(no subject)

It seems like my flist is being eaten starting with its bottom by the Black Donnellys! I am saddened, because I feel no desire to read Donnellys fic. I didn't even like the second episode, and at this time don't plan on even continuing to watch. There's something about the whole concept that just bothers me - I like my brothers doing good things but being isolated from the world by it (see: Winchesters, MacManuses), not going around killing people :-/ Y'all are going to be coming back to Sam and Dean as we head into the awesome back end of the season, right? Right? *big eyes*

Speaking of Sam and Dean - THE DIRECTOR'S CUTS!! I just... I have no words, people. None words. I love our boys SO MUCH and next week is going to be FUN and AWESOME \o/ Yay!

Um. That's all! *scampers off*

Sorry you're not enjoying the Donnellys, dollface. :\ However! The recent slew of Donnellys fic may be just because yesterday was St. Patrick's Day. Yanno? No worries. Everyone still loves those darned Winchester boys.

I'm sorry too! It makes me sad in the face. That might be the case, but I know there's a lot of people on my flist loving it. I just don't feel it :( Ah well. I'll just be over here playing with my Atlanteans! :P

(I still can't bring myself to get rid of this icon though. Pretty!)

I'm right there with you on The Black Donnellys. I watched the third episode just today, and I kept having to pause it and talk in gtalk while I watched, because it was just so boring and I just ... there was no caaring in me whatsoever. I'm so dumping the show.

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-18 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Boring wasn't how I was thinking of it - more overly bloody and depressing without any redeeming factors. And none of the characters drew me in. I'm glad to hear I'm not alone - not that I want the show to fail, but I was worried something was wrong with me! ^_^

I'm right there with you, baby. It seems like everyone's being eaten alive by it, and I'm just sitting there all "...and what's so great about it?" :| Plus, I don't find any of the characters attractive, so, eh. I'm shallow, lol.

And nothing is better than Winchesters. I'll be blabbing about them long after the Black Donnellys of the world. :D *hugs tight*

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-18 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, good! I'm glad I'm not alone! I was worried my fangirlishness was failing me or something. It's just really... dark and graphic without there being a point, to me.

And hey, me too! The way Tommy talks just bothers me :-/ I thought Sean was reeeeally adorable, but then he went and got his face all bashed up >.<

*huggles lots* Yay Winchesters! *twirls in circles* And hey, I should be picking up my Farscape DVDs from the mail room tomorrow, YAY!

[identity profile] keepaofthecheez.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I kind of feel like I'm missing some obvious thing or whatever...but, eh. I'm not really into brothercest outside of Sam and Dean anyway though, so I guess I'm not too surprised I don't get off on it. Nothing about it interests me, which sucks because I love the idea of it. It's just not executed well, IMO.

YES. The way Tommy talks drives me nuts, too! AHAHAHA I thought I was all alone! *hugs you*

And YAY Farscape! omg I'm so excited for you! \o/

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
The funny thing is that I am ALL OVER the brothercest. Even the brother-sister cest! *facepalm* Connor and Murphy make me squirm and squee, and I see all KINDS of subtext in Simon and River, though their love is mostly pure. But yeah. I was SO EXCITED for a show about four brothers, Linds. Four IRISH brothers. And then... meh. *sadface*

HEE! He like... doesn't talk clearly! If I was talking to him I'd be worried about getting spit on! haha. Oh I heart you baby *smooshes*

I'm all asquiggle with anticipation :D Although I think the second set is still on back order - no idea when I'm going to get it! *angst and woe*

Plus, I don't find any of the characters attractive, so, eh. I'm shallow, lol.

Hee. That's totally my problem too! I like the show fine, but I don't want to read about weird looking guys doing the do, y'know? I think I pretty much reserve my incest love for Winchesters anyway.

[identity profile] weasleytook.livejournal.com 2007-03-18 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
You're totally not alone. I was soooooooo bored by The Black Donnellys and can't figure out why some people are going all apeshit crazy over it.

Give me my Winchester boys ANY day over that. :D

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-18 11:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Winchesters FTW! \o/

Not that I want it to be a competition. But I was SO EXCITED by a show about four Irish brothers. I'm really disappointed by what it turned out to be :(

Hi dahlin *waves*

Glad you made it back to school safe & sound.

I'm watching TheBDs but have no fear my world is all about Sam & Dean.

And the Director's Cuts - they are just too precious for this world *g*

*big hugs*

p.s. - Love the wrestling icon - may I use?
p.s.s - I bought Fall Out Boy today so review coming soonish....

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
Hi sweetie!

I'm glad to hear that :D I don't think people are forgetting our darling Winchesters, but I do feel like I've somehow missed a really exciting boat. Oh well! Most of you have missed the John and Rodney (Stargate Atlantis) boat - more's the shame! I guess we all don't have time to watch all the TV in the world *g*

TOO precious, omg. Rock paper scissors! ♥!!! :D

Of course! The icon was made by [livejournal.com profile] oxoniensis :D

Hee, yay! I hope you enjoy it!

[identity profile] alazysod.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
I didn't finish watching the pilot. Bored the hell out of me. *shrugs*

Also – the director's cuts. EEEEEE! It's going to be SO much fun.

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
SO MUCH FUN. And also - REALLY HOT. This is the episode that kills fandom, I predict. *beams*

The sad thing is I enjoyed the pilot way back when - like, four months ago. I really did. But I dunno. Nothing, now *shrugs too*

[identity profile] alazysod.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
TOTALLY. I read what Sera Gamble said about the pitch for a certain scene, and omg. I cannot wait.

I think it was partly the high expectations that ruined The Black Donnellys for me. And I'm so unhappy that I didn't like it. The eye candy, the family dynamic…and Kirk Acevedo. Man, I have such a thing for him.

[identity profile] theaeblackthorn.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 12:33 am (UTC)(link)
See, I was mildly bored in the beginning, but omg it ate me. mainly because tommy just kidna rules, and I love joey icecream and the way it's told, etc, etc.

But yeah, it was mainly the complete violence, to fuck ups, the backstabbing, to horribly tender moments and to the whole, 'oh, didn't I mention that before?' story telling.

So much love.

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
And you just listed out every reason I DON'T like it! I hate not being able to trust the canon because of an unreliable narrator, and I don't like Tommy. And the violence is way too much, in a not fun way. Meh.

[identity profile] quietdiscerning.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
oh honey. i do know how you feel. when it felt like EVERYONE and their gay brother was jumping on the 'lets sex mayhem up with both boys but not the boys together,' i felt very lonely. it will pass! no one leaves out boys for long. or at all really!

i havent seen the Directors Cuts but i am SO excited for this episode all the same. WEE BOYS!

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
I know it will pass! I'm just sad that i missed a big fandom boat.

See, I don't even find your icon hot. Tommy is overly muscled, and not in the sexy Jared Padalecki way. *scrunches nose*

YAY BOYS! *beams* Thursday's going to KILL US :D

[identity profile] quietdiscerning.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
we shall just agree to disagree on this one honey. :D!

BUT OMG IS IT THURS YET???

when it felt like EVERYONE and their gay brother was jumping on the 'lets sex mayhem up with both boys but not the boys together,' i felt very lonely.

SO WRONG. Although Mayhem is totally in love with Jared, for serious.

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 12:41 am (UTC)(link)
EW MAYHEM. Get him away from my boys! *flails*

[identity profile] keepaofthecheez.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 12:42 am (UTC)(link)
AGREED. Well, I actually LIKE Chad...but um, not with Jensen or Jared. That's because I am smaht. HA.

[identity profile] quietdiscerning.livejournal.com 2007-03-20 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
WRONG INDEED. you should have HEARD me whining to erin like it was the end of the world. i would go, WHERE IS ALL THE J2 porn and why is this SCUZZY thing here????

i was sadfaced forEVER.

I'm in the same boat on BD. I tried watching some of it since everyone's been all, "OMG BROTHER ANGST \o/" but I do not like the whole outlaw aspect of it. Or I guess I should say, outlaw-with-little-remorse. I'm sticking to the Ghostbusters, thankyouverymuch.

That said, *DEBATES WHETHER OR NOT TO WATCH THE DIRECTOR'S CUTS*
I hate spoiling myself but omggggggggggg *needs*

[identity profile] exsequar.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 01:45 am (UTC)(link)
YES. The no remorse thing is totally throwing me. I mean, Tommy is doing some really truly hideous things, aaaand... he doesn't seem to care. Sure he's doing it for his brother, but I can't bring myself to care about THAT because his brother (Jimmy) is an idiot. *hands* Whatevs.

HEE!! Well I would say watch the second one. It gives away nothing about the plot, and is ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS. Oh my god, BOYS. *HEARTS FOREVER*

[identity profile] crystal-lily.livejournal.com 2007-03-19 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know if I'm willing to give up on it just yet, but I can't say I'm that excited over this show. I've watched the first two episodes, which were very good, but then I got stuck... I started watching the web episode (lol, I think it was called 1x2.5 or something) and stopped watching it halfway. I never do that. I have the third episode on my computer over a week and didn't try to watch it yet. I don't know what I think of this show yet. *shruggs*

But OMG, brothercest has taken over my brain. I'm terrible. :D

Yeah, I'm behind the times.

[identity profile] acidquill.livejournal.com 2007-03-21 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I watched the first ep & was like 'Okay, I can watch this...I guess.' But by the second ep - *snores*

& there's no way I'm gonna let Irish boys distract me from WINCHESTERS. Who, we all know, would kick all manner of Donnelly ass. ;) Hmmm. Maybe I should write that, heh.
