Fannish Immersion


DH and I mainlined season 3 of White Collar once it finally appeared on Netflix.  Oh, Neal! Oh, El! Oh, Peter! Oh, show!!!!!!

tiny thoughts: 
At first I thought since Sara was getting all the action, they were going to do that conservation of female character thing to El, but then she became the awesome "self-rescuing Princess"!!!! So I forgive.

"Insurance Agent Barbie" Hee! Diana FTW!

Is Beau Bridges being typecast now?  Second fandom of mine where he's a venerable but out-of-touch superior officer. Blech.

Mozzie is love. 

I knew Neal was going to run, but I was still holding my breath when it came down to it.

 I have been reading an insane amount of Teen Wolf, thanks to [personal profile] jerakeen  (stories and recs) and Dira_Sudis ([personal profile] dira ) (stories) and the fangirl meetup.  We watched ep 4, so I have some actual canon to go with it.  Since it's all about the adolescent hormonal werewolf angst, I feel one ep is fairly sufficient for basis.

To balance Teen Wolf, I am also suddenly reading a lot of Lewis, which I have seen the first 2 eps, and since this is all about the mature, thoughtful, quietly competent men and their feels, two eps is a solid basis.  Never mind I started reading both of these without benefit of canon - I've become accustomed to acquiring new fandoms this way.  Apparently I'm nearly 100% non-spoilerphobic.

Also thanks to [personal profile] dira , because she loaned me the entire DVD set, I now have the first 2 parts of Generation Kill under my belt.  DH is a hard core military movie/documentary fan, so it wasn't a hard sell at all.  So far, I'm not seeing the Nate/Brad, but everybody does lust after Rudy, and I think there might be a case for Evan/Ray.  Or at least an unrequited crush by Evan towards Ray.  I have to say, it's hard to believe the same organizations that successfully run critical covert ops were responsible for invading ANY country. SHEE-eesh.

I've also reread two Vorkosigan 'verse books (Bujold), and all of Dira's GenKill/Iskryne crossovers (telepathic wolves!) and have managed most of the latest round of [community profile] kradamadness That's a lot of reading!
