cimoreneAlong with catching up to the season finales of our favorite shows (CSI, Bones, Lie to Me, Criminal Minds, Dollhouse), we also watched the Supernatural finale in the last couple of days (while I was wasting away, gradually coughing up damp bits of lung: seriously, the NoobFlu sucks) (I don't know if it still qualifies as one of waxjism's favorite shows, but if it does, I prefer not to know about it. I'm just watching so the Dean/Castiel fanfiction will make sense). And, like, just a few episodes ago Wax and I were saying "You know, I really like Ruby, and not just because this actress is really hot" and "I hope she doesn't turn out to be evil". It's not like we were holding out any hope, but the finale was still really WHOA-revolting in the Misogynist Visual Symbolism and Stereotypes Sweepstakes. I can't believe that I occasionally see people blaming the misogyny on the fanbase. That right there was the woman-hating coming from inside the building (of canon writing), and from several directions simultaneously (and increasingly poisonously). Ew. Just... ew.
In CSI news, Lawrence Fishburne continues to be retina-searingly awesome and adorable, and yet somehow, the overall production levels, budget for secondary characters, and writing have kicked up a notch on this already-outstanding show, and he's not even really the most awesome part. I'd say the increased subplots for all the beloved secondary characters are, especially Hodges and the Coroners.
And in Lie to Me news, they must have got a budget increase with being renewed, because besides keeping Sean Patrick Thomas as a recurring for Monica Raymund's hot, hot Secret Service boyfriend, they've added Mekhi Phifer as a new regular, and he's providing ass-kicking, FBI training, and access-character perspective (someone not indoctrinated in Tim Roth's truth-detecting methods) as well as intriguing signs of possibly being a Natural. Oh, and a nice current of burgeoning Mentor relationship with Tim, too: he's about the same age as Brendan Hines (Loker), but Loker's already graduated the Mentor School and has a more adult relationship with the boss. Other signs also point to Jennifer Beals as Tim's ex-wife continuing to recur frequently, to which I have only this to say: she's way too hot for him. I love me some Tim, but dude, he's an ankle-biting, charming little troll. There's no way he'd score with her.
And Dollhouse continues to be obviously trying, and apparently unaware that it's still failing regardless. Sort of like a puppy. Well... at least it's trying? And it's very entertaining. I vote for lots and lots more Alan Tudyk next season.
