Someone one my flist has a fantastic icon of Cecilia (aka Keira Knightly) from Atonement in that amazing green dress - either sitting on the steps or standing staring into the night... does anyone know the icon I'm talking about?
In other news, I am current on Rookie Blue! You do not know how happy I am to be up-to-date on at least ONE show.
Thoughts (especially on the most recent episode):
-Gail looks unbelievably amazing hungover. Seriously. She looked like a rockstar. (Write that AU, fandom.) And I cannot tell how happy Gail is making me in the last couple of episodes. I liked her and Andy and Traci hanging out, I liked her calling out the bridesmaid on being a good friend, and I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW PLEASED I AM that when Gail started questioning (basically) whether she was a worthy person, she was reassured that yes, she was, even if she didn't know how to express her feelings. (Seriously, do you know how rare that is? For a character like Gail to be reassured in that moment instead of having her realization of her shortcomings reinforced?)
–I'm liking what they've done so far with Andy and Sam. I like the feeling that these two are struggling to find a functional balance in their relationship. Also, Andy running away from Sam during the suspension was very in-character, (although the sky-diving scene was horribly out of place, imho, I thought for a minute that it was an ad.)
–I am really enjoying the arc with Dov's shooting. (Sidenote: can we talk about Dov and Chris' old men tastes? Because seriously - licorice and ginger ale? And you just know that Dov likes the gross, black licorice.) I have pretty much no sympathy for the sister, even though I should. He was robbing the store and shot a cop. Cause and effect. (Although I am aware of the HUGE racial issues surround that situation, and I can absolutely see how infuriating Dov -who is so very white and so very young and so very male - would be for the sister.)
–I am about ready to start fast forwarding through Noelle's scenes. I am so done with everything about her storyline. Look, I know I have no patience with pregnancies in the first place, so I had very little sympathy with her 'wah, wah, I want a baby' especially because I have very unpopular opinions about artificial insemination and biological children. But I have NO sympathy for her 'wah, wah, I'm preggers, can't go out of the street!' angst. It's like she did not think through actually having a child AT ALL.

Edit: I should have some other icons of her in the dress if you'd like me to post them here. Also the person who made the icon deleted their account so there's no one to credit.

I'm sorry about the loss of paid account - I am totally addicted to my icons at this point.

:D
I actually decided to not pay for an account anymore because of all of LJs douchery and the fact that I'm not quite as active these days. I do wish I had more icons when I comment in communities and such but oh well.
