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.

Having not seen either the newest FNL or The Wire season finale, I do want to say that while I truly like FNL, The Wire owns me. You might even say pwns me. Every week (and I'm so sad it's done again already), I get so physically into the show- like when Michael makes a bad decision, I'm whimpering no! stop! Or when Lester is doing anything, I think yay! I cover my eyes, I cringe, I cheer, I cry, I do everything beginning with the letter c, apparently. Best show I've ever seen. Ever.

I wanted to say so when I commented about FNL, but I wasn't sure you watched that too. So *Wirehigh5*.

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.

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."
