The Sentinel, not Lost and The Sentinel

[castalie]

Am watching "Hear no Evil" and something amuses me in the scene where Jim is awaken by the sound of Blair's pen on paper. The sound is driving him crazy because it's so loud to him, afterwards he throws the earplugs on the table and it makes him flinch but when Blair speaks to him in a normal voice? Nothing happens - he doesn't even wince. Because hey, an earplug being thrown on a table is ten times louder than a human voice - I think I wrote a paper on that one last month *eg* Though to be fair, I missed the beginning of the episode and I don't remember whether they gave any sort of explanation about it - then again it's The Sentinel after all, so why give any kind of rational explanation, right? Yes, I'm allowed to say stuff like that because I'm a fan - it doesn't count lol

So yesterday? I didn't watch Lost over and over again, and I didn't talk about it in anyone's comments nor did I chat with Babycakes late at night about it either. Also? I didn't play with the Lost bases babycakesin's made to make a Charlie icon - courtesy of crumblingwalls who capped pretty much the whole episode. No, not me. Because otherwise it would mean I'm already truly and hopelessly hooked on that show, and it wouldn't be true *cough* Besides, it doesn't mean that premiere had any kind of success anyway - 18 millions viewers? So what? And it's not as if thousands more people outside the US decided to download it either, right? Ah!

So yeah *clears throat*

Oh, something ainm said in her LJ last night about writing and the compulsion to write, even if it's not fanfic exactly made me think and I got curious about something. So on a whim, I checked how many words I'd written yesterday in my two posts - just yesterday, nothing more. Well I reached approximatively 1939 words - 1939... I wrote the equivalent of a ficlet. Without even batting an eye, without even thinking about it. Why can't I do that with a fic, huh? *pout*

I think it struck me in particular since I still haven't started my sentinelsecrets fic. But I was hit by another idea and it seemed the images that were popping into my mind were so much clearer than the first one... so I'm thinking of trying that one instead. And if I can mix the two, well it would be just so much more perfect *g*

I have the feeling I'll try and write it today. I was supposed to go out with Sandrine and the Gang this afternoon and we were going to a restaurant and a club tonight but I'm having one of my infamous pains and I can either sit in front of my computer or in my bed, but nothing more, thanks. Just the thought of leaving the house and, you know, standing on my two legs to do things like, say, walk and dance make me hurt *cringe*

*peeks at TV* YAY, Jim and Blair just did their Clasp/Slap Hands thingie - I love this little moment, it's sweet *g* In particular compared to the scene at the bullpen when Jim doesn't even really thank him after Blair gave him the white noise generator and earplugs. I mean, Blair had just found a way to help him deal with his wacky and painful hearing and not even a 'thank you' ? That wasn't nice. So this scene when Jim is all excited and he enthusiastically thanks Blair while being his touchy feely self was really appreciated *nodnod*

On a side note - don't know why, but hearing Jim say 'connard' is weird *shrug*

ETA: Ohhhhh Peter Wingfield is playing in- man, I don't even know what movie it is, but he's here!! *bounces* Hmm? TS is over, yes - I'm not abandoning my guys for random movies all around, who do you take me for?

ETA2: Oookay seems like badmovie to me - but hey, badmovie with Peter Wingfield? Fine with me *shrug*

Geez, you mention a tv show constantly for 24 hours once and all of a sudden you're considered as an addict... *shakes head in disbelief* Well, I'm not! I mean, what's to like in that show anyway? CharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlieCharlie Nothing at all!

[/silliness]

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Yes, why can't someone ramble mention a TV show over and over and over again on the course of a day once without being seen as an addict, dammit!

I watched this premiere once and twice and three times and maybe more once and thought it was so bloody awesome nice, so what?

Can't a crazy sane person obsess talk about a show without being labelled as a junkie in this world??

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

My point exactly. *posh* We're having calm, composed discussions about a silly little thing we've both seen, in a refined and lady-like way... We handled everything perfectly: never squeeing, never running around for icons, certainly not watching it four times yesterday and twice today, and not, NOT rewinding to watch the same few images over and over again. Oh, and not seeing slash in it either - that would be sick of us to think so.

although if you think of it the kink possibilities are fantastic: from bestiality to incest, they're all here - and we saw in the preview that someone finds handcuffs... coincidence? Hellooooo! Maybe that's what Charlie when to hide in the toilets: his bdsm equipment *giggles*

Oh, and the Lord prevents we shall ever giggle or have dirty thoughts about them. *prays*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I hope Charlie did retrieve his BDSM equipement because THAT would be drama and angst as its finest man, I feel like crying just thinking about it!

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you see it my way - this explanation is much better than the drugs anyway

[castalie.livejournal.com]

What about if we took everything? We would have an SM junkie - this way we would have the hotness of BDSM and the angst of the drugs thing.

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

*eyes shining* oh the possibilities!

are you going to write some Lost slash?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Didn't think about it - but hey, why not? Who knows when inspiration would strike. Besides, the dark atmosphere is always there so it would be right up my alley *ponders*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

but to do that, we need more infos on Sayid - hurry up, dammit! (not you, the people)

[saladscream.livejournal.com]

don't know why, but hearing Jim say 'connard' is weird *shrug*

Funny you should say that... I was just thinking the same thing! I suppose it's because we don't usually hear anybody really swear in that kind of TV show in France. French translators are too polite and too tame, if you want my opinion (but you probably don't...:op).
Why can't they just let it rip once in a while, for fucksake!
Normal people do swear! or perhaps that's just me...?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

It's sad when you even blink when you hear a character says 'merde' in a show like that, I mean please! They're men, they're cops and they're not in a nice and cute environment - use the slang, use the bad words already *sigh*

Normal people swear all the time, I know I do, putain!

[saladscream.livejournal.com]

Glad to see I'm not alone in this! :o)
C'est vrai quoi, fait chier, merde!

Bah oui, bordel *snicker*

Wingfield did a nice turn as the bad guy's biyatch in X-Men2. It was great to see him adding his prettiness to a good movie.

Handled that whole American accent thing well too. Or was that Canadian?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Hey, are you implying X2 was a badmovie? Cause that wouldn't be buddies! lol But no, that's not the one movie because I have it on DVD and I would definitely have recognised it, and also because on a Saturday afternoon, they never air that kind of movie, unfortunately. We have badmovies instead lol

He wasn't even in it that much - so I gave up and watched Lost again. Obsessive compulsive, moi? Of course!

[ginalin.livejournal.com]

I'm an unashamed fan of bad movies, so I can't exactly throw stones.

Give me an afternoon of B movies and a sack of gummy bears and I'm in heaven.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Okay. I know who the icon is now *g*

I figured it was time you became addicted to something new ;)

Good point about the writing, but I'm kicking myself about sentinel secrets as I would have had time to write tries to forget about timbertrick that needs starting and finished in in week

I can't wait to see what you come up with, and to see if I can pick your stuff out of the rest. I suspect yes, but I'll probably guess totally wrong and make a fool of myself *g*

Take care of yourself while you're sick, okay? Or hopefully you're feeling better by now.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Yes, I was starting to feel an inch, so I'm glad Lost happened *g* Let's just hope we'll be able to download more because we're so hopelessly hooked now.

I already started writing the thing and I'm really happy about it, I think it'll go well. And I'm really curious to see if some people will recognise my story - yes, definitely *is curious*

I felt fine this morning - it usually lasts a day, two at most.
