Parks 5x05



Okay, first of all, I was totally unspoiled for the proposal and am *so glad* about that because it was a glorious, glorious surprise.

It was perfect. Everything about that was perfect. From Leslie needing to stop Ben because she needed to remember everything to saying yes before the question was out... it was glorious.

I was so happy for Leslie, my stomach was literally hurting.



Arrow 1x01-1x03



I've been enjoying this enough to watch the first couple of episodes. It's a little campy but the main character is hot, so.

(Also, this show seems to LOVE having characters shirtless and either scarred or tattooed - the art department must really enjoy that.)

As promised, this is nice (i.e. slightly inappropriate) chemistry between Oliver and his sister Thea (who's nick-name used to be 'Speedy' so I have hope that she and Laurel will end up being vigilantes later in the season) and absolutely no chemistry with Laurel.

Laurel actually has nice chemistry with Oliver's best friend, who I really like (although, seriously, I could not believe that the show wanted me to buy that there was ANY reason why Laurel and Tommy shouldn't have been sexin' it up beyond Laurel's low opinion of Tommy). I don't think cheating ex-bf gets a way in who old friend fucks, you know what I mean?

I really like Laurel's father being the only cop in the city - I really like that actor and he's amusing to watch (also, I'm a sucker for good i.e. interesting father-daughter relationships) and I do like that everyone is emotionally entangled with everyone else.

I get a bit annoyed with Oliver for killing nameless thugs and then giving the rich assholes calling the shots a chance to publicly repent and live - just kill the assholes, god! - but he does understand the importance of ice cream, so.

I just recently finally watched all of Parks & Rec for the first time and love it! Loved the proposal and wasn't expecting it. And I loved Leslie's Rosie the Riveter costume. :D

Leslie and her feminism is something I am just ENDLESSLY in love with.
