Hey guys, I'm trying to catch up on a few shows. Supernatural, Constantine, The Flash, Arrow, Marvel's Agent Carter and and Marvel's Agents of Shield. Sorry I haven't been online to chat.

*Please tell me Crowley's mother gets it eventually. I really can't stand her and not in a good (she's evil) way. She just irritates me and keep wanting to turn it off when their scenes are on...when I assume it's meant to be funny. I'd be watching so much faster without her, because it's fine otherwise. I will catch up guys. Sorry I'm so slow. I haven't been chatting or whatever because I'm so behind.

*Loving Constantine. I'm down to the last two episodes for the season. Please tell me there will be more. Love love love. Such a cheeky bugger!

*The Flash. Eeeee. I'm only 2 episodes behind now and I cannot believe it! Time travel madness to come I assume. Can't wait.

*Arrow is going down an interesting path too. I'm only one episode behind on it now (i.e. pretty up to date). Ooooh don't do it Ollie!

*I'm really behind on Agent Carter, but it's gorgeous. Are they continuing the series? I've heard things both ways.

*Up to date (or one ep behind?) on Agents of Shield. Can't wait to see where Skye's story arc is headed.

New Shows:
*I'm also quite liking iZombie. Watched the first 2 episodes and it seems pretty fun. I love the idea of a reluctant zombie using her brain-eating psychic abilities to fight crime. Must have been really fun graphic novels.

*Loving 12 monkeys! Is anyone else watching this show?

Can anyone explain what happened there? I am very confused.

EDIT: Haha! This (spoilery of course) review sums up my WTF? perfectly! Fangirlish review of 4x10

I'm really enjoying Intelligence.

And not because the lead male is awesome, though I am enjoying his droll humour a lot, but mainly because here is a show that doesn't shy away from tough female characters with heart. Both Lillian and Riley are complete characters. Yes they can shoot or act tough, but that doesn't mean they aren't in touch with their emotions or that they can't have a sense of humour. I love that Riley looks up to Lillian as a role model in a world where she probably has few female role models. I love the interplay between Lillian and Riley full stop. I also love that the fact that these women do what they do and do it well, doesn't mean they are completely accepted in this man's world. There are numerous references, especially in the first episodes, to men (particularly Gabriel) feeling emasculated in the face of these women. And these women telling them to suck it up.

I pretty much love all the main characters they've set up, male and female. Don't get me wrong. I'm just particularly loving that I love these two wonderful strong female characters. It's rare and brilliant and I hope to hell the show isn't axed any time soon.

I'm also loving the snappy interplay between Gabriel and Riley. That they can be emotionally supportive of each other and that they can be so close, but always professional. Loving the interplay between Gabriel and the science geeks in charge of his health and well-being. Science geeks who are such caring creatures might I add - loving that too. They aren't cold and heartless or unemotional as so many scientists are portrayed. And they're perfectly capable of being brave-hearted. Their mother-henning and care of Gabriel is adorable. And Gabe's reactions are too! You can tell he quite likes it and is amused, all the while protesting that he's fine and would they stop now.

Ah, in short I have fallen in love with this show. A show I thought would just be a serious version of Chuck... which it sort of is, but it WORKS! It works so well! If you've given up on it, please watch beyond the first few episodes. It's worth it.

Anyone else watching? Got any recs for fic or where to find good stuff?
I'm hooked. :)

(Oh I need icons too!)

Yay! I really enjoyed that.

Thanks show! :D

I still want to write something that has Toby still searching for his family. I had a plot outline, but I need to change it a bit now that they've explained why Thea is different. And I need to actually write. I can't believe how long it is since I've written something. I am finding it hard to know where to start.

Oh and fact check: Sandy still doesn't know about Toby's gift. Right?

...and I'm actually quite enjoying it. :)
Just shows that I watch for different aspects of the show than some other people, I suppose.

Right now it's 2am and I'm hanging about and posting because I can't sleep. Surprisingly not at all to do with SPN. My brain is fixed on work issues. Weird. Off to try the whole sleep thing again...

What!?!

I guess at least I can move right on in to S4, but really, what?! Not sure I want to.

New episodes! \o/
Loved it! Only ( spoiler )

Toby remains far too pretty! And Oz is too cute. He's the boyfriend I want to have. :)

Edit: Apparently I'm wrong as usual. :P

Just watched Supernatural 7x22, but the thing that strikes me as amusing is that I am totally watching this for the bad guys these days.

The guy that plays Dick Roman is stellar. OMG best bad guy. That smile! Ha!
Then Crowley of course. He's number one best ever bad guy!
And even some of the recurring Leviathans... just great acting. I totally buy their evil plans!

And I love that ( spoiler ) It's just so super evil mad nemesis genius planning, ya know? Love it!

I almost want to vid SPN again, but I don't have unmarked clips or anything, so it'd be a bit messy! Anyone got a good song, something super silly and evil, I could use for a Dick vid? I'll take suggestions and think about it. Not that I haven't got enough vid ideas and promises already going on, but...

Edit: I think I just found a song I have to vid! Bwahahahahahaha! Oh god, emailing this to you ash48!!

:D
