Stephen Colbert is love.

[hackthis_archive]

1. Is anybody else out there into Greek? If not, WHY NOT?! SERIOUSLY? I know when you think ABC Family you think "as if!", but if The O.C. had been less stupid or Gossip Girl wasn't so much about the wicked awesome clothes they might be as awesome as Greek!

Greek has m/m slash and f/f slash and het and gen and anything in between. There are black people and white people and Indian people and gay people and dorks, and it's SO college, but the good parts, and some of the bad parts. At least go to the website and click around. Discover your love of Cappie.

I DEFY you not to love Cappie.

If Seth Cohen hadn't been quite such a pompus tool and slightly cool, he would've... not been Cappie. He would be Rusty. Actually, Rusty's not cool as Cappie, either, but he wants to be. And his heart's in the right place. And Calvin! Gay and black and a wicked ex-hockey star and getting laid by adorable guys with dimples! Also, if Chuck and Nate from Gossip Girl had a baby, he would be Evan. Evan's kind of a tool. And for a change, even the girls are awesome too! At first it seems like Casey is a vapid cow, but she's got real heart, plus it turns out that Rebecca is the scheming whore and Ashleigh, you know, not bright, but her heart is in the right place. How can I not pimp this show?

All I'm saying is give peace a change give the show a chance. You can watch episodes right on the website! Just try it. Would I steer you wrong?


2. Gossip Girl is back tonight! Hooray! Go read this article in the meantime.


3. Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles fans, if you haven't read the things you know about a person by svilleficrecs I don't know what you're doing with your life. Seriously. It's Derek/John, and it's hot and so fucking twisted and so perfectly realized. When I finished reading it all I could think was "That's SO canon" and just, um, yeah.


3a. I had a thought after reading the above story for the second time (yes, I like it that much) that since Christian Bale has been cast as John Connor for the new series of Terminator movies (did you not know that?) that my brain has to reconcile Christian Bale having sex with Brian Austin Green. I just -- I can't see this. I think there's smoke coming out of my ears. Can ANYONE see this? Can you draw me a picture? Or a manip. Or um, something? We needs it precious! There'll be pron at the end of it for you!


ETA: #4: I don't supposed anyone would have a copy of the new Jason Mraz album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. lying around that they could upload for the class? How about just some Jason Mraz live? Help a sister out!

Is Greek available for download? 'Cause you've been pimping it for a while now, so I guess it's not just a phase and I should actually try it.

You can watch episodes right on the website (http://abcfamily.go.com/abcfamily/path/section_Shows+Greek/page_Video-Greek_Viewing_Party)! Just try it. Would I steer you wrong?

My roommate works on Greek. I'm not sure I can be fannish about something my roommate works on. Is there an official code of honor about things like this?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Is there an official code of honor about things like this?

Yes. It's called "support the person who pays half the rent." Seriously, I know what it's like to be too close to a project and want to protect yourself, but I am fannishly obligated by the code of "If it's Actually Good, Tell People!" to pimp this show.

I find it pretty difficult to get into soap-like things. Well, I might like most at first but in the long run, I tend to be turned off. However, a hackthis rec is always something else, so I'll check out the first eps of Greek. :)

And I just watched that Colbert ep from last week with the candidates + Edwards. Talk about hilarious.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I would (biasedly) say that Greek more of a serial that a soap, but um, it's still really good! Do not make up your mind before you see it!

Also, Stephen = love.

Christian Bale having sex with Brian Austin Green

... Uhm. Excuse me for a moment. NGGGGGHGHHHHH ADFGDFGKAFDHADFHKAFDHAFD!

Thanks for breaking my brain there.

Did you see that The Sarah Connor Chronicles seem to have been renewed (http://community.tvguide.com/blog-entry/TVGuide-Editors-Blog/Ausiello-Report/Ausiello-Scoop-Fox/800037914)? :D!

And I'm so there with you on the Greek love.

Greek is love.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I did see that has been renewed, I hope they make BAG a regular. BAG. Man, that will never not be weird.

[speshope.livejournal.com]

Greek! My roommate and watched it when it was airing on ABC this summer, but lost track of it! Cappie is so much love that it hurts. Thanks for the link so I can see more!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

You are welcome! Enjoy the Cappie!

Your icon is me watching TCR. Every night.

I posted about Greek recently, because how is it that nobody else is watching it? I love this show so much. I want there to be a Cappie/Casey/Evan OT3 happy ending with babies. It's disturbing how much, actually. Why is there no fic? Why why why? LOL. Is it greedy to want Cappie and Evan and Calvin?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I've been trying to get people to watch Greek for a while. Nobody seems interested. It's very sad. I can do Casey/Cappie or Casey/Evan or Evan/Cappie -- the lived together freshman year! -- but not all three. I fricking LOVE Calvin.

[heidi8.livejournal.com]

Rocket Man (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=DXGM5WC1), performed by jason Mraz. Hope you didn't already have it.

And Christian Bale? In Terminator?

Okay, that sounds very, very pretty.

I actually haven't seen any of SCC, but I have it all downloaded for when I'm traveling next month, yay.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I did get it, thank you! And I think you will really like SCC. Well, I like it at any rate ;-)

[dopplegl.livejournal.com]

I've been on board with Greek since the beginning. Last season seemed to be the 'channels no one cared about debuting good shit.' Like USA with Burn Notice and Psych. And ABC Family with Greek and Kyle XY. What's going on? My whole world is askew.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

The basic cable networks prolly figured they had nothing to lose and everything to gain by putting on quality programming for a change. Burn Notice *said with much longing*

let's be bad guys

[julietlaw.livejournal.com]

Is anybody else out there into Greek?

YES! YES! ME! ME!

Greek rocks so much and I couldn't be happier it's finally back. (I mean, it took so long that I was a little afraid it wouldn't. What with the strike and airing of ABC Family and all.)

Also, if Chuck and Nate from Gossip Girl had a baby, he would be Evan.

Er.. isn't that kind of mean towards Chuck and Nate though?

And I would comment on the rest of your post but my circuits fried at the mention of Christian Bale/Brian Austin Green. Does. Not. Compuuuuuuuuuute.

Re: let's be bad guys

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Yay for Greek! I have to go find some icon to share my love.

Also, if Chuck and Nate from Gossip Girl had a baby, he would be Evan.

Er.. isn't that kind of mean towards Chuck and Nate though?

Nate, yes, Chuck, not so much so. Clearly Evan got Chuck's clothing taste though.

[veryshortlist.livejournal.com]

I love Greek so much. I am actually watching it right now. Also, the minor characters pretty much make this show. Ashleigh, who can song like hell, and Dale, who continues to be my favorite character.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I adore Ashleigh. And Calvin. And even Beaver. Beaver... man, what a name.

[svilleficrecs.livejournal.com]

*g* Thank you so much for the rec!

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

It is only what you deserve for giving the world such an awesome story!

[tmelange.livejournal.com]

I love Greek, surprisingly. Guess it reminds me of my youth. LOL Seriously, though, it's one of my favorite shows. I'm shocked that I like all the characters...but I do. I fiend for my dose of Greek every week.

And I've resigned myself to going to the special hell reserved for people who just love the idea of Derek/John. I'm not usually one for underage...incestuousness (LOL, I'm scaring myself now just labeling it) but Thomas Dekker simple has chemistry with everyone, so I refuse to feel bad about my D/J OTP.

Of course, the thought of CB and BAG -- well, you just made my day. :))

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I know what you mean about being shocked about liking all the characters on a show. The never happens to me, even the ones I don't particularly like I still think are excellent at what they do (Dale, Frannie, Rebecca).

As for Derek/John, I understand where you're coming from, really. It's so wrong, but so, you know, I mean... I BLAME BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN. And there's another sentence I ever thought I'd type in my life.

[halfway2home.livejournal.com]

I haven't seen a full episode of Greek, but I know folks who are into and we have a seminar coming up at work for it, so I imagine I'll be seeing an episode (or at least, a clip package) then.

I've only got the We Sing EP (http://www.sendspace.com/file/cvtplp) so far. You must also download Live at Java Joes (http://www.sendspace.com/file/6tsqtu), if you don't already have it. Live Mraz is the best.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Watch eeet! Watch eeet! You'll enjoy it, AND get brownie points at work, how can you miss? :-)

Also, thank you so much for the music. Hooray!

[lyredenfers.livejournal.com]

GREEK. Yes, please write this! I will be happy to provide the loud fangirling if necessary. Or, better still, a fic where some of the Gossip Girl crew go to Cyprus Rhodes University and join (destroy?) the Greek system. That would be high quality entertainment! Just think about Blair and Rebecca in the same room! Casey might have a melt down.

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

I am actually pondering Calvin/Heath. I love Calvin. And Cappie. Cappie is awesome. Maybe I will write Rusty and Cappie bonding.

[blueandomlettes.livejournal.com]

hey i keep wanting to watch greek but for some reason abc family doesn't like me, so it won't let me, any ideas on where i can find episodes?

[hackthis.livejournal.com]

Oh, poo. I dunno where else to look, but I'm sure it has to be somewhere in one of those all tv episodes comms. I just don't know any of them, maybe ask your flist?
