Thanks to every one who replied to the Job Stories post; I'll reply to y'all individually later. If any one else wants to add anything, please feel free.

So, I'm very much watching this and, for whatever reason, am completely into it. Except I just tried to pinpoint why and I couldn't do it. The credits squick me out in a major way. It feels like it's definitely going somewhere, so that's always a draw.

I don't know. I think mostly I'm Way Too Invested* in the way Bill says 'Sookie' and how prim he can be around her. And then, bless her, Tara and her various fuck ups, and LaFayette. There's just something overly charming in the way that everybody goes about their, um, business, and Sookie just cocks her head to the side and pushes on through.

Saw Dawn's death coming the minute I saw the bite mark, but it still sucks that she's gone. Sadface, every one. Can't wait for the next episode.

*) Meaning, I'm not sure that'll finish out well.

THANDIE NEWTON: STILL MORE AWESOME THAN THOU. Yes, yes, and thank you.

Okay, I was totally bored this week except for three things:

1) Cameron in the house. "This is the exact centre of the house. [...] The house is moving." BRILL. Also, they can't swim, what?

2) Derek's reaction to Sarah running off was pretty much, fuck, not without me! and I find that oddly endearing.

3) Busy Phillips is so pregnant and yet still a charm.

I just-- okay, the widening cast is boring to me; I feel like the plot loses its focus because there are just too many people to worry about. I don't care about John's girlfriend, or his on-going emo (I couldn't get behind that in the first season, let alone now). I wish they'd do something with Cameron, instead of leaving her to be the world's worst babysitter. Even Derek is vacuous because he has nothing to do.

I'm interested in the T-1001 set-up, and I want to see where that's going because Ellison is a great character. But I've never cared about Sonya Walger's character. I thought the woman's name was Poppy. This is so incorrect. (Actually, I thought they were going to fake her death and send her and Charley to WitSec, but apparently she's actually, properly dead. So now what?)

I'm still enjoying the show for the most part, but the plot is all over the place right now, and I'd like some direction before it's just one long chain of explosions. I'm saying: I wasn't a fan of T3, y'all.

I'm writing this Spooks ficlet and it keeps turning into something ridiculous, and I keep having to cross out everything but the first paragraph. The problem is that I only have a vague idea of what I want to do with it. I wanted it to be a NCIS crossover but with the new season of that starting tonight (oh. my. fucking. god.) I'm reluctant on that front, too. So. I don't know. I've been writing this since the beginning of August almost, so I'm feeling ridic, and if I don't finish it before S7 then it'll never get written. But, whatev, right?

I finally finished last week's Bones (the dogs) and fuck, yes, okay, I bawled like a child. Man alive, this show is pretty depressing! What's with that?

DID I MENTION NEW NCIS. I'm so fucking nervous. First-date syndrome, what?

Loads *and* loads.

Still, I have committed myself to sending the baby!Spooks stuff to beta on Sat, so I'm working on that a lot, and then I might just get through some of the Spooks stuff. Or stick to the aus, always good. And that's without even thinking about Primeval...
