So I watched the pilot episode of NYC 22 (as if I would miss it) and, on the whole, I found it surprisingly enjoyable. I went in fully expecting it to suck and privately dreading its inevitable premature cancellation, but the first episode was very encouraging; it moved along at a pretty decent clip without becoming incomprehensible (a lot of pilots try to do too much too soon) and set up a few potentially good story arcs.

My sole nitpick with it -- besides the extreme under-use of Stark, of course -- was that I'm pretty sure I can predict every rookie's early story arc based on these set-ups. Cut for those who haven't seen it yet )

We'll see if I'm right.

Anyone else out there have thoughts/#feelingz about it? TELL ME *grabby hands* In the mean time, I'll just be over here praying desperately for more looming and threatening and producing of handcuffs.

For my non-US flisties, this means my uni is officially praising me for being a horrible overachieving braniac with no life to speak of. I even get a shiny rope to wear with my cap and gown at graduation! \o/

I DON'T EVEN CARE THAT I HAVE A TEST TOMORROW, TODAY IS OFFICIALLY MADE OF AWESOME.

So I was watching this promo of NYC 22 (that we've all probably seen at least once already)  )

I have to confess, y'all, the part where Stark goes "It's drive time or overtime *busts out handcuffs* and I could use the money" left me almost totally paralyzed from the sheer volume of simultaneous dirty thoughts. I'd say that he's welcome to bust out the handcuffs and loom at me whenever he wants, but let's be real, this would probably be my reaction:

I would be the worst criminal ever (possibly deliberately) in that universe -- and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Just sayin'.

P.S. - If someone doesn't write a GK crossover AU with this, I might just cry. The potential for kink alone is FANTASTIC.

H'OKAY, internets, for those of you who haven't seen it yet (or can't due to country restrictions, blah blah blah), I took some screen caps of this NYC 22 featurette video...thingy

Cut to prevent autoplay )

[livejournal.com profile] looleebelle was ranting about how she couldn't see it, so I very nicely capped certain *ahem* pertinent sections for her -- and for y'all!

Complete with my usual flaily/capslocky commentary (liquid warning, obviously) )

I tried to get the least derpy shots of Stark that I possibly could but, amusingly, wound up getting amazingly derpy shots of everyone else in the process.

I'm theoretically supposed to be studying for a quiz I have tomorrow, but...

P.S. - Oh my lord Jesus there's a trailer -- a trailer that, if my eyes don't deceive me, involves Stark tackling a guy with a bat. I LOVE THIS SHOW ALREADY.

You know you've stopped giving a fuck about finals when you finish a 110 question multiple choice exam in just under an hour (this was for Abnormal Psych, in which I have a 97 average -- I could literally have skipped the final and still made a B). All that remains now is my Sociology final tomorrow (which is largely common sense) and my Sports Psych final on Friday (which is open note). Let the not giving a fuck continue!

But enough about my school work, it bores the hell out of me so I can't even imagine what it does to y'all. MOVING ON.

So, according to certain sources (scroll down to the CBS section), it appears that the odds of Rookies getting picked up (and running) are actually pretty good. Which, of course, means we fangirls stand a good chance of getting this on our T.V. screens on a weekly basis:

TAKE ME AWAY, OFFICER )

Lawd have mercy, pictures like that make a glamorous life of crime seem unbelievably tempting. And just think, if the show gets picked up then we'll have even more pictures like this one (or gifs, even....*_____*)

Unfortunately, that's really all I have for the moment since my life is currently going through a spectacularly boring period (and my muse is struggling a bit, so I can't even post fic to compensate). Oh well, maybe I'll do a lyrics challenge or a movie quote challenge at some point soon (I noticed the movie thing has been making the rounds again).
