A lot of really pretty Aya/Razer art has been showing up on my dash, which I have steadfastly been refusing to reblog, until I came across this.

I am always pretty awful about going to bed like a reasonable person but it's been much worse lately partially due to the fact that I've been having terrible, terrible dreams pretty much every night. Or when I take a late afternoon nap. Also, I gave myself the worst manicure yesterday and had to spend, like, twenty minutes trying to get two coats of red off my nails after my manicure got chipped all to hell in less than twenty-four hours. So even though I soaked my fingers in nail polish remover, my cuticles are all hideously hang-nailed and dyed red, so it's questionable as to if there was any improvement at all. Basically, my hands look like I murdered someone and didn't do a good job covering my tracks.

Now, on to what you are interested in – TV!



[+] I always forget how much I enjoy Elementary until I'm watching Elementary. I was about three episodes behind, so I was able to charge through those, and I just really love that this Sherlock is affected by what people think of him. I love that while Gregson took Holmes back as a consultant, he didn't like it and he made it clear that Holmes had lost his trust. In "the Deductionist" I was thrilled to see that Holmes himself fears for his future and believes he might self-annihlate. His bitterness that the profile was able to predict his struggles with addiction when he didn't was aces.

I keep saying the same things each time I talk about Elementary but in my defense, a genius detective with feelings and flaws who is actually held accountable for his action is still novel.




[+] Young Justice has become the show that I watch while I tumblr. I mean, it's close enough to the end that I'm going to finish watching the show's run, but I am so done with it. I really loved the episode where Artemis and M'gann heal Kaulder, and Conner epically reads Dick the riot act about not sharing information, but the most recent episodes were epically boring. Seriously, how do the writers think we're going to care about these lame assholes? The only thing of 'interest' was how fucking much I hate Mal/Karen. Mal finally got it through his thick skull that Karen was more interested in doing hero shit than dating but no.... Karen just had to be 'oh, no, I really love you' which I call TOTAL BULLSHIT on. Regardless of what the writers imagine happen during the timeskip, the ENTIRE TIME, we've actually seen these characters interacting, Karen has been Just Not That Into Him and he's been unwilling to get it. Why can't a girl prioritize her school and her career over her FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL BOYFRIEND?






[+] Green Lantern had a solid, enjoyable episode this Saturday. Razer, once again, has the best lines: "By the way, if we do explode, you two are acceptable souls to be vaporized with." Awww, that's adorable. 

I really loved Hal and company having to deal with the rings being out of power and the issues with language, even before the rings completely died (like rhyme not translating).

Best moment, though, was Razer's epic bitch-please face when Kilowog tossed him the manhunter head. I love how Hal and Kilowog seem to be forgetting that he's not actually a green lantern. (ONE DAY, BB. Or maybe not.)

When Razer strolled back in commenting that his lantern repairing itself was convenient,  I was like, 'damn right it's convenient
 - that boy has a clockwork girlfriend to save, he doesn't have time to steal a new lantern' and by 'save,' I mean 'humbly petition for forgiveness.'

(Also, what everyone had in their pockets was hilarious. Especially Razer having more weapons than he had fingers.)




So, apparently next episode is called

"love is a battlefield" which I first thought was going to be about Aya and Razer but realized is much more likely to be about Hal and Carol.




[+] Once Upon A Time has been kind of slow, lately, and the way they handle Henry's status as an adopted kid continues to be the worst (breaking news, right?) but I keep sticking around for things like: evil!Charming's harlot of the week being Jack the Giant Killer and real!Charming and Snow running around in Storybrooke with gun and a bow and arrow. Seriously, Snow with her black tights and short skirt and archery was the most sexy!adorable thing ever.

I really do not care about anything related to Mr. Gold. Because I am a terrible person, I laughed when he tried to restore Belle memory by kissing her and then I go really upset about who let him into the hospital room of a injured woman.

In other news, Cartoon Network canceled Young Justice and Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

I couldn’t care less about Young Justice – I think that the writers made some very dumb creative choices for the second season that the show has yet to recover from (and now never will) and the scheduling dickery was classic ‘make a show hard to find and follow; justify cancelation’ from the network. I am grinding my teeth about Green Lantern, though. I have/had hope that
spoilers for the most recent GL episode )


On the subject of ironic timing, I have actually been meaning to talk about times that I am grateful when shows were canceled because sometimes I am (NOT THIS TIME, THOUGH).

These are the shows that I am grateful were canceled because it meant that I had a basically complete arc of a show I loved all the way through. (The Sarah Conner Chronicles are not listed because I still cannot believe that Fox didn’t give us a season three; Young Justice is not listed because I am so annoyed with the current season my previous love is already tainted; Green Lantern *could potentially be listed* if
GL spoilers again )
before the curtain drops.)

So, without further ado, shows where cancelation was a secret blessing:
  • Wonderfalls
  • Firefly
  • Legend of the Seeker
  • Dark Angel

I feel like the universe make this episode of Green Lantern extra-awesome to make up for the whirlpool of suck that was last Saturday's Young Justice.

Which is to say, OH MY GOOD, GREEN LANTERN. HOW AWESOME WAS THAT?

~Green Lantern and Young Justice were taken off Cartoon Networks schedule last minute and for no stated reason. I've heard a rumor that they won't be coming back until JANUARY. I have no fucking idea what CN is thinking.

~Regarding Marvel casting for the SHIELD tv show.... you're just fucking with me, aren't you?

I feel like Coulson's schrodinger's cat at this point.


~Mary Elizabeth Winstead is definitely NOT who I'd pick to be Agent 13... but I've been wanting to see more of that actress since both Deathproof and Live Free or Die Hard (I hated Scot Pilgrim, didn't realize she was in that, let us not speak of the horror that is that movie) so I'd be cool with her joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Same with Josh Holloway.

~I saw Chronicle this evening which... I don't know if I can recommend, on the grounds that I didn't actually enjoy it very much, but as a portrait of how someone becomes a super villain, it's very psychologically real.

But really, the best discovery was (via [livejournal.com profile] allisnow again) learning that RAZER AND WALLY WEST HAVE THE SAME VOICE ACTOR.

Young Justice



I so don't care about Roy - any iteration of him - so most of this episode was pretty blah for me.

Things I did like:
  • Chesire naming her daughter with Artemis' middle name.
  • M'gann apparently being more concerned with Conner not getting a party than her kidnapped boyfriend.
  • the hint that the Red Hood arc happened in this universe.
  • more hints about how bad the future Bart comes from is.
....that's about it. Seriously, I was expecting this episode to be completely gut-wrenching and about how Artemis' dying is The Worst and instead I got 'Roy is an angry dude, take three.


Green Lantern



Despite not having either of my two favorite characters in it, this was a solid episode. And I will always have a lot of respect for Carol's position and the classy way she stated it.



Once Upon A Time



I had a lot of doubts about season two of OUAT - but I found the opening episode immensely reassuring. IMMENSELY.

I am VERY interested in that dude in New York in the opening, I can't wait to find out why Regina doesn't remember Jefferson, and I cannot wait to see Emma and Snow having adventures together. (Less thrilled about Aurora and Mulan, because the set-up for those two was EPICALLY LAME.)

I cannot wait to find out who Whale is. And Charming's reaction to finding out about that one night stand was PRICELESS.

I was DYING OF DELIGHT at all the fantastic Regina/Emma. And yeah, I know it's shipper goggles, but Emma not letting them kill Regina, being the one to check that she's okay, standing over Regina to protect her from the wraith... all of that made me very happy. And frankly, the scene at the end where Snow, Charming, Regina, and Emma were fighting together was basically everything I have ever wanted from this show.

This is how I feel about the Rumpelstiltskin/Belle relationship:

God, I want to go back and slap the me that shipped them super-hard eight months ago.

And finally, I found this promo pic:

tumblr_mb5cshBQso1qjqko2o1_500

It gives me more Snow and Regina AU feelings. God, so much to love about this - how happy and badass they look, Regina's drinks + Snow's apple, THAT THEY ARE BOTH WEARING PANTS, Regina's epic boots of epicness.

In a hugely rare occurrence, I have finished all aired episodes of Green Lantern (except the one that will be airing in an hour, not that I will be watching it, because I will be AT WORK) in thirty-six hours and now I have some slightly more coherent thoughts than my last post on this subject.

Within twenty-four hours of that, a RL friend also recommended Green Lantern: The Animated Series.

Then I watched the pilot.
