, a couple days in the hospital, severe dizziness, nausea, fatigue, 6 different tests, 5 different doctors, 4 different possible diagnoses, 2 new medicines and now I'm home. Best guess is that I had a UTI that slammed into me on Saturday and caused me to pass out while I was peeing and then

Monster movies need to have monsters, that's the idea.

Yeah, it sucks pretty hard/ Apparently the inflammation in the inner ear presses against your nerves and causes the signals to get all messed up in there and also causes some temporary hearing loss - every time I lay with my one good ear pressed into the pillow, the world gets kind of muted sounding, it's very strange. It's definitely getting better - I'm just hoping this is the last time I get this virus - it is no fun and takes forever to go away.
Monster movies need to have monsters, that's the idea.It billed itself as an alien apocalypse movie about a journalist and his female friend trying to get through the infected zone before the quarantine walls were closed and it's titled 'Monsters', so you'd think it'd be more Battle: Los Angeles style, action, running, monsters, etc. It was more a character piece about how this experience changed them and the people they used to be - which is fine, but just not what I was expecting. If they had billed it ( ... )

Ditto on MAOS -- it has been soooo good the past few episodes. The last one was riveting.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE FINALE?! OMGOMGOMG! I don't want to say anything until I know if you've seen the finale, but okay, is it me or is evil!Ward way hotter than Goody!Ward?
I watched 15 minutes of the first ep of 100 and had to stop. 90210 in future space. I am getting too old, I just cannot relate to the juvenile behavior. Everyone was so slappable.You know, I often enjoy those teen soap operas when they are ridiculous and just don't care. I am too old for the ones that take themselves seriously, but the campy ones (like Reign) really work for me. Unfortunately The 100 takes itself way too seriously and is basically just Lost with teenagers, which I might as well just be watching Lost again then. The parts I like ( ... )

It's as though the last few episodes showed the brilliance of the first few episodes. But the middle bogged down. I am hoping for more out of the show in season 2. I will watch it no matter the quality because, well, Phil.

Yes! When Garret popped back up, my sister was like, "Oh, of course, damn." And then Phil just came around the corner and BAM and that was it. Like it was so not tropey, like you expect the bad guy gets back up again at the very end of the episode dundundun - that always happens - but this time, nope, just BAM, moving on. AWESOME.
I feel like everything from the minute Hydra came along was pure gold. I think it just took them that long to find their footing - Whedon shows sometimes have this problem, Dollhouse in particular which was done by the same Whedons who are running this show. But now I feel like they have the perfect rounded team - Simmons, Melinda, Skye, Coulson, Triplett - and they have a clear mission - rebuild Shield - and I think that will really help S2 a lot.

We'll have some mutual AoS squee when you're up to it. :)

That is one good thing to take away from it - nothing wrong with my brain, except, you know, the usual insanity that goes on up there! lol (I told my Dad that the brain scan didn't find anything and he said, "Nothing at all? ahaha" Shithead!)
*hugs* Just try to take it easy (I know, not much choice, but still) and embrace the frequent nappage.
The sleeping has lessened but damn that first week, I swear I haven't slept like that, so long and so hard, since I was on the drugs. It was kind of nice.

I have now seen the finale! Have you seen the finale?! OMG. FITZSIMMONS!!! TRIPP! COULSON! AAAAAHHHHH! That moment towards the end when the Bus doors open and Simmons is standing there and the rest of the team gets that hero shot - like BAM, TEAM, damn. And with Mike...wait, have you seen the finale? I should shut up until I am sure you have seen the finale? But OMG!!

I kinda want to rewatch the whole thing (or even the last four eps) and then do one of my TWD-style reaction posts with ONE MEEELYON comments dissecting ALL OF IT! :D
You should totally do that!! Or do like individual posts about each character and their arcs throughout the season. Or something where we can spend all summer commenting back and forth to each other like crazy rabid hyenas!!!
