MY SHOWWWWW IS BACK

( the good wife 3x01 )

I kind of feel like I should capslock less about The Good Wife, because... it's such an excellent and adult show. But I am basically just full of squee and love and joy about it. Holy shit so good.

Summary: ( An exercise in the art of subtext. )

I just didn't have the time/brain to watch The Good Wife yesterday, and I almost didn't have brain today either, but I watched it anyway. And I still might not have brain, but I have to say stuff about it anyway, because WOW.

( stuff )

How has this not yet been renewed? More to the point, how is it the lowest rated scripted show on CBS Sunday-Thursday? This is why we can't have nice things! Because we break them!

SO 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!

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. ;)

Okay, I don't have time to write up actual posts, but, GUYS. TALK TO ME ABOUT THE GOOD WIFE.

Goddamn such a good show.

Off to bake stuff! :D

SO MUCH AWESOME.

First, and briefly, because I so don't have the time to outline all the awesome: The Good Wife. This week's episode, man, amazing on so many levels. Why is everyone not watching this show? Also, DAMN, red is really Alicia's colour. I would like them to do more episodes where everyone is in formalwear.

Second and more importantly, however, zulu wrote me more fic! The Circumference of Comfort is Doctor Who, River/Amy, R, and AWESOME. It gets points for being adorable AND points for not trying to pretend Rory doesn't exist! Now the fic I owe in return will have to be particularly fabulous, but I'll worry about that later and just enjoy this now. Go read, and tell her to write more Who stuff! *g*

And now bedtime so I can get up super early, which is not awesome, but oh well. :D

News flash: The Good Wife? Still awesome. Awesome enough that even given all the other stuff I am watching it is the only one I feel moved to blog about.

( 2.02 Double Jeopardy )

I had a pickup and delivery scheduled for sometime between 10 and 4 and both things have now occurred. This means I could go to the seminar thingie on campus... which is kind of a mixed blessing, haha. OH WELL, I should make a good show of it (so I have an excuse to wear my brand new Disney Villains makeup out in the real world)... and then finish my seminar planning. *meeps*

In conclusion, show, you are made of hearts. NEXT WEEK PLS.

( so thanks for the cheer, I hope you didn't mind me bending your ear )

No more new episodes of The Good Wife for a MONTH? How am I going to wait that long omg?



ALSO, the amount of chemistry that Kalinda has with ANYTHING THAT MOVES is seriously amazing. *fans self*
