All the chatter, all the time.

I was going to post some blathering here about how I've evolved from a big fandom lover to a small fandom lover*, but the fact of the matter is that I don't even care about size of the fandom as long as the quality of the material is ace and other people see it too (and are thinking about writing it). Mostly I just want people to squee with, so.

The Wire people, did that season finale have you crawling behind the sofa too? How is Omar so awesome? How are Kima and Carver so hot? Did you vote for Carcetti for Mayor?

Ugly Betty viewers: Daniel and Sofia? Daniel & Betty? Betty & Henry? How fabulous is Justin? Makeover or keep it real?

Friday Night Lights lovers, is our show really the best show on the air right now or am I just hallucinating? Is Jason Street getting hotter from week to week? How badly is Smash screwing up?

Discuss.


*Size is relative to the number of people watching, squeeing, and churning out meta/fic/recs/etc, not the column inches of your dick or wank.

I have the final four episodes of this season of The Wire TiVoed, and I haven't been able to watch them because I'm so worried about everyone. Silly, yes, but true too. I just...oh, RANDY! I worry for him at random moments during my day, for Heaven's sake. The Wire is truly astounding. And Omar is the awesomest, but Bunk is the man.

All this Wire love that I didn't know existed really makes me feel good. Like really. YAYE.

Also, you have a Bubbles icon! YAYE!

I have to send love back to alexandral for that, as she made it. I do love my Bubs icon.

You haven't seen it? I didn't spoil you in any way did I? *frets* It was just -- sometimes I don't watch it, or pay attention, as religiously as I should simply because you know, it's a hard show to watch. There is nothing pretty or shiny about The Wire (although there is some hotass), it's brutal and hard all the time.

I am 100% in favor of keeping it real, which doesn't mean that I'm opposed to Betty developing her own style, which I think is a natural process for any young person making their way in the world for the first time. But I'd hate to see her get a makeover that is forced on to her in any way, and I'd hate to see her lose her personal simplicity.

WORD!

Ugly Betty rules beyond the telling of it. It's weird, because I DID write that Betty/Daniel fic, but recently, it feels like they've been toning down any hints of shippiness, so that when I look at them now I mostly see a platonic relationship. WOE.

But that doesn't even matter, because Henry/Betty rocks so hard. Actually, EVERYTHING rocks so hard. If someone could explain to me why the heck her family is so Team Walter, I would really appreciate it. Bah.

But there is so much love for this show. SO MUCH LOVE.

Nah, no worries, I skimmed the bits that seemed finale-related. Then I saw it tonight, so I'm good. And now I can say in response to your comments: yes; I don't know he just is; there are so many hot people on this show oh my goodness; and yes, tho now I'm disappointed in him. Also, posted a review on my LJ, if you're interested. I got pretty into it, rather than just my usual "OMG I LOVE THE WIRE!!!1!etc."

LOL, I love it how you have everything neatly lined out already. You're probably right about it, too.

I think the reason why I like Amanda so much is that we had our own telenovela version of the theme here in Germany, and 'our' version of Amanda was a lot meaner to the heroine, and a lot less cool.

Also, that scene in the last episode, where the model Daniel was fooling around with suggested Daniel, her and Amanda 'work something out', and Amanda didn't seem all that disinclined by the idea of a threesome? That was just awesome.
