~Leverage: The Zoo Job


I was a little disappointed in Zoo Job. Con Job was so nerdy and awesome, but Zoo Job is just kinda... blech. It's kinda boring, and jumps around a lot and the whole Leverage-y twist to everything is kind of lacking in comparison to normal episodes/Con Job. But then maybe that's not super surprising, because out of Keith R A DeCandido's three Supernatural books, I only like one of them? At least I think I like'd it - mostly they're older ones (Nevermore, Bone Key; Heart of the Dragon's a little more recent, but still...) Anyway, now I'm reading Supernatural: Fresh Meat, which is going pretty well, even if it's set in the no-Cas period of S7. After that it's on to the Hemlock Grove book. Which, oh, by the way.

Aside from being pleasantly slashy, it has an epically awesome werewolf transformation scene. Very few things gross me out, but the first time I saw it I was like, 'Ahhh, whaaaaaaat?'



This is a cut down version of it, but it does it some justice. It's only on Netflix (or, well, the internet). It's a little campy and a little strange, and kind of American Horror Story meets Teen Wolf, if it were on HBO or Showtime? And produced by Eli Roth. But who needs plot?...

Also, I won a signed script of episode 8 (The Pointy End) of Game of Thrones through a B&N contest. It's the only episode that G. R. R. Martin actually wrote and he signed it and *fangirl*.

But, after reading Clash of Kings, all I really want to do is find GRRM and punch him in the face for making his books so infuriatingly frustrating. NOTHING HAS BEEN AT ALL HAPPY SINCE THE MIDDLE OF GAME OF THRONES AND I KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO GET BETTER! *wails*

BUT SEASON 2 STARTS TOMORROW AND I HAVE HBOGO ON MY COMPUTER (Mom and Bro and I burned through Season 1 over Spring Break last week and by teh time I left to come back here, we had HBO...)

1. X-Men: First Class. I am kind of late to this party, but that movie was fucking awesome. Mahor thanks to paytofay for telling me to see it. Also, seeing movies with fellow slashers makes them infinitely more awesome because at least I know I am not imagining that awesomeness happening on the screen.

On that note - ( Thoughts )

2. Cirque du Freak - Darren/Steve. I'm only on the 3rd book, but the movie alone is what grabbed me on this one. The hating on each other-mortal enemies thing could have been avoided, god damn it! "I did not want to be a vampire, Steve! I never wanted this! You were dying - because of that stupid, stupid, spider - and it was the only way to save you. I had to agree to get the anti-venom to save you." The end. Crisis avoided. Steve knew he was turned at the funeral, but he didn't know why and it was after that he started to go darkside. Gah. Boys. Why?

3. My Babysitter's A Vampire. Okay. I was bored. It was on TV. It was not what I expected. It was actually not horrible for a Disney movie. Ethan and Benny are pretty much Tommy and Merton. Only replace werewolf and goth sidekick with Seer and Spellcaster. Which, yay! Not a useless sidekick! Although, most of the situations they get into are Benny's fault. In the TV series that just started airing, it's usually over girls (also like BWoC), and involves purely ridiculous nonsense (raising pets form the dead who then go all zombified, dressing up as cheerleaders to defeat an evil cheerleader witch (and oh, god, the crossdressing is hilarious! (also, what is it with kid shows lately and boys dressing as girls, Big Time Rush does it all the fucking time!))). There is sadly, no fic at all for this. At least not that I have been able to find. This makes me sad.

4. Suits. I have not seen enough to form much of an opinion for Suits. Harvey/Mike seems obvious (also, why did USA name another main character Michael? Especially on a show that airs RIGHT AFTER Burn Notice???) We shall see.


Also, Big Time Rush is kind of ridiculously awesome.

I was kind of disappointed in both the White Collar and Burn Notice premiers. Leverage was okay, though.

( Thoughts )

So, got all A's for the semester. Which, yay! Been home since Tuesday afternoon, have been concerting and working, and video-gaming, and have been obnoxiously sick through all of the above. Have another concert tomorrow (Sugarland) and I have two more chapters of Portal 2 left to play before I beat it! [Poll #1743841]

I don't understand what my brain is doing with Criminal Minds anymore. Morgan/Reid is my OTP of awesomeness, but the 'Pretty Boy's are few and far between. And apparently, Hotch and Rossi have started being ridiculously adorable and I don't know why my mind has suddenly started noticing this. It doesn't help that after three episodes of this mindset, last night there was an adorable end-scene. It is not spoilery at all for the episode, unless you care about Jack plotlines and/or Hotch/Rossi nonsense, but...



So, yeah.

So, tonight marks the end of Paranormal State's final season. I'm sad to see it go, but Paranormal Research Society will still be going strong and doing events and stuff. And Ryan's working on some book projects, so we're not totally cut off from their awesomeness. However, no one seems all that impressed with The New Class, probably because A&E fails at life like 90% of the time. Especially when they list people (Ryan) as executive producers when they have had absolutely fuck all to do with the show.

Also, the last two Hawaii Five-0's of the season look bad ass. Tonight's was... meh. Kinda slow. But, next week - hnnng, Danno! Why does it seem like every TV show has a gratuitous episode with something like what'll happen to Danny?

So, I've gotten this: 

(Danno making an air-heart at Steve after hauling his broken ass up a cliff)

This:

(Balthazar snarking awesome things at Dean about certain other angels who give a crap about killing 50,000 people)

And now this adorableness (even if it the RPS version):

(MGG offering Shemar a Birthday kiss? He also does this adorable reaching out thing before the .gif starts)

All within, what? Ten days? Fandom is being awesomely giving lately.
