no one wants to see a lumberjack dance the cooch

Pet peeve time!

1) If you do not run your fic by a beta, please do not announce it in your author's note. What's the point? I can't imagine it's going to get you any readers.

2) PHASE vs. FAZE, omg. You go through a phase. You may be fazed by it. I see this mistake so often I almost started to doubt myself.

3) Criminal Minds, you're already on my bad side for what you're doing to JJ and Prentiss. Can you at least throw me a bone and make Garcia's lipstick a little less garish? I'm trying to find something to be pleased with, but you're really making me work for it.

4) Glee, Jacob Ben Israel is expendable and don't you forget it.

5) Inception, it really kind of irks me that every main character except Yusuf gets one of those big nifty mosaic-framed promo shots. Or if he did get one, I've certainly never seen it. Chubby brown guys need to get repped, too.

...hi, I'm a little cranky. I think I'll go finish S1 of Carnivale.

Heh, I've apologized for posting fic before, but only due to the subject matter ("omg, this is totally incest/angsty/tentacle porn, sorry!"), and I don't mind when others do it in that respect, but for some reason proclaiming one's lack of a beta just grinds my gears.

Glee is...it's Glee. And it's been at a plateau for me for quite a while, but given these last two episodes I'm ready to say it's officially going downhill. It was good to see Brittany get some screentime, which is something I hope they'll do with the rest of the under-showcased cast members, but the constant rehashing of the same storylines and the increasingly iffy subjects they use for humorous purposes have me giving the show some major side-eyes.

It's true, Yusuf does get left out most of the time, which I always find sort of amusing when the rest of the gang, including Robert and/or Saito are present in fic. Srsly, those two characters are tied for Most Likely To Move On With Their Lives. He's not traditionally swoon-worthy like Arthur or Eames, but he's smart and interesting and is it really so hard to remember he exists and shoehorn him into a scene now and again?
