Random happiness

OK, so sometimes, I really do love US television.

With both Dexter 2.01-2.02 and Weeds 3.01 getting leaked, I've been in heaven. Two fantastic new seasons of two fantastic series. Dean/Doug may be my new OTP, now that Nancy/Celia seems off the table. I don't suppose someone could rec me any Dexter or Weeds fic? Pretty please?

Also, The Sarah Connor Chronicles 1.01 has been leaked. Haven't watched it yet; Summer Glau or no, it's still Fox and I fully expect it to be cancelled in about... uh... 4, 3, 2, 1...

ETA: SCC was pretty good. Which of course means that it will be cancelled. But hey, Summer Glau fighting while nekkid, can't go wrong with that really.

Also also: prettiness.

I had exactly the same reaction. Read the first book after season 1 was finished and was AMAZED at the difference -- every once in a while, there would be something good, but for the most part I was left completely cold and thinking, *You know, over HALF of the fanfic I've read is better than this*...

Exactly. The guy has a good idea, but he completely fails to see the potential in his own story - much of the subtext, the philosophizin', the human aspect of Dexter was added by the TV people. The book is just a murder mystery with a kink, and a poorly written one at that. (Though the one good thing about it was that it made Debra a more likable character; if anything, she's less whiny and inept in the series than she is in the book, and that's saying something. Looks like she's getting a fantastic arc in s2, though...)
