OUAT 2.18 Selfless, Brave and True

( spoilers )

Apparently it’s 10 years since The OC first aired (eek!) and I’ve been thinking, fondly, of it. My ideal show would be two, two and a half seasons long and some things would be ruthlessly cut, but a lot of the ridiculous would stay too. ( What I loved and what I didn't (Marissa) )

If a cheap set of season 4 DVDs passed me I would grab it like Julie and Kaitlin stole clothes from a charity stall that time.

It aired back in the day when I was writing more. There was loads of fics that I started, but never finished or got to a point where I was happy to post it. Before Taylor, there was Ryan/any-girl-but-Marissa fic – I even tried to write Ryan/Summer, though I never felt it. There was also a fic where Anna was a werewolf and very blase about it to Seth and Ryan's bemusement. There was – I am ashamed of this – a season 3 fic where Taylor goes homicidal and kills Marissa. And then there were a couple of attempted Kaitlin/Luke future fics because I wanted him to have had a relationship with all the Cooper ladies!?!? What DOES all of that say about my psyche?

I haven't posted for the past few days for various busy-making reasons, so there's a lot I want to write about.

Revenge season 2 finale or 2.22 The Truth part 2

( about which I have a lot more to say )

I have workers in doing noisy and messy stuff to the house, so posting recs seemed like a good distraction. They're mainly for fics, but also some fanvids.

OUAT ep 2.6 Tallahassee

( tick-tock )

Managed not to watch any TV so far this weekend, so The Mentalist joins the list of shows to catch up on. (Note to self: The Politician’s Husband should be on that list. Note to the BBC: why put it opposite The Good Wife?)

Once Upon a Time goes back to the 8 pm slot tonight, which doesn’t suit me (also, I wonder if they’ll make cuts? There was a move in one of last week’s fight scenes that made me think it was a good job it was after the watershed. And now I’m thinking of how oldfashioned I am.)

In other TV news, apparently ITV has the rights to show The Americans, which I think is a good thing – not necessarily that it’s on ITV, just that I’ll have a chance to see it.

I HAVE YET TO SEE IRON MAN 3. I haven’t been spoiled yet – honestly, I’m more worried by mundanes and trailers – and I’m not sure when I’ll be able to go and see it.

I finished Elizabeth Peters’s ‘Tomb of the Golden Bird’ today, which was fun. I thought she raised her game generally, with more zip to the plot and meatier character stuff. I suppose that the fact that it was set in the most famous season in Egyptology must have been good motivation. I got my mits on my copy in 2007, but had to wait until I’d read all the other books in the series first. Obviously.

Last night, I had some time to fill before OUAT started, but not enough to squeeze in a sitcom – who decreed that they have to be thirty minutes (including adverts) anyway? - so I watched some The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. It’s been a while.

( episodes 71 to 73 )

I need to watch the next episodes sooner, but I've been so busy catching up on stuff that's airing now. Revenge is the only show I'm still lagging on because of Easter; everything else I need to catch up on is because of scheduling.
