Bottom line for all of them? Nowhere near enough women. Children of Earth spoiled me rotten for women in narratively meaty roles who affect the plot.

NCIS: I... y'know. Jen is love. She just is. Also? Women continue to rule, on this show.
Bones: Damn. Can we have Caroline or Stephen Fry back, please?

Also, as a side-note, I caught a commercial for the sleep number mattresses, with Lindsey Wagner from the original Bionic Woman hawking them, which made me giggle madly, because, well, in an interview I just read, Katee said she'd love to sleep in her [Lindsey's] bed--which. Dammit, Sackhoff, stop giving me RPF lines! (seriously. At the con, she said, we were all welcome to grope Lucy Lawless inappropriately...)

Er, anyway.

PKJ: .... guys, stop with the clip shows. Although, sadly, you really need an editor.
NCIS, season four: So much teamy goodness and badasserie all around.

As some of you may know, [livejournal.com profile] nique and I adore NCIS, especially Ziva (she's kinda Domino, with a day job, really). Unfortunately, for the entirety of season four, she worked Tuesdays, and I taped (mostly faithfully), but didn't watch (except sometimes. Like Friends and Lovers). It is now nearly time for season five, and thus, I've dusted off the tapes.

We got quite a bit marathonned on.... er... Sometime earlier this week.

I don't think I have specific spoilers, but I suppose I should be kind and cut anyway.

But first, let me once again note that NCIS, often considered misogynistic, has three major female characters, and at least two lesser female characters who are all incredibly well-drawn and fairly damned awesome. And you don't mess with ANY of them. (If Ziva, Abby, Jen, Michelle, or Hollis hit a man, he stays DOWN. Contrast that with Flash Gordon tonight, where the chick beat some guy up, and Flash had to hit him again to make him stay down. Ugh.)

Criminal Intent: Please stop being the show where you have Shocking Moments and Special Guest Stars Who Act. I watched an old episode--the last five minutes of, at least--tonight, and it was about a thousand times better than every episode this season. Except for the first one, and that only rocked because of the Alex stuff. The rest of CI? Has been pretty shitty.

NCIS. Fluffy fun. And, aw, Ziva. Also, again, please note that YOU DO NOT PISS OFF THE WOMEN. Thank you.

Bones. ExpandBecause there are spoilers. )

OH ZIVA

"Remove your hand, or I will beat you to death with it."

Seriously. That is LOVE right there, people.

(damn. I have no Ziva icon. GAH.)

Hrm. I need to do more icons.

You know, we were watching old X-Files on Monday, and (coincidentally, really) one of the eps was 'Monday'. And it occured to me that the universe does not want Mulder and Scully dead, hence the reboot until it's fixed. BUT. Something else did want them dead, hence broken ATMs, Mulder signing his pay stub, and their general inability not to go into the bank.

House last night was... House. There was God, I didn't really pay much attention.

NCIS was love.

lyssie: (Kara Dear Santa)
So, I was going to rant about how much I hate the government (I may, later).

BUT THEN NCIS STARTED.

And Ziva said to Tony, "Don't tell me you're afraid of a little pussy...cat."

And then Gibbs proved to be able to control a cat.

Dude. Mini!Jack is holding up his high school class. With a bomb. I think.

I keep forgetting, sometimes, how much I do. Until there's an episode like tonight.

HOW MANY SHOWS will cripple one of the male leads because he was being an idiot and running aound and... twisted his ankle?

NONE, I tell you.

Except NCIS.

Plus, I think I'm definitely leaning towards men again, because, omg, GIBBS. He's very, ah, Gibbs. Yes.

ahem. ncis

Fab episode. I love Ziva lots. As Timey keeps saying: she's Dom, with a day job. *cackles*

House as also vaguely amusing. If rather predictably poignant.
lyssie: (Kara BREASTS)
VH1 Classic is like crack, y'know.

I had forgotten how much I liked the movie Red Planet. You know, the one NO ONE remembers because the completely shitty Mission to Mars came out a month before it, and no one wanted to hear about Mars, like, EVER, after being subjected to MtM and it's painful badness.

This is not to say that Red Planet doesn't have its dumb moments. But it at least has stronger female characters.

And, well, Carrie-Anne Moss. And Val Kilmer. Snarking. (although, Val, HONEY, blonde? Not your color. At all.) For the record: Val has a far better intelligence than Keanu. Matrix with Val? Would've been awesome (Willowsidenote: Val and CAM as swashbuckling pirates? Be still my beating heart)

Bowman/Gallagher is, like, the best disaster movie OTP.

OH. I was going to talk about House and NCIS.

Um, House. Didn't really watch, other than telling Cameron to go have sex, and cheering for Cuddy's boobs.

NCIS. More snark, more amusement. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the dynamic between newDirector and Gibbs. Poor Chip. But he's an idiot, anyway. Loved the end, the middle... sigh. *pets Ziva*

I might be doing nanowrimo

The cat is very fluffy.
lyssie: (Teyla goddess)
OMG I LOVE ABBY. Have I mentioned this before? I should. I think I did. I also love Ziva and the new director. Ziva is an incredibly strong chick, without being Kate in any way, shape or form. And the new director--dude, the power struggle between her and Gibbs is very amusing.

This whole episode had a theme: Men Are Stupid. No, really, it did. Until the end when Tony's ass-checking-out abilities finally had a purpose. *snickers madly*

Abby has a FANBOY.

*glee*

Also? ZOMG. I know men like the geek they had.

Work is actually not as bad as I'd thought it'd be.

In other news:

Travis is the Cylon God.

And I keep listening to Invisible Sun, and thinking about Cylons as I drive past the 31st Street exit on my way home from work.
