Don't forget me, I beg
Nov. 16th, 2011 08:53 pmI have so, so many issues with Glee but then it gives me this and I just... this is why I can't stay away.
I heard it first before I saw it but it is so much more powerful watching it, watching Naya acting her heart out as Santana. Santana, who must feel like the rug was pulled out from under her feet then Mercedes, glancing at Santana for a brief moment before continuing on.
Especially the moments when Brittany and Santana's eyes meet... and then Santana belts out: 'Don't forget me, I beg.' and I get chills.
The choreography is so on point and snappy and yet there are moments when Santana is a little off beat, more tellingly, Brittany is a little off beat (you can tell this was deliberate since Heather Morris is a professional dancer and a beast on the dance floor) which are lovely character moments.
To think Naya Rivera started out as a background character whose only job requirement was to look pretty! Now, I have to say she's usurped Dianna Agron, who was originally the lead Cheerio. I want to kiss whoever casted Naya and thank them. Who knew she'd be such a triple threat powerhouse?
I will be so sad when Troubletones disbands (and you know they will because no matter how awesome Troubletones is and competent they will somehow lose over New Directions) because now we can hear more from Mercedes Jones (Amber Riley), although I wish they brought Tina with them because Jenna Ushkowitz is so underutilized in the show:(.
I need a Santana icon!
(Um. Apparently, I brought my Tumblr tagging system in DW/LJ! Oops!)
Once Upon A Time 1x03 - Snow Falls
Nov. 9th, 2011 07:05 pmI mean, kick ass Robin Hood Snow White! How could it have a C-???
( She's gonna kill me and then you and then *me* again )
( Why would I kill you? You're the only friend I have. )
Also, maybe Regina should have made herself into an awesome apple farmer instead of mayor. She seems happier with her apples and seems genuinely miffed that no one would eat her apples! She tended the apples since she was a child! Her apples are awesome, why won't anyone eat them?!
RIP Steve Jobs :(

Doctor Who finale was uneven for me it only started picking up when the Ponds got involved. Here are the highlights:
( So where are we? )
Mental Blocks
Oct. 2nd, 2011 03:01 amWriting a Fringe/Bones crossover is getting harder and harder to do, Fringe has changed so much from season 1 to season 4 I don't know how to reconcile or justify writing the crossover anymore. I mean I want season 1 Fringe with season 3/4 Bones but personally I can't seem to just write season 1 Olivia knowing what I know about Olivia now.
Actually just writing a gen Fringe casefic is getting harder for me to do. This ties in to wanting to read and write a gen case fic in the vein of the X-Files case fics of yore but I can't seem to. It's more of a mental block though.
And, um, this is going to come off as character bashing but this is just me trying to articulate part of the reasons why I can't get into it. Part of it and that biggest block?
( Under the cut is a meandering post about the one thing that doesn't work for me in Fringe, it's just something I need to express. )
These thoughts aren't exactly new but a more recent rehash of the post I did in the past, for which I was so thoroughly trolled. That was a novel experience.

Oct. 1st, 2011 07:21 pmApparently there will be Agent Coulson mini movies in the DVD!
Guys, I don't think I can ever articulate how much I love Agent Coulson. It crept up on me that's for sure because aside from seeing the Avengers assemble I am actually looking forward to more Agent Coulson!
Seriously, he just wants to save the day without any drama. Why do superheroes (read: Tony Stark) have to be so dramatic about everything?
Basically, run
Sep. 29th, 2011 06:52 pmOh, I like this! I've been side-eyeing Playboy Club and all the things they're trying to sell about the show but this one I really like!
I hope someone retires like Mad Men only with planes because it doesn't even have the sense of it. It's set in the past but I feel its more of a fun escapist show with a lot of female characters who are in it for the Adventure and world travel.
Also, there are spies and cold war shenanigans and I'm perfectly fine accepting Pan Am for what it is, fun!
Revenge
For the truly wronged, real satisfaction can only be found in one of two places: absolute forgiveness or mortal vindication. This is not a story about forgiveness.
Guys, you are all fired for not telling me a gender flipped version of The Count of Monte Cristo was in the works!
So far I'm enjoying more than Ringer! Sorry, SMG. Although I will catch-up to your show too!

Eleventh Doctor's defining moment. Or, at least it is for me, see if my brother showed me this clip the first time I think I would have immediately started watching Eleven's run as the Doctor but y'know I do like that it was River who brought me back.
But the part where Eleven walks through Ten's image and then suddenly it clicks in your head, he is the Doctor.
Basically, Run.
And look what I found!
Seventh Doctor defends the Pandorica!
Sylvester McCoy does a reading of this scene during the DragonCon 2011 and a fan edits it down to remove the audience clapping and added in the music:
Boy, now I see the similarities between Eleventy and Seven, I know a few people compared Ten with Seven but I think this is a far more apt comparison. Also, here's Matt Smith's Eleven doing the same speech:
