I have been distracted, I know. What with crack_van and the editing I'm *supposed* to be doing. And also new story that I still haven't really started despite obsessively thinking about it. And I need to write or I'm gonna go mental. Not. Joking.

Then in between all of that, I got sucked into John Adams and Life. Of the two, Life is far more entertaining. Maybe I just find prison fascinating. (Also, for some reason, and I'm probably terribly wrong, I imagine pir8fancier enjoying that show. Do not ask me why.) John Adams...well I thought it was going to be more about the Revolutionary War, and it wasn't. I mean, really, blah. Only the first two eps were interesting. John Hancock...doing things! Not just signing papers! (Also being cute). Thomas Jefferson as emo, passive-aggressive, sekrit genius! (Also being cute). The rest...John Adams as ambassador...blah. (Though, small Tom Hollander appearance as George III was kind of funny).

Life worth a look. It's really all about Charlie, I'm less interested in the conspiracy and all that. I like seeing his fucked up psychology play out.

And btw, The Mentalist...*again* with the ridiculously old-fashioned dialogue??? Really? If I didn't stumble upon the last half hour of this show upon getting home from work and find it sort of amusing when it tries to be serious, I wouldn't be watching. Why is anyone else?

I hate when shows get lazy or scared and don't want to give us real impact.

Though Nick was crying on CSI last night more than he cried when buried alive. I mean, I get the ep was really all about the whole past year, but still... Then I expected man hugs for the man tears and was cheated.

!!!

Though Greg did know Nick's birthday. As did Grissom...

In Life fic thoughts...mostly I want to see inside of prison Charlie. While I understand the way it can be more powerful to leave that our imaginations, and useful for them to have plot ideas later (much like his undisclosed lawsuit money amount), I'd still like to see it, even if only through the moments on the outside when the new Charlie Crews regrets letting prison!Charlie emerge.

Though sometimes he doesn't seem to mind.

If you mean Life I have this feeling that they're working towards something.
Maybe?

And they've shown teeny tiny pieces of Prison!Charlie (s2). I want more but what there is works too. We don't really know how far Charlie would go or has gone. He's unpredictable and a lot crazycakes.
Very Mentalist.:)

And yes, bad ass!Prison!Charlie, please.

ps. Fuck, no man!hugs???
That's just wrong.

CSI being a classic. Just...bury someone alive...they'll be fine. A little shake, then fine.
