How sweet it is

1) Sweet Charity bidding has officially begun! I've offered to write fic, which you can bid on here (I'm listed as Zhailei, at the bottom of the page), or check out some of the other awesome goodies offered. For more details about what I'm offering, or if you have any questions, see here.

Unfortunately, I've already been outbid for the things I wanted, but maybe I'll get lucky and find something I can still afford. (If I'm being completely honest, I can't really afford to bid on anything, but it's for charity.)

2) Belated episode reactions for last week:


Grey's Anatomy: 5-1 Dream A Little Dream Of Me

"I adore you, by the way." She took a while to grow on me, but I adore Lexie - I think [livejournal.com profile] pirateygoodness's enthusiasm must be infectious. Reading the letter - "It's not me, it's the ... I'm just going to read," and arguing with Sloan, and "what if he doesn't like me back?" She is so cute I just want to pet her.

Alex/Izzie! I loved them in this episode - him giving her a blanket when they're outside, and them being generally adorable together, and, MY SHIP! And then they go and bring Denny in at the end, and the broke me. I shipped Alex/Izzie first, but I will never love them as much as I love Denny/Izzie, and, okay, I cried. Dammit! Why does Jeffrey Dean Morgan have to be dead all the time?

Kevin McKidd! I had two thoughts before he even opened his mouth. The first was yum; the second was that I totally ship him with Cristina. And, yay, because they were awesome together. When he stapled his leg, she was so completely turned on. As you should be. Please tell me he's going to be in more episodes, because I already adore them together.

Erica was totally adorable trying to improve her teaching method, and hopefully she and Callie are over their big gay freakout and they can just have lots of sex now. Also, I loved the exchange between Izzie and Bailey when they were standing outside - "You and God are good with that?" "Damn, I forgot about God." ♥


Smallville: 8-2 Plastique

I didn't love this episode nearly as much as the season premiere. I still don't like Tess, I still don't know (or particularly care) what's going on with Chloe, and I missed Oliver. I was very excited to finally see Crashdown Davis; not so excited about him and Chloe. Also, while I appreciate that they're taking the show in a new, Superman-ish direction this season: last week's blatant hints and in-jokes were cute - sort of an announcement of their intentions. This week, they mostly felt forced and over the top (although I did love Clark changing in the phone booth, and Lois' complete lack of concern about personal boundaries). Anyway, I'm still excited about the new season.


Stargate Atlantis: 5-10 First Contact

This episode was almost everything I said I wanted last week - throw in some more Teyla scenes and maybe an appearance by Lorne, and it would have been perfect. Ronon was adorable around Keller, and while I still don't really care about the whole love triangle thing, I do like Ronon/Keller. I was glad to see Woolsey again, and Caldwell, and Zelenka, and I even liked the new mech-aliens. And, Daniel! I'd love to see him interacting with people other than Rodney, but their scenes were very enjoyable. Definitely one of my favourite episodes of the season.


3) Finished watching Burn Notice, and I'm totally in love. I can't wait for it to come back!

4) Yes, I have started watching Prison Break. I'm still on season one (also known as the non-crack, non-Mahone season), but I'm really liking it so far. YES, I HAVE BEEN SUCKED INTO THE FANDOM. I have absolutely no willpower, okay?

Lexie is seriously adorable ♥. I loved Erica and Callie in the season finale, but it kind of felt like backtracking in the premiere - like, "Oh, they're gay now, and we totally forgot to make them angst about it! Let's fix that!" And it took me a while to like Erica, because I really didn't in the beginning, but I think she and Callie are really cute together when they're just allowed to be.
