tellitslantSO TIRED, goddamn. Trying to catch up on sleep after like two weeks of busy-stress-ness. I was probably not actually awake enough to watch this week's tv, but I did anyways, and in brief: yay!
BRILLIANT. Watching Will and Diane fight last week was so painful, it was delightful to see them come back together this week. They're doing things like adults! It's great. I particularly enjoyed the second meeting ("We agreed I wasn't leaving" / "Yes, but we were both lying." <3) and look forward to the playing-out of their vendetta against Bond. But mostly I'm just glad they're not fighting any more! I have to admit I was not expecting the show to go this way.
I love Kalinda more and more. She sent Alicia against Blake. Way to use the tools in your arsenal there, Kalinda. Totally brilliant. Interesting to see the dynamic between her and Will this time around, too.
Goddamn, Matt Bomer is so attractive it should not be allowed. With the vest, and the open collar, and, guh. Hi. Also, we get Elizabeth back, and not on greenscreen! That made me very happy. Yay for Burke's Seven. :D
I really wasn't watching this as closely as I should have been, but enjoyed it thoroughly anyway. Though I feel like Peter losing his job is a card that could be played too often? Or have I just been reading it in fic? Enjoyed the con - er, sting - and everyone in the criminal underworld rallying to help Mozzie. Loved Elizabeth saving the day. Not a huge fan of the new gal - Sarah? - but she's okay. And Peter in Clark Kent mode was delightful. I have hope that this will return to season one levels of awesomeness.
In other news, comics fandom is being so good to my queer little fangirl self! Okay it, SUCKS that Batwoman #1 has been pushed back to April. Sucks a LOT. But I guess I'd rather have a long wait for #1 than deal with long waits between issues. Still a little cranky about that, but could be worse. (Also, JH Williams says that they have two years of ideas/plans, so I like the sound of that.)
I am super thrilled that Anne Hathaway will be playing Selina Kyle in the third Batman. There are not a lot of people who could replace Michelle Pfeiffer in my Selina-loving heart, but Anne is awesome, we've seen in Get Smart that she's decent at action stuff, and I am holding out hope that this means there will be a female character who is not evil or dead by the end of the movie. I still haven't seen Inception so have no opinion on Tom Hardy, but I am pleased that Bane will be included because maybe some of the attention will trickle down to Secret Six...?
Also, stills from X-Men: First Class look promising, especially January Jones as Emma Frost. Little-known fact, Emma Frost was named after Emma Peel and had her original costume based on one from The Avengers, and so I have been particularly enjoying all the commentators saying that her outfits in this film are reminiscent of Diana Rigg. (No, I have not yet figured out a way to work this fact into my thesis.)
Last but not least, I was over at some friends to play the new DC Universe Online game the other night. LOVE.IT. My character design is based off Spider-Woman, which feels kind of silly (because she's a Marvel heroine) but is highly entertaining to watch. I am a villain entirely 100% solely because as a villain you can choose to be mentored by Circe, and Circe is voiced by Michelle Forbes. I'm pretty terrible, but it's fun times.
Aaaand now I have to go write. But this was fun while it lasted. ;)
