One more show on hiatus *sniffles*

Irony at its finest: of the many shows that I watch I decided to spoil myself for the season finale of one. Or, say, I asked about one particular spoiler about the s3 finale of Numb3rs, just one little fact. Guess what? As it turns out, it wasn't a real spoiler, it didn't happen!

So I decided to take that as a valuable lesson. I hereby declare that, from now on, I'll go spoiler-free for just about every show I follow, no exception *nods*

Of course it means that when the real spoiler did happen, well, dude, I kinda blinked at the screen because wtf, Numb3rs? What the hell did you do?

Colby? Colby was a spy? How did that happen? And how could you do that to us, Colby! You were the new character who started out as New Guy before really becoming Colby. You were the guy whom the fandom had decided to gift with not one but several pairings and okay being paired with David was already something but with Charlie? That's like the highest honour a fandom can make, dude, breaking the sacred 'cesty pairing... so, seriously, how did that happen?

Yeah, sure, the whole trust issue had been going strong with him and with his interaction with Don the past episodes and, yes, the title of the episode was kinda telling - I mean, as soon as Janus is mentioned, you can assume you'll be betrayed by someone but still, I hadn't seen that one coming! Talk about a betrayal... poor David, he broke my heart when he was watching the interrogation: the tears and then the outburst, that was awesome but, oh, David!

The rest of the episode didn't hurt that much and was great - I loved the scene on the bridge at the beginning, so tense and all. I was sitting on the edge of my seat, I really enjoyed it. I thought the whole the case was compelling and the way both Don and Charlie empathised with Ashby was fantastic, it was also nicely tense and intense and I just loved the rhythm of the whole episode. Absolutely adored how Charlie actually used science to protect Ashby and kick Bad Guy's ass and how Don was the one who figured out the music thing.

Plus, we had some lovely Don-Charlie interaction, some nice Don-Charlie touching and then the last scene was of the good. So a great episode, except for the whole betrayal thing *pout*

I also have the premiere of Traveler sitting on my HD - finally! - but I'm waiting a little bit before watching it. I'll do that after the season finale of Heroes airs, I think. Between SPN, now Numb3rs, and without a doubt Heroes, I'll need to take a little time before getting into a new show. Like, I'll need to compose myself and say goodbye to all my beloved characters for a while. Before meeting again/meeting for the first time a new bunch, know what I mean? Still, I'm quite impatient to see what will come out of Traveler as I've been quite curious about that show ever since I heard about it... and then I can't wait to start watching my summer shows.

Summer hiatus is only made bearable thanks to those shows that pop out of nowhere *clings to Kyle XY, just to name one*

Okay now, off to order a pizza then watch "All Hell Breaks Loose" again before switching to the French SPN later tonight. Ce soir sera Supernatural ou ne sera pas !

PS: Je viens de voir les extraits de 99 Francs qui sort en Septembre et faut trop que j'aille le voir, ça a l'air génial ! Ce qui est assez amusant vu que le bouquin m'avait pas franchement attirée. Je vais peut-être re-considérer la chose maintenant *nods*

I'm smug for calling it right. But I'm also hoping that someone will supply me with the last 4 eps of N3 and the last 3 eps of SPN, as I'm download-challenged...

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2007-05-20 06:08 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm supposed to buy DVDs this week, if you want I'll burn those episodes for you and send them your way, no problem at all!

Really? That would be awesome! Do you have my address? I forget...

What's Traveler? I feel like I've already asked you...

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2007-05-20 06:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Since I know you now know about the show, I won't repeat myself :-)

Aww, come on! Tell me a third time about the one-night stand threesome show! *g*

Yeah, I was shocked too when the spoiler turned out to be a hoax :( That was too bad. I was so looking forward to it that I felt cheated, really :(

I decided to go spoiler-free too. But it's so hard when first spoilers for season 3 of SPN already started to leak out... X(

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2007-05-21 09:53 am (UTC)(link)
I just thought it was incredibly ironical, really *shakes head*

I usually go spoiler-free for most of my shows so it won't be that difficult adding N3 to the mix... I guess it was meant to be lol

ut it's so hard when first spoilers for season 3 of SPN already started to leak out.

Already? Wow, that's fast! It's gonna be hell not being spoiled before the season premiere airs, isn't it? *fingers crossed*

Colby? Colby was a spy?

Dude, I KNOW! I was like, OK, now to watch a season finale that won't leave me completely shaken and then...dude! DUDE! No, seriously, dude!

I kinda really love them for doing this, though. It's so deliciously fucked up. ♥

Oh, and what was the fake-spoiler?

watch "All Hell Breaks Loose" again

Lol, how many does that make? I sort of lost count already (well, the first part I watched completely three and the second part two times, but I watched just parts of each ep approximately a gazillion times). I love my show.

N3 kinda floored me. It was supposed to have the one and only quiet and feel-good finale other shows don't give you and then they did this! Dude! It was awesome but WHY COLBY? Unless he is a triple agent, yes. Still, that was shocking... and fucked-up.

Oh, and what was the fake-spoiler?

The fake spoiler was about a) someone getting shot at and b) Charlie getting kidnapped.

how many does that make?

Lol I stopped counting too. And I might have watched AHBL 2 again last night *cough*

As it turns out, it wasn't a real spoiler, it didn't happen!

OMG, I know! I was like, wait, nobody got shot? Nobody got kidnapped?! WTF?!! Nice mis-direction, as this twist was totally unexpected.

Loved the ep! The Don/Charlie moments were fabulous, especially taking a walk in the other's shoes for a moment. Someone said they were yin and yang, and I really liked that comparison.

The whole betrayal scene was devastating! Poor David. But even for Colby himself! He hated having to tell his friends and teammates that he'd been lying to them, which I think is very telling. I'd love to see someone explore his feelings at having to remain undercover (I'm just assuming he's really spying for the US, lol, because, well, he HAS to be!) while his friends think he's betrayed them and his country.

Ah, so that was the fake spoiler? (I managed to stay away from both real and fake spoilers, so the whole thing fell on me like cartoon bricks on Wile E. Coyote. Especially because the episode was so good.)

I'm just assuming he's really spying for the US, lol, because, well, he HAS to be!

*lodges firmly into your believer camp* Because, to quote an older fandom, the alternative is unthinkable. ;)

I'd read the bit about someone being shot in one of the AA columns, and [livejournal.com profile] castalie got the other one third-hand, but I figured they could both be true, as they'd both work hand-in-hand, but clearly they were just red herrings.

Yes, yes, it must be true!

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2007-05-22 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
I know! And it was so ironical that the one spoiler I would know about turned out to be a hoax *shakes head* Still, it definitely made the real twist even more unexpected!

'm just assuming he's really spying for the US, lol, because, well, he HAS to be!)

The whole fandom seems to have embraced that theory lol

Je rattrape mes postes de retard, je suis entièrement d'accord avec toi, Colby ne peut pas nous faire ça, il est associé à Charlie maintenant pour beaucoup de slasheuse (moi la première!) prendre la place de Don ça se mérite! (ok pour moi il ne remplacera jamais Donnie^^ je l'aime énormément mais faut pas abuser!).

Tu as vu le visage de Charlie lorsqu'il entend la voix de Cole? Oh my.
J'ai lu quelques fics bien sympathique sur le sujet d'ailleurs.

Numb3Rs you rock my world!

Apparemment je suis aussi en retard pour répondre à mes commentaires *g*

J'attends avec impatience de voir ce qu'ils vont faire avec Colby dans la quatrième saison; sérieux, ils nous ont tués avec leur twist, là, ils peuvent pas nous laisser comme ça, si ?
