on another fandom note...

Ahahaha, I just went back to rewatch the very end of the Dollhouse pilot, and it absolutely 100% totally is Alan Tudyk watching the video of Caroline naked at the end there. You can just barely make out the profile of his face as he tucks her photo into the envelope for Ballard, and that is definitely Tudyk. Glee!

The latest episode was blandly entertaining. I am amused by Victor's crush on Sierra. Interviews with Tahmoh and Eliza indicate that episode six is where the network stops interfering and the Jossness of the show finally emerges, not to mention the overarching mythology, so I'm holding out for the next few weeks, anyway. I really hope this is true.

After all, shows generally take a little time to become good. The first few episodes of Sports Night were GODAWFUL, and look how awesome that series became (and was then abruptly terminated, of course). X-Files season 1 wasn't so hot, either -- a lot of mediocre monster-of-the-weeks interspersed with a few genuinely good episodes. So yeah. Fingers crossed.

Completely unrelatedly, I have fallen hard for the Winters/Nixon. I hear that this pairing is referred to as The Obvious in Band of Brothers fandom, and I am okay with that. Because their love is so obvious. I've been seeking out fic where I can -- through crack_van, mostly, since that tends to be my starting point for any new fandom -- but if anyone has any recs of this nature, please to be bringing them to my attention? (I know there are a few Webster/Liebgott fans on my flist. I mean you no harm. Those two boys are lovely, and I can certainly see the slash potential. But at the moment, I'm not particularly interested in the fic there.)

Thanks for the link to the Speirs fic! I suddenly feel the urge to revisit the fandom.

Sure thing! (It's amazing how it sucks you in -- I always have a pavlovian urge to go "Motherfucking Ronald Speirs!!!" whenever I see his name. All shall love BoB and despair!)

(Also, kaydeefalls? I did a little digging, and it looks like you want no_vices for your fix.)

Oh, yeah, I just dug that up myself. I'm always wary with general fic comms, because so many of the fics in any given fandom are just plain crap -- especially with popular pairings -- but I'll try wading through it. Thanks!

Speirs is so motherfucking crazy, he's hilarious. I love him just casually ripping the drapes off the walls of the Eagle's Nest as he loots his way across Europe.

Yeah, watching Harry Welsh swat his hand away from Hitler's silver is really kind of its own reward.

You know me, always happy to feed the habit help!

I have just finished watching Currahee. Damn, there goes my week...

(Ahaha. It took me ages to figure out that the actor's on Gossip Girl. One day I blinked and went "OMG that's Speirs! No wonder I thought he's hot.". I am slow sometimes.)

Now, I love GG, but there are so many times where it's more fun (and satisfying!) to imagine that Rufus is actually Speirs in disguise, and he's just biding his time before he offers somebody a cigarette.

There goes my juice. All over the floor. Oh woe.
