Quick thoughts on TV.

Breakout Kings is renewed for a second season! Yay!

Burn Notice: Noooo Max! I barely knew thee. T_T AND I DEMAND MORE JESSE, period.

True Blood: I totally knew Godric made another appearance just by looking at [livejournal.com profile] godriceric. :P

Caught an episode of Law and Order: UK the other day. Damn. I had no idea Americans exported a TV idea to the Brits!

I am finally warming up to the Harvey/Mike pairing for Suits. Buuuut, Harvey/Jessica would be such awesomesauce too. I can't decide. On a side note, I keep thinking of Johnny Depp every other minute when I look at Harvey. (Sorry Gabriel Macht...) And Tom Lipinski's Trevor is one of those faces which just annoys me for no reason like all, like Shia LaBeouf's. (Although SLB is the worst of all.)

I really wish Dexter would come back with a new season already....

I haven't watched the episode so...like, what's going on with Eric in the new season? I've heard a lot about the love triangle... /eyeroll

Eric's had his memory erased by some witches and as a result he's pretty reliant on Sookie right now to keep him hidden and safe at her house..he and Sookie have grown pretty close because he's a huge softie now and is a honest, pretty affectionate sort of guy. Cue cognitive dissonance on Sookie's part bc A) this isn't the Eric I used to know--or was it, and B) Does this mean this is the "real" Eric, minus his upbringing and the 1,000 years of killing people?

The Godric thing was just a dream, think Godric is supposed to represent his vampire nature trying to reassert itself...oh, and Bill is the new Vampire king of Lousiana so Eric is subservient to him now. OTL (Actually that's how he got into this mess, he was following orders)

If they follow the book, and I think they will for this, he and Sookie are gonna become pretty close and intimate. And then he gets his memory back, lol. But in the book Bill pretty much becomes a cipher and doesn't figure into the plot at all, from here on out the focus is Eric and Sookie. But in the show, everyone knows Alan Ball loves Bill and they mentioned this love triangle thing, I have no clue how it's going to play out but I wouldn't be surprised if Bill and Sookie end up together after all, when all is said and done.

Wait, did I know you watched Burn Notice?

I've been watching Suits, and love Harvey! Mike totally doesn't deserve him. So far.

I like Burn Notice! A lot! Watching the newest episode as we speak (well, as I type). Do you ship any for that show?

As for Suits, I agree with you on all fronts. :P

I don't really have a ship for BN. Because Mike doesn't have a shippy face. Don't ask me what that means...

Fiona is all kinds of awesomesauce (LOL'd so hard when that time she knocked herself out tasering a guy), so no objections to her being with Mike.

And Chuck, ah I mean Sam, is just the coolest dude who lives off of suger mommies ever. But it would be so wrong to ship him with Mike. So wrong.

I did like Victor. How he was tragic and little crazy, and died in Mike's arms. Poor baby.

Have to say though, in the beginning what drew me to BN was the unapologetic subversion/aversion of all the spy tropes. It was thrilling watching Mike outwit the local baddies. And the way he did it - sometimes effortlessly, sometimes with gritted teeth accompanied by practiced frustration, sometimes not as gracefully as he would have liked. But almost always finishing clean. It was so charming. Afraid that freshness is gone now. Now I hate Mike every time he forces tasks on Sam or Fiona, occasionally Jesse. Thank god that kid brother of his hasn't shown up to step up the annoying factor yet this season. Or has he? Maybe I blocked it out = =

And Suits. Ep 10 was all kinds of groan and facepalm making. Harvey, please dump Mike and hook up with Jessica already. Or even Dona, I don't care. You are smarter than this. He is not another you, he will never be you.

I TOTALLY GET WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT Michael "not having a shippy face". IF he had a shippy face, I would have been perfect fine with him/Fiona/Jesse, or any combination thereof.

And Gilroy was in love with him. Well, as much in love as a heartless psychopath could be, anyway. I liked Gilroy. Once I commented how ship wise Mike is far more dynamic with the villains of the show. Like with Larry, OMG.

As for Nathan, I think he did show up once this season? I dunno. Was re-watching some of the earlier stuff, could have gotten mixed up.

Oh by the by, I've watched all the LOUK eps and liked them. Ronnie (the senior Detective) is one TV cop(per) I would want sit by me after going through a horrific event. The other is Hotch from Criminal Minds. Maybe Mac too from CSINY. One who I NEVER want to sit by EVER is Horatio Caine.

I gave up after one episode of LAOUK. The accent was too much, for some reason.

And yes, oh god, no Horatio Caine please. I stopped watching CSI: Miami just because of him. I would prefer Seeley Booth (Bones), or Mac, or Ed Green (LAO).
