castalie | Pairing successful

PoI fans, out there? I'm one of you, now! I've been caught, hook line and sinker! Operation Watch PoI Properly was such a success that I am now (as well as Cookie, I pimped the show to her and she fell for it \o/) three episodes shy of the season 1 finale. The real problem has been to be reasonable each night and go to bed instead of just watching One More Episode. Then One More. Last night was quite frustrating as we finished watching 1x20 around midnight and it wouldn't have been reasonable to keep watching. Being so close to the last episodes and having to deal with sleep and all that healthy lifestyle thing? Totally sucks! Then again, I have something to look forward to tonight ♥ Well, tonight and many more nights to come as I'll segue into season 2 right away.

I absolutely love Finch and Reese, I'm completely smitten with them. Individually and as ~~a couple~~ partners. They make such a fantastic, sweet, competent team ♥ There's nothing In Your Face about the feelings they have for each other (respect, friendship, trust etc.), it's all very quiet and subtle, yet it's so strong. And beautiful :) There's someone on my flist who wrote those entries about Finch and Reese being perfect examples of "clams" and I wish I'd known I'd fall for them in advance so that I could have tabbed those entries to read later!

Back to them, I've enjoyed seeing their relationship grow from that first meeting to where I am now. I'm sure I'm in for a treat with the rest of the show. Incidentally, I'm also prepared for many things to go wrong, you never know with those two.

And let's not forget Carter and Fusco for my love for them burns like thousands fiery suns too! I don't count the number of times when I go "I LOVE CARTER" whenever she's being competent, kick-ass, smart, heroic, sarcastic, compassionate etc. etc. And I feel for Fusco who struggles in ways none of the others seem to be struggling and sometimes I go "REESE, BE NICER TO LIONEL, OK?" too.

In any case, with a team like those four, things never get dull, do they? Btw, I'll come clean, my favourite moments are when John is in danger and everyone worries for him and then comes to his rescue. The dude totally needs to be taken care of. And I like that he knows it too and doesn't mind that much, after all (I'm refering to the whole "Who's taking care of you now?" "Someone new" exchange in "Risk". My little heart fluttered when he said it ♥)

Also, PoI knows how to feed my hurt!characters (physical and emotional) kink, I'm very grateful ;)
