this is a ~tv~ post

[entwashian]

So we had a plumber over today to fix our "pressure regulator" (idek, you guys, I just parrot this stuff back), and I was watching Drop Dead Diva when he finished up & my mom paid him. AND THEN he was like, "Is this show good? I've always wanted to watch it, but never got around to it." It was a truly awesome moment

Can we replace Pete with a remorseful HG please? I greatly dislike him. Although my feelings for the show itself went up like woah when they let Myka and HG have a small heart to heart. I thought for sure they were going to act like HG never existed.

[entwashian]

Probably not, what with her getting her own spin-off & all. XD

But I dislike her just as much, anyway, so... XD

[jadeleopard]

Well I'm out of touch with my tv news :/

[entwashian]

Haha, the last official thing I heard about it was in May, so maybe it's fizzled by now?

Show definitely needs to get into Leena stuff. It has to happen. She's nice and I do like her, but I'd love to know more.

Fargo was fabulous in this episode. It was fabulous.

[entwashian]

I don't understand what she's doing there & why she is not an agent. Or why they'll say things like, "It's all hands on deck!" in an episode, but of course she won't be there. >:O

I am also kind of pissed with that thing about making Claudia into the next warehouse caretaker. She is training to be an agent which is something completely different, so it makes no sense at all! (Meanwhile, we know Leena has some sort of natural aptitude for "vibes", and is clearly not on the warehouse agent track...)

Our geeky little boy Fargo is growing up! :*D

[sellthelie]

Maybe she has some greater purpose? Hopefully there'll be something this year that'll explain how she came to be there, and more on her "vibes".

[entwashian]

Lol, I sure hope it's that they've got some card up their sleeve, and not just that they don't know/care what to do with her! XD

There was an awesome Yuletide fic last last year that theorized Leena is an artifact.

Pete's sexism is NOT funny. It is NOT cute.

This. Also, why would I want Myka back when her absence stopped Pete from making comments about that cold chick's breasts? Seems like that's a reason to keep her away, no? Pete needs to just go away, honestly, he's the most annoying character on that show, and he drags Myka down with him. I miss HG *sad sigh* I liked Aaron Ashmore though, he added some much needed sanity :)

Jo/Zane I was always okay with, but I'm surprised by how much more I've liked them in S4. Maybe it's because of the angst factor :P

[entwashian]

Haha, I know, when Claudia & Artie were making their comments, I was like, 'SERIOUSLY?! Don't tempt him!'

I think it's because Jo has grown more, honestly. Maybe because this is a real challenge for her? She's always been frustrated about being Carter's sidekick because she is so competent and handles everything thrown at her. But she's been completely out of her depth here.

There were things I liked about Eureka and things I liked less and possibly I could have a rational conversation about them at some point, oh, a few years down the road, when I've gotten over JO ON A HORSE

[entwashian]

I KNOW, RIGHT?!?!

I LOVED that they did the slo-mo hero shot as she came up at the end, but she didn't romantically meet anyone's eyes as they came out of the shuttle! That was a bit of a bummer.

Oh, I also loved the random little bit that Allison wasn't comfortable/skilled at horseback riding. Because even though she is crazy competent herself, why would she know how to ride a horse?

[shinealightonme]

To which I say, JO ON A HORSE

why would she know how to ride a horse?

Because *all* girls love horses, silly! (That is half sarcasm and half "Oh my God, horse camp is going to be the death of me, and I'm not even through the first week" induced mania.)

I don't know, I've never really been sure how I feel about Allison, and I'm still kind of "meh" about her in this episode. But the horseback riding was a nice little aside (minus Carter offering to rub her butt, that was just aaaaaaaawkward, no.)

...(dude I am messing up ALL the html tags lately. Whut.)

[entwashian]

"So there they were, 3 brown horses! And I thought, 'Well, there are three of us, if I ever find Carter & the lady.' Hello, lady!"

[everythingshiny]

i don't mind pete. i think he's still my least favourite character after everyone and myka's glasses (unf)

[entwashian]

Lol, I am torn between Pete & Claudia the Perpetually Special. But they both baaaarely beat out HG.

This show. ::facepalm::

[everythingshiny]

lol i watch because its on when everything else is not. it doesn't really make the cut otherwise. although tv these days just ain't like it used to be ;D

*shakes fist* at kids on my lawn

[entwashian]

Lol, I wish Jane Espenson had stayed on writing this show!

I am looking forward to Aaron Ashmore, though!
