Lately Thursday has become my show-induced ramble day but unfortunately there are no more shows with our boys airing on Wednesday nights *sadface*. Poor Second Chance tanked in ratings so FOX has kicked it off to Friday nights, heh. Hence, Saturday ramble post :P I just hope they keep SC around for the remaining 8 eps, ouch :P


Again there were plenty of awesome Tim moments and yet I still can't force my brain to make the switch from Peter to Duval. I have nothing against the other cast members but while watching this I just keep thinking how much more awesome it would have been with Matt by his side :D It's no mystery that I am stuck forever in WC land, I don't think I will ever break free :P But you know what they say - if it works, don't mess with it :D

So, have a few relatively non-spoilerish funnies :D


"Peter Burke, FBI"


2nd generation CI-induced headache


"My chest's still mightier than yours"


Now, he had the exact same look when Neal passed out on his couch. It's the adorable puppy CI look :P

Also, this episode has certainly just become the sponsor of some glorious Neal!whump manips in the nearest future, heee :P

In other news, I have completely stopped watching all current shows, I'm several eps behind with pretty much everything I'm theoretically watching /o\ I just sort of lost interest. Recently I got seriously hooked on The Flash and this is the only show I am up-to-date with. It was a great marathon of s1 and half of s2 and probably the best way to get to know all characters. They are all wonderful, I love the cast and they all do a splendid job portraing all the boys and girls that belong in that universe :D Of course my favorite is Dr Harrison Wells, OMG (*hearts Tom Cavanagh*). The way this show works, they can explore so many versions of Wells, it's like a dream come true :D And now I think I have to start watching Legends of Tomorrow because they have wings there :P And fun cast, too.

Meanwhile I got tens of various episodes of various shows that I need to watch but I'm watching House from the very beginning instead, I made it to season 2 *headdesk*

Oh, and I did watch the new X-files ♥ Wheeee, it was sooooo good to see Mulder and Scully again :D I love it that they kept the original intro, heee :D And doesn't Gillian Anderson look amazing. WOW! As for the plotty part, it was pretty much what X-Files was 10 years ago = insane conspiracy theories that were almost too much for my brain to process, but nonetheless, an enjoyable hour with familiar faces, heee :D And I'm loving all the personal stuff between Mulder and Scully ♥ Looking forward to ep 3 \o/

And now it's time to stop wasting time and finish some treats to post :D

YAY for Flash!!!!!!!

And double YAY for Harrison Wells in all of his incarnations. I can't seem to write any Flash fanfic without him front and center.

He's (1) an evil monster or (2) an adorable cupcake or (3) a badass father.

And those gorgeous blue eyes and dark hair...a sort of older, leaner version of our Mattie.

Sigh...

Now I'm curious: Who of you both infected the other one with this new love? Or did you both come to it independently at the same time?

Nope, Elr started watching it and then worked her evil powers and got me hooked on it... I was breathing, eating and drinking Flash for a few days, LOL :D

And I'm so proud of it, considering the many thousands of words she's bunnied out of me!

Which is why I'm outlining my White Collar/Flash crossover right now..

Oh, I hadn't realized till now that kanarek means canary! But of course, it's obvious. So in a way you are related to the Black Canary from Arrow [livejournal.com profile] kanarek13 ;)

I also have infected my friends with some stuff, and I listen to them if they recommend something. Same with my brother. Usually you know the other's taste and what they would or wouldn't like. And sharing a show and a fandom and all the squee about it is so much better than being all by yourself. I had a really hard time between September and December, when nobody wanted to take part in my squeeing of "Star Trek Continues". But when my friends visited me, I sat them down on the sofa and made them watch it ;) And they liked it, as I had predicted they would.

I'm looking forward to that crossover but I wonder in which city it will be set? Isn't that a problem?

Heeee, yeah, I was actually afraid for a moment there at the beginning of s2 that there will be no more Harrison Wells... and then came the YAY :D

It's really a great show, and just like you I really enjoy the focus on the relationships and family (though Iris was starting to annoy me at the end of s1 :P). I just soooo wish it would give me the same creative vibes like my WC boys do /o\ Now don't get me wrong, I can whip up art for the Flash, especially with Harrison ♥ but it's still not the same as with Peter and Neal. I see a pic or an idea and my brain only goes Peter and Neal. It's both a blessing and a curse!

I agree about Iris - she was def. getting on my nerves at the end of S1 - but they seemed to have refocused her character.

Now it's Caitlin who is kind of like nails across the chalkboard - the way she seems to take every word out of Jay's mouth as the purest gospel. I just want to slap her sometimes. THIS GUY IS UP TO NO GOOD. HE HATES HARRY!!!!!!

kanarek13[personal profile] kanarek13 on January 30th, 2016 09:29 pm (UTC)
Yes, yes, this! But thankfully there are still plenty of characters to focus on, so that way we can deal with whatever fails one character suffers temporarily.

I'm just really allergic to the notion of OMG, I'm with A but I have feelings for B, so maybe I should sleep with C and then dump A or maybe B... it's like Grey's Anatomy all over again, LOL (which is why I only lasted one season with this one :D)

elrhiarhodan[personal profile] elrhiarhodan on January 30th, 2016 09:33 pm (UTC)
TBH, if I don't have to write either Caitlin or Iris, I don't.

Can't see making either of them the focus of a story. I think because both of them are so young. Diana was different - she was already mature, made tough life and professional choices, and reveled in her role as a badass.

I don't dislike them, but I don't include them in my head canon. Sort of like how I felt about Alex and Kate.

There seems to be a lot of Tom Cavanagh love around lately ;) If I hadn't my hands so full with all the other guys, I certainly would join you all. Without him, the series would definitely be not what it is. Great casting there. I did not know him before at all.

Just saying - do you know that he will be in Birmingham in May? In case you want to meet him. Who knows when this chance may come again.

Sadly I can't go as it's the same weekend when I will be with Vic and Bill and Karl at Fedcon.

He is awesome, it would be fun meeting him but I don't have the budget for it... also, I think I kinda prefer to go set stalking :P I guess I got spoiled by the way it worked with Matty and Tim :D

Understandable ;) Once you had an experience like this, it's hard for other things to keep up with expectations.

You would need to go to Vancouver for that then, which certainly is not the worst thing to do. It's a very lovely city and highly recommended.

I have to agree - there's something so wonderful about set stalking and seeing our boys out there on the street, so fan-friendly and happy to see us.

Sigh, those days were the best.

Yes, any network that will let them drop their clothes at some point and do very naughty things... and then we can watch Matty be brilliant playing his character struggling with all those conflicting feels :P

OMG, write eeeeet :P And Harrison Wells can be Peter's right hand, also lusting for the new pretty boy :P

Or Peter's current' fucktoy? Hmmm... Use Earth-1 Harrison, who was such an utter cupcake... not evil EoHarri. He's deeply in love with Peter and doesn't see Peter as a bad man.

Enter Neal, intrepid undercover FBI agent, who decides that the best way to go after Peter is via Harrison. Makes Peter jealous...so happy threesometimes???

Y? N?

and of course this absolute is different from the semi-canonical crossover I'm writing.

YES! Guh.

There's someone on Tumblr who keeps posting Harrison Wells gifs of him basically posing like a catwalk model.

And that E-2 segment, when the school tour is happening and the elevator opens, he's in black with a white shirt and just poses for a heartbeat.

SEriously, what are you doing to me??? Imagine that magic with Neal?

I have a habit of mostly falling for closed fandoms/finished shows - I think White Collar is only the second one I've fallen for while it was actually running...

So my TV watching tends to be less TV and more DVD :)

I must start a rewatch of all the episodes some time.

Love the captions, lol!! Not had chance to watch it yet, due to RL stuff, but hopefully tomorrow if not later today.

I've been watching Arrow and The Flash. I do enjoy the shows, but there are times when I'm not in the mood for them, then I'll suddenly click and catch up (not sure why, but this happens with other shows too, so I think it's more a 'me' thing than anything to do with the shows themselves).

I enjoyed the first ep of Legends of Tomorrow a lot (it might be my fav of the three shows, we'll see). As I know they sometimes cross their shows over, it'll make me keep up with the other two a bit more (to avoid watching things out of order, which I don't like doing). I like the captain in Legends! And Snart (sp?) is fun in this show too! :)

I think it's exactly the same with me right now - I just lose interest in some shows but I know at some point I'm gonna go back to them... the only problem is my DVR and my hard drive running out of space, lol :D

You should certainly watch it! It has a slightly more sci-fi feel (ie time travel, a time-ship, a ship's computer) than the other two shows, though still very superhero-y.

I must watch the second ep tomorrow. RL has sort of gotten in they way so far.

It doesn't help the Peter/Duval disconnection when they give him lines that would fit so seamlessly into WC. Of the three episodes I like this one the best, finally some good humor writing in it. Several awesome one liners. "No, this is the first time I've tailed someone...it's very exciting." ;)
