Maps and Mirrors

I've pretty much abandoned Tumblr for the moment as it was eating my life (the sad part is that at some point I will not only go back but have thoughts about catching up, oy), but I wanted to share a photo I discovered there that I just adore to pieces:



Somewhat related, I got this lovely Primeval screencap and have been using it as my desktop,



but I may need to change it because it might just be too distracting. I find myself not only spending an awfully lot of time looking at it, but occasionally surprising myself with the funny noises I make.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Excuse me while I FLAIL FOREVER.

White Collar plus Covert Affairs plus Primeval:

I officially declare Tuesday THE BEST DAY EVER!!!!

( Now for the cut-tagged commentary for White Collar 3x01, Covert Affairs 2x01 and Primeval 5x03 )

I still miss Cutter so much sometimes, but at the same time -

oh Matt.

Your pardon while I wallow in the manpain.

But also my dear boy, did no one ever explain to you that one's jacket is unbuttoned for combat?

I don't know if I can stand the fact that there's only one episode left. You don't even want to know the fic that's percolating in my brain.

Geez, I really haven't been around much lately - I need to get my priorities straight! This is especially true since I realized that my recent habit of staying off the computer on at least the first part of the weekend meant I forgot about fandom_me's blog-a-thon! Woe! I hope y'all had fun and raised a lot of money.

Despite having access to it I never did get around to watching CoE until it aired on BBC America. I'm not going to talk about anything I didn't like about it just yet. I will say that Johnson (Liz May Brice) ended up being a character I could stand to see more of in one form or another.

Primeval is over and there will be no more. I'm afraid there was nothing in the last couple of episodes to elicit particularly strong feelings in me, but I did enjoy it while it was around.

I apparently am going to fall very hard for Being Human. Is this a surprise to anyone?

Warehouse 13 is cute fun, not quite as smart as Eureka but with a similar sensibility. I'm having a hard time remembering to catch the new episodes as they're on Tuesdays, a night I'd gotten used to avoiding That Channel like the plague because of the pro wrestling that Does Not Belong. Worse decision: pro wrestling or the name change? I've tried to decide but then my brain implodes from the extreme suckage involved.

Merlin continues to be so wonderfully happily slashy I can't stand it.

Also, last night's In Plain Sight? Oh Marshall, you poor baby.

How are you all doing, and what's pinging your fannish radar these days?

OK, I know Primeval is just fluff, but that didn't keep me from actually shrieking aloud when Abby said, "Girls don't talk comics."

Uh yes, quite a few of them do. Some of them are pretty cute, too.

More importantly: hey, Hodges and Haines, HOW COULD YOU HAVE ABBY SAY THAT?! How many comic-reading young girls did you just make feel a smidgen more insecure about being themselves by that comment? You idiots.

Even more importantly: that's hardly even a real question. Wolverine, of course.

Oh, and about that reveal ( spoilers! )
