Woo-hoo about the ratings! I have to admit I feel a bit of schadenfreude about how much BW is sucking in comparison, because NBC promoted the hell out of that show and the writing on that show is just so bloody awful. Seriously, from winning the time slot at its debut to the 4th? That's gotta hurt. *cackles*
The post-Heroes boost could be a boon for this show, especially the two-parter has some juicy development in the conspiracy, which then can lure the viewers to the Wednesday slot. Hmmm, does that mean that Journeyman is going away? I haven't watched that show since the pilot, but I gather it has since improved?
askye - well, at least my rant validates the fact that you were correct. You knew that Graham was a Bad Guy from Minute One (because it's a Trope that's so Done it's got bare patches worn into it). Hear that Bro-of-askye? She was right, you were wrong, neener!
And your brother still sounds like mine. Mine also enjoys "discussions" (loud ones), so sometimes seems to say things he knows will irritate me to try to set me off. I'm incredibly non-confrontational so this makes me uncomfortable, but he doesn't seem to get that.
So, I guess what I'm saying is bask in the glow of solidarity, My Sistah!
This post brought to you by the fact that I'm stuck covering phones for the Receptionist's lunch because her usual coverage is out sick and even though I have to try to do both my own job and P's, I clearly have nothing but time on my hands so being up here for an hour or so really shouldn't be a problem.

That tag will not be closing for a while to come I think.
'Course, as long as I can't properly do my job from here, at least it frees me up to hang with you charming folks. Yay, Brightside!
Is there any Life Fic being written? I know it's not really the kind of show that gets to be a big fandom, but I hope there's a small following.
there's an lj community that I found just a couple of days ago with fic. Lemme dig it up.

"The Edge of"
made me laugh and laugh: [link]
The stories out of that comm so far have been short, but mostly decent. Sadly, there seem to be a few people there who have embraced the unfortunate pairing portmanteau of "Creese" for Crews/Reese. I'll spare you my usual rant about the evils of smooshed pairing names as I have no energy right now to froth at the mouth.
Ooh, that
is
an ufortunate name.
"The Edge of" made me laugh and laugh:
Oh, I liked that ficlet a lot. The voices were perfect. I also dug aj's "Trifecta." Angsty sex and partnership issues -- what's not to like?

Don't worry I'm rolling my eyes so hard I hurt something.
The only smooshed name I don't have a problem with is Clex and that's because of the cheesiness factor and I can't help but consider all of SV cheesy.
I liked The Edge Of. i'llhave to check out the comm when i'm not at mom's house.

The voices were awesome. I could so see that going down on the show. (I didn't realize there was now a rating/category called "LOLSex", which is just funny in itself)
"Trifecta"
was quite good.
