Goodbye to Chuck...three years later.

The show that got me hooked on fanfiction is no more...although many would say it had never been quite as good as it was those first two seasons. I'm not a huge watcher of network tv. Not having bothered with cable or any other source for years will do that to you. I became very selective in shows that I'd take the time to get on disc...always purchasing, never, ever, ever, watching stuff that wasn't purchased and copyright protected...wink, wink...wait, ignore that, I'm just writing that to set up a mental defense for later.

 I have a few shows that I enjoyed and will occasionaly rewatch. Here comes a partial list and make of it what you will: Smallville(geek),BigBang Theory(how could I not),The Middle, Fringe, Terra Nova, Eureka, Warehouse13,KyleXY(what? I'm a big old geek, remember), Burn Notice, Dexter, The OC(proof that Schwartz&Fedak can't be trusted to guide a show), Veronica Mars, ...and some shows that I tried and just couldn't find it in me to like: Grimm(would rather watch Reaper), Merlin(poof, there went my interest, just like magic),Legend of the Seeker(the book, the book), Rizzoli&Isles(if I want a bitchy woman character with an accent, I'll watch Crossing Jordan),The Cape,that Terminator thingie(it wasn't bad, just couldn't get into it)...there are of coursemany more that I'm sure would fall to either side of my list and I just don't have them on my mind right now.

 So, where was I? Oh yeah, goodbye to Chuck...but it's never gonna be gone. I'll always have the fun memories of discovering the show and watching the whole first season in one night just becasue I couldn't stop! I'll always have that and the stories in the Chuck fandom at FF...canon or AU, it doesn't matter because it's all fiction. As long as the writing and ideas are solid, I'll stick around. I'll go back and read the really good ones over and over. I'll miss APR, the man who suggested I try writing down some silly idea I had and , as it gets close to the one year anniversary of his passing, I wonder what I'd be doing with the time I take writing if Jim hadn't given me that nudge...probably still drinking just a little to much...hell, been dry for over six months...that's right, all of this is my natural charisma and weirdness, un-augmented by Jager...sorry, Jaeger, as Jim would often give me shit about my horrid americanization of the true German spelling. A few other writers have pointed that out as well but, wtf, I'll leave it for now.
 Possible new Shate fic...gonna have Daniel Shaw find out that his wife had been carrying on a torrid affair with some Hollywood Douche Bag and then get his revenge...and then I'll treat them both the way that Shnuff fics usually do...badly, very very badly. Think...Daniel uses brain doohickies(like in  that Natalie Wood movie) and then makes the HDB experience hours and hours worth of prerecorded torture deaths and then I'll treat them both to a special treat. Guess who plays the HDB in the fic?

 Getting tired, as us old and out of shape demi-gods are apt to do, and just a couple of quick thoughts before I take this old carcass home to tease the small insects in the house before throwing myself into bed...the only question being...what to watch...could dig out Chuck, season 1...maybe Castle, a show that I happen to really like despite the fact that the writers really seem to be starting to jerk us around, I mean, come on, get 'em together already!...or maybe I'll dig out Bubba HoTep...if I'm feeling just a little strange that movie always does the trick.

 Goodbye Chuck...I won't miss you because, at least for now, I still have my memories. Oh,  and Fedak, if you fuck with me again, suck me in and make me love a show and then treat me the way you've treated me twice now...well, I write such a mean blog about you, you big meanie. Hey, Chris Fedak, GFY!
