YAY! The Last Ship
premieres tonight and I’m very excited! In other television news, it's
definitely summer and I've only got two active shows going until later this
evening.
Wynonna Earp is
crazy good. I need to watch this week's episode, but last week's twist caught
me off guard. In a totally great way.
Orphan Black's
lead-in to the finale proved excellent as always. Rachel continues to grate on
my nerves, but kudos to her for playing Evie Cho and outmaneuvering her with
such brutal precision. And, of course, the surprise at the end made the episode
kick ass awesome.
I started a rewatch
of Babylon 5 and Strike Back. I know, opposite ends of the spectrum but both
are terrific shows. I need to find something else to watch after these. Any
suggestions… let me know.
Tonight's post is
from Banter and Brawling and Sex, Oh My, a bonus bit / sexy short featuring Max
and Maggie from the Top Dog Pilots series.
Here's the
mini-blurb:
Max Cutter always goes along for the ride with Maggie
Harper. He pretty much has to… she always gets into the most interesting
situations and someone has to cover her ass.
And a sneaky peek…
Maggie loved the adrenaline rush
of a good brawl. Throw in a bunch of assholes picking on a lone stooge and
having Cutter throwing punches right beside her and Maggie got almost giddy
with excitement. Nothing like a good throw down to get her blood flowing and
happy endorphins to flood her system.
More of the beefy miners jumped
into the fray and the rest of the patrons either took cover or engaged in the
melee. If Maggie didn't miss her guess, the regulars were probably sick of the
rude and obnoxious workers swarming their favorite drinking hole. The poor guy who'd
been the target tried to hold his own against three of the goons. Cutter jerked
his head toward the fracas and Maggie nodded.
They'd have his back.
Making their way across the
crowded floor, dodging fists, pool cues, and flying bottles, Cutter and Maggie
flanked the mining official and offered some additional protection. Cutter laid
one of the attackers out with an uppercut to his chin. Maggie got a little more
physical, grabbing hold of the smallest of the bunch and driving her knee into
his groin. When his legs buckled, she faceplanted him on the table. One man
remained and he went for broke, taking a running leap and tackling Cutter to
the floor. Maggie shooed the official away and lifted a chair to bust over the
last man's head.
A piercing, shrill whistle rang
throughout the bar. A security team burst through the doors and immediately
started stunning anyone who didn't cease and desist. Cutter tossed the guy away
from him, sprang to his feet, and grabbed Maggie's hand.
She didn't ask questions,
following and trusting he had an escape route in mind.
He led her past a bank of
restrooms then ducked out into a storage corridor, the recycled air a welcome
change from the stale booze and cigarillo smoke of the bar. The safety lights
provided just enough illumination for them to make their way through the maze
of crates and stacked shelving units. The heavy door clanged shut behind them
and the sudden quiet almost killed the excited buzz coursing through Maggie,
until Cutter glanced over his shoulder and took her breath away.
The short strands of his hair
spiked upwards and the glow from the overheads gave him a rakish appeal. A hot
rush of lust kicked the thrill back into her night. She grabbed his arm,
swinging him around to face her then tilted her chin to plant a hot kiss on his
lips.
I love this couple
so much. Looking forward to a few more features with them.
That's it for this
week. Catch everyone on the flipside.
