NEW TV and WRITING

Terra Nova continues to be awesome. I love pretty much everybody on it. I just wish they could tell us more about what the year 2149 was like. I know we know the gist of it, but some flashbacks wouldn't be remiss, show. And I know the point of the show isn't that the characters dwell in the past, but look to the future, and yadda-yadda ya, but if they don't look to the past every once in a while, they'll end up making the same mistake. And there won't be a rift in the time-space continuum then that they can escape to. Just sayin'.
Sped through the first season of Spooks/M1-5 which was kinda easy for me since it was only six episodes. I have spoiled myself on the subsequent seasons and if it weren't for Rupert Penry-Jones and Richard Armitage appearing in later seasons, I'd just give up now.
Psych is back!! Yay. The show is kinda ridiculous in a campy, I-don't-think-that's-quite-how-you-do things sort of way, but I love that it can be a silly crime show. You can laugh for an hour and I appreciate that. The sixth season premiere episode was so freaking awesome.
There was fic posted over the weekend. cover the earth with roses (Persuasion) and I told her all my heart (North & South). They're really short but I've found it's quite hard to try to write for period dramas if you totally don't want to be OOC (for either the characters or time period).

And I continue to watch way too much tv and movies. I blame Netflix. That devil.

So sga_santa is live and I've decided NOT to participate this year, which, yeah bums me out a bit but I think it's for the best. I still have my romcom story I need to finish (this is the amnesty period and if I don't get it done by the new year, I have no idea what I'll do with myself).
So the new owners of Delicious have moved in. Ugh. I'll miss the old layout. Also: Delicious, I'm pretty sure I had a ton more tags than the ones I'm currently able to see on the side.
I watched the two-hour premier of Terra Nova last night. I pretty much loved it. Dinosaur-themed shows aren't particularly my cup of tea, but there's time travel and mysteries and Landon Liboiron. So. (Google says he's my age. I'm choosing to believe this because it tickles me.) I'm in love with the whole Shannon family. And Skye. Skye, it took me a while to warm up to her, but by the end of the episode, I was totally rooting for her. And, kinda surprising, I like Commander Taylor too. I know he's creepy to most people and he's definitely hiding something but I don't think he's wholly evil. I don't think the Sixers are wholly evil too, even if, judging by the first episode, we are led to believe that they're the bad guys because they've separated from everybody else on the colony. But it's early days yet so we shall wait and see.
