Numb3rs
Ok, first off, I want to wish ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
geeklite a belated birthday. I so meant to make this post last night, but I fell asleep. :-/ I hope you had an amazing day!
Next, I know I'm totally late on this, but I want to talk about Colby and the Janus list.
Gah! This was such an amazing episode! When I finished watching that episode I realized that that was one of the most effective season finales I've ever seen. I can only think of one other season finale like it (The Buffy one where she killed Angel). It wasn't quite a cliffhanger, because the problem was resolved, but it just left everything so broken. I can't wait until the new season starts. *whines* I'm going to be spending waaayyyy too much time thinking about this ep. Also I was really impressed by this ender, because the finale for season 2 sucked so, so much. I'm glad they were able o make this one much more interesting.
The thing is, not for one minute did I actually believe Colby's been a spy for 2 years. I have a feeling he was probably pulled in by the Americans when they discovered Dwayne, because:
1) What are the chances they both happened to work for the Chinese. I mean of all the governments out there... It would be more likely if it were a Middle Eastern government, because at least they both fought over there, but the Chinese? I mean we know how Dwayne got involved, but Colby? His only connection is Dwayne.
2) If Colby was a spy on the same side as Dwayne they had some mighty weird private conversations. And Colby's must be a pretty good actor to look so surprised and hurt over Dwayne being a traitor. I mean honestly, if they both knew (and if it were true I can't believe they wouldn't at the very least have suspicions) they might not have come right out with their secret traitor hand shake, but I think they probably would have spoken in a few more double entendre's.
3) If Dwayne *knew* that Colby was a turn coat, I think he would have turned him in when Colby cornered him. He was so upset and angry when it happened I can't believe he wouldn't lash out. I mean, I know he knew by this episode, but I bet he probably learned while imprisoned and decided to sit on it, because he was calmer and already caught, he knew he'd have to use that info to his advantage, but I doubt he'd be thinking that clearly when he was first arrested.
Edit: Obviously there are spoilers in this post and the comments for Janus List. In the comments though we now have some vague cast spoilers for season 4 (of both Numb3rs and SGA). Please don't spoil me people. I can't handle it! (Ok, I *can* but it'll piss me off). If you *are* looking for spoilers for season 4 there's a link in the comments to somewhere where you can find more info.

Yeah, he's so cute and not understanding! :P
The not understanding makes him even more cute. Btw, I'm finished with rewatching all Numb3rs episodes. And I had to cry again. :-\
I don't like her at all.
I've got the impression that I'm alone with my opinion. But I totally can understand why you don't like her. I don't know why, but I liked her from the very first episode. I actually was afraid that they would kill her off at the end of the season. I'm wondering what they are doing with this whole thing in the next season.

Awww. *hugs* Septmenber isn't *that* far away.

I've seen a few people that like her. But the thing with canon pairings is that if you're a shipper or a slasher they tend to ruin your fun. Also, girls tend to get jealous since they want it to be *them* jumping Don's bones. :P
Just as a whole though, her character doesn't do much for me. There have been a few instances where I've wanted to smack her upside the head, and most of the other times I don't really care about her. *shrugs*
I actually was afraid that they would kill her off at the end of the season.
Actually, on one of the groups I'm on (right in the middle of a post about other things completely) someone said that they had heard a spoiler that a female agen was going to be dying in Don's arms this season. Everyone assumed it'd be Liz, and I was very happy. I would gleefully wait for it to happen every episode she appeared. I was actually pretty disappointed when it didn't happen. Mostly because I'm an angst whore, and the thought of her dying in Don's arms.... boy, there's *got* to be some good angst out of that.
I'm wondering what they are doing with this whole thing in the next season.
God, probably something stupid and dismissive like they did with that girlfriend from last season. She's just going to be transferred or something. *rolls eyes*

But I'm actually afraid that I even have to wait longer if I end up in the middle of nowhere. Most jobs start in September and I hope to have found one till then.

Just the imagination makes me really sad, not the fact that Liz is dead but Don being all sad. I better not think about it any longer. But when they're finished with the whole Colby storyline, they'll probably create some new drama. ^^

I never really watched DS9 (just the Next Gen) but I do associate him with Star Trek. And Muppet Treasure Island. :P

That's what downloads are for. Or at the very least, friends who can download and then mail them to you. You're going to bring a computer with you right?

Aww, I'm sorry I made you sad. But seriously, sad fic can be *good*. Some of my favourite fics make me cry like a baby every time I read them. :)
PS. Have you heard about all the LJ being closed down for abuse?

Hehe, I live of downloads. I think there are only two shows left that I watch on German tv. :D
You're going to bring a computer with you right?
The problem is that I have a desktop computer and not a laptop. And I can't afford to buy one. That's why I like to stay in Europe. My sister could rent a car and drive me there with my pc and stuff.
PS. Have you heard about all the LJ being closed down for abuse?
I've heard rumours. And they seem to be true. A friend just posted something about it. Perhaps I'm gonna repost it.
