Gina Carano in FF6?

According to this site - link - Gina Carano is in talks to join the cast of Fast&Furious 6, possibly as a member of Hobbs' team.



Awesome! I think it's really fantastic that there's another kick-ass actress out there who can actually kick ass - what with Gina Carano being a mixed martial artist - and play a cop/agent/robber/killer convincingly. I love actresses who can play bad-ass women and not just wear high heels and look pretty. Sure, a strong woman does not have to be literally physically strong, smart is really sexy and bad-ass too, but there's just something awesome about watching a woman be a real bad-ass! Salt or Colombiana wouldn't have been half as good if Jolie and Saldana respectively didn't rip the bad guys a new one on a purely physical level!

30 Days Couple Challenge - #3

Day 3: Your OTP


Art by sadynax

Sherlock Holmes and John Watson in any incarnation available. I know that some people love to ship Sherlock with Lestrade or John with Mycroft or Lestrade, but not me, I just don't see it. For me, it's either Holmes/Watson or gen! (Or Mycroft/Lestrade, an awesome pairing that does not break up my OTP but makes the Sherlock universe richer!).

Okay, this is not challenge related, but it's about Sherlock and I need to rant, so bear with me.

I've come across several people who hated Sherlock because "Sherlock's mean to his friends" and "John's his doormat." My reaction to that nonsense? --> O_o

First, Sherlock Holmes has always been mean to his friends. I don't know if said people actually read the books or if they have some romanticized idea of who Sherlock Holmes is but Sherlock Holmes has always been an arrogant peacock. He always talked about Lestrade and his flock with disdain and he always considered Watson's observation skills lacking and had no qualms to tell him so - read "The Solitary Cyclist" if you don't believe me. So, to say that Sherlock is OOC because he's mean is bullcrap!

Second, John a doormat? The same John who shot a man point blank and told Sherlock he was an idiot and took on Moriarty while covered in explosives? John who's the only man who can actually reign in Sherlock with just a word, to whom Sherlock turns to find out if something's "a bit not good?" I wonder what said people thought of the previous incarnations of John Watson, then - with the exception of Jude Law's portrayal, John Watson has always been there to admire the genius of Sherlock Holmes. Only lately, in the RDJ movies and in Sherlock, does John Watson actually have balls!

Sometimes I wonder, if I and said people actually watched the same series. Pardon my colorful language but I really needed to get that nonsense off my chest!

O.o

I can't believe that they went there with House! I mean, I've been waiting for an arc like that for 8 years but... With only 4 episodes to go, this being the last season, I can't see this having a happy ending, I just can't. Can you?

The promo for next week's ep looks fantastic, it really does - link - but I'm actually afraid to watch it. I think I'll wait for the series finale to air. I need to know how this arc ends before I watch it. I hate to walk into an unhappy ending unprepared... :(

Of annoying Cuddy!fans

Since the execs announced that the last few episodes of House would be House and Wilson centric...



... and that Cuddy wouldn't return for the finale, Cuddy and "Huddy" - I really hate the stupid names fans give to pairings! - fans upped their hate and venom spewing to a scary degree! They troll the comment section of every article, they ridicule the actors, characters and storylines in an attempt to ruin everybody's fun.

And I'm starting to get really angry! The last straw were the comments to this article - link (SPOILERS!) - where people literally made fun of last night's reveal. That's not just trolling, it's sick, because, yes, it's so hilarious to make fun of ( spoilers! )

Cuddy and "Huddy" fans need to BACK THE FUCK OFF right now! Lisa Edelstein wasn't fired, she decided to leave of her own volition. She didn't want to take a pay-cut, so she left! And she didn't bother to tell the writers until after the season finale aired - compare that to Melina Kanakaredes and her exit from CSI:NY, that's what I call classy! As the writers said, if she had told them earlier, they would've given Cuddy a better exit.

Which brings me to Cuddy!fans' whining about her not being in the finale. And why SHOULD she be? There is no reason, her ending was abrupt - LE's fault, not the writers'! - but definite. No loose threads hanging - and boy, did I step into a pile of crap when I dared to say that out loud.

Because Cuddy is, according to the obsessive fans, a poor victim of domestic abuse and deserved the opportunity to kick House in the balls one last time - paraphrasing here. Her story didn't end yet. Robert Sean Leonard is a dick for daring to say frankly that there was no reason to bring her back! The domestic abuse was poorly handled and unrealistic! And so on and on!

Cue me foaming at the mouth! And my rather scathing response! NOBODY says that she wasn't the victim. But! House went to prison for what he had done! Cuddy got a restraining order! She moved away and built a new life for herself! What more DO the fans want? Tearful apologies? From HOUSE?! And! The fact that the domestic abuse had a poor ending was, once more, LE's own fault! As the writers said, they had more planned, a reconciliation of a sort between them. No, they wouldn't have become a couple again, ever, no matter what desperate "Huddy" fans want. The execs said it out loud, House would NOT have ended up with Cuddy no matter what - which makes seasons 6 & 7 even more pointless but that's another kettle of fish entirely - but there would've been more. But LE's exit left the writers with a half-finished story. Yet, according to rabid Cuddy and LE fans, it's all the writers' fault.

Sheesh on a pogo stick! You don't like it? Then don't watch it! And let others enjoy it in peace. Is it really such a baffling concept?!

ETA: Just to clarify - what people write in their own blogs is their thing entirely. There they can hate on anybody they want. But when they troll articles, that's when I get really mad!
