Gone daddy gone
My internets are no longer broken. And, thanks to SGA, I now have new fic muses.
Just finished watching SGA episode "Home" (for the second time), and man, do I love that episode.
Other TV thoughts:
I really, really hate the soft focus on Private Practice. If you're going to deliberately create a show exclusively with characters over the age of 35 plus Piz, just do it. Be proud of it. Don't cast a bunch of awesome actors who look great for their age anyway and try to airbrush them into the 1990s (or albinism). Seriously. Also, old Naomi was still way sexier than new Naomi, and I still don't quite buy Piz's huge crush on new Naomi, but I like Audra regardless.
I don't want Hiro to be Kensei. I want Kensei to be Kensei. But, I still haven't watched "Lizards," so I guess we'll see.
And ... FNL. I know people love him and everything, and he's supposed to be endearingly clueless or whatever, but I still don't like Landry. Like, he seriously creeps me out, and gets my warning signals flashing like nobody's business. And I almost liked him in this episode. But then he had to have that phone conversation with Matt about putting his arm around Tyra, and Matt asks him if Tyra even wants him to touch her, and he's all "I'm not asking for relationship advice here" ie. he clearly doesn't care, and ... ick. I really have no problem with Landry and Tyra in theory, but the way it's been presented just doesn't work for me. It's like every time he talks about her, it's clear that he thinks he deserves her, or that he's earned her, and he doesn't seem so much oblivious to the fact that she's not interested in him romantically as he seems to believe that he can "gently push" her into being with him regardless of how she currently feels, and it just seems so wrong to me in a way I'm pretty sure it isn't supposed to - like they've tried to make him a good guy, but instead they've made him a Nice Guy, which is so not the same thing. And I really, really want to like him, but until he stops skeeving me out, I just can't.
Also, I'm reserving judgement on the Very Big Mistake until at least a few episodes in. But there was a really good review of the episode here.
I remain unapologetic about watching both Chuck and Moonlight, and I have no idea why I feel compelled to watch more episodes of Gossip Girl, even though I though the pilot was Not Very Good. Chuck (the character, not the show) makes me seriously uncomfortable, but at least I'm reasonably sure he's supposed to.
