owlbeer | Good tv, good fic and totally leading a Staal Appreciation Life right now

Yes. All of this. I loved the style of this episode.

The map! The confusing names of the places!

Troy and Abed really got me at the end, and Jeff going back for the hats <3!

I will admit I'm not fussed about Jeff/Annie but I feel it's inevitable at this point.

I feel the show hasn't been as it's best recently but I feel my faith has been somewhat restored after this one.

I accidentally spoiled myself for the end of this one, but it still got me at the end. Oh AltLiv's faaace. :( The photo of them was really adorable too. :(

I've seen people commenting with the comic books adage of: 'no body = no death.' I'm not entirely sure I buy that, but I'd be happy if that was the case. It felt like a bit of a cheap death, and IMHO AltLinc and AltLiv should be together. *nods* If they killed him just so OurLinc could have an Olivia ... hmm okay that's perhaps a little irrational. I have my favourite Lincoln clearly. ;) I miss the earlier seasons scruff though.

I love how he calls (called? *gulp*) her 'Red.'

They seemed to be really aiming high with the gross-out factor this week too. Ugh. Glad I wasn't eating while I was watching tbh. Interesting twist at the end though with the shape-shifter going to help them out. I liked how it was tied in.

Loved the giant FBI jacket and cap on Gene. <3!

I meant to tidy my room tonight - instead I lost hours to this:

Enough To Crush Your Veins (69474 words) by

doctor_denmark
Chapters: 9/9
Fandom: Hockey RPF
Rating: Explicit
Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply
Relationships: Jeff Skinner/Eric Staal
Characters: Jeff Skinner, Eric Staal
Summary:

When Canadian figure skater Jeff Skinner wrecked his knee, he never could have imagined that he'd end up helping pay his way through college as a live-in babysitter for Eric Staal's three-year-old son, Joey.

I read bits in commentfic form and couldn't wait for the whole thing to hit AO3. So, so good. Ridiculous hockey players are ridiculous and I have such a weakness for Staals, and kidfic, and pining and everything this fic is.

Hours well spent but I uh, really should eat something.
