bad hand.

[ndnickerson]

bad morning. had dr's appt. was slightly dehydrated so now i have three holes in the backs of my hands and didn't actually manage to get blood drawn so have to go back and have that done. ARGH.

on the other hand i got lunch for free.

am working on a fic, have the first two-thirds done but just can't get the last third to work. maybe i'll be able to work on it tonight.

also, it looks like vince and kathryn are leaving law & order: ci? sometime in the middle of this season? hmm. honestly, i wish them well and love them to pieces, and if they wanted to move on and the showrunners wanted to do something new, so be it, although i really don't think making ci *more* like psych is the best move. like that last episode when goldblum was in that one scene and it ended so bleakly? yeah, that's not like psych.

which brings me to: i wouldn't ship goren/eames on the show. i think they care about each other a lot and basically are each other's family, in a way, except that the last few seasons have tried to mess with that dynamic, but i'd want their time on the show to end on a positive note, and *then* i'd want there to be post-show goren/eames fic. that's what i love about fic, being able to put them together later and everything not be quite perfect or awesome, but probably better than we would have seen on the show if that had happened.

and that's also why i'm mostly at peace for the chuck/sarah to be mostly unresolved. as long as they're both alive at the end of the show, there can be fic and it can be glorious. and even if they aren't both alive, that's what AU is for. although i really think that if they're able to plan the end of the show, it will be with the understanding that chuck and sarah will finally actually have a chance to be together somehow. and that's why the spoilers i've accidentally read about where they're going with S3 don't really bother me that much.

i really need to finish that fic before the show comes back and josses it.

Yeah, I'm not heartily impressed with the new writers for LOCI. The last season was... very mediocre. There were one or two really good eps, and the rest were so emotionally dry and very procedural. To an extreme, almost. I wasn't very entertained. Clearly the actors weren't either. I can't imagine standing around delivering exposition all day long is very exciting for an actor like VDO. No wonder he was restless.

I'm with you though. As long as they're both alive when they're phased out, I can rest easy. Shippy or friendshippy or whatever, I can work with that and imagine my own little ending that happens a year after they leave Major Case, when they decide they're meant to be together and move in together. :P

They never can get blood from me either. And considering I'm nervous around needles, that is not good.
I hope you feel better soon!

I'm going to be really interested to see how they write out Goren and Eames, since it sounds like there is going to be some kind of "passing of the torch" early in the new season. I'd be thrilled to see some acknowledgment of their special closeness, but it's far more likely that there will be nothing. As long as they don't kill either character off I'll be okay, I guess. Talk about low expectations, lol.

You bring up an interesting point about post-show fics, though. If they leave the MCS and suddenly have to define their relationship? That's a really interesting starting point!

I guess if Goren and Eames both end up alive and in NYC, that's the best I can hope for. I've always thought they had this mutual unrequited love thing going so I want to imagine them finally together.
