my life is boring

1. Watched part of an episode of Castle. Enough to discover Kate Beckett is Yet Another Cookie Cutter 'strong' woman with a stick up her ass who has no power, and is there to be an obstacle to the Awesome Male Lead who swans all over the place being an asshole. Ugh.

2. Have not watched either NCIS. Please try not to spoil me.

3. I was so bored at work today, I seriously contemplated the steps it would take to orchestrate an inter-fandom wank war. The difficulty would be getting innocent people involved who might be hurt, since it was really all in fun.

4. Finally managed to edit something for posting.

eta: 5. WHY IS THERE NOT A FIONA GLENANNE ACTION FIGURE? Or a Ziva. There should be a Ziva.

Thank you for articulating why I can't quite get into Castle. I wanted to, I really did. I even watched the season premier yesterday hoping it had gotten better since the two episodes I watched last season. Because I adore Nathan Fillion to pieces, and even thought Castle's an asshat I do think he's played brilliantly.

But I never really gave it more than I glance, and I could never put my finger on it. And this is totally it.


Which I think is one of the things I enjoyed about the Good Wife. Title issues aside, the pilot episode was basically everyone assuming she was some poor little politician's wife, a tool of her husband, etc. And then she went around and proved how she was 10 times more awesome than all of them.

Yeah. I wish it wasn't so obviously painfully bad tripe in that regard. Sigh.

I rec'd the Good Wife to my co-workers today =D
