SFS: The I want an Archie Goodwin edition

Dresden: She was really hot. Can I have one?
BSG: Our Issues Were Once Again Pastede On Yay.

I'm really liking Dresden Files, it's light and fluffy, with snark and wit. Yeah, the plots are pretty, um, predictable, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. And Bianca was highly attractive.

Someone should write Archie Goodwin and her meeting, because the dialog would be utterly fantastic. And Archie is SO the kind of guy she'd go for.

Also! Bob. Oh, Bob, you cry at French movies, you poor poor ghost.

Bob needs to get laid.

BSG.
If it weren't for Kara and Sam Anders, I'd stop watching.

Roslin. I don't know who that was, but that was NOT the woman who wanted expected daily reports on the health of the prison ship's prisoners.

Adama. I have no words, but I really don't know who he was.

Chief. Visiting the man who signed his wife's death warrant. Don't know who he was, either.

Cally. Actually, I recognize her.

Kara and Seelix. The only watchable things in the episode. Also, Seelix really WAS needed on the deck, but, well, she might make a good pilot. She's got the balls for it.

Baltar and Six. Um... I'm sure they were in character. I don't know, they certainly weren't enough to make me pay attention.

Next week: Kara and her Special Destiny have an encore performance performing, "Nobody Knows..."

*waves two seasons of Nero Wolfe* Not according to my brain (Cally of Auron isn't dead, either).

I believe so, yes. I was referring to Nero Wolfe's chief secretary/detective. Usually associated with fast-talking women who might shoot him if he's an idiot.

*sigh* It's not even on yet and I'm feeling the need to watch Barbara Walters instead...

....I totally had something to say, but your icon kinda just made my mouth go dry.

*stares*

(oh, right. watch the beginning, watch the ending, don't watch anything in-between, and you're golden)

[identity profile] lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 05:50 am (UTC)(link)
here, have some more arm!porn. Told you I went hunting for more icons. *g*

I'll just DL it tomorrow then, so I can fastforward through all the middle crap. Please, God, let Maelstrom be good...

meh. There is Lee there. Not as hot. Sigh.

I worked out Ron's secret plan! He knows most of the fans hate the Religious Destiny crap, thus, he makes everything else unpalatable and we will then love it!

[identity profile] lizardbeth-j.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
fine, I'll find something else, if Lee detracts from the pretty too much. How bout this one? Nice little lickable chest there, I think...

Now it all makes sense! um. Yay?

Goramit, I missed Dresden. I've been enjoying it as well. Wasn't Inara (too lazy to look up how to spell her real name at this time of night) in it?

*sigh*

Happy Archie thoughts before bed. I miss Escamillio. A&E could have made a lot less Horatio Hornblower movies and more Nero Wolfe.

Obviously, I need an Archie icon, one of these days...

I'm not actually sure if that was Morena or not. Not that it matters, she was quite good.

hrmh. Now I have the beginnings of fic in my head. darn you. *shakes weetiny fist*

She wasn't smoking, but I could tell she was the type to do so. I could also tell she was the kind of woman who would get me into trouble. I flashed her a grin and made my way over, just in time for her to pull out a cigarillo.

"Need a light?" It was a cliche, but it was a damned good one.

Her eyes appraised me, a slight tilt coming to her lips, "You always ask a woman that when you meet her?"

"Well, I don't know," I replied, "I've never taken a survey."

(I need to watch more Wolfe, because I can not do witty dialog at this time of night to save my life)

Gah, now you've got me digging around on my hard drive for my long forgotten and unfinished Archie fic.

And I just realized I never did buy Season two of Nero Wolfe. I sense a visit to Best Buy in my near future and perhaps a reread of Some Buried Caesar.

[identity profile] vickyocean.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, and you must finish what you began. The world needs more Archie and NOT being slashed with Saul.

....WHAT? WHAT?

WHAT?

THAT HURST MY BRAINS. (I should go to bed)

[identity profile] vickyocean.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
I kid you not. Almost every Nero Wolfe fic I've come across is Archie/Saul. And I think there was an Arch/Fritz one that I laughed at before I ran away screaming. Dude, what about Lily? And I guess Archie's deep appreciation of the female form was just a front. Pages and pages of the series are spent with Archie ogling women or contimlating them after he's ogled them. Yeah, okay people who can not contiplate a character unless he's slashed with someone.

Next up Kara's dumb destiny, but on the plus side it has Leoben and Sam so that's a plus!

[identity profile] shutthef-up.livejournal.com 2007-02-26 12:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Yay! Other people are falling for Dresden too!

Bianca was smokin', just not... er, cigarellos or anything. I don't think it was Morena, but the actor looked very much like her.

Well, we're supposed to get Sam. I'm not holding my breath, though.

I've liked it since it started. I actually look forward to it more than to BSG. Which is sad, although, I suppose since the only reason I watch BSG is for Kara's hotness and Sam Anders and explosions, that could be why.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't, but I didn't pay much attention to the guest credits, other than to note Murphy was listed and she wasn't in the episode.

Archie's love for women is hiding his deep need to be screwed by other men. Right.

This, right here, is the number one reason boyslashers are fucking stupid.

oh man. i am really getting nervous about this maelstrom stuff. poor katee. i can't believe she didn't get more use this season. i've said it before but she is such a tremendous actress and i hope that she whatever she eventually does is up to her level.

[identity profile] lyssie.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, I'm not holding my breath about Maelstrom. I expect it to be about as badly-done as a Mercedes Lackey/Anne McCaffrey Battered Special Child book. I'll probably not even watch the first-run, so I can fast forward the bits I don't want to bother watching.

Now, if he'd just actually be on the show. Sigh.

Man, BSG is totally characterisation wheel of fortune at the moment. Can we bring back the Cylons so the humans can start acting like humans again?
ext_18106: (Kara the bitch)

[identity profile] lyssie.livejournal.com 2007-02-27 01:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Absolutely not! We must have a show about how awful humans are, and how right the Cylons were!
