Happy Mother's Day
to all the terrific moms out there! Enjoy the day and may you all be pampered
and treated to your fondest wishes.
This week in
television had some terrific stuff. Starting on Monday with Gotham, which is
supposed to get a third season—yay! Hunters is still kind of dragging for me,
but I'll finish out the season just because.
Tuesday's episode
of The Flash ended on quite the cliffhanger. Looking forward to this week's
follow up to find out what, exactly, happened. Agents of SHIELD kind of
disappointed me but I did like the interaction between Daisy and Mac. And Fitz
and Simmons are completely adorable.
Wednesday's Arrow
proved very interesting. I had a sneaky suspicion Alex would turn out to be
kind of cagey. Here's hoping he's not a total asshat… or that Thea makes him
hurt a lot if he is. J
Thursday's Legends
of Tomorrow made me so happy. I really do love this show. And the team is
starting to mesh together in a great way. Orphan Black continues to blow my
mind in wonderful ways. I wish I could say the same about After the Black, but
maybe they'll find a good footing in the near future.
Wynonna Earp is
still one of the best shows on TV right now. I'm very intrigued about Dolls's
situation and look forward to more revelations on that end. I'm still a little
behind on Banshee, but slowly catching up. Considering it's the last season,
I'm not in a huge hurry to say goodbye.
And that's it on
the television front this week.
Tonight's post is
from All Jacked Up, a novella built around the prompt of one character is
injured and the other gets to act as a distraction.
Here's the mini-blurb:
Lita North is injured and ordered to stay off her feet for
forty-eight hours which doesn't go over well because Lita doesn't do
inactivity. But when Ollie Tulver gets stuck babysitting her after she disobeys
the order, she has two choices—continue being a pain in the ass or toe the
line. Lita being Lita, she decides do to both.
And a sneaky peek…
Doctor Ben Cramer barreled
through the corridor and shouted. "Make a hole!" He charged through a
group of midshipmen, probably on shift change, and halted outside the captain's
quarters.
Rapping twice, he didn't wait for
permission to enter, barging through the hatch with his mouth open before
Captain Netts could offer a greeting.
"I want North sedated,
preferably by IV so she can't be mobile." He strode toward the captain's desk
and stopped at the edge. "The damn, fool woman is gone from sickbay again
and I don't have time to keep tracking her down. If she keeps putting pressure
on that knee, she's going to do serious damage." He paused and pinned
Netts with a hard glare. "And then she'll be permanently grounded and really become a problem. And she won't
be mine, she'll be—"
Netts held up a hand, effectively
shutting Cramer's rant down. "Don't even think about saying she'll be
mine. She's already at the top of my list." He reached out with his other
hand, picked up the handset to his phone, and keyed in four numbers. "Tulver,
my office, ten minutes." Replacing the receiver, he settled back and
nodded for Cramer to take a seat. "I've got the perfect solution to our
Lieutenant North problem."
Cramer cracked a grin and took
the offered chair. If anyone stood a chance at making Lita North behave, Oliver
Tulver had the best shot. The two officers had an uncommon rapport, one Lita
liked to downplay, but the entire ship waited with eager anticipation for the
two pilots to succumb to each other.
Ben kicked his legs out, crossing
them at the ankles. "There's a reason you're in command and I'm not."
Warren Netts's innate ability to read people and make the right call never
failed to impress.
Netts quirked a smile. "I'd
make a terrible doctor. No patience and hate the sight of blood." He
waited a beat. "And I would've put North out of her misery a week
ago."
Cramer bit back a wide grin.
"With a bullet, no doubt."
Netts gave an emphatic nod.
"Exactly."
Poor Lita is
driving everyone insane and she's about to get her comeuppance. LOL
That's it for this
week. Catch everyone on the flipside.
