Lucy Talks

First posted at het_reccers for my tenure as special reccer for November.

My view of Longmire is informed by both the series and the books. I watched the series first, then started reading the books, and each enhances my appreciation of the other. I picture the series cast when reading. I love the relationships on the show and in the book series, and am definitely rooting for the Vic/Walt romance for the long haul.

These are five out of the mere forty fics on AO3. It's a tiny fandom yet, but I enjoy reading Vic/Walt almost as much as I enjoy a good Kara/Lee fic. Almost.

I've been having a hankering to rewatch Once More With Feeling, so I added that one DVD from season 6 to my Netflix queue and moved it to the top. I got it yesterday. I looked at it and apparently smiled some special way because my daughter asked me if I'd gotten some porn.

I grinned from beginning to end while watching, then watched the other three episodes while working on some paperwork, then went to sleep to Once More With Feeling yet again.

There is OMWF karaoke, with words! As if we don't all have the lyrics memorized already. Sheesh!

I've decided that I'll buy season 1 when it comes out in slimpack, then I'll buy season 6, because I love this episode too much to ever be without it again.

I easily picked up exactly where everybody was character-wise, and loved seeing things unfold, knowing what's coming up. It adds an extra poignancy to Anya's wondering and Willow and Tara fighting. I'd forgotten that this is the beginning of the big Spuffy thing.

I love the expressions on Brendan's face during Xander and Anya's retro-pastiche number, where he glances at the camera in surprise then changes words. It's just adorable, and so Xander to be getting ready to say "boobies" and decide to replace it with the innocuous "tight embrace."

The whole thing is just delightful and amazing. LOVE LOVE LOVE

I've reached the point in the first season when Jenko is replaced by Fuller, played by Steven Williams, who also happens to be an X Files alumnus.

Maybe it's this change in characters that I was waiting for, or maybe I hadn't reached a point where the characters' relationships with each had gelled. This last DVD I watched was more enjoyable than the first two, and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of the season.

I'll have to wait for that, though, because this DVD was messed up and wouldn't let me watch one episode, so I had to send it back to Netflix,necessitating a wait for the replacement.

Besides that, I got a hankering to rewatch Once More, With Feeling from Buffy season six, and I added that one and moved it to the top of my queue.

All Hail the Internet!

Well, it wasn't terrible.

Chris Klein is believable as a rich jackass, and he has a very nice six pack. Other than that, he's just kinda there.

Leelee Sobieski was much more fun in Glass Houses.

If I'd had to choose between the two guys, I'd have been all over Josh or whatever the hell his name was in this movie. Farmboy, buff from working outdoors, wholesome. Yeah. Definitely that one.

I think I saw the tail end of this on TV one day and was curious enough to put it on my Netflix queue. My curiosity is satisfied.

The bonus features consisted of trailers and other useless junk (OK, only useless when you don't really like the movie), including a disturbing video with Jessica and Nick singing to each other and getting all touchy-feely. Perhaps if it had been, say, James Marsters and geez, even Hillary Duff, it might have been less disturbing. This was just newlywed video masturbation (you know, them, not me). It was creepy.

Maybe it was just me.
