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.

Ugly Betty has, oddly enough, come down to my love for the Terrible Twosome. And for Betty and Justin and the dad, of course, but I get the biggest kick out of Marc and Amanda.

I haven't watched this season of The Wire yet, but I'll be happy to squee with you over the first three seasons. I'm hoping to gorge on season four after Christmas.

However, I can 100% agree with you on Jason Street getting hotter every episode. He should be pissed off all the time - it's a good look for him. By which I totally mean, HOT.

Ugly Betty: Justin is everything I want in a little brother. Mostly because I need the fashion tips. And if they makeover Betty this season, it won't leave much for following seasons (which there had better be). Also, Betty cannot date Henry, because I need to. Badly.

*rereads this* Man, I'm a terribly selfish television viewer.

Totally one of best, yes, and very.

I also might be FIXATING on how hot Tim Riggins is in cheer drag.

Daniel and Amanda, actually. I like Amanda more and more every episode, and her unrequited love for Daniel (which she's totally in denial over) is so sad. I keep wanting to push Daniel at her. Betty/Henry works for me, though I could see Betty/Daniel - but only after a makeover.

I love everybody in turns on UB, but truly Justin is my linchpin. And the terrible twosome. And Salma Hayek's hotness.

Oh, you haven't seen it yet? I think this season was the best out of all of them. Well, except for season one, because season one was just like whoa. [waves hands vaguely]

As for FNL? Sweet baby Jesus, when Tim was in Jason's room and Jason was like 'I can't deal with you' I was all, 'noooooooooooooooooooooooo! but yes!'

It's not your imagination, it IS the best show on right now. Street gets hotter, Riggins' muscles get bigger and Smash is going to crash down to earth in a bad, bad way.

FNL just keeps blowing my mind--and Street is right at the top of the list.

I love the couples that are developing, but the love story between Street and Riggins (as portrayed on the show) is truly the best I've seen in a long time. Long live bromance!

The force is strong with that one.

When they did the powder puff thing I pretty much fell out of the chair laughing, and then Smash and Waverly (who he genuinely likes), and Jason and Lyla and Tim. Oh it's so deliciously wrong and messed up. I don't want to like Lyla! And yet, I mean, yeesh. FNL is totally not afraid to step up and show you how screwed you are as a teenager right now. Mostly I just want to pet Jason a lot and tell him he's very pretty when he's so angry. I can't write more FNL right now though, I just wrote three ficlets last week! *resists the draw of surly Jason*

Apparently there's going to be an FNL marathon on Bravo on December 30th. I am ALL over that.

Season 1, by far, has been my favorite. It was just so visceral & raw - like 'Oz', only in a different way.

Dude, when Tim just showed up, I was all flailing. I'm so in love with their BFF love that it scares me. It's not the same as the woobie-BFF love of Matt & Landry, but, God. How can anyone NOT root for Jason & Tim to get back to where they were, y'know?

I do feel bad for Amanda, and yet, I get a sort of schadenfreude glee because she's so mean to Betty. I think in season two Betty will fall for Daniel and then she'll get over it, and then in Season three (don't you like how I plan ahead), he'll fall and she'll be with someone else and then after that it's anybody's ball game.

Definite Daniel & Betty, but way, way down the line.

Justin is SO FABULOUS! I want an entire episode of the gay mentor adventures of Justin and Marc!

And definite keeping it real, though she should have a temporary makeover one of these days.

And I'm all about the Betty/Henry in the interim.

Last night my TV almost exploded when Tim just randomly showed up at Jason's bedroom door like he had his own house key. *pause* Maybe he does! I mean they're BFF, and Tim's pretty much a latchkey kid with Billy working all the time. I'm sure Mrs Street is distressed by this. *almost bounces out of chair*

You and I are exactly on the same wavelength I just told [livejournal.com profile] sandrine I think in season two Betty will fall for Daniel and then she'll get over it, and then in Season three (don't you like how I plan ahead), he'll fall and she'll be with someone else and then after that it's anybody's ball game.

*gasps* Ohhhhhh.

PREACH!

EXACTLY! And it really doen't hurt that they seem to be sharing cast members either.

Dude, when Tim just showed up, I was all flailing. I'm so in love with their BFF love that it scares me. It's not the same as the woobie-BFF love of Matt & Landry, but, God. How can anyone NOT root for Jason & Tim to get back to where they were, y'know?

Tim + Jason are just... they are clearly so lost without each other. See, if Lyla was a smart girl, she'd spend her energies getting them back together and then revel in a job well done and get sucked up in the blowback. Matt + Landry are woobielicious.

It wouldn't surprise me, maybe not having his own key, but definitely knowing where the 'spare' is outside. I really hope to see Tim at Jay's for Tuesday night dinner. The BFF/Slashtaciness of the two of them KILLS me.

Jason Street is totally getting hotter each episode. I did not expect that.

And Tim! Tim continues to win my heart a little more with each episode. I also did not expect that.

I'm waiting for it all to blow up in Smash's face. It will be so good.

Damn this show for making me kinda like Lyla. I still don't like the actress's line delivery, though.

I wish UB wasn't on against The Office. But I read the recaps and I think I'll probably start downloading it when it starts up again. At which time I am sure I will struggle with choosing between Daniel and Henry. Woo!

As for FNL, it's very awesome but it hits too many of my angst buttons, therefore it is not on my watching list. Yes, I know I am a wuss.

In the beginning I didn't really get it. I mean Tim was the hot one in their relationship, he had the angst, and then Jason just -- flames. Flames of hotassery everywhere.

I am so afraid for Smash. Like a lot.

I don't want to like Lyla, but the girl, you know, proof positive that nobody has everything.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2006-12-13 07:17 pm (UTC)(link)
FNL, baby! I cannot believe you are not watching it; it has your favorite things: sports and hot men. You are letting down the team here.
