Oh, well, that shit just blew -- but I'm better now.

[hackthis_archive]

Yesterday sucked some major ass. I think the words my friend used to describe this week were 'horrific' and 'scarring' and 'God didn't make a bottle of vodka big enough for this.' Okay, the latter might've been me. In an effort to promote happy-making, however, a few things:

a) I've posted Heroes fic twice this week -- L'Amour N'est Pas Tout, which is Peter/Nathan of the very NC-17 variety, and The Man Who Told Everything, which is Peter, Hiro and Nathan, and so general that your mom could read it.

b) svmadelyn is once again hosting the love-fest known as The Valentine's Day Game, which is about fifty kinds of awesomeness.. It's where you give lots of other people love and then sometimes they give you love too, and everybody is happy and gets warm fuzzies. *pause* Just read the flipping instructions and participate, okay? Do unto others and all that claptrap.

c) Some brilliant giving soul (ella_ventic) has taken it upon themselves to transcribe the cast commentary for Heroes, which I believe is a new thing, or may just have only recently come to my attention because of the fucking AWESOMEness of said commentary this week. If you've been in my LJ in the last two days I've tried to pimp it to you (I have no doubt) because when you have three men talking about BroYay and designer stubble you are SO doing something right.

Tim Kring? You and me, baby. I'm drawing sparkly hearts around your name right now.

ETA: There was something that really fucking bugged me about last night's Friday Night Lights.

WHERE THE FUCK IS LANDRY? IT'S BEEN TWO FUCKING WEEKS?!

I am displeased.

ALSO? MARRIAGE? Oh my god. Can we just get a stupidity intervention right now? Herc, I thought you were supposed to stop him! I adore Herc like mad every time he's on screen, because he truly is the fannish voice (Lyla? BOO!) How could you let this happen? Six, did you not hear ANYTHING Buddy said? I admit Buddy isn't really one to listen to, but shit, sometimes he makes some good points. Where the fuck you gonna live? HOW are you going to live? *stomps off in disgust*

What happened to the Ari Gold love? Ari feels ditched, in his words, 'for some fairy boys who can fly.' And he doesn't do abandonment well, or period.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Ari has gotten more love from me, more consistently, than anybody. Including most of my exes. I gave him George Clooney. That's like -- that's like whoa. He can chill for a bit. He's not forgotten.

I must catch up on your Heroes fics! I have been been all preoccupied, but I just got my brain back today, so I should be able to actually do things for fun.

Not in a million years did I think I would love The Petrelli Show Heroes as much as I do, but it's proving to be a runaway hit in my brain. Bless strike>The Petrelli Show Heroes.

First - Thanks a million to the commentary link. Will read ASAP - I can't *watch* it because the website discriminates against those of us outside US.

Second - Entourage began running on Finnish TV recently and I checked it out because I remembered it was a hackthis fandom. Dude, love. It's hilarious and has a lot of guys insulting each other and kickass cameos, and yes, Ari. I'm so very into it and probably wouldn't have checked it if it hadn't been for your constant pimping/mentions of it. So yeah, another thanks! :D

Which, you know, is just stupid. It's called the World Wide Web, not 'Stops at the Border Web,' but whatever. Also, yay for Entourage love. *is v happy* It only get better, really.

I loved the episode until that stupid fucking proposal. Why do teenagers in love in American television think it's a good idea to get married? IT'S ALWAYS A BAD IDEA.

ALWAYS.

It's not romantic, it's not smart and it's NOT COOL.

Twats. (I hope she says no.)

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

Please, this is LYLA. She totally won't. *sighs* We'll just have to hope that everyone else can smack some sense into them.

Even when they're being retarded teenagers, I still love this show like I'm blind.

[mskatej.livejournal.com]

Yeah I totally do too. It's the best show ever. And I think I might be unhealthily obsessed with Kyle Chandler.

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

That's because he's awesome. And hot. And even MORE hot when he's all stressed and gets those little crinkles between his eyebrows.

I still want to marry Eric & Tami & adopt Julie.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I confess I didn't get the Coach thing for the longest time. I mean he was awesome, sure, duh. But last night there was this moment where he had this look on his face and I was like, oh. OH.

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

At least you get it now. *g*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yes, I was late to the party. I confess. But look, I brought beer!

[azewewish.livejournal.com]

And, for that, you can stay as long as you like. *g*

Here's to living large in Texas. ;)

I'm pretty sure that the direct point of last nights episode was to be as upsetting and aggravating as possible so we could feel like the characters.

But the lack of Landry--we should check what was up with Jesse Plemons a couple of weeks ago. Maybe he got stranded on a desert island or something.

And yes. My love to Herc and Buddy for the sanity they brought to an otherwise insane (and not in the happy sparkly pen way) episode.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure that the direct point of last nights episode was to be as upsetting and aggravating as possible so we could feel like the characters.

I think that may be the most accurate thing said about that entire episode, because, BOY, did it work. Also, Herc is just becoming so insanely awesome, I'm kind of like, how about we rearrange it so that Herc and Landry have at least one scene a week, a piece. Maybe they can meet! Although, that might be some crazy new sort of awesomeness that could make the telly explode. Huh.

[1407graymalkin.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I think that if/when that happens there will be too much grawesome and the screen will go dark because the sheer brilliance of the scene will break all the wiring and tubes in the back of the tv.

[melodylemming.livejournal.com]

The nice thing about FNL, though, is that Jason and Lyla getting married is not going to make everything okay. There will be no denial on anyone's part--except for Lyla's and Jason's--that it's a really fucked up thing to do.

Huh. I'm not sure I've ever trusted the writers of a TV show this much before.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I'm wary. We'll see. Only if they hurry up and bring back Landry, I mean really, WTF?!

[melodylemming.livejournal.com]

I was rewatching some of the earlier episodes today, and in at least one, they just show Landry in a crowd once or twice, and he's got no lines. So it's not a new thing. Anyway, I choose to believe that they can't get through more than one episode in a row without him.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Landry. I want Landry damnit!

[askmehow.livejournal.com]

Can we just get a stupidity intervention right now?
WHAT IS HE THINKING OH MY GOD. How, exactly, are they going to support each other, or keep the marriage going beyond the first day? And Herc, encouraging him! Shoulda taken the implicit advice: dump Lyla and go for Tyra. At least she'd nip marriage proposals in the bud.

Landry better be back soon; the whole odd-couple coolness quotient of the show is completely missing without him.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Landry better be back soon; the whole odd-couple coolness quotient of the show is completely missing without him.

Herc and Jason totally fill this for me, so that balance is okay for me, but the thing where there's just this Landry-shaped hole? Yeah, I'm not feeling that at all.

[romancandles.livejournal.com]

I do not even care about FNL if Landry is not on it. I mean, I still love it, but I'm not downloading it.

IF LANDRY IS IN NEXT WEEK'S EPISODE, PLEASE INFORM ME IMMEDIATELY.

Ahem. Thanks for the transcript-pimp.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Baby, I was so irate on our behalf. The whole episode I kept thinking and then Landry will be in this scene. Well, what about this scene? Well, well, WTF, MAN! And although, Herc is totally Landry's counterpoint for Jason and I love him dearly -- you know, we don't get enough of him either. Less Lyla -- more Herc and Landry!

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

Maybe there's a big Landry story coming up?! That'd be cool. In the meantime, I guess fic will have to account for him in the last couple of weeks. I'm actually guessing though, that his absense mainly has to do with the lack of Tim, and the relative sidelining of Matt, as they're the two he interacts with most. So we're getting the Smash and Tyra storylines now, but I'm positive we'll get some Landry soon. *nods in determined certainty*

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Lan-dry! Lan-dry! Lan-dry! *pickets FNL set* Lan-dry! Lan-dry! I'm just really embittered about this. I didn't even like Landry that much in the beginning but he and Tim are so much comedy gold. And yes we have Jason and Herc filling that role (more Herc, too, dammit!) but god, how about *less* Lyla for a start.

[oxoniensis.livejournal.com]

Yeah, he really came into his own when the tutoring storyline started, and we really got to see him properly, not just as Matt's sidekick.

And I'm sorry to hear you've had such a crap week! Hope you at least have a good weekend, and then a better week next week!

[vylit.livejournal.com]

I missed Landry too, but it was AWESOME to have a Herc around.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Herc is the Landry sub. And he truly is the fandom voice. I just remember he and Jason eating ribs and Jason telling him he'd tried to have sex with Lyla and Herc was all NO! BOO! And in that moment I loved him madly.

[vylit.livejournal.com]

The love does overwhelm a girl. I'm hoping that they give Landry, if not Herc, a regular role on the show next season.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Amen. Actually, let's getpicked up for a second season first and then we can start making our list of demands. I long for the day that you start to write FNL. Just saying. Some people try to be subtle about harassment; I say subtlely should be reserved for immediate family and law enforcement.

I know you have a lot of jeremy piven fans reading your lj - would you be able to plug Sony's poll on what tv series to release - one of the contenders is Cupid! People can vote here (http://www.sonypictures.com/homevideo/tvondvd/poll/)!
