Things that are the best ever:

When your show puts your OTP ON A PLANE for an episode.

I feel that this has yet to result in a non-stellar hour of television:
"Airborne"
"The Passenger in the Oven"
and now "Jet Lag"

I NEED MORE OF THESE YOU GUYS.
ETA: HOLY SHIT I NEED CASTLE AND BECKETT ON A PLANE. I NEED THIS YESTERDAY.

So, I just saw the Bones preview for next week.

BOOTH'S GRANDPA IS GIBBS' DAD, YOU GUYS. *head asplodes*

PS, the SYTYCD concert was AWESOME!!!

PPS, I'm a brunette now!

I've been on a serious NCIS kick lately (thanks, USA reruns). I mean. The characters explicitly refer to the team as a family. And Abby goes around hugging everyone all the time. I'm constitutionally incapable of resisting a show like that.

Which is all to say, FIC REC:
Agent Afloat Atlantis
It's Ziva. On Atlantis. It's awesome. Basically it spins off the end of S5 of NCIS, only instead of getting sent back to Israel, Ziva's assigned to Atlantis and ends up smack in the middle of S5 of SGA. (And let me tell you internets, *that* I would have watched.)

And because I read *way* too much fic, when I started reading AAA, I was like, "Oh awesome! She can meet up with Yoni!" And then I remembered, that's not canon, that's miss_porcupine's fic. Which arguably is better than canon in many ways, but still. (Seriously, she does the best military SGA fic out there. Try her novelization of The Rising (the SGA premiere), and then when you have some time and feel like being punched in the gut, read The Jenny Code. And there are a million more stories too.)

Also there are not enough NCIS/Bones crossovers on the intertubes. I found one but doesn't it seem like there should be more? Like the NCIS people find a body, only oh no, it's only a skeleton by now, so they have to call the Jeffersonian and of course then Booth demands to get involved and there is more NCIS/FBI fun stuff and Abby and Hodgins would totally geek out about bugs or something.

Also also, you know what would be the most amazing crossover ever? Bones and Castle. Because you know Brennan's aware of Castle, and she thinks he's a talentless hack who has no real understanding of forensic science, and I bet they once met at some conference or event and he totally hit on her and she was like EW, GO AWAY PLEASE, and then Beckett and Booth would be over in the corner rolling their eyes and trading war stories about the ridiculous situations their civilian partners have gotten them into.

And after that, I want a Castle/Dresden Files crossover. And a pony.

Okay so YOU GUYS. Earlier this week, I read this article/photo gallery from EW about this week's NCIS episode, which they're setting up to spin off a new series...

...which will star LL COOL J and CHRIS O'DONNELL. You heard me.

So of course I had to watch it. And OMG, they *have* to pick this show up, you guys. They *have* to. Because it is golden. (I really can't imagine that they won't, since NCIS gets ridiculous ratings, and CBS looooves their procedurals. Hey, as long as they keep renewing HIMYM and BBT*, I'm happy.)

ANYWAY. Reasons why this show is awesome and must therefore be properly spun off:

1. Chris O'Donnell totally stole the "Reinventing Yourself as a Badass Crazyperson for Early 90s Heartthrobs" handbook from Brian Austin Green, and I am 100% on board with that. See? His character is supposed to be this ~amazing~ undercover guy who can become anyone, and who is so ~mysterious~ that he doesn't even know his own first name. YES. Hilarity potential = incalculable.

2. LL Cool J spends the entire show with this SUPER-INTENSE look on his face, even when all he was doing was manipulating their secret-agent version of the CNN Magic Wall, which of course is filled with video footage of bad guys instead of electoral maps. Picture, if you will, LL Cool J making his intense face while engaged in the SRS BSNS of...stabbing the screen with his fingers and *swooshing* videos from one monitor to another. Again, YES.

And there was some other stuff too, but I wasn't paying all that much attention. DEAR CBS, PLEASE PICK THIS SHOW UP. It will be EPIC.

* Yeah, I finally started watching BBT. It's annakovsky's fault; I dare you to read The Failure of Einstein's Universe and not fall in love with a) the show, and b) the pairing. I am but one of many who have now seen the light.

...I think Mr. Murty is stalking me. He was in my NCIS rerun at the gym today and he just showed up in the Bones episode we're watching (middle of season 3! woohoo!). I will be non-shocked if he turns out to the the murderer in this one. :P Oh, late 1990s General Hospital, I miss you.

(PS, Brennan in the Wonder Woman costume? ASDLKFJS AWESOME.)
