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)

TVD...I'm the same re: Elena/Damon. The writing for them tends to be rather terrible most of the time. Not that I'd ship them anyway but at least their scenes wouldn't sound so ridiculous. 'If I'd met you first...' Oh, Elena...You met them both the first time maybe...a few hours apart? And you don't remember either first meeting. You met Stefan at school maybe...a day or two before meeting Damon. I DON'T THINK IT MAKES MUCH DIFFERENCE! Also, season 1!Elena would have NEVER fallen for season1!Damon. Back then, all Damon cared about was screwing with Stefan and getting Katherine back. He would've gotten bored 'dating' Elena after a few days and simply compelled her into being his girlfriend. So...yeah...that whole thing was ridiculous.

Oh, Bonnie...I've waited SO long for a dark!Bonnie arc but I just...don't have faith in the writers to actually play it out. I imagine she'll be rogue for a few episodes before going back to towing the party line because the writers simply don't care about her enough to give her an actual arc. Nevertheless...I'm still hoping for it :)

I don't think it's the knowing he loves her part that will piss her off...it's the knowing he compelled her right after he told her. And the whole "meeting her first" just to be MEAN (and because Damon is his own worst enemy).

Klaus-in-Tyler makes me SO UNCOMFORTABLE. I'm glad that he's faked Tyler's death, because I really, really cannot handle him in scenes with Caroline.

That said, it was an excellent finale, and I am excited to see what happens next!
