3rd Rock From the Sun

While exploring JGL's filmography, I came across 3rd Rock From the Sun, the sitcom in which he stared in the years 1996-2001. I've always caught just an ep here or there when it was on TV, so I downloaded the first few eps - and fell hard for it. Tommy and his deadpan humor, him being an old man in a young body, are the best! I loved the scene in which he and Sally "killed" the green jello, thinking it was an alien life form. Or when Sally complained about being a woman and why did she have to be a woman and they all told her "Because you lost!" LOL.

And that lead me to ordering the first 3 seasons on DVD from Amazon DE, go me XP

I really loved what JGL and John Lithgow said about his young self from back then: source.

JGL: "[I was] a sort of serious little dude -- snobby," he says. At risk of becoming a "hopeless ivory-tower douchebag." According to the new article, that's all changed and Gordon-Levitt is having more fun as an adult.

John Lithgow: "He was a very mature boy. I remember him carrying on about the ecological damage that is done when people build new golf courses. What teenager worries about that? And now he's a very youthful adult. He's done a flip-flop."

That's actually really sweet. I'm glad that he escaped the douche trap and became a great human being. I think that being a kid in Hollywood is really demanding, everybody has this huge expectations that they lay on you. I think it's great that he made it as an adult, that he now can be who he wants to be and not what others want him to be.

Season 9 & 10

So, apparently, Jared and Jensen agreed to come back for seasons 9 & 10 should the CW pick the show up after the upcoming season is finished: source.

I'm glad because it will make SPN one of the longest running American horror/sci-fi/fantasy shows out there together with Smallville and Stargate SG-1. I still love it but I'm no longer obsessed with it. I'm in the comfortable stage where, should it get canceled, it wouldn't break my heart - the way SGA's cancellation did! - and I would be able to look back at the awesomeness that was SPN with much fondness. I prefer it that way. I prefer to fall out of obsession with a show before it's canceled, the alternative is just way too upsetting.

So, right now, I'm looking forward to S8 without really wringing my hands and tearing my hair out over some of the spoilers. I won't obsess about its ratings anymore and just enjoy it.

Podfic rec: Inception

"Call and Answer" by airgiodslv, read by anatsuno | AU | Arthur/Eames | “Call if you need me,” Arthur says, “and I’ll come.” | 2hr. 43min.

Arthur drags him up and rolls them over, his hips sliding between Eames’ thighs, which have parted for him already. “You have to stop,” he repeats, his mouth hot over Eames’ throat and his hands digging dream-vivid bruises onto Eames’ hips. “Because I can’t.”

Ha, I so didn't expect THAT twist! O.o

Grimm 113-115

Decided to finally catch up on Grimm. Yeah, I'm WAY behind on this show, obviously.
