katikatThe book I'm translating now is really pissing me off, a very trying piece of work, let me tell you. It's "The Path of Anger: The Book and The Sword 1" by Antoine Rouaud. I want... I really want to strangle all the characters, either they are blind fools or they're ruled by their genitalia. The last time I got this angry working on a book, it was... either Fiona McIntosh or Sara Douglass, I guess, those were some nightmarish months, two trilogies, 600+ pages per book. This one's luckily only 400+ pages long - and I'm almost at its end, thank the gods above.
The Blacklist just got an early S2 renewal. I still haven't seen more than the first episode though. I have a hard time connecting with the characters. I think I need to be in the proper mood for this show.
But I watched episodes 102-106 of Agents of SHIELD. It's getting slowly better, yet the show remains my biggest disappointment of the season. Because it's good. And it should be excellent. They had everything going for it and yet, the end-result is "only" good. No episode got my heart pumping yet and I ffwd through some of the stuff, mostly Skye related. But either I'm slowly building up my tolerance or they finally started toning down her obnoxiousness. I loved it when she finally got her ass handed to her after she betrayed them. And that they didn't simply forgive her. Even Coulson got mad, really mad at her. Yes, he promised to help her, it didn't make him less angry, though. And I LOVED IT! I feel that Skye and Ward are the weakest links: Skye because of how she's written, Ward because of the actor, the guy simply lacks charisma, mostly he just looks constipated. The FitzSimmons are cute - especially in episode 106! - and Coulson and May are golden.
Which reminds me, I think I will look up some Coulson centric fics. I didn't like him in the movies, he was just the guy who stood around, smiling smugly, and I wanted to punch him. But now that we are getting to know him better, I'm finally starting to find him interesting.
Any tips and recs? Slash, het, gen, whatever...
