I'm actually posting stuff more than once every couple of weeks?

I'm going to try to start posting more regularly again.  Because bottling things up inside is bad for you.  And also I feel creepy when all I do is lurk.

1. Blood work I got back yesterday showed I am Vitamin D deficient. Which could be contributing to my fatigue. I mean, we know my TSH is a lot higher than it's supposed to be, so I don't expect to feel 100% better. But I am hoping taking supplements will help with at least some of the symptoms and make it easier to function.

2. In BSG alumni news, Rekha is on tonight's episode of Nikita, though I'm not sure how big her role is. James Callis will be appearing in the October 22 episode of Merlin.

3. Nikita - I've already posted about how I'm already shipping Sean/Alex. IDK why, but their dynamic just works for me in a hate-that-you-know-is-going-to-turn-into-somthing-else kind of way. And this interview with Lyndsy confirms that. I like the idea of two people who don't like or trust each other having to work together to survive, and then maybe starting to change their minds about the other based on what they learn about each other. That works a lot more for me than the Love At First Sight BS that was Alex/Nathan, and many other couples lately on other shows, it seems like.

So I made a post on tumblr about them, and so far the only response is from someone who reblogged to say "don't give no fuck". Now, I don't care if people don't ship the same as me. Apparently there's a large portion of fandom that ships Alex/Owen for some reason. I don't personally understand that at all, but I don't need to, they can ship who they want, and more power to them if that's something the writers want to do down the road. I can understand not liking another person's ship. I can even understand starting a discussion with that person. But I'm really irritated because it was just so...pointless. If someone had reblogged to say why they don't like the idea (perhaps some don't want to see Alex in an emotionally difficult relationship because of her past and thinking she deserves a break, or something, IDK). I'm just, like, really hung up on this now. Am I being too sensitive, or was that a dick thing to do?

Oh, and I love that there are already vids, even though there have only been two episodes.



Never change, fandom.

4. And speaking of shows that air tonight, I'm irritated that the promo stills for Supernatural episode 7X04 (next weeks ep) aren't out yet. Going by the timeline of the release for stills for the first three eps, they should have been out at the beginning of this week. I guess I can at least look forward to the promo after to nights ep. THERE HAD BETTER BE ALONA IN THE PROMO.

I think it's completely unnecessary and rude to reblog something (a gif,a pic etc. Or in your case some kind of discussion entry) just to add something negative. They could at least said something more constructive...

James Callis on Merlin? That is kinda weird *lol*

I can't wait to see James Callis on Merlin. It's going to be hilarious, there's no way it won't be.

Also, tumblr is evil! When I looked on my feed, "don't give no fuck" is what showed up with the reblog. When I went and looked at that persons tumblr (I was curious if they shipped something rival or anything like that), the full text they reblogged with was "OTP is OTP. I don’t give no fuck." KIND OF AN IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE.

Nikita-I don't care for him yet, and find the interactions a bit forced so far? But not really any more so than early Nikita/Michael bits, and unlike Alex's other 2 love interests (though I really think they need to stop having her with a love interest all the time, especially as I think they're shoving that part of her pre-Nikita past under the rug), there's the potential for it to actually be interesting to me. Also, he has yet to do anything particularly obnoxious and doesn't appear to have a Nice Guy inside waitingh to pounce on us.

Do Alex and Owen even know each other exists aside from "that other rogue agent" and "that mole Nikita asked me to heklp that one time."

It's ridiculous how much I'm shipping them, because there really isn't any reason for it yet. I think maybe it's because Nathan was so bland and his story with Alex so rushed and badly handled all the way around, it's a relief to have a male love interest who's a) at least mildly interesting on his own (I'm curious about his backstory), and b) has a point in the plot outside of being a love interest. I think the potential is key. Like, they really haven't done anything to be worth shipping but they have potential and so my brain is full of vague fanon/theories about the future and I'm getting excited about that? I guess? IDK, my brain...

And word on the love interest. I think it's unfortunate that the girls can't ever be single. I mean, that was why the network made them introduce Ryan and Nathan last yr - Nathan so Alex would have someone after Tom and Ryan because even though Nikita had a love interest in Michael god forbid she not be romantically attached during their 'rough' period.

Of course, I'm also a serial shipper, so while I lament that we must constantly have love interests even when not really necessary, if the love interest in question is a little bit interesting and the actors work well together, and neither character is a rage inducing asshole, I'll probably end up shipping it
