I know since I’ve been absent for so long that everyone’s very interested in what it is I’m watching right now (everyone who remembers me, that is – probably all 3 of you). But I’m posting this anyway! Because I feel like gushing again! So here I go!

New Shows:

+ ( Ringer )

+ ( Pan Am )

+ ( New Girl )

+ ( Hart of Dixie )

Returning Shows:

+ ( The Good Wife )

+ ( The Vampire Diaries )

+ ( Hawaii Five-0 )

+ ( Happy Endings )

+ ( Community )

+ ( Parks & Recreation )

+ ( Downton Abbey )

+ ( Merlin )

So yeah, there are others I'm sure I've forgotten (like up all night, revenge, law & order: uk, and newly finished shows like doctor who, torchwood: miracle day, suits and necessary roughness) that I've been attempting to juggle as well ( I also intend on watching the hour and catching up on luther), and it would appear I do nothing but spend my days keeping up with about a billion shows - which I would obviously be very happy to do, as would anyone here I think (IF ONLY GRAD SCHOOL AND MY MILLION JOBS WOULD LET THAT BE SO!!) But anyway, SO GLAD tv is back (for real) and it's looking like it's gonna be pretty great - many questions will be raised, many lessons will be learned, many mysteries will be solved, and many gratuitous shots of shirtless men will be appreciated (obviously I'm looking at you, Bradley). It's gonna be a good year.

Aaaaaaand I just spoiled myself for last night's law & order: uk finale.

MOTHER-EFFER.

This sucks for real. GODDAMN YOU TUMBLR.

edited to add: ( OMG JUST GOT SPOILED FOR THE NEXT EPISODE )

DAY IS NOW DESTROYED.

Wow, so so you think you can dance: uk is like so you think you can dance: for grown-ups. Mature and STILL able to be entertaining. Go figure.

I marathoned the second series in 3 DAYS IT WAS THAT GOOD. And more routines made me smiley/flaily/weepy in only a handful of UK episodes than any ever did in the US version the last couple of seasons (aka: not that many - at least that didn't include Kathryn). SRSLY, WATCH IT.

Want a hint of how fabulous this cast/series was? Here's the Top 4 guys routine - it is INCREDIBLE


If that intruiges you at all, you should check out the fangasm behind the cut. But probably no one will end up looking at this so I'm just doing it for my own amusement but whatever its awesome trololololol

( BEWARE THE FANGASM TO FOLLOW )

( MY SHIP AND MORE FUN ROUTINES )

Oh, and Cat manages to be an even more adorable human being hosting in her native land. I thought it was impossible for her to be any cuter, but I was horribly wrong.



Horribly, horribly wrong.

SYTYCD Top 20: FAVORITE DANCE OF THE NIGHT I DON'T EVEN CARE.


Yeah, Melanie and Marko were stunning and I reaaaallly liked Missy and Wadi's routine after watching it a second time (the first time I thought it was just a hot mess), BUT WHATEVER IVETA & NICK'S "QUICKSTEP OF DOOM" WAS PHENOMMMM - IT WAS FUN, THE MUSIC WAS FABBBB, THE DANCING WAS ONNNN, THE CHEMISTRY WAS THERE (SHUT UP I DON'T CARE THAT SHE COULD TOTALLY HAVE BEEN HIS BABYSITTER) AND IT WAS JUST OVERALL FLAW.LESSSSS.

HI GUYS, YOU'RE ADORABLE AND I LOVE YOU.

( More pointless rambling about the routines )

( First eliminations )

HOORAH, so you think you can dance is back! And they've gone back to having a top 20, BUT are also including all-stars once the group is narrowed down to the top 10. I APPROVE OF THIS PLAN. I LOVED getting to see more of Kathryn and Ade and to see how much their dancing had grown in so short a time. If this year's all-stars are half as good as last years, I will be verrrry happy.

Even though my general feelings towards S7 were pretty much as follows:


there were still some fantastic moments that came out of it.

This season’s auditions have been pleasantly surprising, with the contestants they’ve been featuring in the auditions leading up to Vegas trending a bit older than those in S7 – which is fantastic in my opinion because one of my many gripes from last season was that the cast was SO. YOUNG and the judges kept commenting that they needed to “mature” as dancers...Well, what did they expect when they picked kids all under 20??? But these opening episodes have given me hope for this season!

So, in honor of the new crop of so you think you can dance peeps making their way soon onto my screen (and into my heart!), I thought I'd post my favorite dances from the past three seasons - those that left a serious impression, were just loads of fun, that I continually return to on youtube - many of which involve my sytycd-OTP of all time, Kathryn & Legacy from S6.


HOW SO CUTE U GUYS???

[and yeah, this post pretty much became a Kathryn Appreciation post pretty immediately - OH WELL].

And I'm not ashamed to admit that some of these gave (and continue to give) me all kinds of ~~FEELINGS~~

( Lets start with some of my favorite duets )

( Top group numbers )

( Season 8 Auditions )

Looking forward to the new season!! But for now, gratuitous Legacy/Kathryn otp vid!



edit: the first time I post after over a month and it's this ridiculousness. LOLOLOL FOR DAYS.

The theme of this week's the good wife: ALICIA FLORRICK WILL NOT BE TAKING ANYONE'S SHIT TODAY, THANK YOU.

( 2.22 - In Sickness )

Next week: KALINDA, OMG. You totally deserve it but I just want to wrap you up and hug you and make all the pain go away.

( Doctor Who, 6.02: Day of the Moon )

Other than that, I got nothin'. My brain is fried.

But oh River/Eleven, you continue to delight me in every way imaginable. And Rory, keep being awesome, bb. Amy - there is some serious shit going on around you. I have no idea wtf it is, but christ I bet its gonna be fucking ridiculous and fantastic.

Just watched "The Impossible Astronaut", the series premiere of doctor who....

NO. WORDS.
.... EXCEPT:
WHAT???
WHAT IS GOING ON???? I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK.

[some things were easy to see coming a mile away, but others were like WHUUUUUUT??? and just ALL THE EMOTIONS.]

My reactions throughout the episode, ( in .gif form, which is the only form i am capable of being coherent in at the moment: )

I definitely need a rewatch to get a better sense of the episode and all of my ~FEELINGS~; but for now, my message for this series?

Well, congratulations community, you broke television. Nothing else will ever be that randomly hilarious ever again. I'm calling it right now.

( Among the BAJILLION THINGS that made episode 2.21, Paradigms of Human Memory, total and complete awesomesauce: )

I CANNOT WAIT FOR ALL THE "MISSING SCENES" FIC THAT IS GOING TO COME OUT OF THIS EPISODE. IT WILL BE AMAZING.

AND A MAJOR CONGRATULATIONS TO veritas724, who's Jeff/Annie vid "Gravity" (one of the FIRST Jeff/Annie ship vids created and which has been publicly acknowledged by the cast on several occasions) was paid tribute to during last night's episode. I'm of the camp that FULLY appreciated the wink and a nod to the Jeff/Annie fans (especially those vocal about supporting their 'ship) - and while hysterical in it's own right as a concept, the fact that they slowed the clips down, did the patented vidder panning-sideways-across-a-clip move AND INCLUDED A BLACK AND WHITE SHOT OF TROY is really what made it complete GOLD. PLUS, they made a shipper vid for Pierce and Abed, and that's something that cannot be over-appreciated.

( Check out the original fanvid vs. the community homage )

Also, from here on out, television entertainment as we knew it will now be referred to as "TV BEFORE JIM RASH".




- IN OTHER NEWS:
DOCTOR WHO IS BACK TOMORROW!!!!!

1) Like the rest of the interwebs, I am incredibly saddened by the news of Lis Sladen's passing yesterday - made all the more shocking by the fact that no one knew of her illness so it seemed like even more of a punch to the gut. Sarah Jane Smith, you came into my life only recently, but you were welcomed with open arms and I adored every minute that I got to spend with you (and you were the one character I shipped with Ten, so you gave me that). Lis/Sarah Jane - you were a super classy broad, and I only hope that I can be as classy as you.

2) And now for a meme - shamelessly stolen from lookslikelove and risskabob - to help me put off a rather boring assignment.

Name me a character in one of my fandoms, and I will tell you:

* How I feeeeel about this character
* All the people I ship romantically with this character
* My non-romantic OTP for this character
* My unpopular opinion about this character
* One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon

(all my fandoms can be found in my user info)

3) Please enjoy one of my favorite Sarah Jane scenes - her first farewell with Ten:
