prison for jerks

I have decided that I want the AU where Mikeyway is off in the city being a temp worker being a boring clerical office drone and then he and Pete meet one day on Mikeyway's morning commune. Because! You know that Pete is That Guy, the one who sits next to you even though there are still empty suits around. The one who strikes up a conversation even though you are clearly listening to your iPod and avoiding eye contact. Maybe even the one who maybe sees you at a show a couple weeks back and lands a subtle inquiry with your good friend Gabe or Alicia to find out who you are and stalks you a little and figures out your schedule and carefully plans when the best time might be to approach you, because you have to think of these sorts of thing and what would make the best story to tell everybody about how you two got together.

Peeeeeeeeete and Mikey sittin' in a tree. THAT IS ALL I WANT, PEOPLE.

PS OMG THIS SEASON'S HEROES IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE TRAINWRECK. I AM IN LOVE. HORRIFIC LOLZY LOVE.

My only comment about Heroes: ( not really spoilery )

You guys, was I just imagining it, or were two of the guest characters this week named Quesada and Didio? Seriously?

Theory That Struck Me Today:

Caroline Morrison on "ReGenesis" is what Weir on SGA would be like if Weir was totally awesome.

Another Thing About Heroes::

Man, I know all the troublesome stuff about, you know, being totally evil and stuff, but nonetheless, I am in love with the relationship between Claire and her daddy. Because, seriously, I have a button a million miles wide. fox1013 and I were talking earlier about daddy issues; while much of fandom seems to have the "I've been a bad, bad little kid. Spank me!", we both have more of the "DADDY'S LITTLE GIRL WAAAAAAAAAH" thing going on.

There are lots of relationships that hit this button for me, but the classic is Jack and Sydney Bristow from Alias, which is my one true gen relationship FOREVER. Lilith and David on ReGenesis actually made me cry last night, in episode 1x08. Buffy and Giles, on the times when I'm not sexualizing them at all, can fulfill the same thing for me, despite the non-related-ness. Oh, and BSG: Kara and Adama are my favorite relationship on the show, even when I'm conflicted about everything else.

(Actually, a lot of the things that make me cry fit here. S2 Buffy and Giles, yep. Jack and Sydney, yep. My first year away at college, I came home and watched the freaking Land Before Time with my family and cried when Sarah the three-horn was reunited with her daddy. I don't even know!)

(And in comics! Babs and Jim Gordon! Roy and Lian! *sniffle*)

Okay, so, based on the first two episodes of Regenesis, I can say with some certainty that my friends list was indeed right: Peter Outerbridge is totally, totally hot.

(I had my doubts! Just a little! Because, um, I still think of him as Lennox, you know? But ... yes.)

Also, Ellen Page looks freaking awesome here; that's a flattering haircut. And the two of them sitting around smoking and eating ice cream is kind of the best thing ever.

In other news, three and a hours until BRAND NEW Grey's Anatomy, WOOOOT.

Also, yesterday I got myself some pretty Heroes icons, which I think will come in very useful in the future. The one with this entry I made myself; the following two were made by liviapenn and mimesere, respectively:

Okay, I've given Studio 60 three tries, and I'm giving up. It's a good show, but it just ... nothing has grabbd me yet. All the characters are kind of the same, and they're all really cranky. So, three strikes and you're out: sorry, new show! I tried!

Heroes, on the other hand, I am totally in love with after two episodes. I make loud sounds of BWEEEEEEEEEE. More now please!

( Vague comments on the show )

I am currently downloading season one of Battlestar Galactica -- I saw the miniseries and the first episode before and didn't care for it too much, but I figure I'll give it one more try.
