Second Shift fangirling

I unleashed the full brunt of my fangirl on [livejournal.com profile] contradictacat earlier, but I figure I should do so here too in order to perhaps rope more of you in. No spoilers, feel free to read!

I listened to three new-to-me episodes of Second Shift today. I left work at 5 and did some shopping (I ripped my only pair of khakis this morning, sigh), listening to episode 8, "Trust Me," the first 'dark' episode of the series, which bothered me so much that I took a break from looking at pants to just sit down and take a moment. And listen to the whole episode twice. ;) Even though it totally messed with my head and put characters I liked in bad situations - or perhaps because of these things - I judged it one of the most moving episodes I had heard yet.

Then I took the train to Davis Square and looked around a few more stores there while listening to episode 9, "Civil War." This ep didn't tug at my emotions in the same way, and in fact I felt it was kind of a filler ep.

Walking home from Davis, I listened to ep. 10, "The Dance," which is the BEST episode so far! My two main reactions from this episode: omg! and lol! Acronyms aside, this episode caused me to exhibit odd behavior on the sidewalk through Cambridge: doing a small wiggle-dance with joy, stopping to clap my hand over my mouth and laugh, and just grinning ear-to-ear for a good portion of the walk. There were more outbursts of laughter from this episode than any of the others so far. It was so satisfying!

I have found my Second Shift OTP. ;)

Ok, so, who's your OTP? ;)

If she doesn't mind my saying...

The main characters played by Brad and Becki. Because awwwwww.

I also highly approve of doing seemingly random, yet completely sensical things in public.

I am elaborate and very very picky about my spoilers. Basically any information that will give me even a hint of what might eventually happen (like being able to go, "Oh, Brad plays ____, and Becki plays ____, so this must mean that something happens between them to make them juldea's OTP!") is considered a spoiler to me. I know it's extreme, but I'm just like that. :P

Ah. Ok. Whoa, but ok. (then again, my curiosity often trumps spoileryness most of the time, so...yeah). So feel free to edit/delete my comment then.

Nah, if multiples of you think I'm being extreme, I'll just leave it. But now you know for later when I fangirl at you more about 2S, or about anything really! :)

mkay! ::keeps that in mind:: ^_^ Though out of curiosity...what are your other fandoms/equivalents?

The last thing I was so squee about was/is Jonathan Coulton. So obviously the JoCo/me OTP. >_> I don't actually imbibe a lot of media, so I don't have TV shows/anime/etc I'm similar about. This is perhaps why I'm going so overboard with this!

And to this, [livejournal.com profile] usernamenumber says cutely, "I like being OTP!"

Heh.

That'd be a spoiler for those who haven't listened to any of it yet! ;)
