NCIS season finale

I could say I cared, but I'd be lying.

So... Jenny's dead. Vance is the new director. Franks stole random dead agent's "insurance policy." Ziva's fired (well the liaison position is terminate) McGee's reassigned to cyber-crimes, Tony's sent to the USS Ronald Reagan and Gibbs gets a new team. Oooh. Don't care. Sigh

Yeah. Really, it was a very slow and boring episode. It crawled slug-like across the screen until the end. Jenny's dead, so? Vance is annoying, but they always are when they first take the Director's position.

I admit, I am curious to find out how they're going to get the team back together, but after such a slow episode, I do find it hard to care.

At least it didn't depress the hell out of me like yesterdays episodes of Bones and House. They annoyed me too. Didn't like them at all.

how yeah- House especially was depressing as hell.

Oddly, I'd have liked this episode a lot more if there wasn't that final scene in Vance's office. So he's mysterious and shreds something in his own file. oooh. Then scatters the team to the wind. Big whoop. I doubt anyone out there in fandomland believes the team will NOT be back together after a few episodes.

The House finale was depressing as hell. It reminded me a lot of Donnie Darko, except a bit backwards.

It was vaguely humorous to watch the fandom slowly explode and attack itself as the House season finale played out... but damn, I really didn't want it to end that way

It's usually somewhat humorous to sit back and watch fandoms explode. I haven't even really been watching House this season, but that was an amazing and thoroughly depressing finale.

I've only vaguely watched the series in general. But the last handful of episodes (the last few before the strike and the three since) were amazing. and damn the finale was depressing. She's dead, and the friendship between H&W is all messed up

I really liked House's little exchange with her before he woke up, when he kept saying he didn't want Wilson to hate him.

oh god yes, because he was (for all intensive purposes) arguing with himself) That whole exchange was made of all kinds of win

holy cow- the end montage *big sigh*

The end montage is really what made me think of Donnie Darko. Seriously, the whole two part episode was totally Darko-esque, except the person who wanted to live is the one who died.

I *knew* the second we saw that Amber's leg was hurt that she was as good as gone but *damn* she was so good for Wilson and they were actually good together and *sigh*

I'm really interested to see how this is going to play out next season.

I don't have high hopes, but yeah, I can't wait either.

oddly, in general, I like House fanfic better than I like watching House. There's no boring POtW and people try to explain away House's supreme bastardness

My only expose to House fanfic is through

badfic_quotes, unfortunately. I bet explanations abound for his supreme bastardness.

I'm a sucker for

sick_wilson, there are a few really good authors. There's a lot of bad crap and a ton of absolutely horrific slash (which I, for the most part, avoid like the plague) but some is great

Sometimes you have to wade through all the horrible fic to get to the really good stuff. It's usually worth it, too.

very true. I've learned that the hard way with TW/DW. Now, if I don't recognize the author or get a rec I'm very cautious

Same here. I know the authors I like and I rarely venture any further.

when I get bored I try to venture further to find new writers, but usually I wind up hiding in horrors after that

I usually end up posting at

badfic_quotes after such excursions.

I don't have the courage to do a spork like that. Often it's not god awful, just poorly written dreck

I'm just really good at finding that one REALLY unfortunate line.

Like when the good guys are attacked by the evil Hommus terrorists? (I laughed so hard at that)

*dies* For some reason, I'm envisioning giant talking chick peas with bombs strapped to them.

:) It was supposed to be this deep dark depressing NCIS fic, but yeah, I kept wondering about the tasty dip and why it was so evil!

It's so evil because it's so delicious and it knows it.
