So…here’s me thinking just as I finish the first chapter of my fan fiction on “D-Day”; I think I will never touch it again. Which is kind of true…the story did a complete 180 in my head into a fix it fic which was how I found myself on a slow day at work writing four pages of a possible first chapter. I am looking for a beta or if someone would like to collaborate; I am more than happy to present the general scope of what I was thinking and we can go from there. I am also happy to send what I have before anyone wants to say yay or nay. This is my second fan fiction ever so for all those who are amazingly talented and mine might come off more as “I have purse”; please be gentle with me. TYSM!

😭😭😭😭😭

I just got the most lovely message in my inbox from a man (well call him Rob) who sent this message into ABC. I screenshotted it to blur the name out because I’m not sure he’d want his full name online for all to see. I’m in tears. I don’t even know what to say… This is why it’s so important to let your voice be heard! Please read below:

This would be a great back story for Tommy!!!

I keep having thoughts about what might've happened to Tommy to get him that spooked about the moving in conversation, and I figure maybe the last place he lived was an ex's house, but that's not the whole story.

And the place he's in now, it's important to him. There's a lot of reasons he freaked out that night talking to Buck, and a big one is the thought of giving up that little space he carved out for himself after the last time he got his heart broken. Because it wasn't just a breakup, it blew up his life. Maybe he came home to find his ex with someone else, maybe the guy just kicked him out with no warning and no explanation. Tommy spent weeks, months, trying to figure out why he wasn't good enough, throwing himself into work and not telling anybody he was living out of his truck.

He didn't really think of it as being homeless. He had his stuff, his job, he showered in the locker room and spent his weekends at the laundromat combing through realty websites and apartment listings. It wasn't like he was sleeping in a cardboard box or anything, he was...fine. Mostly.

He doesn't realize how Not Fine it was until he's three months settled into his new place, and he just spent four hours looking everywhere for a charging cable he's only now remembering got stolen out of his truck the day after his ex dumped him. It all hits him at once, and he breaks down.

The next few years are spent building. Turning the house into something that feels like his own. But using it to isolate himself. It's his, and no one else's. And that's what it will always be.

I watched this and it instantly reminded me…I guess maybe resonated as what could possibly be back story for Tommy. Maybe Tommy wanted to say yes, maybe everything with “Evan” felt like all the gay yearning he always dreamed of, but it was real this time. It was real and tangible and there was possibility, both negative and positive. Tommy is unfortunately used to the negative; it’s reflex, it’s woobie. Tommy returned to the safety of yearning and dreaming than the possibility of Buck breaking his heart. Hopefully we will see a little gay yearning and a lot more gay doing in regard to Tevan.

How about Tommy brings you one last cup of coffee?

Maybe this isn’t forever. But this is definitely how it looks now.

I want you all to know that I will always be grateful for this experience and to share this labor of love with you. This is a beautiful community filled with amazing people.

I may be too hopeful when I say I hope things turn out differently, and maybe in the future we’ll be ready for something again. But who knows.

Share with your friends, or keep it for yourself.

There is so much story behind Tommy’s reaction!!!! There has to be more story. I’m strapped in my clown car, squeaking nose and water spraying flower secure to my lapel! Yes, people break up and sometimes it’s unresolved but don’t give us crumbs to more backstory and then say it’s the end….I’m calling bullshit. BULLSHIT!!!

Been thinking about this and I do wanna watch the episode again (this time without the dog choosing the Loudest Toys Possible to play with so I can actually hear more than 80% of it) but thoughts as of now are

Buck may have asked Tommy to move in for different reasons than he had with Taylor, but the core gut reaction strikes me as the same. He didn’t kiss someone else this time and not know how else to cope with his guilt and his fear of being left, he learned instead that he and Tommy have a person in common and he’s unsettled by it and overcorrecting — putting Tommy on a pedestal, almost, or at the very least projecting this idea of Tommy onto him that may not line up with reality

And god, there’s a story there, there’s a story in “I know how this ends,” in “I’m your first, not your last,” in “and you wouldn’t even mean it [breaking my heart]” because we’re missing some crucial pieces, aren’t we? How did he get from engaged to Abby to out as a gay man? What happened to make him protective of himself in the way that he is? “You’re still figuring yourself out” and he’s right, that IS too fast, Evan, especially after you just told him you dated his ex-fiancée and the relationship with her was “transformative” without taking the time to consider how it had been transformative for him, too — a line he decided he couldn’t, and wouldn’t, cross by marrying someone he could never really love

Just. Slow it down there, Buckaroo. It’s gonna be okay.

😭😭😭😭

A quick love letter to my Bucktommy family in the form of a fix-it <3

Bucktommy | fix-it | Teen | 1141 words | warnings: this is angsty at the start and tiptoes toward addressing biphobia so please care for yourself and don't read if that will exacerbate your hurt.

They're three beers deep when the doorbell rings again.

It's been a fucking night. He hadn't really had much to say to Eddie when he got there, thankfully he hadn't had to, especially considering Eddie was clearly in the midst of his own kind of night. It feels better, not being alone, at least. But the alcohol mixes with his head and twists the moment in his apartment further. How come every time I want to move forward I get pushed back?

He's not even paying attention when Eddie goes up to get the door, just fiddles with the bottle in his hand more, peeling the label into tiny pieces and laying them on Eddie's coffee table for him to pick up later.

"Shit-" Eddie stumbles as he makes his way. And then Buck can feel a little breeze as he goes to tell whoever it is that this isn't a good time.

"Oh thank god-" Buck freezes, determined not to turn around. "I wasn't sure you'd be home but I think I fucked up."

That's Tommy.

"I panicked a little. Evan asked me to move in and I think I freaked out."

"Uhh-" Eddie adds.

"We just got done talking about my ex who I had to end an engagement with and it just- it felt like he was trying to make up for his own freak out about it and-" Buck hears him take a deep breath, "I didn't want to force him into doing something he didn't really want to do, you know? He- he should get to make sure that's what he really wants." He takes another breath. "Are you not wearing pants?"

"Umm-"

Buck's heart rate had steadily ramped up hearing Tommy speak, but it's when he stops that Buck feels tears prickle at his eyes. He whips around then, still nestled into Eddie's couch, betrayal in his voice when he speaks.

"I did!" and shit. He didn't really mean to shout that.

"I'm gonna..." Eddie trails off as he heads into his bedroom.

"Why do you think I didn't make sure that's what I wanted?" he demands. He hadn't thought he'd be so angry, but this felt like something to him, and Tommy's running. Again. "Because that girl hit on me at the restaurant?"

Tommy looks shell-shocked. Like he's still grasping the fact that Buck is here, so Buck just keeps talking.

"Or because I haven't dated a man before? So I must not know what I'm talking about, right?"

"Buck-"

"Don't call me that."

"Evan," Tommy steps a little closer, and Buck leans toward the cushions, petty, but feeling raw still. "That is not why."

Buck levels him with a look.

"Okay, what you said is fair enough," he relents. "I didn't mean to make it seem like you couldn't make your own decisions about this."

"What did you mean?"

Tommy looks away for a moment, a flicker of pain on his face.

"I meant... what I said," he lands on. "You would break my heart, Evan."

"You don't know that." The tears finally crest over his lower lids and make their way to his mouth. "You can't just give up every time you're scared that I'm going to leave you, Tommy. It's not fair, you're not even giving me the chance to stay."

Tommy's lip wobbles a little now too, but he stays and listens.

"I wanted to stay, I wanted you to stay. With me. Permanently. Why would you think I would leave you?"

He cries now, and Buck hasn't ever seen him cry.

"I don't know," he gets out, choked and soft. "I see you, sometimes. With the 118 and everyone's families and I... I don't feel like I fit, Evan. I don't get how I fit into that."

"You fit into it because you're my boyfriend. My partner."

"I am?" he asks, treading closer ever slightly to the couch.

This time Buck leans his way. He sets his bottle down and looks down at his hands.

"Did you mean what you told Eddie? You fucked up? Because I fucked up, once, at the beginning of us, and you gave me that second chance and I'm so glad you did, Tommy, because these last few months have been better than I could've hoped. I don't want to let that go because of this so... yeah you can be, if you want."

Tommy rushes to the couch, he sits as close as he can get and grabs Buck's hands firmly. Warm and sure.

"I want that. I want us again. Please."

"You can have it," Buck whispers, resting his head on Tommy's shoulder. He squeezes Tommy's hands. "Just don't leave again, please."

"I won't, I won't."

Then there's a kiss at the crown of his head, and Tommy's other hand rubs soft circles over his back. He murmurs sweet nothings in Buck's ear all the while.

I'm sorry. I'm glad you were here. I missed you as soon as I walked out the door. I'm staying. I'm staying. I'm staying.

They sit like that for a while until a throat clearing from the hallway has them both lifting their heads to find Eddie, fully-clothed.

"What were you guys doing before I got here, by the way?" Tommy asks, humor back in his voice.

"Well, I was drinking my sorrows away. I don't know what Tom Cruise was doing."

"Ha ha," Eddie says, making his way to the couch, no qualms about forcing them to scooch over to make room. "We can talk about my shit tomorrow. You guys worked it out I guess?"

Buck looks up at Tommy, smiles, and kisses him with a loud peck just to make Eddie huff and roll his eyes.

"Yeah," Tommy says, looking at ease. "Although..." he starts.

Buck turns to him, raising an eyebrow.

"I don't know that moving into your place is going to work," Tommy admits.

Buck sits up a little, mouth just opening to speak when Tommy cuts him off.

"I want to live with you, Evan, but your place is barely big enough for one person, so maybe we can workshop location, yeah?" he smiles a crinkly smile, the kind that always lets Buck know he's feeling fond, feeling secure.

It's Buck's turn to huff now. "It gets good light," he grumbles.

Tommy kisses his temple again, Buck gets the distinct feeling that he will be getting kissed quite a bit in the near future, and he chances a quick look at Eddie to see if they're being annoying.

Instead, he sees Eddie smiling too, he's looking on like he's proud and it makes Buck want to tear up again. Eddie gives him a nod and Buck nods back.

A weight lifts off his shoulders then. In the arms of the man he's growing to love and accepted by his family.

I want to say a quick thank you to everyone who read, commented, shared my fics, sent me nice messages about my writing for these two, and to everyone who created content for them while they were canon. I'm thankful for every minute of it :)

This…all this….Tim, how dare you! Lou; I really hope this isn’t the end.

"Oh, good, you are alive." Eddie says as soon as Tommy opens his front door. He pushes his way into the house without waiting for a response, and leaves Tommy blinking at empty space.

"...Sure, come on in," he mutters.

"Would it kill you to answer your phone some time?" Eddie's standing in the living room, hands on his hips, looking at Tommy like he's expecting something.

And Tommy's still lingering in his own doorway, suddenly very aware of how ripe his PJs have gotten. "It's my day off." It's a lame excuse and he knows it. He turns away to shut the door so he won't have to look Eddie in the eye.

"It's been, like, three weeks, man."

Tommy sighs quietly. "Yeah, look, it's just..."

"Is this the part where you tell me you both love me equally and it isn't my fault mommy and daddy are getting divorced." He's being flippant, but there's anger there. Tension in his voice. Tommy's not sure if it's on his own behalf or Evan's. Either would be fair, probably.

No. No, it isn't. It's not fair. He doesn't get to storm in here and judge Tommy's life choices. It's not like he's happy with himself about this, he didn't want to break things off. It just. Didn't work out.

"We don't, Eddie."

"What?"

Tommy folds his arms across his chest. "Love you equally. He needs you more than I do."

"What happened to me being allowed to have more than one friend?"

You know what happened, Tommy wants to snap, wants to be the kind of person who gets so angry he breaks, bleeds the tension out. He wants to untangle the knot that's been tightening in his chest for weeks.

Instead he hunches his shoulders. "Nothing, you have plenty of friends. A whole station of them." Tommy bites the inside of his lip so hard he tastes iron, and his eyes fall shut for a moment while he collects himself. "I was trying to make things easier for you."

Eddie narrows his eyes. "Yeah, nothing easier than getting ghosted. In fact, I love it when people I care about suddenly stop talking to me."

"You know what I meant. You have to take his side."

"Oh, I am. Breaking up with him like that was stupid, and he's really hurt."

Tommy barely contains his wince.

"But you were my friend before you were his boyfriend." Eddie's expression shifts, not quite softening. "I'm not here to defend Buck's honour, I'm here because my friend isn't making good choices and I'm worried about him."

He cried that night three weeks ago. Held off until he'd made it home and then bawled like a child, curled up in the dark and not bothering to wipe the snot from his nose. He hasn't cried since. Not when he found one of Evan's sweaters shoved between the cushions on his couch. Not when a date night reminder he forgot to delete from his phone dinged three days ago. Every time he wakes up to nothing but empty lock-screen he feels a little more hollow thinking about all the texts he used to get in the middle of the night.

But he hasn't been crying about it. Until now.

He's not sure what it is exactly. Something about Eddie refusing to let Tommy stonewall him. Something about all the things he's gone through alone never mattering to anyone. Not enough to warrant more than courtesy comfort.

"Woah, hey, was it something I said?"

Tommy shakes his head, and wipes his cheek with the heel of his hand. "It's been a weird few weeks."

It has, is the thing. He used to be good at being alone. But six months of borrowed time was enough for him to be in a lot deeper than he thought. He doesn't just miss Evan he misses being invited to his family dinners, and hearing about life with the 118.

"How 'bout I drink your beer while you tell me about it."

"...Okay."

Okay…I missed the live episode. How upset am I going to be?

Prompt: Eddie being awkward after a one night stand.

From what I’ve seen, he’s just rolled from relationship to relationship. Does the man not hook up?

eddie being a slutty catholic is so real to me. eddie having no-strings sex for the first time in his life and going to confession the next morning to atone for this sin. unfortunately this makes him hornier for the rest of the day. eddie saying forgive me father for i have sinned but whimpering the last word. because the father? the father is the nameless hot priest ofc. eddie in the church jerking off with the rosary bea— [GUNSHOT]

I’m going to need a fan fiction immediately!

I am rewatching clips from ‘all fall down’ for Reasons™️. Jesus, hearing Helena tell Eddie “Whatever he forgot, you could send it to us. Or, we’ll replace it.”

I HC that it sounds more like this in Eddie’s head: “Whatever he forgot” (how much I love him) “you could send to us.” (How can I send my heart when you’re already taking it?) “Or, we’ll just replace it. (Because we can love him better).”

Who do you think would be on the scooter? Buck or Tommy? Eddie? ….no, it’d be Chimeny…definitely Chimney!

Edit: Fanfic writers….Go forth and multiply!!!

Sigh…

I get why they are looking at Hawaii. I really do but we had a whole host of shows that as soon as they planned a spin off the network was like, “let’s go to Hawaii!” It just feels like a cop out, unoriginal. Also, like Marilyn Monroe, can we leave Hawaii alone? CBS pretty much had/has a foot hold there and Fox currently has show there also by Ryan Murphy. Why not choose someplace else? New Orleans would have been a great choice! The city would have been just as much a character as LA and Austin; the culture is rich and could have been really well explored. There could have been calls centered around things like Mardi Gras or the Jazz Festival. We could have seen musicians guest stars, we could have gotten Big Freedia! Plus it would be one of the few non-supernatural based shows set in the city. That would have been a fun call to see. First responders show up on a set and there are people covered in fake blood and special fx injuries or creature make up. I would have even taken the Carolinas!

ALEX O’LOUGHLIN AND SCOTT CAAN PLEASE ANSWER THE PHONE

Maybe it’s Tommy’s actual place or maybe tommy is looking to sell his current home and get a new fixer upper to work on. He could ask Buck if he wants to move in with him and make the place theirs…Suffice to say I just want a gay version of the Money Pit.

i know the fandom has latched onto tommy's house (the fixer-upper with the car lift and the muay thai set up and what not) and people have bought into whatever insider info was being given out about “a new set being built” alluding to it being tommy's house that we'll get to see soon (i dont personally believe it)

and although i don't hate the loft and what it means for buck's character development throughout the show, i am 100% on board with buck moving out of the loft because it's served its purpose and it's time for him to move on - and moving out of the loft to move in with tommy? his person? poetic cinema.

but i would love for buck and tommy to find a place to live together. same as maddie and chimney and their haunted house, same as hen and karen and the house they bought together before they even got denny, same as bobby and athena deciding to build a new house for the two of them. please, give bucktommy this storyline, too. it would be so beautiful.

and as always

BuckTommy fanfic writers…you’re welcome.

Another post in what I am now calling BuckTommy domestic disputes. Which one is which do you think???

Why does this feel like how Tommy and Buck move in together…

I need this fanfiction immediately!!

I want to see Buck and Tommy settle into that sort of domesticity where, like, one of them is in the shower while the other is at the bathroom sink. Shaving their face or brushing their teeth and yelling over the running water. Asking the other is there anything else they need to add to the shopping list, and do they have time to do another load of laundry? That casual intimacy

I watched this episode prior to Anthony Bourdain’s death but post the original airing.  I noticed he seemed a bit off; a little distant, melancholy, distracted.  Even his friends from the episode post mortem had said something was off.  As the episodes went on I noticed him up and I noticed him down.  It was very strange to see, but I thought that maybe he was missing his daughter, maybe he was just slowing down.  Maybe within the next few years, he would have fewer episodes per season or end Parts Unknown and travel less; strictly working with CNN on a more permanent basis in New York.  It was after his death that I paused on the episodes and had to take a moment.  My first episode back in was Seattle.  That ending, that song.  It fucked me up; don’t even get me on the final season.  Post the premiere, every episode I could hear Bourdain's monologue in my head.  Not exactly what he would say but his tone, his humor, the cadence of his voice.  It was like hearing music underwater. You can recognize a tone, maybe catch a verse or hum a few bars but it's warped and distant.  I grew up watching him on No Reservations and then Parts Unknown.  The world is a little quieter since he passed; not just his own voice and story, but those he featured on his program or would have if he were alive.  He is one of the few Celebrities that I cried for when he passed and when I see his picture or hear his voice, my breath hitches, my eyes water and it hits me all over again.  

Parts Unknown: Newfoundland

The reason you felt for the mummy was because he just wanted to bring his lost love back, it wasn’t about him taking over the world.  Even after he came back, it was always about Anak-su-namun (I know I spelt this wrong).  Thats what made the monster movies back then work, you connected with the monster.  Thats why Shape of Water worked.  The Tom Cruise version made the mummy the Villain because she wanted to be the ruler. Making what was supposed to be a feminist storyline into one about a woman being put in her place, also it made no sense (per MovieBitches, she could have just killed the baby and the king without the powers.  Also watch their reviews on the 90′s Mummy movies as well as the remake). Clearly Tom Cruise is the Villain of the ENTIRE movie with his Toxic Masculinity, among other trite and overused stereotypes. Why not have Ahmanet take these powers as a way to beat an enemy, or stop a plague? She could have imprisoned herself to make sure Set was never released.  Ahmanet could awaken later and discover that she is erased from history or she was wrongly portrayed; she didn’t make a noble sacrifice, she was a power hungry bitch.  Also, is Tom Cruise now the Mummy? I don’t get it.  Even when you google the mummy, the 90s mummy is the first thing that comes up, everyone wants to forget about the Tom Cruise Version.  Guillermo del Toro should have taken the deal with Universal, he could have made these movies so much better!!!

Let's talk about The Mummy (1999)

Someone was talking at me yesterday about this movie and I was getting riled so I decided to go full rant. Specifically in regards to the feminist podcast that slammed it.

I don't even remember which podcast it was, but I am still rankled and baffled that any "feminism in movies" podcast could jump to anything but "this movie is phenomenal."

First of all, even just discussing the overall quality: sure, it might not have been groundbreaking with its cgi or plot twists. But back in the 90s, that wasn't the standard of measure like it is now (and even now is a shitty standard that needs to die). This movie was light and funny and yet hit all the right beats to maintain the dire stakes needed to make it a compelling action flick.

Its characters are fully realized and entirely distinct from each other. Even those treated with a broader brush, such as the Americans, were charismatic enough that we were fully invested in their fate. The entire cast of characters were real people with real impact and real agency.

The script is quotable and fucking hilarious. There are gems from literally every single character. Rick and Evie have actual chemistry, aided by Rachel Weisz's natural magnetism and Brendan Frasier's career-long knack for acting utterly charmed with his female costars.

Actually, let's talk about Rick O'Connell for a second. This is peak 90s Brendan Frasier. He is absolutely GORGEOUS, suave, and cool, rugged and handsome. He is the epitome of the 1920s adventure hero. Dear god I want to kiss those casting directors. But for all his general peak masculinity? He's feminist as fuck. He is equally dumbstruck by Evie as she is by him, and it's wholly evident that it's more than a "oh no she's hot" thing.

How do we know?

He steals her some tools to dig with. This gift demonstrates that he a) has identified her passion for archaeology, b) has recognized her proficiency in the field, despite it not being explicitly stated on screen, and c) sees a chance to restore her full and active participation in the discovery of Hamunaptra.

There is never a moment where Rick assumes to be the leader of the expedition. He is the weapons expert, the muscle--and he knows it. Better than that, he's totally okay with it. He follows Evie's lead in all things.

Another favorite moment of mine is when they're facing off with the American team on Day 1, and Evie realizes there's a chamber underneath Anubis they could use to excavate the statue. She puts her hand on Rick's arm, looks him in the eye, and says very deliberately "there are other places to dig." And he yields, instantly.

By comparison, see the way the Americans treat their workers and guide.

Does he groan about his work being made exponentially harder as a result? Nope. And that's a recurring theme in his behavior the entire goddamn movie. The only time he is in charge is when a situation is in his wheelhouse-- namely, combat and rescue. And it deserves mentioning that the majority of the time that he's in charge, Evie is not present.

Meanwhile, Evie-- her adventurer's spirit chafing in an academia that dismisses her for her gender-- is an absolute marvel. She is visually coded as being very feminine (she's in dresses and long hair most of the film), but that fact in no way detracts from her competence and agency.

She is consistently protrayed as a fully capable expert in egyptology and there is never a single moment where she waffles on what to do. Even when she's the damsel in distress, she actively makes the choice to be so because she weighs the potential outcomes and decides doing so provides their best chance of success.

Evie is never the passive victim. She is constantly brash, constantly scheming, and saves the lives of her would-be rescuers mid-abduction. And when her brother (who is the failure of the family, against type) needs help with translation, she correctly translates for him while being throttled by a mummified priestess.

When I first saw this film, I was too young to realize how novel it was. Back then, all I knew was that it was just a good time. But now as an adult-- an adult acutely aware of the treatment female characters have gotten in the twenty years since-- I marvel at the respect with which the writers and directors treated Evie.

I marvel at how tender Rick was allowed to be, despite his rugged adventurer archetype.

The Mummy (1999) is peak storytelling. It doesn't try to outsmart the audience, but rather lays out a consistent, coherent narrative that gives the characters and viewers room to breathe. It invests the audience enough to care whether the characters succeed in their goals.

The Mummy (1999) does it right. It's the reason that any talk of the Tom Cruise version gets an immediate eyeroll from me, because whatever modern grimdark grit they shove into a story about a mummy cannot compare to the reliable and timeless entertainment of the 1999 adaptation.

All modern media should aspire to be the kind of film that The Mummy (1999) is.

DC animation is so much better than the live action movies.  I need Constantine to get his own tv series again, not loving Legends of Tomorrow but I adore Matt Ryan another solo Constantine series.  Also, I’m sure there is a joke somewhere in the movie drafts about Constantine being a size queen that was cut, I want that joke.  I need that joke. Even if it was just after John turns away shyly from King Shark and Raven just whispering, “Size Queen.” mic drop, I’m dead.

I have always had a love and fondness for the Addams family.  Maybe it was the dark humor, the crazy antics or even Anjelica Huston (come on...she IS Morticia and seriously they need to bring back adult Wednesday Addams like right now!).  But i think that despite all of that surface level stuff that makes them stand out its the fact that 1. all those things were NOT the most interesting aspects to their characters and 2. they truly are the most well balanced and loving family and admit it, every one has the crazy uncle or the cooky grandmother or “Addams Family” relative.  Gomez is giving sound advice here.  In the age where there are multiple apps for sex and that “courtship” has devolved to a “right/left swipe”, love, passion, romance, etc. is in a bad way my friends.  Call me old fashioned but Gomez and Morticia are the kind of couple one should strive to be.  Whether you are straight, gay, bi, transgender, pan sexual, polyamorous (and the list goes on) this is the way you should feel about your partner whether you are 25 or 105.  Gomez and Morticia are relationship goals and if you want to see something else watch Desi Arnez’s speech about Lucille Ball at her Kennedy Center Honors.  Forget the Notebook, that shit will make you cry.

No matter what, this is the kind of relationship that two people should strive for!

He wanted to be here tonight. I’d like to read something that he wrote:

‘I Love Lucy’ had just one mission: to make people laugh. Lucy gave it a rare quality. She can perform the wildest, even the messiest physical comedy without losing her feminine appeal. The ‘New York Times’ asked me to divide the credit for its success between the writers, directors and the cast. I told them, ‘Give Lucy 90% of the credit. Divide the other 10% among the rest of us.’ Desi concluded: Lucy was the show. Viv, Fred, and I were just props. Damn good props. But props nevertheless. PS- ‘I Love Lucy’ was never just a title.

-Desi Arnaz’s tribute to his ex-wife Lucille Ball, read by Robert Stack at the Kennedy Center Honors on December 7, 1986, five days after Desi had passed away from lung cancer.

I always worked late so I always must the first airing, had that shit saved for DVR though...Netflix or AMC where are you?  Seriously, with Preacher on AMC, Netflix with original programming or Cinemax with Outcast these would all be great channels to take up the series.  Love Glen Mazzara’s work and James was fantastic these two need Damian season 2 or another project ASAP!

‘Damien’ Cancelled at A&E After One Season

Okay, who thinks that Cole should be the next spin off? Its between him, Jodi (and the others female sheriff, forgive me I forgot her name), or claire.  I think that they would be really interesting.  If they do another spin off and introduce new characters I would love to see female leads but for existing character as spin offs I hope it is one of those three.

One of my favorite things about the introduction of Cole this season is how clearly he casts the spotlight on the “monsters within us all” storyline. He is a man who dedicated his entire life to hunting down one guy for the sake of revenge. He is a military man who dedicated his life to fighting for his country, to protecting humanity. And in both endeavors, he encountered every variation of monstrosity in the world, far beyond what he could have imagined.
