annundrielThe library was dead today. Not a lot to shelve when I got in, four books on the request-pull list, nada in the book drop. So I straightened the non-barcoded, non-call numbered young adult paperback books and did a lot of sudoku. And snuck pretzels when no one was looking. Not that there were many people there to look. There were maybe eight people in there at the busiest time.
But then Mom came over and we went to dinner at La Cabana and there were enchiladas and margaritas and it was good. Yum.
Now I'm wasting time until the Without a Trace I want to see comes on TNT. "Off the Tracks," in which Danny's brother goes missing. I caught the first half of it a while ago, but missed the conclusion (though I know how it ends, spoiler whore that I am) as I had work. This morning I saw the first part of "More Than This," which I was going to ignore but am happy I didn't because I got to see Martin struggling through Spanish and Danny teasing him and supporting him. Clearly Danny has been teaching Martin. Such a small thing, and yet I flail.
I could verbally flail more, but it really would just devolve into a Danny, Martin, Danny/Martin love fest. Seriously. I mean, I love Jack and Vivian and Sam. And Elena is okay, though I don't care for her a lot. Mostly I just wonder why they needed a sixth and want one of the five original characters back. But Danny and Martin. Well. I like 'em best.
I got into WaT sort of backwards. I had been reading CSI fanfiction and was tired of reading the same things over and over since SGA ruined me both for quality and quantity. Anyway, one of the authors that I kept going back to had written a crossover with WaT and one thing sort of lead to another. I mean, I knew the show. Enough to know who Jack was, anyway. And that Eric Close was in it. But other than that I hadn't really paid much attention to it. I'd say I was missing out, but now I have all of these episodes to watch whenever I want!
I got seasons one and two around the same time I got season one of NCIS and I've been watching them slowly, drawing it out. On top of that, though, there are the repeats on TNT that I've been catching, so my viewing is kind of all over the place. Plus, when I get into a show, I really like to know about it. Who's in it, who do they play, how long have they played them, character arcs, background, random trivia. I love it all. And it's been really enjoyable getting to know these characters.
Which sort of leads me back to the way I got fannishly into the show. It's almost always about the characters for me. You could say that since I initially read fanfiction for it and that it included Danny/Martin, I was predisposed to that particular pairing. There may be some truth in that, but given the way I watch TV and the way I see and interpret things, I would have gone there anyway. There's just chemistry there, y'know? Read it as platonic or romantic, but it's there.
I think it's maybe obvious by now how I'm reading it. ;)
Anyway, I could go on (and on and on) - particularly about Danny and (for me) recent bits of his backstory - but those thoughts aren't completely together and I'm getting too tired to be as coherent as I'd like to be. Plus, show to watch!
