1. Happy birthday to valhalla37! I hope you're having a smashing time and that your next year is full of awesome things, job-wise and everything else-wise, and may it also be filled with Jeremy Davies getting a lead on a good show or appearing in as many places as possible. ♥ and if you have prompts or anything I'll see what I can do

Ha, yes, so far on Person of Interest, I don't want to strangle Michael Emerson. Really, one of my biggest issues with him on Lost was how it became the Ben show. And then, y'know, the Ben and Locke and Jacob and Esau show. Is it wrong that Jim Caviezel is hot even as a homeless guy?

Ringer isn't great but I'm giving it leeway for SMG and Nestor. So far.

I KNOW? The Ben show was my main problem from S3 onward... or well, then it became the Jacob and fake!Locke show and it wasn't the Ben!show either but we get each other. ;) which was a problem because ME is pretty good and I want to enjoy his acting, but on Lost I just couldn't after a certain point. And Jim Caveziel was totally hot even with that beard. Mmmm. I like!

That. I'm more in it for Nestor than for anything else but until I get to see his face I can work with it. Also the Vampire Diaries sucked for six episodes and then it became good, so who knows.

Bones was also terrible at first, fwiw, and then it evolved into a (mostly) fun, enjoyable show with characters I love.

I can't believe Nestor's character, who's supposed to be a smart cookie, didn't peg "Siobhan" as Bridget instantly since she clearly recognized him on that "first" meeting. Or maybe everyone does an exaggerated doubletake when they first meet him. ;) Ah, TV, again, what are you gonna do?

[janie_tangerine]

Good to know! Mostly the point here is how soon they find out that Bridget is Bridget, because if it goes on for another five or six episodes I won't be able to take anyone seriously.

And I know? I was like 'GEEZ DIDN'T YOU RECOGNIZE HER? *FACEPALM*. But yeah maybe he's just adjusted to everyone swooning as soon as his eyelashes are into their line of sight. ;) ;) ;)

[elliotsmelliot]

Which is a pity because the premise is good, but the execution is being... kind of ridiculous

Agreed. But Nestor's eyelashes alone are plot within themselves!

I'm looking forward to Boardwalk Empire too!

[janie_tangerine]

I think that his eyelashes should have a separate contract. ;) ;) oh, so lovely eyelashes in such a lovely face....

I'm so excited! :DD

omg, dave grohl, you are my favorite ♥

[janie_tangerine]

He's awesome. ♥ I can only AGREE.

I hope TOQ stays a while because I had forgotten how good it feels to let yourself like his characters.

Same here! Although my mom said she doesn't trust him and now the seed has been planted in my head and I'm wondering if he's got an ulterior motive, too. But I'm trying to suppress that thought and just be happy he seems legit for the time being. ;)

Alaric waking up half-naked and assuming it was Damon banging on his door was the best thing that ever happened ever.

Ahaha, I thought of you immediately. ;)

HRG IS CAROLINE'S DAD, ASJFSDFJDSLGSGF. MINDFUCK INDEED! ALL OF MY THOUGHTS ARE IN CAPSLOCK.

And of course I second everything about Ringer and Person of Interest. We should be Ringer buddies and make fun of the show together every week. XD (Though hopefully it gets better and we won't have to make fun of it in the first place, lol.)

[janie_tangerine]

Your mom probably has a point but.. I JUST WANT TO LIKE HIS CHARACTERS AGAIN. Also Lost reunion. DID ANYTHING ELSE HAPPEN?

Fff I'm the poster girl for obvious! ;) ;)

I CAN'T - HRG IS CAROLINE'S FATHER IDEK THIS IS LIKE OF STAR WARS DIMENSIONS! XDDD (wherein Caroline is Luke Skywalker obviously. XDDDDDDD)

... if there was any way for me to watch Ringer live I'd SO TOTALLY WATCH IT WITH YOU BECAUSE OMG MOCKING IT IS JUST TOO FUNNY. But yeah hopefully people find out who Bridget really is next week and I can buy that not all of them are completely clueless and it can get good? Hopefully? If not I'll just stare at Nestor's eyelashes and hope that the CW offers him that show where he looks at himself in a mirror for forty minutes, because I think it'd make smashing ratings. ;)

[valhalla37]

Thank you so, so much for the birthday wishes! You're too sweet! :D *hugs*

And oooh, the Boss? I think I knew that, but totally forgot ... my birthday just got a whole lot cooler! ;P

I just got HBO back -- finally -- and I'm kind of debating Boardwalk Empire. Not that I need another hour of television to watch each week, but I keep hearing how great it is ...

[janie_tangerine]

You're welcome! :D and heee yes you share a birthday with the immense. ;) ;)

YESS WATCH IT. It's good! So good! And the acting! It started pretty slow but it picked up mid-season one and it's being pretty amazing. :DD
