152 insights into my soul

Heh, had this amusing dream where I met Karen Gillan at a bar, and we hit it off, and she took me back to her place. Just to talk! But in the dream she was married to Jason Bateman, who caught us and thought we were having an affair. So he like dumps her and she's all sad and needs comforting, but alas, then I wake up.

But speaking of Karen Gillan, with it being a new year, I guess I should do a list of my top 10 (its too much effort to come up with more than 10) favorite babes of 2014. I say favorite, because there's too many expectations from saying "hottest", because then people are all, how could you rank x over y and all that jazz. At least by saying favorite, I'm indicating the list it totally subjective.

1) Barbara Palvin: still my favorite current supermodel. Pretty face, gorgeous lips, banging body (she is a Victoria's Secret model, after all), and you know how I like that brown hair/blue eyes combo.

2) Karen Gillan: Glad to see she still had a somewhat busy schedule post-Doctor Who. And looking totally hot in all the projects I'd seen her in in 2014. She was great in A Touch of Cloth, and of course Selfie. Still the most disappointing cancellation of this season. I'll miss her as Eliza Dooley strutting around in all those cute outfits looking all hott. Heh, even as a bald, blue alien cyborg in Guardians of the Galaxy, she was still smoking.

3) Nina Dobrev: My favorite Canadian vampire. A perfect combination of sexy and cute.

4) Alexandra Daddario- Who cares if her eyes are like, really, really blue that they're almost alien? As I said above, dark hair/blue eyes is my favorite. Plus, that one scene in True Detective is friggin awesome.

5) Evangeline Lilly: My favorite Canadian elf. She is like ridiculously pretty as Tauriel in the Hobbit movies. Too bad they made her character less kick-ass in the last movie.

6) Shay Mitchell: My favorite Candian Lesbian and Liar. Pretty and fit and you know how being part Flip always makes a girl slightly hotter in my book.

7) Shelley Hennig: From witch to were-coyote, she was a great addition to the already gorgeous ladies of Teen Wolf. I mean, it was sad to see Crystal Reed go, but they replaced her with not one, but two hotties in Shelley and Arden Cho.

8) Amy Acker: The girl who shares my exact birthdate, she's awesome on PoI. I mean, its always great when Amy plays the bad girl. Like she looks so sweet and innocent, and it works when she plays adorkable nerds like Fred, but somehow she becomes 1000x sexier when she's not playing the good girl role. But yeah, Root is bad ass, and is one half of one of my favorite OTPs.

9) Sarah Shahi: The other half of the aforementioned OTP. Shaw is a bad-ass in her own right, and I love her tough girl attitude. Shoot (or Raw, if you prefer) make quite the ass-kicking pair on PoI.

10) Anna Kendrick: Again, the brown hair/blue eyes thing. And, her being weird and dorky in real life amplifies her cuteness. Plus, she can sing, which is always a plus! Ah can't wait for Pitch Perfect 2.

TV commentary:

NCIS- Argh, why would you do that?!! Isn't it supposed to be Happy Holidays! ( spoiler cut )

Degrassi- Interesting, so is that the blackmailer? ( spoiler cut )

Selfie- Still holding out hope that despite the cancellation, they're going to end the series on a good note, with something resembling closure. ( spoiler cut )

Person of Interest- Well, that's a scary place to end it. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Faking It- Ooh, if this season ends in a downer again, I'm going to be so pissed. ( spoiler cut )

Flash- Ah, that was quick. (heh!) ( spoiler cut )

Agents of SHIELD- Some surprising reveals. ( spoiler cut )

Person of Interest- Ha, did they really not know that!? ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Agents of SHIELD- Hmm, was it a carefully constructed plan, or a spur of the moment thing given the situation? ( spoiler cut )

Person of Interest- Some people seem to dislike these kinda eps. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Selfie- Woah, that Renee Zellweger reference was pretty timely. I had only seen articles today about how she no longer looks like she used to. So its weird for them to make a reference to it all of a sudden- its not like South Park where they can just throw things in without a lot of lead time.

Flash- Hmm, interesting new take on events. ( spoiler cut )

Agents of SHIELD- Heh, it would've been a twist if it hadn't been spoiled all over the place. ( spoiler cut )

Person of Interest- Well, well! ( spoiler cut )

There is way too much TV on Tuesday- NCIS, Selfie, The Flash, Supernatural, Agents of SHIELD, Person of Interest, Sons of Anarchy, Faking It. It also gives me a lot of reblog fodder on tumblr- Karen Gillan looking all hot on Selfie, as well as Skimmons, Shoot/Raw, and Karmy gifsets because I'm ghey like that.

TV commentary:

NCIS- Aw, those last few minutes were so sad, but I suppose hopeful. ( spoiler cut )

Sons of Anarchy- Well, things come to a head. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Agents of SHIELD- So that's one thing resolved. ( spoiler cut )

Person of Interest- Interesting. ( spoiler cut )

Faking It- Aw. ( spoiler cut )

Is it ghey that whenever I see My Best Friend's Wedding is on TV, I have to watch the scene where they all sing "I Say A Little Prayer For You" in the restaurant?

Anyways, I vaguely remember realizing a few years ago that the other debutante sister who wasn't Rachel Griffiths was played by Finch's gf/Arlene from True Blood. (Speaking of actresses on True Blood, I had no idea Holly Cleary was Julia Louise-Dreyfus' sister until a few weeks ago) But in watching the scene again a few minutes ago, I didn't realize Castle's mom was in this movie. Its kinda funny to see two characters who nowadays are known for their really red hair on the shows they're on totally not being redheads almost 2 decades earlier. Which, holy crap, the movie is that old?!

So here's a list of the 2013-2014 prime time programs, ranked by nielsen rating. So the top 10 are:

1) NBC Sunday Night Football
2) Big Bang Theory
3) NCIS
4) NCIS: LA
5) Dancing with the Stars
6) The Blacklist
7) The Voice
8) Person of Interest
9) The Voice, Tuesday edition
10) Blue Bloods

I'm amused that most of the non-reality/sports shows on that list are CBS, except for the Blacklist. I had no idea it was so popular. Also, I didn't realize NCIS: LA was that popular. I mean, I actually like it more than normal NCIS now, since its a lot more action oriented, I just didn't think it would be back to back.

But I guess that the fact they are actually back to back in the schedule helps it a lot. Same for Person of Interest. Tuesday nights is a ratings juggernaut for CBS, with all of their Tuesday night programming being on the top 10 in viewership (according to the Nielsens) But yeah, its cool to see Person of Interest is up there. What's not to like:

1) action and intrigue
2) kinda sci-fi-ish
3) they're not too heavy handed with their political commentary
4) hot chyx like Amy Acker and Sarah Shahi
5) The fact that said hot chyx are totally shippable as a hot bad-ass lesbian assassin couple. (still don't know if the better portmanteau is "shoot" or "raw") Whatever, you can't tell me Root isn't relentlessly flirting with Shaw whenever they talk.

If they could somehow work a musical number in there, it'd be my perfect show.

TV commentary:

Person of Interest- Interesting, so now we know what pushed Collier to join vigilance. ( spoiler cut )
