The Chickens are in the Hayloft.

So while I was in Vancouver I was forced facilitated into the viewing of "Suits".  I knew that chunks of my flist had gone happy for the show, but I'd put off watching it.  Mostly because I didn't want to get sucked into another fandom at the time.  I was quite happy with Hawaii Five-0 and tend to stick to one fandom at a time.

Anyway, after an all night marathon with friends I was completely sold.  I've been enjoying several other of USA's shows for the same reasons I enjoyed Suits.  The characters (both male and female) are smart and well developed.  Even the "bad guys" tend to be more than one-dimensional.

Not going to lie, the blatant slash between Harvey and Mike doesn't hurt but my enjoyment of the show is so much more than that.  It makes me laugh and even pulls at the heart from time to time.

Because "Suits" went over so well, I decided to give "White Collar" a try.  I'm half-way through first season (unfortunately I have to fit work in with the viewing this time) and I'm loving it for all the same reasons.  It's smart, I like both Peter and Neil (and I LOVE ELLE), it's made me laugh out loud several times.  The one downside is I can't bring myself to fully slash Peter and Neil unless it's an OT3 with Elle.  Did I mention my love for her?

So...anyone want to share their squee on "Suits", "White Collar" or other USA shows?  Any good fics or vids you'd like to rec?

This was actually going to be a "I'm going to sit and bitch about work and fannish stuff and you're going to like it!" post, but I've decided to just post happy things instead.


- I have new bookshelves arriving soon.  I'm redecorating and they are the next step in my master plan of awesome.
- I have new yarn.  I got my hair done on Sunday and the yarn store is next door.  It's really a no win situation.
- I'll be heading up to Vancouver in a week and a half for my birthday. SQUEE!

Donna Noble (and Catherine Tate) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than anyone EVER.

Such an awesome episode. Can't wait for next week and then the finale.

Though ( speculation based on casting spoilers for both )

For those of you who don't watch Torchwood, I apologize. This LJ is going to be pretty much taken over by the subject for the next few weeks or so. It doesn't help that BBC keeps releasing clips and snippets and spoilers. EEEEEEEEEEE

There's a YouTube of the latest clip from BBC America under the cut with more spoilery, squeeing goodness. Umm...sorry.

As a side note, I'm looking for a cap of JB (either as Jack or not) to do an icon that says "Better than Buffy" on it. Those who've read the interviews with James Marsters know what I'm referring to.

Torchwood Trailer! EEEEEEEEEEEE

I can't wait another 3 1/2 weeks!!!!!!

( Behind the cut and obviously spoilers for Series 2. )
