Unexpected fannishness

[lizardbeth]

Oh, um, so I had this post for TVD yesterday and I didn't quite finish it, and then it got lost in a firefox crash. :(

So here, have some short roundup notes for various shows of the last day three days...



AHAHA. ELENA THE VAMPIRE. THAT IS AWESOME. I know it happens in the books, and there are ways to undo it if they choose not to, but still. \o/ It's great for Elena's development and it's even better because now we can put all that Original/doppelganger crap to rest. Now the Originals can come or go, but "killing them/Klaus to save Elena" is pretty much off the table because that was getting really really old.

Klaus-Tyler. hilarious. (I feel for Trevino though if he's gonna have to keep that up for too long)

While I love the potential of kickass!Bonnie, I have to admit to great skepticism that they'll actually carry through, since they've had potential Bonnie stories that fizzle over and over again. So, here's me crossing my fingers...

Damon got some good lines, but I pretty much roll my eyes whenever anything to do with Damon-Elena happens, since it always feels so over-written. I do think it's funny that so many people think elena remembering Damon's confession of his feelings/compulsion is gonna matter - she already KNOWS he loves her, this isn't exactly a secret. So I don't get why that's going to change anything.

It'll be fun to see where it all goes next season.


NIKITA GOT RENEWED. WOOT. All my comments on the episode are over here because woot, I am now a reviewer! So check it out! :D

I don't have much to say about Person of Interest, except that a stray comment on Tumblr has made me start writing AVENGERS/POI fic. Because John Reese needs to join SHIELD. And have a fling with Natasha. yes I realize Batman is not Marvel, but hush, it'll work. I'm already writing this fic. Because clearly the world is in NEED.

This is not even counting the Asgardian Family Shenanigans Part 2 I am writing.

you guys, I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS. AT ALL. I've been rather lukewarm to the other Marvel films as a general rule (that's why I didn't even see Thor when it was first out). Iron Man and Captain America were fine, serviceable films, but they didn't really make me feel fannish at all. I've never been into the Avengers as a comic, so this is ... really out of the fucking blue that I'm into it like this at all.

So, I'm sorry my BSG rewatch has been derailed (at the second episode! lol, wow I suck) into OMG!AVENGERS but, um, well, I caught the fever, I guess. :D

Eh. John as Hawkeye also sort of works (Clint is more of a screw-up goof-ball at times, but he's also very much a loaner who investigates things on his own)

Or he could be Logan (Logan's had all the tail in the Marvel universe)

Although, John also reminds me of Wildstorm's Grifter (he just needs his own Zealot, which, well, Carter is sort of Zealot-y in her honor system and honesty and striking out on her own and sometimes betraying him--though that does make Zoe Savant--which breaks down as Savant is technically Zealot's kid, I guess. And now I've distracted myself. I think I buried the Wildstorm box, though, damn)

whoa sudden flashbacks of wildcats! I haven't thought of that in years! and hee, Wolverine, now I'm thinking of Reese sprouting claws... think I better stay away from characters who already are known/movieverse equivalents though.

But anyway, I'm just importing Reese as is, as an agent, so he can interact with all the agents we know I'll deal with a codename later if I get that far... (you know me, easily distracted by shiny shiny things)
