Agent Provocateur

Why do I think that the heart of the island - the heart of the tardis?

or maybe Marcellus Wallace's briefcase

So I'm in the vapid tv wasteland that is August. I've been spending the days doing a lot of yoga, playing with inversions, and turning to the tried and true make me laugh / make me cry tv seasons . . .

I rewatch the Dr Who from Nine. So much LOVE. Such amazing social commentary - especially when the overriding them is hope. Such a sad passing for Ten. Now that everyone including RT Davies has moved on - I am a bit skeptic. . . . and Ten really needs a companion. And Donna was cut way to short . . . .

And then I rewatched Veronica Mars, S1. Who knew that Blair Waldorf and Steve Newlin went to Neptune High! And oh the hot mess of Logan Echolls. . .

Can't wait for Fall tv. But in the meantime LOVE Eric. That is SO how you do a dream sequence. HOT!

Other than that, a bit counting the days. What will be the tipping point?

True Blood is back!

- Red wine and dark chocolate goes together nicely.

- It's fun to have minions - an assistant and an intern. But sadly, I probably won't totally catch up until I can clone myself.

- I'm watching Criminal Minds from the beginning to stave off summer TV boredom.

- Can't wait until True Blood starts again

- BSG sapped the life out of me. It's hard to reengage in fandom. I need something shiny.

Well, I'm bawling. And sometimes it's healthy to have a good cry. I think my personal life has need one for a long time. Company reorganization. Breast cancer scare. Dad in the hospital. But really I am bawling over artifice.

Not artfice really, but BSG. When the last season premiered this January, I did the usually counting to see when the series would end. And much to my anguish, I realized that it would hit the day I would have to fly out for my annual Italy trip. So I distanced myself. I knew I couldn't be there for the end.

I had a great trip and then I gto back last Wednesday, and eventhough I was home, I waited. Denial? I had to come to terms. Well, tonight was the night. With copious wine and chocolate.

Not sure if anyone is still in the sandbox.

So, I guess now I can return to human consumption and read LJ again. I was in exile.

I'm watching DOLLHOUSE, hoping for a shiny new fandom and after 3 episodes, I like but haven't fallen. Here are my initial thoughts:

Echo = Lobotomized Sydney Bristow.

Advantage: no emo Sydney
Disadvantage: the series is missing a SpyDaddy and without the resonance of a father figure and acting chops of Victor Garber, it doesn't seem to have an anchor


Boyd = Dixon

It's a nice twist that Dixon is the one in the know this time


Tamoh = Nice abs

Great play to your strengths on the introduction. Obviously he hasn't had a chance to develop much, but he needs contact with Echo. Could they make him into a Vaughn-type love interest? I don't know if that is the right course, but I think without a ship, this show is going to have a hard time.


Alpha - Does he solve the love interest question?


Topher = Marshall's evil twin brother?


Sloane = plot hole & missing counterweight


Once again I am reminded of house ALIAS' pilot immediately invested you in all the charcters from Day 1.

- skipped yoga tonight. must go wed and thurs after work.

- my nose won't stop sniffling

- Chuck Bass is all kinds of hot mess!

- obsessesed with Sookie Stackhouse. Went back and read all the Charlaine Harris books and will now search out the short stories.

-haven't put up my suitcase from Thanksgiving and I will be going home next Wednesday, so not sure I will.

- cat is curled up next to me. if I get up, he looks at me and waits for me to sit back down so he can curl up again.

- have let my paid account expire, and I am not really jumping to re-up. hmm.

Just caught up on this weeks Grey's Anatomy.

Loving Kevin Mckidd and very amused by Mary. I am wondering if she studied James Callus for lessons in idiot savant . . .'

BUT why oh why Melissa George? She just immediately me go ew - hate that bitch! Seems Lauren is still a very bad memory.

10 days til I am hope for Thankgiving!
