healingmirthI'd just like to state for the record how very much I love NCIS this season, and Justified forever and always. Justified was three or four episodes into the second season before I found time to start watching, and then by that point, I knew I was going to want to watch all of them once I started, but didn't have three-plus hours free, from which point it just got worse every week until three weeks ago when I watched the whole season to that point, and then the last two weeks, and OH MY GOD, YOU GUYS.
On the other hand, NCIS this season looked like something I was going to have to trudge through for the vague hope of fannish inspiration, and then suddenly it was SO GOOD.
(However, I am still not a fan of McGee and/or Sean Murray's acting, even though I'd really like to be. Am I forgetting some point where he did something other than take up space and hack things? Because I would really like to like him. Also, how is it that he had a recurring role of some sort on JAG that is totally not who is is in NCIS? Aren't they in the same universe? I suppose there are a fair number of tallish brown-haired white guys running around the Navy...)
Let's see. Also went to see Fast Five after work on Friday and, I don't know. I wasn't super-excited going in
What do these two have in common? Collateral damage to people and property, and unplanned pregnancies. Clearly. In Justified, they both add to the drama and weight the story in things that happen to real people and in Fast Five... they just get in the way of my enjoying the cars and the criminals.
(also, what did we do before google and wikipedia, seriously? before cell phones, I totally remember how that went, but before the internet did we just... not know stuff? were there just so many fewer things to know that this knowledge could reasonably be parceled out among one's friends, and the books belonging to those friends? this thought brought to you by the fact that even after rewinding five times, I still could not place the voice singing at the end of Justified until I googled the lyrics. for that matter, what would I have done if I'd only been able to watch it live?)
