don't be dull, be fannish

And now I'm all caught up on NCIS:NOLA, too. Good, good, I feel so accomplished!

I really loved that Baitfish's first choice of how to get to Pride was through LaSalle. Not Brody, not even Loretta, his sweet Loretta, but through LaSalle. And the way Pride's voice broke when he talked about how he could understand if someone went after him personally, but after Christopher... It fit what Cade told Pride, that for LaSalle, Pride was the father he never had. I love that very, very much.

I also love Patton and Sonja and even though I have some concerns about the cast getting too big - I prefer smaller casts that give each person more time to shine - I'm glad that they are both sticking around. I would love to see more of LaSalle and Sonja's friendship, I loved that she called his girlfriend "Mermaid".

And the scene with LaSalle and Brody and the necklace... that was beautiful. I actually hope that they won't start pushing the nonexistent Brody and LaSalle UST because I love them as siblings. He could, well, not replace her sister to her, you can never replace anyone, but he could give her back the sibling feeling.

(If they have to get LaSalle together with anyone on the show, I would prefer Sonja. Or, from the recurring people, with Addie.)

I've been as sick as a dog these past few days. Cold and cough, really ugly stuff. And I still feel under the weather...

( Agents of SHIELD 211 )

( NCIS 1216 )

( NCIS NO 116 )

( NCIS 1211 or I can't believe that this show actually managed to shock me O.o! )

( NCIS: NOLA 111 or is it just me or is the culprit totally obvious? )

Also, I decided to drop Scorpion and move The Flash to my "watch later on on DVD" list.

On Scorpion, I love the team but the cases are boring, I don't like Paige much and I hate all the attention the show's paying to Ralph and his dad by proxy. And all the unnecessary shipping goes on my nerves: Happy and Toby, Sylvester and Walter's sister, Walter and Paige, Paige and her ex... Why? Just... why?!

And The Flash... I'm not as enamored with the show like many others, it seems. It's a good one but also one better watched in big chunks. Because in big chunks, I can dismiss Barry's unhealthy obsession with Iris but week for week? Sorry, I don't find his infatuation endearing but creepy and annoying. He had ALL HIS FRICKIN' LIFE to tell her he loved her, but no. And now that she has a boyfriend he's starting to make an issue out of it? Stop, just... stop, please.

Also, Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I'll watch it once more eps air, marathon it. In these itty bitty pieces, I just don't enjoy it as much. The same goes for The Mentalist.

So, the only shows I WILL keep on watching "live" are: The Originals, NCIS, NCIS: NOLA, Agent Carter/SHIELD, Forever and The Librarians (only 4 eps to go there). Man, I really cut it down, didn't I? O.o But it will give me the time to watch my DVDs. Right now, I'm watching Smallville S8!

Forever 101+102: Suspend your disbelief and just enjoy the funny, that would be my advice. Because the show can be downright hilarious - the cops discovering Henry's sex toy collection, thinking it murder instruments? LOL! - and the relationship between Henry and Abe is incredibly sweet.

NCIS 1209: Loved this episode. But then, I love Smart!Tony. And Bishop's ( spoilers! )

NCIS: NO 109: I didn't care for this episode, especially in the light of current world events. But I did love the bit with Pride's ( spoiler! )

Scorpion 110: Again, I think you need to totally and completely suspend your disbelief to enjoy this show because the plots make little to no sense. This show is the new A-Team for me AKA just go with it and don't think about it too hard. Also, Europe's forests look nothing, absolutely nothing like California's woods. You can't just point at a group of trees in California and say, "Bosnia!"

The Flash 107: I wish they would tone down the shipping. I really don't care about how Barry always moans about Iris and can't stay away from her as the Flash. Dude, you had years to tell her. She has a boyfriend now. Grow a pair and grow up! It's a cool little show but not as gripping as I thought it would be.

Also, NBC decided NOT to pick up Constantine for a back-nine order, which means S1 will have only 13 episodes. S2 is still possible but the ratings are rather wonky. Yes, they are better than Hannibal's but H has international financing ergo it's cheap for NBC and it's a critical darling. C not so much. Just a heads-up, folks, since I dropped the show.

This week, I would rate the shows: NCIS >> NCIS: NO >> NCIS: LA

NCIS:LA - boring. I'm seriously thinking of dropping it, the way I did it with NCIS for a time. This season is so very, very boring. I'll give it a few more eps but if I don't see a hint of an interesting arc, I'll bail on it.

NCIS - gosh, Tony's so very, very pretty *_* I just can't get over how pretty Michael Weatherly has been this season *_* And I really liked the scene between Tony and Abby regarding ( spoilers! )

NCIS:NO - I really hope that they don't plan on dragging out Pride's ( spoilers! ) And I just adore LaSalle and Brody's friendship. I hope the writers won't try to force them together. I like their brother-sister vibe. For once, dear writers, surprise us and let them stay just friends, PLEASE!

No NCIS and NCIS:NO next week?

All of them were rather boring this week, weren't they?

NCIS:LA 602: I really don't care about the Hetty storyline, as much as I like her, but what was really cute was Callen's hair! Please, let him keep the haircut. The buzz cut wasn't at all flattering, especially after Chris gained some weight.

NCIS 1203: Liked the bit about Ducky. Nice. And Tony is still very pretty.

NCIS:NOLA 103: I'm loving the friendship between LaSalle and Brody. And among LaSalle, Brody and Pride. They seem like a much smaller unit than the other NCIS shows. I prefer it, I think.

Watched NCIS 1201, NCIS: NO 101 and Agents of SHIELD 201 tonight. Yes, I succumbed and watched NCIS: NO after all because so many people loved it on Tumblr. It wasn't anything special but I'm starting to really like the characters, the rapport among them. NCIS and SHIELD... not BAD but nothing that blew my mind. The only thing I really love was Fitz's story on SHIELD. And DiNozzo's new look on NCIS. DAMN, the guy is handsome!

That's 7 premieres watched - and nothing blew my mind. What the heck is going on? Are really all the shows so mediocre this season or is it me? Nothing so far set my heart aflutter.
