reactions and thoughts
Jul. 17th, 2011 10:42 amI've been catching on my TV The Good Wife and Haven in particular. I've just started with Haven and I can't wait to get to the good parts. The show is like a mash-up between The X-files and Eureka.
The Good Wife - Season 2
This show is just amazing. Amazingly well written and nuanced and nothing is exactly black or white. I loved watching the Campaign shenanigans because any scene with Eli is, excuse the pun, gold. But of course its the relationships in the show that are stellar.
I love that the focus of the last half of the season is about Kalinda and Alicia, these two women who were so different initially and then building on a friendship that's just so fantastic. Then there's the second favorite relationship on the show: Will and Diane. I love their partnership and friendship. I love it when they band together because they work so damn well together.
Honestly, more than the 'will they, won't they' of Alicia and Will my investment is solely on Will and Diane's partnership:

And, my secret wish is that Alicia and Cary can reconcile and be the next generation's Will and Diane with Kalinda as their awesome head investigator.

But I'm so, so happy The Good Wife casts were nominated, especially Kyle and Connie from Friday Night Lights! Finally! After all these years!

Also saw X-Men: First Class, I think it's a grand step out of the disaster that was X3 but I came away from the movie with a different opinion from fandom... and I hope I don't get roasted for this but I didn't really find Charles and Erik's friendship/relationship all that interesting. I prefer their relationship more when they are much older and there are legitimate hurts in both sides but what I really found interesting and surprising was Raven/Mystique and Moira.
( spoilers and thoughts on Mystique )

Harry Potter: Deathly Hallows, Part 2
Still can't process it except to say it was epic and a fantastic end for an equally fantastic series.

DIANE: We’re the perfect couple.
WILL: Everything but the sex.
