I just watched like, four season premiers back to back, and this is what I have to say:
House? You win. Seriously. I just — win. Lots of win. Will be elaborated on at a later date, also known as “probably tomorrow.” You are my emotionally and somewhat physically abusive rich husband who sleeps around a lot, but God damn do you hit me good.
Eureka? Not as impressed, even though I could hear psychic screams re: Michael Shanks’ guest appearance all the way from New York. You can’t let House beat you. House beats everybody, especially its wife (read: me), so I have to like you more. You’re the strapping, unaware and sexually alluring (yet innocent) pool boy who scoops my leaves, and who always wishes I’d leave my husband and stop drinking so much. You think I’m pretty, and like that I read books, etc. etc.
Bones? ILU!!!! You are my one true friend in this deathtrap, and we do pilates and talk about wanting to bang my pool boy together. Oh, and David Boreanez is so adorable in you, and even more adorable in conjunction with Bones — so adorable that I spent most of the episode making this noise: SQUEEEEEEAK. Also, I loved the moment where Bones finally confronts Booth about how he could have kept Zac from going and — okay okay, I’ll write it up tomorrow. Fine.
Last but not least:
NCIS? I really hate Jenny Sheppard. I also feel really bad for Jean since, and I am not even joking here, for most of the latter half of season four the only bearable plotlines on the show, for me, were the ones about Tony and Jean’s relationship. I wanted them to have unnaturally attractive children together — and okay, come on. I loved the twist about DiNardo. You know you didn’t see it coming, either. In conclusion: will write big OMG treatise soon.
(Oh, and today at work? I started to write something called “How Jane Sheppard Got Her Groove Back.” I think it’s officially time to hate myself.)

Re: NCIS - Oh my god me too. I don’t get how they are good (or at least, decent) at writing Ziva and Abby but UTTERLY FAIL TO WRITE JENNY SHEPARD TO BE EVEN REMOTELY LIKEABLE. D:
I want to see ridiculously attractive DiNozzo babies too. >:
Also, I DIDN’T THINK THEY’D KILL THE FROG OFF THIS EARLY.

I really liked Jen up until this whole obsession with La Grenouille led to her becoming really unprofessional. I could not believe her last night. Honestly, I’m still not sure how I feel about Jeanne.
I still haven’t seen last night’s Eureka yet. Is it just me or has it gotten way more complex this season. Last year was really fluffy, but this year you’re not sure who to trust and what their motives are.

Loved the premiere episode of House. The Wilson/House slash was all over the place.

HOUSE!!! And WILSON! (And, um, Cuddy’s cleavage?)

i figured you might be hearing my shanks love through the psychic airwaves.
but yes, house and bones were super awesome. and while eureka lacked a bit, i got a lot of shanks arms, which was awes. and jo and her boy making out in the closet were HILARIOUS. :)

Michael Shanks on Eureka, was like watching Kavan Smith (Squee!Lorne!) in the 4400 at the end of the season finale. I swear the fandom would have exploded to pieces, you know, if 4400 actually had one - because I can’t find it.

NCIS: I agree, they have always written Jenny Shepard as very unlikeable. And in this storyline, very unprofessional, and if the CIA is really going after her, the writers have her shooting herself in the foot. At this point she would be either gone or the CIA’s bitch. And the breaking of Tony’s heart? OMG

The thing about Eureka–I’m FINALLY getting around to watching season two, and I keep expecting The McKays around every corner. They just shut down the whole system for eight hours, and all I can think is Rodney’s gotta be PISSED he’s losing all that valuable time, but John will give him a nice long blowjob and he’ll feel better.

I had to come see what you thought of Eureka, because, one, Jack & Henry & explosions = John & Rodney & learning, and, two, “Eyes front!”
