152 insights into my soul

Heh, on the way to or from dinner with the usual suspects last night, was talking with clevemire about the YJ episode and how Stephanie Brown was apparently in the ep (not that they mention her by name, I figured she was just random blond with lines, it wasn't until reviews I saw later that people were all, "OMG, Stefanie Brown!"). And he mentioned the Stephanie Brown conspiracy, and how all these DC folks have been wanting to use her, and the higher ups keep telling them "NO!" even their star writers who had carte blanche! Or like, just when she came back alive and was getting a juicy new storyline, the new 52 happened and she was no longer around. Apparently the theorists joked that they got wind of Stephanie Brown being in that YJ ep and that's why they pulled it.

TV commentary:

SVU- Ah, that one chick who always plays young Russian/Eastern European hookers. Well, except for in the Good Guys, when she was a lab tech or whatever. Or Criminal Minds, when she was actually the mastermind pretending to be an innocent victim. Or on Buffy as one of the other chyx who had a crush on the guy with the magic jacket. And on In Plain Sight, she was involved with the Russian mob, but not as a hooker. Nor was she one in that commercial where she has the umbrella, or the State Farm commercial. But she was one in Nikita. (Hey, she has a memorable look, so I remember when she's on shows I watch) I always thought she was kinda hot in that ultra-skinny Russian hooker kinda way.

And weird, with having Eames showing up. That's kinda a random person to have reprise their role, given she was on Criminal Intent, not SVU. Though I guess they did have Cutter show a bunch to do lawyer stuff after original L&O was canceled.

Criminal Minds- Hmm, interesting where they're going with Hotch and special lady friend. ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Fringe- So we're slowly starting to get more info on the years between the season finale and the time jump. ( spoiler cut )

Young Justice- Wow, as clevemire said, this show could really use some previouslies! Particularly since there was so much time that had passed between eps. ( spoiler cut )

Thing I'm doing to entertain myself currently:

- Reading IDW's Infestation cross-over event.
- Watching Luther on Netflix.
- Finishing up getting almost everything for everyone in DW7: XL, so I can start on WO3 (which I just bought from the Playstation store and have currently downloading slowly to my PS3)

TV commentary:

Common Law- You know, I don't know why people are getting onto Wes for not moving on. Or rather, for still being in love with his ex-wife. Its not like he ever fell out of love with her- they made it clear in the pilot that after he quit being a lawyer to become a cop, she wanted a divorce because she didn't want to be a cop's wife and be constantly worrying about him.

( spoiler cut )

Young Justice- So we had the time jump to 5 years later this season, but now apparently we've gotten a glimpse of the future 40 years from the current time line, where Impulse has come back from the future to try and prevent the desolation we see there. ( spoiler cut )

Legend of Korra- Okay, Ikki accidentally and nonchalantly mentioning to Asami that Korra likes Mako was kinda hilarious. Though was she totally oblivious to that fact?! ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Young Justice- Heh, we finally learn the fate of the rest of the team. ( spoiler cut )

Legend of Korra- Wait, Mako is voiced by Bud Bundy? That's so weird! Heh, and now the show has made me feel sorry for that a-hole Wolfbat guy. He may have been a cheating dick, but it would definitely suck to lose such an intrinsic part of you. ( spoiler cut )

Saw the Avengers yesterday with the usual suspects. Great movie, totally awesome. After, went to the ex-roomies for food and games. Lots of skirt steak and sausage and chicken and wot-not, tasty as usual. We were intending to try several new games, but we played the Game of Thrones strategy game, which took damn near 10 hours, I think. It was fun though. As I said, my strategic thinking sucks. I'm just no good at coming up with a big plan for winning. I'm too single minded and don't often think beyond the next battle. But I think I do okay on a tactical level.

( boring game stuff )

Also tried the Locke and Key card game. Its a pretty fun game.

TV Commentary:

Young Justice- Interesting, were we supposed to know the son of that one chick M'gan based her human form on whom she gave a blood transfusion to was going to become Beast Boy? And what the, why the hell did Superboy dump MM? Because he'd always look young and handsome even though he was aging internally? Like the Alanna chick said, it can't be because she would get old while he stayed eternally young, making it all awkward, because MM is a shapeshifter, so she could look as young and hot as she wanted too! It does not make cents!

Legend of Korra- Heh, when Pema was giving love advice to Korra and she told the story of how Tenzin was in love with another woman and how it killed her to see her soul mate with the wrong person, all I thought was, you mean like how his mother was with the wrong guy?!

Also, I'm still kinda confused about pro-bending rules. So, you win a round if you "conquer" more territory within the time limits. Knocking other team members off does help, since that's less defenders. But normally you're just pushing all the team members back an area so that you're territory is at least past the half way mark. But apparently, if you knock all the opposing team members out of the ring in one single round, that's an automatic victory?

TV commentary:

Young Justice- So all is finally revealed! ( spoiler cut )

TV commentary:

Young Justice- How is Black Spider not considered a total Spiderman rip-off? And hmm, I'm still confused as to who the mole on the team is. ( spoiler cut )

Degrassi- The whole think with KC and his son was confusing. I would think if you gave your baby up for adoption, and the people went so far as to change its name (which, they can do that? I mean, its not like he and Jenna gave it up straight away, they struggled to take care of it before giving up. It just seems weird to me that they'd change the name after it had the other name for several months. Although I guess its a baby, it wouldn't know the diff), you'd think they wouldn't want the birth parents around, as it would lead to confusion. Plus, KC seems like he's on his way to pulling a Quinn.

I still find the fact they're going back to Imogen/Eli also weird. I mean, last year, didn't she convince him not to continue taking his pills, and then she started dressing and acting like Claire? Its just last year she seemed kinda crazy. Now this year, she's the normal one, tip-toeing around his bi-polar disorder. Whatever, the promos have revealed Eli's prolly going back to Claire, and Imogen and Fiona will start being a thing.
