Lizardbeth's Tale

CW just- JUST - announced that tomorrow's new episodes of Smallville and Supernatural are going to be pushed back a week to Feb 4, so they can air repeats of tonight's new Nikita and Vampire Diaries to get more exposure as those shows come back after hiatus. Apparently the CW only realized today that Idol is on tonight, too! I know, such a shock to me, too! It's not like everybody didn't know that AI was moving nights or anything for months.

Episode 2 of Fairly Legal is on as well. Party at fairlylegal! (er, it's a quiet party, but we are getting more people all the time! yay!) Did you know that about three times the people watch Jersey Shore at that hour? I just don't even get it. *sigh*

In unfortunate news, I haven't been able to write a word all week. I have four things open and have written on none of them. ugh.

I'm still highly irritated by a blog I read, full of the most ridiculous poorly-thought-out mishmash of faux-feminist b.s. I've read in a long time. This is a blog that wants to cancel "Fairly Legal" unaired, on the basis of only one promo, because Sarah Shahi is too beautiful to be a lawyer and therefore little girls won't want to become lawyers because they can't measure up.

I just.

I've been annoyed by this thing for TWO DAYS. I restrained myself from engaging (okay, that was more because I didn't know where to START than any innate nobility on my part), but GOOD LORD. Like this is the first t.v. show to have an attractive lead actress. She's not even the first attractive actress to be a lawyer, and somehow the profession has managed to thrive for women. I desperately wanted to ask if this blogger is also actively petitioning for the cancellation of "The Good Wife", since I'm sure Julianna Margulies is also a bad influence, being so pretty and all. Or y'know, Mariska Hargitay for police detectives. I would bet a million dollars in the real world, where people actually LIVE, Olivia Benson has inspired more girls to become police officers than were ASHAMED because they're not as beautiful as Mariska.

And that was only the start of the stupidity on display. Seriously, if we had to remove all t.v. shows with unrealistic portrayals of their profession, would we have any left? Heck, I'm kind of excited since I think FL might be closer to what an ADA actually does since the early days of L&O (okay, they might really screw it up, too, and I will have words about it, if they do. But at least they look like they're trying more than your average medical drama). Which of course, this person doesn't know, because she didn't bother to look for more evidence to support her conclusion.

(and she's a law student! supposedly. Which means she got through college! gods.)

Sarah Shahi, Michael Trucco, and lots of pretty over there

In similar news, apparently the producers of 'Justified' have just sold a tv show about a public defender who quits in disgust to become a prosecutor. (I can hear the pitch now -- "It's like "Fairly Legal" but reversed...") *sigh* I bet it'll be a little more srs bzns show than "Fairly Legal" is though. I think I'll hook her up with Trucco's character at a prosecutor conference....

(no, I'm not writing fanfic in my head for two shows that haven't even aired yet, nooooo.)

Or doing this instead of NaNo. oops.

You guys, I found a promo for Facing Kate. And while I will post the full thing to facing_kate just as soon as I figure out whether posting it to YT will get me banninated or not :( , I MUST SHARE THESE CAPS for my Trucco loving peeps.

( I KNEW I WOULD LOVE THIS SHOW )

Sbabe, I believe you requested more shirtlessness? :DDD

I think Big Bang has done something to my brain. (I know, you're all like, 'really? How can you tell?' *g*)

But yes, I think so. Because... for the first time, ever. I BOUGHT A DOMAIN.

Facing Kate Fans

I think you can get to it, though the DNS might still need to propagate. But what's there is a fansite for Facing Kate

BECAUSE I AM INSANE. *head-desk*

This show won't even be out for another three-four months. It probably won't release promo pics for at least two. I have only two interviews and some (admittedly adorable) photos to go on.

Apparently the combination of Trucco and the law has exploded my brain. I don't know.

(and I set up facing_kate also. yes. Did I mention I was going off the deep end?)

Instead of doing anything useful (oh, like write the stupid summary for my Big Bang, for ex), I started a community for Facing Kate, the upcoming t.v. show on USA. I titled it facing_kate. Clever, huh?

There's not much there yet, but I R planning ahead. I can't imagine I'll hate the show with that cast, as long as it's even mildly entertaining.

I have about eight potential titles for my Big Bang and a crappy summary. Titles and summaries are such a PITA. *grump*
