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.

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?

Totally one of best, yes, and very.

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

omg. totally hooked on FNL. ::grabby hands::

want season to be over purely so i can get said hot little (grabby) hands on a boxset of dvds.

eee.

riggins! gah. lovelovelove. this is so unexpected. ::g::

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

Friday Night Lights FTW!

It's the best drama on tv by miles. AND it's got lots and lots of hot guys in it: I'm in love with Jason, Tim, Matt and Coach. Oh, and Coach's wife, Tami. Who is nine billion shades of awesome. I honestly can't think of a single way that it could be better, and I don't think I can say that about any other show I watch.

Justin is probably my favorite character on UB, like the rest of the characters are great, but Justin just sort of seals the deal. And you can't make me choose between Daniel and Henry! You can't! I like both of them, so either way the show goes it's a win-win situation for me.

Re: Ugly Betty...

Betty/Henry: Like, duh. It's just something I know.

Walter/bus: The day his whining ends forever, rainbows will appear worldwide.

Hilda: *replaces her shampoo with Nair as retribution for not telling Betty about Henry's phone call*

Daniel/Amanda: Here's a pairing that smacked me out of the blue. Someone much wiser than I will have to explain to me how Amanda became sympathetic. Besides, Eric Mabius already said it was the death of the original (Colombian) show when Betty married her boss, so I think Daniel/Betty is off the table for now. (Thank god.)

Christina/dialogue: As in, it would be nice if she had some. And if she treated Betty consistently. In the pilot, she was super-nice, but ever since, she's been weird and curt. *is confused*

Justin: Could not be any more fabulous.

Wilhelmina: See entry for Justin.

Marc: Is totally awesome.

Makeover?: I kind of like Betty where she is now, with her sorta-controlled hair and less-schlumpy clothes, but not, y'know, FASHIONY. (It is *so* a word, shut up.) I like to see her resist how much she's going to be affected by working at a fashion magazine.

Jason is getting hotter by the week. Soon he's going to melt my tiny screen.

Betty and Henry. SO SO SO FABULOUS. And absolutely, keep it real. I look around for UB fic sometime, and it really disappoints me that the majority of it seems to be Betty/Daniel, but to get him, she always has to become pretty.

Oh, Ugly Betty, how I love her and everyone else on that show. I think I would fiercely ship Betty/Daniel if I wasn't so busy shipping Betty/Henry. And yes, Justin is the LOVE.

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.

On an additional note, I am truly thrilled that the writers have made me really love everyone, even characters I hated in the beginning.

Other people watch The Wire! OMG. But yeah, I would've been behind the sofa if I hadn't been watching it on my computer. Randy and Dukie and Michael all broke my heart, but I was gleeful that Namond got adopted. Bodie made me cry, because out of nowhere I started to love him.

How is Omar so awesome?
I wonder that question myself every day. No really, I do. I've been trying to do this mental character study of him ever since I started watching, but he's just so awesome that it's nearly impossible to do him justice.

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*.

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.

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.
