I have to make a reaction post, because this is the first time in a long time Supernatural has left me with hearts in my eyes. Episode 18, "Point of No Return", for future reference!
( 100 episodes of epic manpain )
(Maureen Ryan expressed everything I'm feeling with a lot more eloquence than I, so everyone should go read her post, because it makes a lot of good points.)
And since this is 100 EPISODES, I think I have to say something - so, Supernatural. Hi. We're old, old friends. I have had a more intense relationship with you than with most people in my life. You have made me believe in the power of love; you have ripped out my heart and stomped on it (IN THE BEST WAY); you have made me laugh til I peed myself; and you have betrayed me, many times over. You have veered from what made me love you in the first place, and I can't count the number of times I've said "Supernatural, I wish I knew how to quit you." But I didn't quit you, because you were such a core part of my life for TWO YEARS. You are by no means perfect, and I will never stop thinking of My Show as seasons 1 and 2, something entirely separate. But they were exquisite. And so are Jared and Jensen. Sam and Dean. Everything else aside, you have been pretty important to me. So a tip of the hat to you, Supernatural. I love you, even when you kind of suck.

dailybtvs. The comm runner is currently on a S2 kick and it's just a marvelous burst of nostalgia every day. They were so YOUNG and DARLING. <3333
I've got the songs from last night's Glee, if anyone wants them! (Well, the ones I wanted to purchase - aka, not Finn's songs, sorry). I'm a little bummed that the show didn't exploit the concept a little more (say, by having Puck and Mercedes sing together, UM DEAD BY AWESOME UNFFF) but there's lots of Lea and Matthew showing off their pipes. There's also the last song from Wheels in there.
Ballads!
I popped by the Fox website for Glee by accident (trying to get to the IMDB page) and I spotted a blurb on the side that said "Lea, Cory, and Mercedes talk about Glee..." and I was like UM WHAT?! DO YOU MEAN AMBER????? JFC! Metric fuckton of fail there, Fox! *facepalm*
I hear there's a show about, idk, demon hunting on tonight, or something? (I'M SO EXCITED!!!!)
I've been slowly working my way through Freaks & Geeks, and I saw the episode Looks and Books last night. IT WAS SO GOOD!!! Probably my favorite one so far. I love the crises of confidence that both Lindsay and Sam go through, and I love their mini-journeys to find who they really should be - which is exactly who they were at the beginning of the episode, just confident and content with it. Lindsay's reunion with the burnouts was so sweet. While Nick is an adorable bumbler and I heart him, I think Daniel is my favorite - he just has these moments of exquisite vulnerability, and you can really see the genius of James Franco percolating within that rebellious, devil-may-care exterior. He's amazing.
I really like Kris Allen's album! It's charming, easy listening, and I'm fond. But I CAN'T WAIT to have my hands on Adam's album so I can listen to it over and over. IT'S SO SPARKLY. I AM DAZZLED.
But do you know what I'm REALLY stoked for?! THOSE CHEMICAL ROMANTICS! OMGGGGG. The AP cover is hilarious - they all look like they've got Merlin eyes, or something, it's super creepy. But THEY'RE ON A MAGAZINE COVER! OUR BOYS ARE BAAAAAACK! *flails and wriggles* Yaaaaaaay. :DDDD

I am posting instead of studying for an exam. Ain't it always the truth?
Well. I've been studying for most of today, but I don't really feel prepared. That's mostly because this class has been pretty poorly taught, rather unclear and kind of rambling all over the place without pauses to summarize important concepts. It's just drug mechanism after drug mechanism, and somehow we're supposed to pull general principles from that. Blah.
The exam is tomorrow at 1 PM. I only went into lab briefly today after class and came home at 12:30, so one would think that I've gotten loads of studying done! But because there's no problem sets or practice exam, it's nearly impossible to focus my studying. ARGH. I just want this to be over, because then I WILL HAS A![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
candidlily, who is staying with me for the weekend, YAY! And on Saturday we're going to see THE USED and DRIVE A!!!!! with angel726, so I am SUPER STOKED for that. \o/
I've seen a few scarce SPN reaction posts, and from these I REALLY WANT TO SEE THE EPISODE OMG!!!!, but why are so many of you silent?! Sad. I was hoping for you to distract me with your squeeing while I was studying. :(
Some Glee thoughts: I used to be mostly ambivalent about Cory Monteith's voice, but now I'm fully on the side of STOP RUINING LEA MICHELE'S SONGS!!!!! I've had most of the Glee songs on repeat for a couple weeks now, and I love most of them (Take a Bow is still a favorite, as is Somebody to Love and, surprisingly, the Halo mashup), but it's gotten to the point where I cringe every time Finn cuts in to Rachel's triumphant, crystal clear warbling. Particularly on Somebody to Love and No Air. Why can't they let some of the other guys sing? Artie's got a great voice! And Kurt hasn't even gotten a chance yet, nor has Puck! Sigh. (And on that note, Puck was so charmingly douchey for an ep or two, but now he's basically a backup dancer. Learn to balance your characters, Glee!)
And speaking of characters, Glee is still really... kind of failing, in depth and consistency. Interestingly, the best character growth has been Quinn, in my opinion. She's still underhanded and sneaky, but she also has moments of startling vulnerability, and I find myself adoring her. Which is weird, since the idea of the "virgin cheerleader" was so deeply obnoxiously done in the pilot. But kudos to Dianna for that. Despite all of the fail, though, I find myself getting sucked in - I don't know, it's something about people expressing themselves ~WITH MUSIC~ that just yanks at my heartstrings. I rewatch a lot of the musical numbers... a lot, and subsequently some of the scenes right around them, and like. Idk! The kids obviously have a lot of heart, and it's not THEIR fault the writing is inconsistent and trying to find its comfortable middle ground between TOTALLY WACKY and actual drama. I am warming up to the idea that I might really care about this show eventually, but it's going to take a lot more development to get there. Luckily, with how big a hit it is, it will probably be around for a couple years and will get that chance.
One of the things I am most pleased with is that Rachel has been toned down/modulated, giving me more leeway to unabashedly LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF HER VOICE, oh my GOD. Her voice is like sweet, soothing love being made to my ears. Mmmmmmmmm. She's a great performer too, and while I do love the recording of a song, her physical performance on the show often brings TEARS to my eyes. She's also super stunning in a refreshingly unique way, and basically I ♥ Lea!!
And randomly, I kind of completely adore Brittany, the blonde Cheerio who is not Quinn. I noticed her background dancing from the very beginning - I think she's by far the best dancer of the girls (the contrast with Tina in Single Ladies was, I'm afraid, laughable) and my eyes always seem to be drawn to her. The actress also just seems to be a sweetheart, from the adorable stuff I catch her doing in the background of busy shots or during group numbers. I am particularly charmed by her and Puck holding hands during Somebody to Love. What! I have a totally random girlcrush, idek.
And I really wish Mr Shue would actually let Mercedes sing in a big performance number. She's AMAZING!!! And so spunky. ♥
Looking back at this list, I like that the female characters are the ones that seem strongest and most likeable to me (and this is speaking relatively, since everyone fails pretty hard quite often, if they have lines). That's at least one area I can give the show a sort of thumbs up on! (The massive, glaring exception is Terri and her sister. Can I just say: UGGGGHHHHHHH.)
And randomly: does anyone else find it kind of annoying that the show has ruined the simple word "glee"? I used to use it all the time (e.g., *wriggles with glee!*) but now it feels like people will think I'm making a pun about the show or something, when I'm totally not. SIGH! My life is SO VERY HARD!
Obviously this post HAD to be made. It was so much more important than studying. OBVIOUSLY!
:P

SPN 5x05 Fallen Idols
Oct. 9th, 2009 11:47 pmCorrection! My "SPN" filter is bereft of Supernatural posts, while my BANDOM filter is positively swimming with them! What is this fuckery! I think I have managed to effectively sort my flist into "old school SPN friends", who I've known since the beginning and who are most likely to be at Wincon, and newer friends met through bandom but many of whom also love SPN. I am okay with that! Anywho, let me add my flailing to the pile! :D
( Spoilery and capslocky! )
*haaaaaaappy sigh*
Oh I can love the whole of you
Oct. 2nd, 2009 05:40 pmLast night's Supernatural was UBER AWESOME (and trust me, no one's more surprised than me that I feel that way - yum yum crow, whatever, I still have issues with stuff) but one of my favorite things was this: ( Spoilery spoiler, with large caps. )
I know what I know
Sep. 28th, 2009 11:57 pmOh, TEEVEE. So much of you! I am watching fully seven shows this season, with the addition of Glee to my regular rotation (not without reservations! but it's there), which is far, far more than I've ever watched as they air. Most of my shows are light fluffy stuff, but I'm glad to have things like Dollhouse and Supernatural to balance them out. I can't wait until Friday Night Lights comes back. I want to cry every week!
Anywhoodle. Some thoughts on this week in television before I crash into bed.
But before I get started, I has a new layout!! :D -->exsequar I needed something Dollhouse-y, because after this season premiere I know I'm just gone. And it needed to be Topher. I happened to find a high-def screencap of this moment, which actually snatched my breath away when it first happened. Completely unexpected, and utterly moving. Topher is my most complete favorite, and to have his depth acknowledged in such a quiet, poignant way... yeah. ♥ And I took advantage of some of the gorgeous stylistic touches of the show itself, using the images of the five sleeping pods and the memories whisking away. I'm rather pleased with it! I've also changed up my journal title and what have you, but no one ever notices that stuff anyhow. :)
So here we go! There's space between each review so you don't have to be too worried about spoilers.
( Dollhouse 2x01: A )
( Big Bang Theory 3x01: A- )
( Bones 5x02: B )
( Merlin 2x01 and 2x02: B- and B+ )
( Glee 1x02-1x04: moving towards a B or B+ )
( Supernatural 5x03: C+/A- (Dean-Sam storylines) )
Okay, that is ENOUGH TV rambling! I also watched Castle, and it was mostly status quo, which is to say deeply adorable and wonderful. Now it is 40 minutes past when I promised myself I'd go to bed, so I am GOING! Goodnight! (And please talk to me about TV!!!)
