suzy_queueLet's talk TV, a subject near and dear to all of our hearts.
I watched USA's White Collar last night. I'd seen the previews, heard the fandom hype, wasn't overly impressed. I only had it on because I'd watched Jack Wagner on Monk and not changed the channel. I loved it! Matt Bomer (Neal the art thief) is adorable, Tim DeKay (Peter the FBI agent) reminds me of Colin Firth, the writing was good and funny and the actors' chemistry was spot on. I actually laughed out loud a few times. I love the premise, the acting, the writing and I can't wait for next week. I'm not surprised that it was nominated for Yuletide before it even aired - I bet it's right up there with Glee as most written fandom. The slash potential is almost unlimited - even Peter and his wife have compared their relationship to Peter and Neal's, and Peter said so to Neal himself. Can't wait to see where this all goes.
General Hospital. Jonathan Jackson is back as Lucky on Tuesday!!!! My mother and I are still over the moon. I posted the promo on my Facebook and she completely geeked out. "How many times have I watched this video?? I swear, three!" (me: How many times did I watch it? WAY MORE THAN THREE.) I know, I know - he still has to say the crap lines they give him. But if they're bringing him back, then they're changing the direction they've been writing Lucky. That's what makes me so excited. I've disliked this Lucky since Greg Vaughan joined - he woke up from the coma, hated Luke immediately, and became a cop within a week. I loathed that arc and I still hate how Lucky just isn't a real Spencer anymore. JJ's Lucky was pure Spencer, with a lot of Laura, and that's what I'm excited to see. Not to mention Becky Herbst+Tyler Chistopher+Jonathan Jackson together again! (JJ + Tony Geary goes without saying.)
That does make me care more about the current storyline with them. Before, let Liz cheat, who can blame her? But now it's going to mean something. Mom thinks that they'll break up L&L, but I say that they simply can't break them up with JJ back. We tried to think of who could comfort Lucky when he finds out, but came up blank. Does anyone have ideas?
It can't be Rebecca - she's already torn between his two brothers. A third would be stupider than usual. Maxie is happy with Spinelli, and they won't make JJ's Lucky a drug addict again. Sam is with Jason. Lulu is his sister. Are there any other age appropriate women on the show? I'd kind of love to see Lucky and Robin because of their shared history and similar family stories, but I love how happy Robin and Patrick are already. There isn't anyone for him but Liz, really.
I've spent the last hour or so watching clips of JJ's Lucky from the 90s....the Nurses' Ball performances, Liz and Lucky meeting for the first time when she was such a bitch, their Valentine's Day vows, and, of course 1998: Lucky asks Liz to be his girl. AWWWW! Remember how they used to dance so much? And he'd write her songs? It was sweet. No domestic abuse, drug additions, mob involvement, etc in this romance. Could a story like that even play these days? :/
Has anyone heard if they're bringing back Laura for sweeps or Christmas? They've mentioned her a few times last week, and I would love to see her with JJ's Lucky again.
Glee still fills me with glee and I'm interested to see where things go. Ken continues to crack me up, and I'm still singing Sweet Caroline.
I never tuned back in to Stargate Universe after the pilot bored me, and I don't miss it.
I'm watching other things, but I guess they aren't making much of an impact. Things happen, I watch them, I move on.
