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.
