don't be dull, be fannish

Brooklyn Nine-Nine 206: Fantastic last scene. Made me LOL so hard!

NCIS:LA 607: Great talk between Hetty and Nell. Meagan Tandy and Tamlyn Tomita!

NCIS 1207: Great last scene. I really love Bishop.

NCIS: NO 107: Again, great last scene. I love the black disabled hacker!

I unfollowed half of the Twitter accounts in my feed and decided to keep only the entertainment news ones, a few friends and a handful of celebrities whose tweets make me smile, like Linden Ashby's or Hugh Laurie's. I mostly use Twitter for one reason and one reason only: to get info on my favorite shows or movies. And to rant. That's it.

On the TV front?

The latest Agents of SHIELD was pretty cool, especially Simmons' fangirling over ( spoilers! ) That was sweet. Though the next ep will be rough what with ( spoilers! ) But I really adored when Fitz admired ( spoilers! )

Brooklyn Nine-Nine was funny but it pushed my embarrassment buttons a bit too much this week. But I adored that ( spoilers! )

Constantine was... passable. I'll continue watching it but the premiere really didn't bowl me over.

But The Flash did! Gosh, I'm in love with the show. Grant Gustin... wow, just... wow! I adore that everyone is so protective of Barry, literally everyone! Though, what's really creepy is ( spoilers! ) So, SO GOOD!

Another thing: I started craving Stalia again so I've been watching many, many Stalia vids on YT.

I also read two of Josh Lanyon's books, that's why I've been so absent these last few days. I was curled up in a bed, reading. Gosh, "The Boy with the Painful Tattoo" and "The Haunted Heart: Winter" were SO GOOD!

One book I had to drop, though, and that was "Mélusine" by Sarah Monette. Rape, more rape, sexual violence, mind games, suffering on top of suffering... It was rec'd to me because I liked Lynn Flewelling's books but those two authors and their books are like apples and celery!

This show is strangely addictive. You don't think you'll like it all that much and then you start watching and just CAN'T STOP!

What I like best about B99 are the serious scenes. There aren't many but when they drop the jokes and actually get serious about their jobs, when they catch bad guys, it's really powerful because usually, they are such goofs. Especially Peralta is actually an amazing detective.

Speaking of Peralta, yeah, he's childish but when he screws up, he owns up to it, he admits that he made a mistake and why he did it, it's not just an empty apology. And he's a great friend, especially to Charles.

I also love Cpt. Holt and his inscrutable expression and Terry Crews, the huge, muscly, mean looking Terry Crews, as the fussy Sarge.

All I can say is, that this is one of the best sitcoms out there these days.

Here's the synopsis of Sherlock, ep 302, The Sign of Three: link. It sounds hilarious!

There's a new Terminator show int he works: link. Interesting. I didn't like The Sarah Connor Chronicles, mostly because I found the actor playing John annoying and I really, really, really don't like Summer Glau as an actress.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a pretty funny show! But the highlight of the Xmas episode was definitely ( spoilers! )

I finally understood what people meant when they said that, following episode 106, Agents of SHIELD gets really good. Because it really does. The Thor follow-up episode was especially great, it made me care about Ward, for the first time I actually liked him, he stopped being just a mechanical Ken doll. I could say, this, THIS is what I've been missing! And I really love ( spoilers ) And FitzSimmons! They are awesome! Fitz was incredible in 107! And Coulson... How DID he survive? I love the mystery!

So, both thumbs up from me. Even if you didn't like the premiere or the few eps that followed, stick with it, friends. It does get good and the team finally CLICKS!

#2 Brooklyn Nine-Nine



LOL! Best scene of the show so far. "Are you trying to jam pigeons into my air conditioning vent to flush me out of my office?" Man, I watched it so many times, even showed it to my mom and interpreted it for her. We LOL'd ourselves silly. Peralta and the captain are a hoot together, always making each other's life miserable. Best characters on the show.
