fandom! (and the gay.)
my TV fidelity wavers more and more, as I am seduced by new, shiny shows that do not take as long to load as Doctor Who on stupid ghetto Chinese youtube. thus I have started watching New Amsterdam, which is sort of like the filthy lovechild of Angel, Bones, and CSI, starring a more angsty and heterosexual version of Captain Jack Harkness. I don't think I really like it all that much, mainly because the title character (John Amsterdam, in his current incarnation) is annoying. he hooks up with a different awesome chick in each episode's flashbacks, and then you're confronted with the knowledge that that awesome chick didn't survive either. and then I worry about new Awesome Chick (who suffers from fluctuating characterization in a major way but is pretty without being obnoxious, competent and reasonably independent, so I forgive her), who will inevitably end up dumped by the wayside as well. also, there can be no slashy tension, because all of the male minor characters are somehow related to Amsterdam. given the size of his creepy stalkerish family tree, though, I wouldn't be surprised if the entirety of North America could win Six Degrees of Separation from John's Dick.
also, I have been watching the OC. it is probably the most ludicrous, OH NO THEY DIDN'T, entertainingly implausible show I've ever watched. someone answer me this, though: Mischa Barton was wonderful in Lost and Delirious. WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED. now she is an actress with one facial expression (guileless incomprehension), no vocal range, and probably anorexia. woe.
I really do need to catch up on Torchwood, though. I ran out of space on my hard-drive after Reset. I will say that even though I don't really like much about Torchwood as a show (UGH URGE TO PUNCH CAPT JACK IN STUPID SMUG FACE STILL GOING STRONG) Jack's relationship with Ianto makes me go, "awwwwwww," repeatedly. maybe possibly someday Ianto will get to have a relationship on equal footing, like a real independent woman!
however, that said... where is the fanvid of season one Jack/Ianto to "I Don't Mean Maybe"?
Do you love yourself?
Do you love anyone?
Because you stay for a while
and you take what you want
and then you're gone.
...
I found out you've been messing around,
I heard it was all around town,
You said that nothing went down,
But I don't know if I believe you baby.
It's time to leave you baby
And I don't mean maybe
so many, many clips to choose from. stupid Jack and his stupid smug face and his stupid smug serial infidelity. ~cuddles Ianto~
