So Veronica Mars s3 turned a lot of people off the show? It sucks because I've just watched the premiere - M6 has aired the three seasons back to back - and I've liked it a lot and now I wonder about the rest. If people like [livejournal.com profile] greedy_dancer and [livejournal.com profile] sockich, whose taste I usually share, gave up on the show, chances are I will, too - though of course you never know. We'll see, I guess.

Forgot to talk about "Hollywood Babylon", btw! I finally watched it and really enjoyed it. I just love how SPN is the kind of show that can either make me cry or make me laugh my ass off, depending on the storyline. And I adore those shows that can laugh at themselves, too. Spoilers for SPN 2x18 )

Though I still can't believe there're only four episodes left for this season! Oh SPN don't leave me! *clings* And I haven't watched the promo for next episode so don't spoil me or anything, okay? Just in case...

Oh and I've seen the VisualDNA meme around and wanted to try it. It was eerie how accurate some of the stuff they said about 'me' were *blink*

Here is my response )

Friday! Weekend! Oh how I longed for that day all week, and it's here! Nothing can beat Fridays \o/

Today was the finale of Veronica Mars s2 and since I'd never watched it before, there was no way I was going to miss it. So I made sure that I'd be home. Or okay that's a lie, what happens is that my plans with tbf!Rissy after work were cancelled. Still, I didn't complain because it meant I was home for the episode. Wow. That was some finale, all right! So many twists all around.

Also, Veronica/Logan being one of my ships, I need to ask what exactly happens to them in season 3. Spoil me?

And, of course, today also means Supernatural Friday, wheeeeeeee! The ep finished downloading and it's waiting for me. I'm curious about it - I mean I am on principle but I also want to know whether I'll be on the side of 'underwhelmed' or on the side of 'hey it was awesome!' Usually the divide isn't that obvious so I wonder what the fuss is about.

Still on the subject of SPN. [livejournal.com profile] janedavitt did a little Alphabet Meme where you 'describe something, anything in 26 words, in alphabetical order.' I went with Dean because, well, this is me we're talking about? ;-) Here is my response:

Abandonment. Brother. Cocky. Damaged. Efficient. Family. Gorgeous. Handful. Impala. Jest. Killer. Loyal. Motherless. Naughty. Obedient. Protective. Quest. Rock. Sacrifice. Tired. Unity. Vulnerable. Warrior. Xrated. Yearning. Zero tolerance for evil.

I've seen some pretty clever responses where the girls actually made a couple of linked sentences with the words, thus writing a sort of drabble out of the whole thing. Dude, that's all kinds of brilliant because I already had trouble finding some words for a couple of the letters. For some others I had a plethora of ideas. Like the 's' for instance where I thought of Sam. Soldier. Solitude. Salt. Slut etc... But I had to pick one and so went with 'sacrifice.'

PS: Am watching Pirates of Silicon Valley and it's all kinds of brilliant! Bill Gates v. Steve Jobs! Johnny Smith v. Doctor Carter! History of Apple and Microsoft! ♥ ♥

I've read my first Black Donnellys slash this morning! Written by [livejournal.com profile] poisontaster. Bless! It's Kevin/Tommy, the pairing I kinda love already, even though, yes there was only one single episode blah blah blah. If you've seen the pilot, you might understand why this is the pairing I'm going for first. Though technically I wouldn't mind some OT3 in the future which would include Jimmy, cause more fucked-up'ness is always a nice element in a pairing, right? :-)

Unrelated now. Today was a nice mail day as I received [livejournal.com profile] babycakesin's parcel of goodness. Two episodes of L&O:CI and the first two episodes of S60. She's completely obsessing over the latter - which makes my interest in The Black Donnellys a bit amusing somehow. In a bad way, of course, Babycakes! Don't hit me! - and since I was curious about it I asked her. She doesn't think it's my kind of show and I kinda trust her on that one but I'm just too curious. And you never know. But it does feel like it's gonna be like The West Wing; I do recognise that it's a fantastic show, it just leaves me cold. We'll see...

But anyway, I watched L&O:CI at least - "The War at Home" and "Brother's Keeper" and my reaction goes along the lines of 'oh, Bobby!' Man, that was deliciously angsty and he broke my heart in tiny little pieces and I want more! And I'm still enamoured with Alex. So okay on the shallow side, I love the way she looks but I especially love how smart and tough and confident and sarcastic she is and how a good friend to Bobby she is too, even when he's not exactly ready to let her help him. Oh how I love that show! I can't wait for amazon to deliver the first season *makes grabby hands*

And since I'm on the subject of shows that I love even though I don't usually mention them here: so I've been watching Veronica Mars the past weeks since M6 started airing it and even though the French dubbing isn't really making me happy, I can't help but sorta, you know, falling in love with it all over again? VM is the girlfriend I never imagined going out with because she's not really my type, except she seduced me and I fell for her and we had a torrid affair for a while, just sex, nothing really more, though it was really good, and then we went our separate ways. No hard feelings, you know? But apparently when she comes back to visit, I want to sex her up again. Who would have thought?

I finally watched Veronica Mars 2x11 and Numb3rs 2x14 yesterday.

I wasn't exactly ecstatic with the latter at first, I'll have to admit. But it got better at one point, so I still enjoyed several scenes.

Numb3rs 2x14 - Harvest )

So, okay, not what I'd call the best episode, by far, but I did enjoy the scenes I mentioned and sometimes it has to be enough :-)

Veronica Mars now: you were right, GD, those first minutes truly were nothing compared to what happened next. That was fun *g* Also - and it's not a spoiler - I loved the Lost reference. How cool is it when a show does that kind of thing? In particular when they're actually rivals? Really cool, yes!

Finally... is there a place where we can find some spoilers for Prison Break? Some details about upcoming episodes and stuff like that?

Something I never ever imagined I'd do? Text message someone about - of all things - Veronica Mars because I wanted answers NOW - but it did happen *has much love for [livejournal.com profile] greedy_dancer*

So it's done. I watched all of season 1, and the season finale? Killed me dead. I never imagined I'd get so engrossed in that show that I would be - quite literally - bouncing on my bed out of anxiety because of what was happening on screen. But this, too, happened - what can I say, I'm kinda easy sometimes *shrug* I'm also weak because when everything was over and done with and I could finally breathe a little, I immediately asked GD who was behind the door because sometimes? You just have to know who's behind the door. Well, this was one of those moments *nods*

Unrelated now - I read a Prison Break fic yesterday that kinda blew my mind. [livejournal.com profile] clex_monkie89's story was... quite the experience. It's intense - I love saying that but some fics are just really powerful, and this is one of them. It's kinda haunting in the way it's told... it's a lot of things at the same time and I adored it. I don't know if it'll work for everyone - nor do I think it should, anyway - but it so worked for me!

Unrelated again - though technically, there is a logical link between everything that has been said from the first line of my entry to this, but I guess it would make sense only to me, so I'll spare you the painful details. Rejoice, flist - I read [livejournal.com profile] mrscutedean's latest post where she shared some nice spoilers for a future episode of SPN and I only have one thing to say: which will kinda be a spoiler as well so bye-bye )

Come to think of it, the past few days have been quite awesome as far as spoilers go - I think the future episodes of both SPN and Numb3rs will be enjoyed tremendously. Not that there was any doubt to begin with, mind you - but whatever :-)

Exam Week officially started and I'm so not in the right head space for it it's not even funny. I've been tired with a lot of things since October and I'm thinking of making some changes but dude, it's making me cranky. Well, not cranky cranky, just Mouse cranky so it's done quietly without much of a fuss but still...

Yeah anyway, I still had fun today, including a little VM watching between exam #1 and visit to one of The Best Friends.

So! I'm almost done with the first season of Veronica Mars. I'm two episodes away from the season finale. After that, I'll wait for [livejournal.com profile] greedy_dancer to burn the first part of s2 :-) But it also means that I might manage to catch up with the second part of s2 soon enough. I'll certainly download the new episodes so that I can start watching them as soon as I catch up with the missing ones.

No review or anything on my part, just the same thoughts as before: I love Veronica, I love Logan - I might even be kinda rooting for Veronica/Logan, but that's only in canon, as usual, cause fanon I'm all for Weevil/Logan - I love Keith. I'm quite taken with Wallace and Mac - oh and Meg as well. Duncan now... well, Duncan leaves me cold, I'm afraid. It's like he's here... but not. He's kinda transparent to me.

See? Still no VM icons nor long ass reviews. I can be a normal viewer, ie the kind that watches a show without obsessing over it. I mean... a normal viewer can watch a whole season in less than three days... right? Know what? Don't answer that - I don't want my illusions to be shattered.

I'll even change the subject and do that little SPN meme: the Name Three Things You'd Like to See Happen in the Show - and we're talking about the kind that can happen for real, nothing coming straight from the perverted imagination of a dirty little slasher.

So okay, three things...

1- I want to see John, Sam and Dean reunited. With physical contact. Actually, I'll take John and Dean but I guess it wouldn't be fair to let Sam out of it, so yeah I want to see them face each other. Technically, this should totally happen. So what I really want then is for John to hug the hell out of his boys - in particular Dean.

2- I want something that has to do with Faith so this is a spoiler )

3- I want a flashback of the Winchester family when they were together: I'm talking John and the boys. Either when Sam and Dean were little kids or when they were older, but I want me some flashbacks. Incidentally, I'm still waiting for that flashback in Numb3rs, I'm just sayin'.

In the course of the week, I went from a Prison Break mini marathon [after the Big Marathon of last week] to a Veronica Mars one and, let me tell you, it's kinda odd going from Fox River to Neptune High.

Though I did change my mind on VM, I need to precise that I still don't think I'll obsess or fandomise the show - but I am having fun. It's so not credible a lot of times and so very predictable at others and stuff - though, hi! SPN fan talking, so who's judging? - and it's still supposedly so not my kind of show but I find myself going from one episode to another eagerly. Go figure. Seriously it's all Veronica's fault. And Logan's, how could I ever forget Logan? And then there's also daddy!Mars who kicks ass and what can I say everything conspires against me, see?

Btw, [livejournal.com profile] greedy_dancer? Remember our conversation about the fandom and how it was apparently predominantly het? I watched 1x07, ie "The Girl Next Door" - and 1x08 and 1x09 too, btw - last night and you mean to tell me that this episode didn't give birth to a ton of Weevil/Logan? Because wow, if it didn't, that's a pretty stubborn fandom *nods*

Changing the subject #1, how cool were all those SPN posts coming from the British part of my flist? New fans emerge every day, yay! Speaking of which, it's sad that we don't get a new episode tomorrow but that's American tv for us, I guess, we have to make do *sigh*

Changing the subject #2, On second thought that might be considered a spoiler for Numb3rs' next episode so I'm cutting the not!info. )

Also, sekrit message to [livejournal.com profile] orion2303 - after your mails last night, you're my new best mate! Just so you know *g* I also thought it was so incredibly sweet of you to think of sharing the news - and talk about great news! *bounces*

ETA: I meant to ask. Does anyone know whether someone ever wrote Jensen Ackles/Wentworth Miller RPS? It's just that the other day I was watching PB and suddenly I was hit by the image of the two men fucking and it's haunting me now...

Am back from the French Posse Day. Which was awesome, as per usual *misses FP already*

We had our brunch at Starbucks - Starbucks wheee - followed with Brokeback Mountain which was even more beautiful than I thought. )

After the film, SAM and Catia left and Rosie, GD and I went to GD's to spend the remaining of the afternoon.

We had a blast! GD was a girl on a mission: first she showed us several episodes of Little Britain, which dude! Cracked me up so fucking much! It's brilliant, there are no other words for it. I need to see whether I can find the torrents because I want to laugh my ass off whenever I want with that series. Then she decided to show us the beauty of Veronica Mars, which believe me wasn't an easy feat because I'd watched the pilot once and thought it was booooooring and just not my kind of thing. Except GD is a good pimp and she showed us the right episodes and then I might have expressed a certain interest in Logan and she picked just the right scene to push me over the edge, namely some crucial scenes in 1x06 - and omg okay it was AWESOME and in the end I had to admit that yeah, I kinda fell for woobie!Logan and for pretty and kick ass Veronica. So in a moment of weakness I might also have asked her to burn the episodes for me *cough* So I'm weak and a tv junkie so sue me! But... I mean.. LOGAN! That is all. [ETA: Holy Fucking Shit! How stupid can I be? I just remembered that I already have most of VM on CDs! Catia burnt them for me ages ago! MAN! *dies*] [ETA2: Okay so I have all season 1. GD? I'll only need the first part of s2 after all *cough*]

Then around 9.30 pm we left for the Marais to find the 3W - ladies bar - which we did. We didn't even get lost or anything. We thought we'd won, except we didn't because the bar was packed. But! We did enter. So we didn't completely lose at gay bar. Right? So okay, we thought, what the hell, we'll find another bar. Which we did too. That's when we went from wild orgy lady bar to cozy hot chocolate bar. You want to make something out of it?! And then it was 10.30 pm and I went home. Yeah because I forgot to say we'd established we wouldn't go the gay club that night after all.

So, like, I have my cursed episodes... and now I have my cursed gay club ;-)

PS: Junk Food eaten today: two donuts, one sandwich, several Oreos. I love me some French Posse Day lol
