It's official.
Jun. 11th, 2009 10:56 pmI genuinely like Royal Pains now. I'm hesitant to make this a definite proclamation, but it certainly seemed like it was managing to actually start hitting its stride with the second ep.
( More bibbling. )
tl;dr: I'm glad I decided to stay up and watch it again. If it sticks to this quality or better, I will be very happy.
As for Burn Notice, ( I'm not sure I have any really specific squee. ) Mostly, all I can muster in the way of coherent thought is "OMG BURN NOTICE ♥♥♥♥♥ OMG".
(Note to self: I think there's enough about meta and shipping to tip Royal Pains over into having a fandom tag here, so I'm gonna stick one on. If I don't end up using it much, then I have to remember to get rid of it. I'm watching you, self!)
There was also some Tru Calling today; I really like that show, although the main cast is pretty relentlessly white. Not a lot of commentary to offer, because today's eps were from that phase where it was transitioning from solely dead-person-of-the-week to larger mytharc, and since I've already seen a bunch of the episodes from later in the mytharc, I knew exactly what was going on with Jack. His character really yanked on me in some of those later eps, but today's were just sprinkled with ... the occasional moment of yankage, let's say. So it was somewhat less compelling than it might have been if I had seen the episodes in order.
And now I need to go to bed, in the hopes that I'll be maybe a little more productive tomorrow. I was hoping to get stuff done today, but I ended up blowing the morning reading through the Cassandra Claire Plagiarism Debacle writeup for, I don't know, the tenth time? Every now and then I find myself revisiting big old wanks - that one, the Msscribe writeup, and some of the big Harmonian wanks, in particular. Like, not for any real reason or anything, just to kind of skim them, except then once I start, I can't stop reading, and before I know it I've spent four hours reading F_W and I haven't done one single thing from my list. /o\
