so yeah, that happened....

In the past 25 hours, TWO goddamned tv shows have managed to kill me with the feels, both in utterly different ways:

Supernatural, by being the most cracktastic of crazylovestupid brilliant emotional manipulation and insane plots, tied up in a ribbon of pretty,

and Person Of Interest, for LeCarre-meets-Clancy shaken not stirred with a twist of bitter lime, and some of the most awesome female characters kicking ass and taking names (and the guys will break your heart).

The similarities? A steady hand on the writing-reins, and casts that rise to the occasion fucking brilliantly.

Anyone tries to tell me that commercial television is crap? Will be sneered at.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to go weep into my pillow for a while. And try to internalize the shit they did right, so I can use it on all of you...

I love Person of Interest and got the husband into it in the second season.}:P

Never got into Supernatural, but was that a season finale or series finale? The commercials I saw for it never said.

That was the penultimate episode of season 8, for Supernatural. One more to go, and then fandom shivers in anticipation of season 9....

Ah! Okies.}:P

The only bad thing about Person of Interest is that we have to wait until next September for more. IMO, anyway.

On a separate note, the Danny-and-Ellen backer bookmark showed up in my mailbox not too long ago. I squeed.

Yay!

(I need to send the next batch out tomorrow. Signing those suckers is taking longer than anticipated...)
