Book #29

"Fire in the Blood (Vampire Files #5)" by P.N. Elrod

♦ ♦

The worst book in the series yet. Not only was the plot kinda boring, Jack's sudden bad reaction to hypnosis, his woe is me whining, his reluctance to come clean to Escott and the way everybody and their uncle suddenly managed to get the drop on him made me actually dislike him a bit and that has never happened before. Jack is quite a likable, sweet guy so this... this was a real shock. The most interesting part was the introduction of Kyler. I'm curious where that storyline's headed.

Overall, quite a disappointment.

VINDICATED!

New York-set Elementary, due to air on Sky Living this autumn, has gone so far as giving Watson a gender-swap to differentiate itself from the BBC’s Sherlock. Johnny Lee Miller plays Holmes as an ex-pat Brit with a history of drug abuse whose father employs Lucy Liu’s live-in assistant Dr Watson to aid his recovery. Romantic complications, we’re told, ensue. Link.

I BLOODY well told you so! Back then, when Elementary was first announced and it was said that Watson would be a woman, I kept saying that it was just CBS' way to avoid a lawsuit from BBC and introduce UST without the "annoying gay vibes" - and I was bashed and called a women hating misogynist who just didn't see the beauty of this prospect and the forward thinking way of CBS that was all about female empowerment!

Well, bollocks! I told you that your reasoning was flawed! Not even one episode has aired yet and romance is already in the woods for our society compliant male Holmes and female Watson. And as much as I hate it and I wish it was ME who was wrong, at the same time I feel vindicated. Yes, I'm a bad, bad person but it feels so good to be proven right!

Podfic rec: Inception

"All Is Violent, All Is Bright" by sparrow_hubris, read by kansouame | Arthur/Eames | AU | Apocalypse AU. Arthur learns how to survive ... with Eames. | 3hr. 13min.

The first time Arthur wakes from the nightmares he doesn’t know where he is or what’s going on. He’s thrashing, tangled in the folds of his blankets and clawing at anything he can grab. He’s trying to get away from something and when he finally comes to, Eames is next to him with scratches on his arms, and a look of sheer terror on his face that makes Arthur’s already racing heart skip a beat. Eames never looks scared like this.

Lovely, lovely story. I just wanted to pet Arthur, the poor thing. And a wonderful podfic by kansouame. You rock, girl!
