More on Chase

Yes, I have watched all ten available episodes now.

It's possible I'm giving the show too much credit, but I really do like it. Especially since a lot of the time, it's basically got women being awesome.

Favorite moment ever? Annie talking a high society wife who was hysterical about her husband getting shot into saving herself by first barricading the door, then breaking the window and jumping out so she could run to the neighbors.

I just. THIS SHOW, YOU GUYS. Any other show, that woman would have been dead/broken something/been shot/raped/whatever.

(it's been a long time since I watched a show where women weren't treated as constant Sex Objects, so it's a bit disconcerting)

This isn't to say it's perfect, mind. Just... not fail, like SVU is with its constant "LOOK AT THESE HOT RAPE VICTIMS" camera-work.

Spoilers, I s'pose:

1. Nikita this week had surprise!Jon Gries. I feel as though this was a strange future AU where the Centre was destroyed and Broots lost Debbie (perhaps to terrorists or something), and Miss P. and Syd were off elsewhere. So, Broots was working for an evil black ops group and basically a hermit and stuff. Poor Brootsy. (also, Jaden = a little naive, but continuing to have a plot, yay)

2. There is white stuff on the ground out there. Puts a serious crimp into my plans to do laundry and walk to CVS for cookies or whatever.

3. When I wasn't watching Chase, I was listening to Florence + that Pati Yang song + Bjork. Then I tried to write fic. I'm not sure it went very well.

4. There is a crack!post at the River Song community. <3

5. I decided to put up a stocking at fandom_stocking this year.

6. My feet are cold, bah.

7. Dear mailperson, did a Netflix disc run over your dog? That's the only reason I can imagine for the way you recklessly cram then into our box. Our old mailperson had no trouble getting them in. Even when there were six Netflix discs and two blockbuster ones. Really surprised none of the discs are broken, me.

8. No, self, you cannot watch Poirot until you've done other things.

Foe, have you been rigging things again?

He's a jaded coffee-fuelled sorceror who knows the secret of the alien invasion. She's a strong-willed snooty detective who don't take no shit from nobody. They fight crime!
