I'm Not Dead

[meddow]

I've been totally failing when it comes to posting lately. Life's been hectic the past few weeks. Unfortunately, I don't see it getting any less so in the foreseeable future.

Still into FlashForward, particularly given the latest revelations that Jack Daveport is one of the bad guys.

The season opener of SJA reminded me why I love the show so much: it's just so damn cute. And there is Clyde. I am so looking forward to the Doctor showing up. It feels like forever since the Ten has graced my television.

My level of an episode of Glee I have decided depends of two factors: 1. How much screen time Jane Lynch gets, and 2. How much screen time Kurt gets. Also, Sanctuary continues to be cracktastic.

What I have gotten into the past couple of weeks though is House. I haven't had this much affection for the show since season two and it may be entirely due to Chase finally getting a storyline. The long overdue reunion of the original team may also be a major contributing factor, even if it's only for a short time since Jennifer Morrison is due to be leaving. But yes, Chase getting actual screen time and a storyline. And Jesse Spencer proving why I think he's one of the most underrated and underutilized actors on television. Yay!

And because there's a meme floating about and it looked like fun:

"But yes, Chase getting actual screen time and a storyline. And Jesse Spencer proving why I think he's one of the most underrated and underutilized actors on television."

RIGHT? Oh I love him, he is mah favorite. I think, once Jennifer's last episode happens and I have finished sobbing about the RIPPING APART of my precious, precious ducklings, I will go back and watch eps 2-8 of this season, because ducklings! And Chase having an apparently epic storyline! And Jesse is an incredible actor; it's weird how people don't notice. It's probably because he's a combination of distractingly pretty and quite subtle. But still! I want to like...write a treatise on how he is extraordinary.

Omg you put them in alphabetical order and everything. So dedicated.

If you write a treastie on how Chase and Jesse Spencer are extraordinary, I may have to frame it and put it in my wall, because I am so much in agreement about matters of Chase and Jesse Spencer. Chase is my favourite character on House, has been from the very beginning, and I cannot believe how little credit JS gets. He's does have a wonderful subtly to his acting that you don't see very often in actors his age or with his level of pretty. And he plays off House in a way unique to all the other characters, since I think Chase is the only character who accepts House for who he is.

Hopefully with Chase's epic angsty storyline people will be paying the character and actor a bit more deserved attention.

I was going to do it alphabetical by last name, but I gave up on remembering many of my favourite characters don't have last names. And some don't have first names for that matter.

I wrote a rambly thing about Chase awhile back when I was doing my list of ten favorite characters in the world (he was sixth (http://airie-fairy.livejournal.com/65052.html#cutid1)). But Jesse, I mean..."He's does have a wonderful subtly to his acting that you don't see very often in actors his age or with his level of pretty." As you said, exactly. And I've seen people call him, during the two season lapse of Chase or Cameron's existence, as "tragically underused," so it's good that it's recognized, but when he does the amazing things that he does when he's there, it rarely seems to be remarked on.
