OTPs: I Has Them
Jan. 30th, 2010 12:44 am In a very strange turn of events, I am almost entirely caught up with current canon on several of the shows I am currently obsessing over. This never happens! I am the person who took a three month hiatus in the middle of getting caught up to season four of Supernatural to watch Due South and Star Trek TOS instead! But right now I'm only one episode behind NCIS and Being Human, respectively, and only because I'm saving them for later in the week.
1. So, Tony and Gibbs are living together now, right? That is supposed to be canon? Because even if I didn't have coke-bottle slash goggles, I honestly don't know how else I'm meant to be reading this scene, especially since Gibbs said to his dad a few episodes ago that the guest bedroom wasn't a guest bedroom anymore. It really is bizarrely domestic on both their parts, and Tony is way too comfortable on his boss's couch. I swear, most of the time I am all over the Tim/Tony, but every once in awhile TPTB will toss me something like this and I'll start wondering how I missed the episode where Gibbs and Tony drive up to Connecticut to get married.
2. The second episode of this season of Being Human started with Mitchell SWEATY AND SHIRTLESS AND TIED TO A CHAIR. And then we find out that the guy who tied him up is his gay vampire housemate. So...I'm just going to take the threesome sex as writ. Especially since Mitchell's new boyfriend throws a jealous snit over it. Oh George, I love you, even when you are a dick. On the other hand, why is Nina going away? I love her and her short angry werewolf awesomeness, show! Don't take her away! As much as I love Mitchell's sad!doctor, she is no replacement for Nina. I am also not all that pleased that every time something bad happens to Annie she loses all her character development and goes invisible again. What happened to all the strength and self-assurance she got from finally standing up to Owen last season?
3. This is not spoilery at all, but for reasons beyond explanation I've been rereading the Troubleshooters series by Suzanne Brockmann this week, or more accurately the parts of the Troubleshooters series that have Jules in them, and oh my god I love these books with a ridiculous, completely illogical amount of soppy glee. For those not in the know, the Troublershooters books are a romance series about Navy SEALS, FBI counter-terrorist agents, and a private security team made up of Navy SEALS and FBI agents, and Jules is one of the major recurring characters, a tiny, pretty FBI agent who could not be more bad-assed if he tried (seriously: in one book he drives off a cliff, gets shot, climbs a mountain, and blackmails the president. HE IS AWESOME). He's also screamingly gay, and has a multi-book romance arc with Robin, an alcoholic closeted actor, that pushes every button I have ever had. Broken people who don't quite know how to do this relationship thing? Check. Going batshit because your love object is threatened? Check. Very public declaration of love (on a drug dealer's boat, in front of a helicopter news crew)? Check. Squishy domestic marriage fic with bathroom renovations and early morning smooching in bed and laser tag with former special ops soldiers? Check. SEX IN A LIMO CHECK. I LOVE THEM SO MUCH YOU GUYS.
