It's Almost Midnight I Have Nothing Pithy to Put Here

[ozmissage]

1. My sweet drabblethon fic is officially done and I’m officially afraid it’s horrible.

2. Flash Forward, I’m beginning to sense a pattern with your story-telling, it goes something like this: creepy opening, nothing happens, nothing happens, redundant flashback sequence, nothing happens, nothing happens, creepy/WTF ending and cue credits. That being said, I have thoughts:

- DOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m not even going to apologize for that because I’ve been waiting to do it for four episodes. My woobie! He’s back! Guh, I’ve missed him so and hey look he and Norrington are possibly evil. This is going to rock.

-Olivia, I know you’re kind of stressed out about potentially falling for Norrington but that’s no reason to be completely reckless and irrational. That being said, does it make me a terrible person to say that I was hoping the guy was going to die just so we would have some definitive proof that these flashforwards are not set in stone (I fear we have another whatever happened, happened situation on our hands.)

-Mark’s little egg dance was adorable and I kind of wish that had been the whole hour.

-Props for the opening.

-Props taken back for making Mark say, “I don’t want to be in the dark anymore.” Then turn on a light (thank you, thank you I’ll be here all week.)

-Dimitri I still love you most of all.

- Where was Zoe this week? You can’t give me Zoe and then take her away like that and where has Alex Kingston gotten off to? Bring them back show.

-That young doctor guy is super annoying. Why is he so cheerful? I kind of hope he’s completely wrong about his future and it’s actually something awful just so he’ll stop being so chipper. Um..this show is making me a horrible person.

3. I think I’ve broken up with Glee. I haven’t watched it in two weeks and I don’t feel terribly guilty about it. I love Will and Emma and Rachel, but the dueling pregnancies storyline left an awful taste in my mouth. It was just so soap operatic and it kind of took all of the fun out of the show for me. Maybe I’ll try again later in the season, but at the moment I’m having far too much fun watching Modern Family to go back.

4. I’m going to start working on my crossover exchange fic this weekend! I’m so excited you guys. My prompt rocks.

5. I want to write Halloween fic or possibly just read some. I’m in the mood for something spooky. Anyone got any good ghost stories?

1. Awesome, thanks. I actually just reread everything after I left that comment, and realized I needed to send her a link. I kind of want to put it up today, since I rarely get to the computer on Saturdays and it's kind of a bitch, but I don't want my recipient to see it by accident. I dunno -- I may do it right before suppertime and say whatever, since I'd rather be early than late.

Oooooh, Mad Men! I have to admit I've never watched the show, but the setting and style alone would lend itself to some really cool writing, I think.

Hahah, don't get your expectations up too high (especially since I think you were a Cordy/Angel fan, if I'm not mistaken?). It's ... okay. I rejigged some stuff so that I don't hate it anymore, but I'm still not in love with it. I just hope my person likes it!

2. Yeah, I agree -- by the end I think she was just doing it to prove a point (to both herself and other doctor) and that's just dumb. I do like her overall, though, and her refusal to just accept and wait around for the future, though I wish they would stick more with the doctor-y stuff and not stupid triangle romance.

LOL, I know. Even his name's sad sack-y! ;P He's divorced, and his wife was killed during the flashforward; apparently she was their son's primary caretaker, so he's not sure how to deal with the autism. I'm a little fuzzy on the details and his angsty, music montage didn't make things any clearer. LOOOOL, x million. Yeah, that really clarified things, eh? ;D

3. It was -- and a subplot about featuring the club's minorities that ironically got put on the backburner. I liked that they called out Will on his tendency to keep the white kids front and centre, but then to have it all be a moot point anyway? Hilarious in a terrible way.

Modern Family is so good! Just watched it the other night. I have to say, though, I think Cougartown is my absolute favourite new show, which I was not expecting at all. It is SO effing funny, if you haven't watched it already.
