A few thoughs on tv shows.

[fan_elune]

Yes, I haven't updated in forever. This is me, trying to make up for it.

Last week's GA: Jeffrey, kindly to stop making me cry my eyes out any time. Seriously. Addison, marry me. (We can have threesomes with McSteamy. Maybe. When we feel like it.)

Last week's SPN: oh, god. Jared, you are brilliant at playing it bitchy and pissed. Only Dean gets to call him Sammy. And that punch. And the acting. And Amber. But mostly, the brother tensions. Christ. Fuck. I love them so hard.

The latest Desperate Housewives: yeah, so my love for Dougray Scott is back full force. I've been trying not to give in, but. Also, my love for Bree and Marcia Cross (is that her name?) keeps growing. And I love what they're doing with Andrew. So bad.

The latest Robin Hood: I'm surprised to say I enjoyed it much more this time. Likely because I knew what to expect. I still strongly dislike Robin's cockiness (cabotinage, much?), but Marian made me want to slap her less. I settled for mild dislike and much eyerolling instead. Richard is never as good as when he doesn't have any stupid lines to say, thus making his silent scenes on the show the best. thing. ever, especially by comparison to heavy-handed political comparisons. (My, I don't know what you're talking about.) I think something's very wrong with me that I saw similarities between the way the Sheriff acted and the way Rufus did in AKT.

Last night's Heroes: I still adore Nathan. So much more interesting than his brother. HIRO! Nothing more to say on that. Nikki: less blah. Cheerleader gal whose name I'll remember some day: not the smartest kid ever, but I still like her a lot. Mohinder: needs to be shirtless. Isaac: is threatening to be made into an actual character with those lines they're giving him. Matt: needs to be on more. Seriously. And bring Clea in.

STING. Omigodsting. So much hotness, and his voice. And also I just fucking love that show. It's Sorkin, and I love Sorkin. I'm even starting to like Jordan. Maybe. A little. But mostly I'm in love with Christine Lahti's character and Harriet is wonderful and oh Matt oh Danny oh Cal oh Sim oh all of you guys. *LOVES* I seriously don't want it cancelled please please pretty please.

Cheerleader = Claire. :D

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'm gonna remember that some day.

Richard is never as good as when he doesn't have any stupid lines to say, thus making his silent scenes on the show the best. thing. ever, especially by comparison to heavy-handed political comparisons.

I occupied myself through those scenes silently imbuing Guy with depth!Depth!! But compared to the Sheriff, he at least has interesting motivations. I wonder if his family had lost their estate somehow over the generations, or if they just never had their own land.

And what's the deal with Robin and Guy? Did he lose a fight to Robin before he went to war, when he was a bloodthirty brat (Robin, not Guy)?

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

I love Guy if only because he seems so very bored of the Sheriff. Depth is bound to happen when you give me Richard, anyway. I can't resist that man. You can't speak with that voice and not have depth. It is, in fact, a voice of depth.

As for what the deal is with Robin and Guy, I'm thinking mostly it's our imagination, too. I don't want to start expecting a background story on Guy - although if it involves Robin, maybe we will get it. (I wish that show were called Guy of Guisborn. Oh, I wish.)

I just read the Jamie interview you linked to and oh how I love this man. Thanks for that. :)

I'm halfway through Heroes 1x03...

Nathan is my favourite character now as well, although I'm equally fascinated by Peter, as their stories are closely connected. And Nathan's got that classic superhero square jaw going... I think he's definitely going to surprise us.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

I don't know why, but Peter utterly fails to interest me unless he's in a scene with Nathan. He might be cute, but he's nowhere near cute enough for me to care just on that basis. Nathan, however, and I know much of this is due to Adrian Pasdar, fascinates me. I cannot wait to learn more about him. Where he's coming from, and where he's heading towards.

"Fields of Gold" on the lute now owns my heart. And I'll just say that I bought the new cd and there's much talking on it and he trills his R's and that's probably just a me thing, but god.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Oh, god yes, that song, the lute. Do you have it? Could you send it to me? My gmail account should be able to handle it. Also: collar bones! Jacket sleeves! And just, you know, him. Mmmrrrr.

It would probably not be just a you thing if I heard it. I don't think I even squeed at you about his pirate songs, I kept it for B, but holy shit. And the accent! And just, ha. There is nothing that man could do that I wouldn't like, I'm beginning to suspect. It's kinda vexing.

[gracielu.livejournal.com]

I have the cd ~ sadly, Fields of Gold isn't on it. It's all classical music (the song he sang during the rehearsal on the show is one of them), but I'd be more than happy to send it or post it or whatever you do with that kind of thing, only I don't know how to do it because I'm blonde like that. And did you know that Depp was one of the requestors for the shanty songs? Although he's denying it vehemently inside my head right now.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

I did know! I remembered from way back when I'd first heard about those CDs and it amuses me to no end that your boys should be linked by them. No matter how vehement Depp's being.

Also, thank you sweetie, but I'm sure that I can get my hands on it some other way that won't trouble you half as much. I'll also look around for lute-y Fields of Gold, I'll let you know if I can find it!

STILL haven't watched Greys. What is wrong with me?

Missed Robin Hood, and am mostly blah about the fact that I missed Robin Hood. I saw the first episode and the best thing about it was the Torchwood advert after it.

I should be watching Heroes, shouldn't I?

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

I don't know, but it's something big. GO WATCH GREY'S. There will be more tears.

Having seen the TW ad independently of the pilot, the best thing about it was undoubtedly my lovely wonderful what-the-hell-are-you-doing-in-this-show Richard Armitage. I strongly disliked that first episode, but the second one was entirely more watchable.

Yes, you definitely should be. If only for Adrian Pasdar, who's just giving us the most complex character of the lot so far. And he's barely been developped yet! Plus, Greg Grunberg - as an Alias fan, how can you not want to follow Greg's career? Tch.

[m-agda.livejournal.com]

I loved the SPN punch. I truly believe that Dean should be allowed to just go and punch people in every episodes. They could even be some random dudes, if Kripke doesn't wan't Jensen Acles to rough up the actual guest stars too often. Or Padalecki. Anyway, the punching is way hot.

'Heroes' is so my new tv baby. And I'm with you on the de-shirting Mohinder issue.

I'm so glad that I found someone else who appreciates Harriet. Seriously, why people hate her? She's great all around.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Anything Jensen does is hot. Mostly, that punch was raw and fucked up - Sam's his little brother! - and just, yeah. So much emotion, so much pain.

He seriously needs it off, right? I'm sure they could work that into the plot somehow. Makes Likely!Evil!Chick seduce him for her Likely!Nefarious!Plans or something.

They do? No! Harriet is wonderful! And worth a hundred Jordans. Tch.

[m-agda.livejournal.com]

Great idea, that would actually put the Likely!Evil!Chick to some use. If that fails they could always choose the beaten path and just make him go out of a shower ;)

I know. At least people who don't like Harriet usually don't like Jordan even less. Small mercies.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Well, if she's not even good for that much they might as well kill her off. She annoys me so. ;)

Yes, quite. But how can they not love Harriet? She's a true Sorkinese female character. I love her.

I haven't seen 'Robin Hood' yet, but there is a picture of Gisburn in this week's 'Radio Times' that really makes me want to. He's all slouching against a tree and being wicked. Also it has Jack Harkness on the cover, which is never a wrong thing.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Richard is honestly the only reason to even give Robin Hood a try. As far as I'm concerned, anyway. Some friends of mine have managed to enjoy the show, but... yeah, no. Maybe now that I've accepted what it is, and what it's not, I will, but. It's nowhere near as great telly as the Beeb can produce.

But, yes. Richard is lickalicious.

And okay, I'm totally getting excited about TW now I really, really shouldn't.

[grapefruitzzz.livejournal.com]

I am willing to watch a whole episode of 'Robin Hood' just based on this small photo. He has a leather shirt on!

I am reserved about the 'Wood because of my earlier reservations about DWS2(noo), but Jack! Jack! And coats! And Cadiff! Where I've been, although not since they did it up with all that millennium stuff.

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

Oh, god, I love his wardrobe. I think I wanna watch the second episode again and put on a loop just the one bit where he gets on a horse, because, yeah. And he's just so deliciously sexy.

I am extremely wary of getting excited about TW, but I can't really help it at this stage. I do expect a lot from it. I'm so afraid I'm going to hate it. But Jack! His own show! And that coat! And RTD! Come on, I can't hate it, right? *is afraid* *is very afraid*

[firko.livejournal.com]

Loved this ep of GA, and Jeffrey made me cry too - with just his voice. And George & Izzie were so sweet together at the end.
Robin Hood.... well, I'm still waiting to be convinced. I completely agree on Robin's cockiness - blowing Marian kisses indeed. Much as I love having a date with Richard every Saturday night, he is managing to look bored in nearly all his scenes. Lets hope they give him something more to do soon!

[fan-elune.livejournal.com]

His voice is more than enough. It's his voice.

But he looks bored in a magnificent way! He seems to be saying "why the fuckin' hell couldn't I find some better patron to be a henchman for, honestly." Which, you know, I'm right there with him.

T'essaies comment ? Parce que j'ai eu aucun problème par torrent. Sinon y'a une communauté dont il faudra que je te passe le lien, mais pas sur un poste non flocked.

Heh. De rien ! Enjoy!
