+ I am BEYOND EXCITED for Legend of Korra. I mean, just look at this:

( gif under cut )

BE HERE SOOOOON, KORRA. ♥_♥ (Those are hearts. In my eyes.)

+ I am trying not to care about DCnU AT ALL, but it's kind of hard when they're releasing gorgeous Cliff Chiang art for Wonder Woman #1. God, does this mean we are allowed to be a little hopeful? Could she finally have got a good creative team? Of course, in exchange for what may or may not be a good creative team, she loses her sister, at least for the moment. *headdesk*

+ The not toothache inducing adventures of Myka and Helena at Hogwarts by

thedevilsheart, Myka/HG, Harry Potter crossover. In which Professor Bering and Professor Wells rekindle their romance, also featuring a lovely cameo from Christina Wells. ♥

+ The Good Wife renewed, moved to Sunday opposite Desperate Housewives. \0/

This is a wonderful interview with Robert and Michelle King, where they have fun things to say about Alicia as a character and some thought on the direction the third season might be taking. This, meanwhile, is a lovely article on The Good Wife and its women:

“The show keeps asking: At the end of these women’s lives, what will success mean to each of them?”

These women could have followed stereotype. They include Jackie (Mary Beth Peil), the blueblood mother-in-law, who derives power vicariously through her marriage to a judge and by furthering her son’s ambition; Diane (Christine Baranski), a single, childless second-wave feminist who is the firm’s managing partner; the enigmatic investigator Kalinda, in her mid-30s, whose moral compass and sexual appetite keep viewers’ heads spinning (“She’s the most masculine fantasy figure and she’s probably mostly from me,” remarked Mr. King, who is directing the finale); Alicia, the 40-ish heroine, a working mother; and Grace (Makenzie Vega) her naïve, idealistic 14-year-old daughter.

Watching each of them wander off script, so to speak, is indeed at least half the fun.

ETA: Via

hibernate, here's another great interview with the Kings, wherein they say, among other things: ( possible spoiler for the next season )

+ Fringe has some casting news: ( you have probably heard this already )

This, meanwhile, is a fun post-finale interview with John Noble and Joshua Jackson, where they said the following things and won my heart COMPLETELY:

( blahblah )

If that weren't enough, Anna Torv said: ( this was all over tumblr )

+ Discussion on pre- and post-Crisis Wonder Woman; makes some fascinating points. Phil Hester comes across as a writer with a good grasp on the older stories - I hope after Odyssey (and whatever nonsense Flashpoint is up to) is over, he gets an opportunity to write Diana the way he wants to.

Also, people need to STOP speculating about the possible cancellation of Batgirl after Flashpoint. We all know they're going to do something gimmicky post-Flashpoint, but I don't want to hear ONE WORD about how Stephanie does not fit the role and Babs should be Batgirl again. Not a word.

+ Tumblr tells me that Tears aired exactly a year ago. ;__; Ya'll should sign up for

femslash11/

ladiesbigbang to make me feel better about losing Cara and Kahlan.

I have a feeling Legend of the Seeker will be my Firefly, aka the stupid show I'll never shut up about. I'm not sure how a silly, silly show like Seeker ended up being the ♥Show of My Heart♥. The heart has its reasons and all that.

Grading is hell. At least I have found my red pen.

This post in

scans_daily on Barbara's love for blondes however offered me great joy, especially the part where Peej - noticing Steph and Cass - says, 'You're picking them younger and younger, Oracle.' Someday, Steph is going to find out that Barbara's bitter ex-girlfriend thinks she's one of her ~conquests, and troll Babs for the REST OF HER LIFE. Possibly calling her 'Sugar mommy' all the time.

Also there was this: ( Quiet or... )

OMG LOOK IT'S WONDER WOMAN

+ So Tabrett Bethel has been cast in a pilot! \0/ ( further talk )

+ Meanwhile, I keep hearing all sorts of things about the Wonder Woman show and find myself getting excited despite myself. I mean, look at the cast: ( blah blah blah )

+ I have been watching The Good Wife. It's really great, I should've tried it sooner. To my pleasant surprise, ( spoilers )

+ You should go and read All The Days by

tcbg77: epic Cara/Kahlan story involving adventures, action and Cara's Feelings. ♥

So, Wonder Woman has been cast! ( images under cut )

Speaking of comics, is Batgirl the greatest thing ever or what? The Valentine's Day issue, featuring Klarion and his cat, had me all ♥_♥! 'Accio fist'! ♥ I think Steph is becoming my favourite Batgirl, which is saying something, given how I feel about her predecessors.

+ Just when everyone thought David E. Kelley's WW show wasn't happening after all, NBC has ordered a pilot. I'm going to be cautiously optimistic about this, I can't help myself! \0/

+ I watched Fringe, and now I want to write a love letter to Anna Torv's expressions in this episode. Although, to be very honest, all my Fringe episode reactions are love letters to Anna Torv in some way or the other. I'm not even ashamed. ( Fringe 3.10 Firefly )

It's good to know that the episode did pretty well on the Friday slot. Here's hoping for good things.

+ It's past 3. I should probably sleep.

+ Guys, you have to read what I got for

camelotsolstice: The Cupbearers, gen, The story of the Grail Quest is an old one, and mostly wrong. It's a gen fic featuring the OT4, Morgause and Elyan (that really made me squee - the Elyan voice here is a delight!), and the thing I love most about Merlin: family. ♥

And some more Yuletide, though I've haven't been reading much in the last few days: ( Warehouse 13, Calvin and Hobbes, Disney Princesses, Legend of the Seeker, Hellcats )

+ I watched a brilliant film today: Arekti Premer Golpo (Another Love Story - or should it be Just Another Love Story). Sometimes it's easy to forget that Bollywood is not the be all and end all of Indian cinema, so I've been taking some time to watch as many Bengali films as possible in the theatre. And, gah, it's hard to believe that we can make LGBT-themed films like this now (that seems to be doing fairly well, too *fingers crossed*). Although I kind of wish that there was less English dialogue in the non-flashback parts - it's not unrealistic in a contemporary setting, even more so given the protagonists, but some of the best dialogues would've been so much prettier if it weren't in English.

+ LOLDiana.

+ Speaking of comics, I was re-reading bits of No Man's Land the other day (dear

roga, do you know how many hours of my life has been wasted ever since you said I should read Gotham Central and NML? *shakes tiny fist*), and god, Huntress really breaks me. There's a lot of ridiculously OTT Batdickery in NML - to the point where it doesn't make sense! - but. Huntress. dcwomenkickingass had a great post about her last stand before Joker today, which said (among other things):

She won’t let the Joker win and she will defend the people inside with the last breath in her body.

That’s a hero. That’s a warrior, that’s a soldier. Helena has been among despair, hopelessness and misery for months. She’s been treated like dirt by the other Gotham heroes and left with virtually no phsyical or emotional support. She has had little food, little rest and no creature comforts. She’s been living in hell and yet she hasn’t given up. Despite the pain and the beatings she’s received, she holds her ground. As far as she’s aware there is no backup - she is the last line of defence between the Joker, a deeply terrifying madman, and the civilians. Defiant and proud, her one concession to his presence is to state ‘Bite me’.

She’s not doing it for glory or recognition. She’s doing it because it’s the right thing to do.

THIS. SO MANY HEARTS. ♥♥♥ The entire post is worth a read, but especially this.

+ I have recently discovered that my camera can, in fact, focus manually, thanks to my sister (since I was too stupid to figure it out), and have been playing with the feature ever since. It is hard, S. (BFF with a bad case of Obsessive Photographing Disorder) is a genius for doing such great stuff with it. I admit, since my sole focus while taking photos is usually 'ooooo pretty' and 'ooooo bright colours', I tend to forget about technique and finesse and other such things.

( ooooo bright colours )

+ I have not watched the latest House and last week's Nikita yet. Humph.

+ I have, however, watched Superman/Batman: Apocalypse, and

applesred, everything I heard was true: it's a great movie, packed with action and Diana is wonderful in it. It really felt more like an ensemble movie, with great roles for Diana and Big Barda, who have an absolutely EPIC battle scene in Apokolips. And, of course, Supergirl, who is in fact given more agency in the movie than she'd been in the comic (even if it meant we missed out on a fabulous Diana blocking Darkseid's Omega Beams with her bracelet scene because of the changes made). Also, Superman punches fire. Batman and Superman also have some adorable bickering, with Diana chipping in at times. In fact, the GREATEST SCENE in the movie involves Diana elbowing Bruce for being Mr. Crankypants, I don't have words for how adorable it is.

( GREATEST. EVER. )

+ I was really missing Cara and Kahlan today. A good thing I had

hibernate's

lotsbigbang to read, which is so fabulous that I inhaled the story and am now mostly speechless and overwhelmed. Overwhelmed with ~feelings. So please do yourselves a favour and go and read Confession, and Other Trouble a Mord'Sith Can Get Into. It is about Cara and Kahlan having a lot of feelings. I have hearts in my eyes. ♥_♥

+ OLIVIA DUNHAM, DEFENDER OF THE UNIVERSE. ♥

Dear

hibernate, I believe this Fringe video to be Relevant To Your Interests. Especially the bit around 1:20, wherein they discuss 'part man, part machine' creatures designed Over There.

+ Apparently, a JLA movie is in the works, which may not feature Batman and Superman in favour of 'introducing' WW, MM and Aquaman to the general audience. I can't see a JLA movie without the two of them, and neither do I understand why Diana needs to be 'introduced' in a JLA movie instead of a movie of her own, but that's not what I want to talk about right now. Fans are speculating about who will play Diana, and one name that frequently comes up in discussions is none other than our very own Bridget Regan (who, if I recall correctly, once mentioned that she grew up worshipping WW). It's just fan speculation, obviously, but I absolutely love the idea of B as WW. She's got the height, she's got the figure, she's got the blue eyes, and most importantly, if anyone can sell Diana's particular combination of sweet, wise and scary, not to mention a kick-ass warrior, it's her.

I offer Proof. ( large images under cut )
Also check out Nigel Halsey's gallery for a few more manips, all beautifully done.

+ I am slowly gearing up for the return of Merlin. I haven't looked at spoilers or any of the trailers, let alone fan reactions to the screening of the first two episodes, because I think not reading fan reactions is the key to enjoying ones shows. I think I am more or less prepared for the inevitable Evil McEvil Morgana, but I still don't how I'll cope when her relationships with her friends fall apart. Sigh. And maybe they'll tell Arthur things this season? A girl can hope.

+ I wrote 100 words yesterday. It was hard. Then I gave up and rewatched Legend of the Seeker. BTW, it's hilarious how Kahlan has Cara (and Richard and Zedd) wrapped around her little finger, without even trying.

+ I'm still waiting for my copy of Mockingjay arrive so that I can talk about it, and the other two books. I also read Unseen Academicals, which was great fun, and then re-read a bunch of other Discworld books. The Sister seems to have misplaced my copy of The Fifth Elephant, humph.

Speaking of Discworld,

roga drew Death putting on nailpolish! Go tell her how cute and awesome it is. <333

+ I may or may not have slept more than humanly possible in the past 72 hours. Stress, this is how I react to it. By sleeping and pretending it does not exist.

+ The rain has disappeared. Whywhywhy? Y U NO LUV US ANYMORE, RAIN? :((

+ The OCTOPUS ORACLE has spoken: champions Spain, and Germany for third place. The Spanish team loves him and wishes to rename him ~~George~~ Pablo. PETA has demanded his release. MEANWHILE, it seems that the OCTOPUS ORACLE has competition, because the PSYCHIC PARAKEET (also with 100% record in this World Cup) has picked Holland instead. Who shall prevail? Spain or Holland? OCTOPUS ORACLE or PSYCHIC PARAKEET?

This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last.

+ My sister has taken to Fringe incredibly well, and I seem to have used up all my phone balance responding to her increasingly agitated messages as she finishes S1 and heads on to S2. Never say I'm not training her well, flist. Speaking of which, WHY ARE YOU GUYS NOT WATCHING IT TOO, WHO SHALL I SQUEE WITH WHEN THE NEW SEASON STARTS? EXPECT PIMP POST SHORTLY, AS SOON AS I'M DONE WITH WHAT I'M SUPPOSED TO BE DOING.

Someday, when I'm done with all Education-related Crap and have time to write fan fiction again, I would very much like to write a Olivia story with ( spoilers for s2, sort of )
