Scratching Post

So when is someone going to make an Agents of SHIELD video to the Bat for Lashes song "Tahiti"?

Okay, semi-live blogging the episode, so possible spoilers. Had to list things that made me laugh aloud and/or that I just plain liked:

( Cut because I care... )

Still want Clint or Natasha to guest, raise their eyebrows, and solve it all in like 3 seconds.

You know they would.

No real spoilers.

It was angsty and had an actual plot and obvious parallels to Olivia's story. Plus, you know, Broyles being snarky and that is always a good thing. *g*

Just had to again say how much I like the writing on this show - the characters' personalities are so quirky, but so consistently quirky that it makes the whole thing work. Astrid is so awesome with Walter, who is awesome with Peter and Olivia in his own ways. Broyles knows them all well enough to not necessarily not be surprised by what they come up with, but to just kind of roll with it when it happens. And Olivia... Anna Torv is just quite awesome playing all the little nuances wrapped around her.

Also, someone needs to make Broyles' quote about emergencies into an icon. Just saying.

First, the non spoilery reaction:

FRINGE!

Now, the spoilery reaction:
( Fringe Theory )

So, that would be my attempt at coherency after both the episode and far too many people talking at once. :) Thoughts?

We watched BBC's new Sherlock last night. Yes, the new ep airs tonight. Yes, we are already behind (just not as far as we have been on other shows previously).

Overall, I have to say I liked it. There were so many quirky little things going on in the background and with each character that it was hard not to smile and laugh at. I swear I have seen the guy who played the medical examiner somewhere before, but have no idea where. Unfortunately, by the time I figured out where I have seen the actor who plays Watson before and was all excited to tell wolfie74, it was right when there was a big reveal for something else at the end. She, er, did not share my enthusiasm at the time. *wince*

I would love to make an icon or two (one specific one that she requested), but have yet to find any good pics or screen caps to use. Anyone know of any?

Also, I have seen a few comms for Sherlock series from past and present, but none specifically for this one. I know myself well enough to know I will get thrown if I am expecting imagery from this one and get the movie verse or previous versions instead, just as I would be thrown looking for the movie verse and suddenly they have all the modern shinies. Anyone know of any comms? Or at least comms that are really good at labeling?

So, yeah, this goes into the column of Would Watch Again, currently occupied by Leverage, Merlin, Rizzoli & Isles, and a rapidly fading SG world. :)

Just watched the first three eps of Leverage and think I am in love. I had only caught bits and pieces previously. Love the humor and the attitude and all the little details. I know there are people on my f-list hooked on it as well, and I can definitely see why. Have many more episodes to go through and am rather looking forward to it.

Anyone willing to share some links? Fics or comms to read fics? Icon-like things even?

I think I'm a little in love with Parker, and I don't usually go for blondes. *g* "She's twenty pounds of crazy in a five pound bag."

Edit: To change icon because I'm obsessive like that.

A) Called it!

B) wolfie74 and I were quoting lines... before they were said. *g*


PS - Re: Bones - Huh, I thought the Class of '94 thing was a flub. Silly me.

Watched In Plain Sight this week, which managed to have not one but two awesome quotes:
- “What are you, verbally impotent?” “I’m sorry, it’s never happened before.”
- “It’s like salmon – they swim upstream, fight the tide, and end up on a bagel.”

Watched Bones last night. ( Spoiler for Cause of Death )

Watched Fringe last night as well. Okay ep, it was about time, want to know who the person at the end was. However, the preview for next week looks awesome. ( Spoiler for Upcoming Ep(s) )

Now I must totally concentrate on my work and in no way try to pull up Word and write fanfic. It helps that boss’s boss’s boss is moving in to the cube next to me effective next week and they are currently rebuilding it for her. It’s like a neat little noose hanging over my head. Or, possibly, just to be contrary, I want to goof off that much more while I can...

Watched V with the boys and kept giggling maniacally throughout it. Yes, there is cheese, and lots of it, but the original had even more. Besides, it's fun to play Sci-Fi Actor Bingo. *g*

[BTW, so called it on Alan Tudyk's character...]

Edit: Because I have to add a quote from Eldest:
"Wow, it's like a UFO or something!"
